Jess Nelson Imagine wandering through a neon-lit forest where every twist of the trail leads to a new sound, a new vibe, and a new version of yourself. That’s Electric Forest, and in 2025, the magic returns June 19–22 in Rothbury, Michigan—and yes babe, it’s going off.
Whether you’re an Electric Forest veteran or a first-timer finally answering the call of the trees, this year’s lineup is next-level galactic. We’re talking Justice, Disclosure, Zeds Dead, FISHER, Khruangbin, Tiësto, Louis The Child, and Of The Trees—an elite mix of house, bass, techno, funk, indie, and vibe undefined. Forest doesn’t cater to one scene—it is the scene. And this year’s got that perfect blend of legacy names, rising stars, and “wait, who was THAT?” discoveries you’ll be streaming all year.
The Lineup is STACKED—No, Literally
Let’s talk highlights:
- Justice is gonna tear up the main stage with that crunchy, cinematic French electro that lives rent-free in our serotonin centers.
- Zeds Dead is bringing their full-spectrum bass insanity with “Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness” (iconic name, we know).
- Disclosure, Tiësto, and FISHER are here for the house heads and late-night dancers, while Khruangbin adds that chill, global groove perfect for a golden hour sway.
- Sub Focus, Cloonee, Of The Trees, Dixon’s Violin, Say She She, Nia Archives, Mochakk, bbno$, Mike Posner, Confidence Man… like, do we keep going? You’ll be running from stage to stage in the best way.
And let’s not forget the legends of the Forest themselves—The String Cheese Incident—returning to sprinkle that jam-band joy across the trees like musical fairy dust.
More Than Music—It’s a Whole Freakin’ Universe
Electric Forest isn’t just about who’s on the lineup. It’s about what happens between the sets. We’re talking:
- Daily yoga under the trees for your peace, posture, and hangover recovery.
- The Silent Disco, where you dance your face off at 2AM with glowing headphones on and zero regrets.
- Curated events, pop-up parties, and immersive art that feel like walking through your own lucid dream.
- Light-up mushrooms, hammocks everywhere, glitter, bubbles, and strangers that instantly feel like soulmates.
The Forest is a vibe, a sanctuary, a playground. It’s where you dress up like a space fairy one night and wake up doing breathwork in a circle of strangers the next morning. There’s no wrong way to do Forest—only your way.
The Venue: Rothbury, MI = Straight-Up Magical
Held in the lush Sherwood Forest at Double JJ Resort, this venue is unlike any other festival you’ve been to. Trees that glow, stages that shift shape, and energy that hits you the second you step foot on the grounds. It’s intimate, yet huge. Wild, yet peaceful. No corporate chaos—just vibes, community, and pure creativity.
Ready to Go?
If this festival isn’t on your summer bucket list yet… girl, it should be. Electric Forest isn’t just a festival—it’s a transformational experience wrapped in four days of unforgettable music, art, and connection. Whether you’re raging up front or twirling barefoot in the woods, you’re gonna walk out a little more alive than when you came in.
Tickets and lodging packages are available now on AXS — but don’t wait too long, because this fest will sell out. From GA to Good Life VIP, there’s a pass for every kind of Forest-goer (and yes, camping is half the adventure).
So start planning those looks, grab your squad (or come solo—Forest fam is everywhere), and secure your pass to the weirdest, wildest, most beautiful weekend of the year.
Because the Forest? She’s calling.
