On the first full day of music at Electric Forest, the melting pot of electronic, jam, funk, and soul music ensued with the main stage holding performances from The String Cheese Incident, STS9, Dumpstaphunk, and Nahko & The Medicine For The People. Dozens of acts sprawled the grounds on Friday, from The Soul Rebels with Talib Kweli & GZA, to Papadosio, to Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and Paper Diamond. The energy was continuous and set the tone for what is expected to be another great weekend in the Forest!

Of course, the String Cheese Incident delivered one of the most anticipated sets of the weekend, which included a very special tribute to the lost legend Bernie Worrell as well as a surprise sit-in from GRiZ during a stellar version of James Browns‘ “Cold Sweat.”

Watch a clip of SCI covering the Talking Heads‘ “Naive Melody” in memory of the Wizard of Woo, and check out the full setlist below:

The fun continues today and night, with more exciting acts from The String Cheese Incident, The New Mastersounds, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Flosstradamus, and so many more. But please remember, in case you’ve forgotten, there are Seven Ways To Not Be A Dick At Electric Forest!
