A genre-labeled lineup chart for Lost Lands 2025, created by Instagram user @rezg.mpg and shared on the r/lostlandsmusicfest subreddit, has stirred lively discussion among fans. The chart breaks down the full lineup into key electronic genres: Dubstep/Brostep/TearOut, Riddim, Melodic, House/Techno/Other 4×4, Drum and Bass (DnB), and Hardstyle.
What’s Going On:
- The visual chart assigns each artist under a specific genre color, aiming to help festival-goers understand what type of electronic sounds to expect.
- Many artists labeled as “riddim” triggered debate. Some fans argue this grouping is overly broad or misapplied.
- Confusion arose about distinctions between riddim as a dubstep subgenre or standalone category.
- Notably, artists like Ivy Lab and Koan Sound confirmed their sets will be Drum and Bass, not riddim, contrasting with their chart placement.
- Some commenters noted this isn’t the first time such a genre guide for Lost Lands has circulated.
Why It Matters:
With Lost Lands known for heavy bass music diversity, this genre guide could be a helpful navigation tool — but the conversation shows that genre lines in bass music remain blurry and hotly debated. Fans appreciate the attempt to map out styles but hold differing views on accuracy.
For festival attendees, this chart offers a quick peek at the lineup’s electronic flavors — just take the genre tags with a grain of salt, and expect plenty of styles to blend on stage.
