Lost Lands 2025 is just around the corner (September 19–21, Legend Valley, Ohio), and the r/lostlandsmusicfest community is buzzing with strategies to navigate the notoriously stacked lineup and conflicting sets.
Key Advice From the Tribe: Pick Wisely, Stay Flexible
Festival fans widely agree it’s impossible to catch every artist you want at Lost Lands. The secret? Prioritize! The top considerations swirling in fan discussions are:
- New Music & Unique Productions: Artists dropping fresh tracks or innovative sets promise the most memorable experiences.
- High Production Value: Since Lost Lands sets a high bar with stage design and effects, choosing artists known for radiant visuals and tech elevates your night.
- Energy & Performance: Go for your personal favorites with the wildest, most engaging live shows—not just the biggest names.
Must-See Artists Locking In Fan Hype
- Space Laces
- Crankdat
- Subtronics
- ATLiens
- Slander
- Tape B
- Illenium
- Peekaboo

- Svdden Death
These names pop up again and again in community chats as non-negotiables for an epic Lost Lands experience.
Embrace the Flow: Flexibility is Your Friend
While “can’t-miss” sets are important, many advise staying open to spontaneous discovery during schedule overlaps. Rumor has it early sets (before 6 or 7 pm) are often cut short, so the prime evening hours get full focus.
The handwritten artist lists making the rounds showcase how deep the bass-heavy lineup runs. There’s simply no way to see it all—and that’s a big part of Lost Lands’ magic.
Bottom Line: Prioritize, Roam, Discover
Lost Lands veterans urge newcomers to pick sets based on newness, production value, and energy—but also surrender to the festival vibe by exploring unknown acts. Accept that missing some favorites is part of the experience, and keep your ears and mind open.
