Dry-Aged Dubstep: A Pop-Up Steakhouse Is Coming to Excision’s Lost Lands Festival

The “elevated dining experience” will offer various cuts of beef and seafood along with sides like truffle fries and lobster potatoes.

After years of headbangers surviving on nachos and chicken tenders, Lost Lands, the prehistoric-themed festival founded by dubstep superstar Excision, is launching a full-service steakhouse complete with A5 Wagyu and caviar toppings.

Chomp Steakhouse is debuting on the grounds of the 2025 festival in Ohio, offering what organizers are calling an “elevated dining experience” overlooking its beloved Wompy Woods stage. The pop-up will operate Friday, September 19th through Sunday, September 21st from 2pm to midnight.

The restaurant will operate on a walk-up, pay-first model with no reservations. Dining sessions are capped at 60 minutes and alcohol must be ordered separately at the in-restaurant bar.

The menu centers around premium beef cuts and seafood. The priciest item is the A5 Wagyu steak at $120 for a 6oz portion, while a 10oz dry-aged ribeye runs $85 and 6oz filet mignon comes in at $25. For seafood, the restaurant offers grilled herb salmon for $29 and a $65 seafood tower featuring king crab, jumbo shrimp, oysters and accompaniments.

The sides menu includes lobster twice-baked potato, cheesy whipped potatoes, herbed truffle French fries, grilled asparagus and mesquite charred tomatoes. Premium add-ons, available table-side, include caviar, shaved Urbani truffles and crabmeat.

Vegetarians aren’t forgotten, with a chef’s tasting platter holding down the herbivore corner. And for dessert, the menu lists a single option: tiramisu at $12.

In other Lost Lands news, the festival is implementing a bevy of changes in 2025. These include the debut of “Dino Divas,” a designated camping area exclusively for female attendees, as well as new production designs at the Prehistoric and Wompy Woods stages. The event’s organizers are also restoring its full pyrotechnic arsenal after drought-related fire restrictions forced them to rely solely on drone displays last year.

Lost Lands returns to Legend Valley from September 19-21. You can check out the lineup here and purchase tickets on the festival’s official website.
