Atlanta’s Jungle Bells
ATLANTA, GA — Following this summer’s major phase-one reveal, Atlanta’s Jungle Bells announces its single-day lineups and the launch of single-day ticket sales for its biggest edition yet — December 12–13, 2025 — starting with a dual-room kickoff on Friday and expanding into a full four-stage takeover on Saturday inside The Masquerade, each space carrying its own pulse, energy, and sound.
What began as a photocopied-flyer rave has evolved into one of North America’s most respected independent drum & bass festivals — a grassroots movement turned global culture hub. The 2025 edition unites the most in demand international heavyweights, breakthrough innovators, and Atlanta’s underground crews for two nights that capture the full spectrum of the genre — from liquid rollers and techstep to jungle, neuro, and experimental bass.
FRIDAY — DECEMBER 12
Anthems, Emotion & Pure D & B Energy
Friday sets the weekend in motion with sky-high intensity and melodic precision. Rudimental, the Grammy-nominated, BRIT Award-winning UK collective, brings their stadium-sized sound to an intimate setting — a rare U.S. performance that bridges festival euphoria with underground grit. Mozey and Sota deliver high-octane bassline anthems, while Goddard uplifts with liquid-driven melodies that shimmer.
Trailblazer Circadian injects a fierce, genre-smashing UK edge along with weird and liquid beats from Visages and Monroe supported by ATL favorites DJ Wednesday, Subconscious BSC, and 360 Degrees bringing local firepower to the mix, closing the night in true family-rave spirit. The evening culminates in classic-meets-future form with Critical Sound System and a stacked cast of selectors — a main-stage experience that still feels handcrafted for the heads.
SATURDAY — DECEMBER 13
The Deep End: Legends × Next Wave
Saturday dives into the darker heart of D&B — a collision of eras and styles that defines the festival’s underground ethos. King of the new jump up sound BOU and Kings of the Rollers ft Serum, Voltage, Bladerunner + Inja lead the charge with their trademark chaos-meets-craft energy, while Roni Size returns for another round of Bristol brilliance going b2b with a Legend DJ SS from World of Drum and Bass. Icons Dillinja and Danny Byrd anchor the night with raw sound-system weight, balanced by melodic visionaries like ÆON:MODE, Fred V and Tomorrowlands resident, Andromedik.
The new-wave fire continues with Venjent, the viral D&B phenom alongside B-Complex, LSB & DRS, Basstripper, and Sustance creating a finalé that moves from emotional storytelling to all-out rave catharsis. Across the stages, regional crews and U.S. risers keep Atlanta’s late-night energy burning deep into the early hours.
Each Masquerade room — Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and Altar — will transform into its own sonic world with custom lighting, projection mapping, and sub-shattering sound systems. Expect an immersive experience with four-stage interplay, upgraded visuals, and afterparties that stretch into sunrise — proof that Atlanta’s rave roots still thrive beneath the skyline.
“This festival has always been about authenticity — no gimmicks, just the music and the people who love it,” says co-founder Brandon Couturier. “The crowd here knows their history and shows up ready to go deep. That energy is what keeps drum & bass alive in Atlanta.”
As co-founder MJ Lee points out, the driving force behind Jungle Bells has always been its underground ethos — a refusal to follow trends or overproduce for mass appeal. Fans are “craving the underground again,” he says, “seeking that raw, real connection built on sweat, sound, and community”. More than two decades in, their focus remains the same: respect for the artists, care for the fans, and a shared love for the music that built this scene.
“We say this every year — Jungle Bells isn’t just a lineup, it’s a family reunion,” Brandon concludes. “Half the crowd knows each other from other cities, and the other half leaves with ten new friends. That’s what keeps us doing it.”
