Picture this: you’re deep in the Michigan woods, surrounded by towering trees bathed in neon lights, the air buzzing with bass, and thousands of people dancing like there’s no tomorrow. Now, imagine missing out on that. Heartbreaking, right? Electric Forest 2025 is shaping up to be an unmissable experience, packed with world-class DJs, mind-blowing visuals, and that signature Forest magic. 

With a lineup featuring legends like Justice, Tiësto, Fisher, and Disclosure, plus a mix of house, techno, bass, and indie, this year’s edition will be one for the books. If you haven’t grabbed your ticket yet, it’s time to get moving because this is one festival you don’t want to hear about from someone else.

Thursday: Kicking Off the Madness with Justice & Liquid Stranger

The Forest won’t waste time easing into the action. Thursday night will hit hard with Justice bringing their iconic, electrifying live set to Rothbury. Expect a mix of old-school classics like D.A.N.C.E. and Genesis with fresh new bangers. Their signature French electro sound combined with a mind-melting light show will turn the Forest into a full-on sonic spectacle.

But if you’re craving something bass-heavy, Liquid Stranger is set to shake the trees with his deep, wobbly, interdimensional soundscapes. Known for pushing the limits of experimental bass and wonky dubstep, his set will be a hypnotic journey that bassheads won’t want to miss. Meanwhile, Tiësto, a festival staple, will bring his timeless big-room house energy to set the perfect tone for the weekend.

Friday: Feel-Good Vibes with Louis The Child

Friday will be all about the vibes, and Louis The Child is here to deliver them. Their infectious, feel-good beats will turn the festival into a euphoric dance party packed with singalongs and uplifting drops. Whether grooving to Better Not or floating away to Love is Alive, their set is guaranteed to be pure serotonin.

For those in search of something deeper, Caribou will bring his signature fusion of indie electronic and lush soundscapes. Tracks like Can’t Do Without You will wash over the crowd like a dream. Meanwhile, underground house lovers will find their home at Cloonee’s set, where bass-driven tech house will keep bodies moving deep into the night.

Saturday: Fisher & Disclosure Set to Take Over the Forest

Saturday will be massive. Fisher, the wildest personality in house music, will take the stage to deliver banger after banger. Losing It will undoubtedly send the crowd into a frenzy, but don’t expect just a predictable set. Fisher is known for throwing curveballs that keep the energy high.

Then, get ready for one of the most anticipated performances of the weekend: Disclosure. The duo will be bringing their signature UK garage-infused house vibes to the Forest. With hits like Latch and Tondo, their set will be an immersive, melodic experience packed with grooves you can’t resist. 

Sunday: Techno, Drum & Bass, and a Mind-Blowing Finale

Sunday might be the final day, but the festival isn’t slowing down one bit. Sara Landry and Worship are ready to serve up pounding techno, turning the Forest into a high-energy, underground rave. If you’re looking for relentless, hypnotic beats that don’t let up, this is where you need to be.

Drum & bass fans, get ready for a dream team: Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock, and 1991. The energy levels are going to be through the roof, with breakneck beats and euphoric melodies keeping the crowd in a state of constant motion. And for those looking for something more experimental, Khruangbin’s dreamy psychedelic soundscapes will provide the perfect contrast, taking the crowd on a sonic journey before the festival’s grand finale.

The String Cheese Incident: A Forest Tradition

Electric Forest wouldn’t be the same without The String Cheese Incident. This jam band has been an integral part of the festival since the beginning, delivering extended, improvisational sets that feel like a spiritual experience. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, witnessing them perform in the Forest is a rite of passage.

Their set is more of a gathering of the Forest’s heart and soul, a moment where everyone comes together to embrace the magic that makes this festival unlike any other. Expect a mix of bluegrass, funk, and rock, all blended into one psychedelic, genre-bending performance.

Beyond the Music: The Full Forest Experience

The festival will be packed with curated events, art installations, and interactive experiences that transform Rothbury into a mystical playground. From the glowing pathways of Sherwood Forest to surprise pop-up sets, there’s always something magical happening.

The Silent Disco will keep the party going until sunrise, offering a surreal late-night experience where hundreds of people dance together in near silence, each locked into their own private world of music. And for those needing a recharge, daily yoga sessions will provide a moment of peace before diving back into the madness.
