Returning home from an electric time in Atlanta and reflecting on an unforgettable weekend at Jungle Bells that exceeded all expectations. The energy was high from start to finish and the music was exactly what my soul was craving. The lineup drew me in, along with attendees from across the country, and that shared passion for the music pulsed through both the crowd and the artists at every set I experienced. What a special way to close out 2025 shows and remind me of why I love DnB as much as I do.
As I walked down the stairs into The Masquerade, my excitement built and I had no idea what I was about to experience. Once I got a feel for the layout and vibe of the venue, I walked directly to the Hell Stage to see what it was all about. Visages was playing and his energy started the vibes off right with lasers to match. This stage was filled with heavy hitters all night with Monrroe and Buunshin to follow. The energy in the room was raw and the crowd was moving to every beat.
The Heaven Stage truly lived up to its name as it felt like Drum and Bass Heaven throughout the weekend. I found myself not being able to tear myself away Friday night especially. Mozey had us all dancing along with him to his high bpm tunes. I was absolutely captivated by Goddard. and loved the soulful energy of his set and the effect it had on the entire crowd. I couldn’t tear myself away from this stage and had to stay for Rudimental, who brought us so many beautiful songs, old and new, and turned Night 1 into a true party.
The Party Continued Saturday With A Night Full Of Diverse Sounds
As the second night began, I walked in with anticipation for all of the different sets available to us, and could not wait to see where the music took me. Catching the end of Jen Symmetry b2b Krystalize was a real treat as these ladies absolutely blew me away and lit up the stage. Oktae was also a radiant energy as she played her debut US set, complete with live vocals. LSB & DRS was so smooth and proper, a true showcase of authentic DnB energy. I also really enjoyed the surprise b2b of Sustance, Monrroe, & LSB playing together for the first time.
This really added something special to the evening. Speaking of surprises, Bou, DJSS b2b Roni Size, and Dillinja with Armanni Reign all left me pleasantly surprised with how unique and high energy they were. I truly did not see a set I did not enjoy myself at on Saturday night! I left the venue with so much gratitude for the experience and memories made with friends old and new.
The Love For DnB Was Truly Felt
The love was present from start to finish as Fred V played his lyrical tracks, which I and so many others were singing and flowing along to. This set was my most anticipated, and I was still blown away by this hour of music. The energy and emotion accompanied by the beautifully mixed liquid tracks and stunning visuals created a vibe that I carried with me for the rest of the night. Overall, I was bouncing around from all of the stages and taking in all of the different energies that came alive at Jungle Bells, and I loved the variety of music it gave fans the chance to absorb.
A Weekend I Won’t Forget
Choosing new experiences is something I really value these days, and it was refreshing as a DnB fan to be able to get this excited about an event. Watching so many artists I love absolutely light up the stage, and dancing to so much music that brings me joy with others who feel the same, was what made Jungle Bells a truly special and one-of-a-kind show. Traveling to explore a new city and to see such a diverse representation of my favorite genre was a great way to head into the holiday season.
