Each summer, just as anticipation for Electric Forest reaches fever pitch, tens of thousands of fans - traveling from all parts of the country, and the world, gather at the Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, Michigan for the music & camping adventure of a lifetime. Excitement for Electric Forest has never been greater, with last year's festival selling out before the lineup was announced, just a mere two weeks after tickets went on sale.
Electric Forest recently announced news of the festival's
"Intimate Expansion of Community" for 2017. Electric Forest's move to offer two distinct, back to back weekends at a lower capacity strives to nurture the evolution and growth of the EF community while honoring the much cherished EF experience. Electric Forest producers Madison House Presents and Insomniac hope that expanding the festival to two weekends in 2017 allows the EF community to invite more friends, participate in more ideas, and continue to contribute to this next chapter of Electric Forest together.
Entering its seventh year, Electric Forest is known for bringing together a passionate group of fans whose shared community spirit makes the festival a truly unique experience. The festival incorporates the natural beauty of the venue into carefully crafted art pieces and creatively themed environments, while colorful interactive characters and storylines blend with eclectic performing artists and musicians.
With its astonishing and unparalleled integration of music, art and community, Electric Forest delivers "The ultimate festival experience." From the carefully curated musical lineup, to the jaw-dropping
Sherwood Forest, to the festival's unprecedented participatory spirit, to the site's incomparable features and amenities - Electric Forest creates a vibe so thick with "camaraderie and freedom...it must be experienced to be appreciated."
Known for fully embracing the possibilities of an engaged festival community,
Electric Forest's Plug In Program deliberately blurs the line between event organizers and attendees. With this truly unique "open source" fan engagement platform, Electric Forest harnesses the creativity and passion of its community members, offering real and tangible ways for fans to participate in and ultimately help shape the Electric Forest experience. This is a big deal, since for Electric Forest - experience trumps all.
