QUASAR STAGE
Step into the shadows this New Year’s as LIMINIL unveils a brand new chapter at the heart of Little Forest Festival — The Quasar Stage. Dedicated to the raw energy of underground Drum & Bass, expect deep, rolling cuts and stripped-back minimalism delivered with unrelenting intensity. Powered by the precision of our custom KV2 sound system, every drop will hit harder, every rhythm will resonate deeper. As 2025 fades and 2026 awakens, there’s only one place to be — locked into the low-end, where the basslines don’t just roll… they rave. Times: 6 pm on 31 December 2025 – 12 pm on 2 January 2026
