Label + crater stage takeovers – highlighting community and scene leadership through curated programming
Thornville, Ohio – Lost Lands has always been more than just a festival. It’s a gathering point for the bass community, and nowhere is that spirit more evident than at The Crater. This iconic stage continues to embody the raw energy of bassheads, serving as a hub where labels, artists, and fans come together for an unmatched experience.
One of the biggest highlights of The Crater is the Subsidia Records takeover. As Excision’s flagship label, Subsidia has built its reputation on pushing bass music forward and providing a platform for emerging talent.
During the takeover, bassheads can anticipate unreleased tracks, heavy-hitting collabs, and sets that embody the forefront of modern dubstep. With newcomers stepping into the spotlight and veterans pushing boundaries, the Subsidia takeover transforms The Crater into a hub of bass music innovation, and a peak into the future of the scene.

Lost Lands also amps up the energy before the festival even kicks off with Pre-Party Takeovers at The Crater. These curated pre-parties set the tone for the weekend, giving fans an early taste of the chaos to come. With epic b2b2b2b2b sets, surprise guests, and exclusive lineups, these takeovers are designed to hype the crowd and keep you on your toes.
The Crater will showcase Gud Vibrations, hosted by the legends themselves: SLANDER and NGHTMRE. As well as, Rude Service hosted by Bear Grillz, and Port Zero hosted by Infekt. You can catch me on the rail for each and every one of these wild takeovers.
I had the opportunity to experience The Crater stage at Lost Lands 2024, the first year that it was open, and it was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned veteran, the pre-party at The Crater offers the perfect chance to dive straight into the heart of Lost Lands’ culture.
At The Crater, you’re not just witnessing history… you’re part of it. Early entry for the Pre-Party is still available here. See you guys in the pit!
