Leeds’ newest open air forest festival Beyond The Woods reveals lineup

There’s a new festival to look forward to for house and techno fans, as Beyond The Woods 2025 has announced a fantastic lineup for their first ever edition. Hidden deep within the ancient forest grounds of Hazlewood Castle between Leeds and York, Beyond The Woods brings an incredible array of house masters to an open air music wonderland on Saturday 7th June 2025. 

The inaugural lineup spans two stages; the one-of-a-kind woodland stage hosted by Amsterdam party starters Slapfunk and the tantalising treehouse stage from Leeds-based rave connoisseurs Ruckus24. Reeshy and Rossi will head up Slapfunk’s mythical woodland stage alongside Mella Dee B2B Samuel Deep, Saoirse, and Voigtmann B2B Laidlaw; while a soon-to-be-announced special guest is taking over the treehouse stage in addition to DXNBY, Josh Demello, Julian Fijma, and Ola + Lucia. 

It’s set to be a legendary first instalment, so sign up for pre-sale tickets on Skiddle before they go live at 9am on Friday 28th February, with general sale releasing just an hour later. Make sure you don’t miss Leeds’ first ever open air forest experience.
