Jungle Bells booked 55 acts and 52 of them play no other festival we track
Three nights of drum & bass under Atlanta in December. 52 of the 55 acts are at no other festival we hold, the most of any US bill.
Most festivals share their lineup with somebody. Jungle Bells barely shares it with anyone.
Jungle Bells runs 11 to 13 December at Underground Atlanta, 51 days out. It has 55 names on the bill. 52 of them play no other festival we track this season. That's 94.5% of the lineup.
Where that ranks
We hold 77 upcoming festivals with 20 or more names. Jungle Bells is 2nd of the 77 on the share of its bill you can only see there. The one above it is a 23-name house festival in Puerto Vallarta next March.
Narrow it to the 39 in the US and Jungle Bells is first. Nobody else is close to 52 of 55.
The six US bills with the biggest share you can only see there
Another way to see it. Count how many of our festivals each act on the bill plays, this one included, and average it. At Jungle Bells the answer is 1.05. That's the lowest of any US bill we hold, and second lowest of all 77.
The three who travel
Only three acts on the bill turn up anywhere else in the catalog, and each at exactly one other festival.
Reaper plays Cyclops Cove in Boca Raton the weekend before. The other two go a long way. Lens is on Rhythm and Vines in Gisborne, New Zealand, over New Year. S.P.Y is on Northern Bass in Mangawhai, New Zealand, the same week.
So the names you might know from the top of this bill, like London Elektricity, Ed Rush, Optical, Technimatic and Submorphics, each show one upcoming festival in the app. It's this one.
Four other festivals run the exact same three days: Tomorrowland Thailand, We Belong Here: Tampa Bay, Tahoe Live and Djakarta Warehouse Project. Between them they book 194 different names. Not one of them is on the Jungle Bells bill.
What the number is and isn't
None of the ten acts on our Most Booked board are here. That isn't a knock. It's the other side of the same number.
There is also a plain reason the share is this high, and it's partly ours. Drum & bass in the US mostly happens in clubs, and we count festivals, not club shows. Of the 17 upcoming bills in our catalog tagged drum & bass with 20 or more names, ten are in Australia or New Zealand. Only three are in the US: this one, Cyclops Cove and Beyond Existence in Texas. Even the biggest drum & bass bill we hold in Europe, Let It Roll Winter in Prague in January, shares nothing with Jungle Bells. So "nowhere else" means nowhere else among the festivals we track. A DJ on this bill may well have a club date next month.
What it does mean is that no other festival in our catalog is booking these 52 acts this season. Across all 2,903 names we hold, about four in five are on exactly one bill, so a single unique name is ordinary. A whole 55-name lineup built that way is not.
If you're going
The practical version is short. If you want to see Kelvin 373, Selecta J-Man, T & Sugah or Quadrant at a festival before the year is out, this is the one. Follow them in the app and you'll hear when that changes.

Counts are from the Electric State festival catalog on 21 October 2026: 77 upcoming festivals with 20 or more named acts, placeholders like "Lineup TBA" removed. "Play no other festival" means on no other festival we hold. US means a festival whose city carries no country name in our catalog.
