Well, the time of preparation for festival season is upon us. Few festivals garner as much attention and retain so much control over the EDM populace as Electric Forest. And for good reason, the multi-day event has consistently featured some of the highest production value and was one of the first breakout festivals after it transformed from Rothbury. This year is no different, and we now have a first glimpse of this year's incarnation of the show.
As the lineup below can attest, the people over at Insomniac are pulling out the big guns. With Bassnectar, String Cheese Incident and Major Lazer occupying top pedastal, it almost doesn't even need to be said, but it gets even better. with the likes of Beats Antique, Bonobo (DJ Set), Flosstradamus, Porter Robinson (live), Nahko and Medicine for the People, Griz, Baauer, STS9 and The Disco Biscuits, and that's barely scratching the surface of impressive artists. With other huge names like The Polish Ambassador, The Floozies, Paper Diamond, EOTO, Adventure Club, Ott & the All-Seeing I, Caspa B2B Rusko, Manic Focus and G Jones after just an initial investigation, there's a reason Electric Forest completely sold out before the lineup even got announced. Which then saves me the hassle of telling you where to find tickets besides blasting all of your Facebook friends for a spare.
