With a lineup that has something for everybody, Electric Forest is going bigger and better this year. Not only is the lineup ridiculous, but the now legendary Sherwood Forest is being expanded for the first time ever. Filled with hammocks, art installations, extravagant light displays, and special performances at the Forest Stage by some of your favorite musicians, you will literally be taken into a dream world as the sun sets and the night takes over.
The 2013 edition of Electric Forest boasts 3 full magical performances by The String Cheese Incident, expect incredible sets from Pretty Lights, Passion Pit, Empire of the Sun, Knife Party, Above & Beyond, Dispatch, Lotus, NERVO, Holy Ghost!, Benny Bennassi, Emancipator, Femi Kuti & The Positive Force, SuckerPunch, Digital Tape Machine, and so many more!
Electric Forest is a festival that brings the big, but still feels small and intimate. Brought to you by Insomniac and Madison House, Electric Forest is a 4-day camping festival that takes place at the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury, MI from June 27th-June 30th. Along with General Admission camping, EF also offers The Good Life VIP Experience and other Add-Ons which boast the options of VIP Camping, or staying in your very own Log Cabin with your friends, along with all the amenities that you get with your VIP Experience.
Electric Forest isn’t just all about the party, it’s about giving back as well. Each year, EF has an annual Food Drive which has collected over 17,200 lbs. of food for local communities since 2011. The goal is to reach over 8,ooo lbs. this year. The Music in Schools Program partners with local area public schools to help support music education, and has assisted in buying new instruments for schools, as well as assisting programs that have suffered from budget cuts. To find out more about this and how you can help while out there, check out Electric Forest’s Giving Back page.
