Restricted Forest
The procession: two figures carried above the crowd on platforms by green and blue cloaked bearers, the cog arch behind. Source frame RestrictedForest2026-1494.

Four realms. One forest.

Mind. Body. Spirit. Heart.

The Restricted Forest has four realms, each with its own build, its own emblem and its own guardian, and one day to find them all.

The cog and girder stage lit through heavy haze, crowd stretching back into the woods.
Main stageBody · The Machinist

Factory Realm

Cogs, steel and raw energy. The beating body of Restricted Forest, our main stage, built for the biggest sounds and the biggest moments.

Enter the realm
The stone castle stage set among the pines with the crowd gathered in front of it.

Castle Realm

Beyond the stone gates, the Castle rises through the pines. A realm built on atmosphere, energy and the spirit of the dancefloor.

The painted pyramid stage under a clear sky, arms up across a full crowd.

Pyramid Realm

A towering pyramid watches over the clearing. Lose yourself in the music, surrender to the moment and let your mind wander.
