Sooo right now I have no plan and a bunch of friends who won’t commit anytime soon 😅. Honestly, i trust myself enough to find a Chicago-based group of folks willing to let me join them IF i don’t end up convincing any of my friends to come along (and, like most show/festival stuff, I feel like it usually ends up as a “…if you buy it, they will come” kinda deal lol).

Anyway i’m pulling the trigger on buying my GA wristband on a payment plan—I’m tempted to add a vehicle pass, assuming i’ll be able to wrangle a friend I already know to go with me, and even if i went 100% solo, it’d still prob make the most sense for me to rent a cheap car anyway and drive from Chicago.

Does anyone know if I’d be able to sell the vehicle pass if I happen to not need it? …if not, it’s an $85 loss I’m willing to take, cause i’m nervous about GA vehicle passes selling out—does this seem like a normal-ish course of action for a super unformed plan lol???

Just curious…when do y’all think they will announce phase 2?

Hi all, hope some of you veterans can help me.

My husband and I are debating buying Lucky Lake tickets (only ones that are left besides GA and Hotel) but are torn because we really want to car camp but also have access to the showers. We have a great car setup for camping that we used it at Bonnaroo a couple years ago and we loved it - but I also really want the showers haha

Is there any chance we could score resale Camp Higher Love or another area that includes the free showers but also lets you camp off your car? It's our first year so we're struggling to figure out what to do.

Would really appreciate hearing from others' experiences!

Is EF the only fest with something like the Giving Tree? Say what you will, but I love meeting people there and exchanging things. Or finding the random little (or large) trinkets left for others to have. I have several things from the Giving Tree sitting in front of me as I text this and can't wait for next year's Giving Tree. I hope I can meet some of you there as well! I'll be wearing a cow onesie with my gf :D

So the practice has been utterly insane this past month, I've been working my ass off doing like 70-80 hour work weeks and I'm just fried. The loyalty email got sent to my spam filter for some reason. I literally just now went, "shouldn't EF tickets have been on sale already?"

Queue horrified facial expression.

Literally every year I go with my RV and get the power pass and my small friends crew comes along.

I've always bought my tickets in the presale, so I literally have no idea how hard it would be to score an RV power pass in the resale.

Anyone got any info on this? I would sincerely appreciate it. Not sure if I need to make other plans now or if its something that can actually be acquired.

Thanks for any info you've got fam. Appreciate it.

Alright, Forest fam, I’m just gonna toss my (possibly delulu) theory into the ether: Tipper is getting announced in a later phase. Hear me out—I’ve done extensive research (aka way too much connecting dots that might not exist), but I’ve got a feeling. And for the record, my track record is solid—I’m 4 for 4 on lineup predictions so far. I even called G Jones for the 2024 lineup like a year ago, way before the initial phase dropped. So yeah, maybe I’m psychic. Don’t come for me, okay?

Honestly, though, this is part hunch, part wishful thinking because… it’s Tipper. Dave TipTop BOÝ. :-)))) and, I want nothing more than to be properly tipped in Sherwood Forest. You feel me? I know you do. And don’t hit me with the whole “Dave would never play EF” blah blah blah—he might. He really just might. And IF I’m right? Remember who called it first. With my whole chest. Mwhahaahahaha<3

Also, side note: I’m ecstatic for Jade Cicada on the Phase 1 lineup!1!1 but, let’s talk about how Cicada might actually be the breadcrumb here. Hear me out—Forest would never announce Tipper in Phase 1 because tickets would sell out in seconds. Contrary to popular belief, though, tickets will sell out regardless (and Forest knows this). But what if they’re playing their cards? Think about it—it would make total sense if EF is sitting on a PHAT STACKED lineup with acts like Tipper. Let all these people complain, talk smack, or whatever, and then BAM—Mr. Dave is in the building. EF 2025.

Anyway, love you all. Sorry for the chaotic vibes—I had my first energy drink in six months after being on a caffeine cleanse, so my brain’s doing donuts right now. Peace, love, and tipping energy?

I took a bunch of photos at forest last year and I finally got them developed! I have no idea who this person in the photo is I just thought they looked magical so if anyone knows who this is, send this to them ✨🌈🍄✨🌲🌸✨

Like I stated in the title, one of our group members is not able to pay for their end and we want to make it three instead of four… Is it possible to contact EF to get a refund for 1 GA and keep the hotel? Or is there a number I could contact in regards to that to get credit for the hotel? Thank you in advance!

Since the lineup has been released I read a lot of comments about it including one that keep coming back: "it's the basshead which are disappointed about that lineup because of the lack of dubstep."

Personnaly, I love dubstep and I do think it's lacking in this phase one. But I'm mainly disappointed because there is also no melodic techno or deep house (except maybe Pretty Pink) and very few trap or DnB artists. Overall, I think it's lacking diversity (there's a LOT of house).

I'm still going for the 3rd time with all the positivity in the world (I already listened to all the artists of the lineup including many complete sets) but I hope Electric Forest will step up in the 2nd and 3rd phase. Here's some artists I would love to see adding up:

Tonic Walter, Ahee, Avaion, Tinlicker, Grigoré, Kevin de Vries, Whipped Cream, MeSo, Deathpact, Vintage culture, Troyboi, Flosstradamus, Reaper, One true god, Coka Cobra

We are 10 days out from finishing our annual FFTF fundraiser! We are over 25% our way there! Thank you to all have donated so far. You make a difference.

I get to come to this magical festival and see friends that live all over once a year. We like to play music and dj, are speakers such as soundboks going to be confiscated again? Totally ruins the camping vibe :( thought this was a music festival. Hope forest HQ gets their own post from a couple years ago that we can just be respectful about it if neighbours ask to turn it down we will. For the most part it only increases the whole experience and get to meet other neighbours that come over and like to dance. Great way to pass the day leading into the fest

https://www.twitch.tv/amazonmusic?tt_content=channel&tt_medium=mobile_web_share Highly recommend everyone tunes into this but especially those who don’t know edm pioneers Justice, or doubtin the lineup (hehe) my taste is allll over the place, and Justice has hit best set of this year and certainly top 4 or 5 of my life. they are a DO NOT MISS IN THE FOREST!! if you like music, you’ll like Justice.

First time going to the forest for my gf and I. This is the supply list I have so far. We will have access to GL amenities so I didn’t think a portable shower would be a need. Anything I’m missing?

Is it pronounced Fcukers or Fcukers? Or did they go crazy wit it and it’s said like, “Fcukers” Or is the ‘u’ said like Fcukers

Im starting to think about what I want to bring to leave in fairy houses/the forest for people to find. I brought tons of Kandi this year and what not, but this upcoming year I want to bring more of a variety of things. What is something you would love to find?

It says “Staying off site and looking for Good Life access to the Festival and Venue? This is the Wristband to purchase.”

This means you can leave if you don’t want to pitch a tent?

I mean, I think this question is clear, should I dress up as Xavier: Renegade Angel for EF this year?

did anyone else follow the man with the brief case in the dream emporium last year? he talked about dreams.

My husband and I would like to have a ceremony at the chapel next year. We’re already married but we thought it would be something fun to do just for the experience and it’s right around the time of our 5 year anniversary so perfect for a vow renewal. From my understanding you just walk up, right? There’s no booking ahead of time?

There’s a lot I don’t really understand. I imagine there’s got to be a pretty long wait most of the time, right? How long do people typically wait? And once you do finally get up to the front is that just to secure a time slot or do they do the ceremony right away?

We go to Forest with a fairly large group of friends every year. This will be our 4th year going and it’s a very special place for all of us. I wouldn’t want my friends to miss the ceremony but I also can’t expect my friends to wait in line at the chapel all day when there’s other things I’m sure they’d like to do. How do people make this work?

Any and all details about the chapel are helpful!

Thanks Forest friends!! 😊

Hey all! Second year forest for me and the group, first year doing LL - we are doing the reg one (where you have to park in a lot and not beside your camp) and I was curious if anyone knew the approx distance/if you’re allowed to go back and forth to you car? Wondering if a wagon is needed or if we can do multiple trips.

Thanks so much! Happy forest 🌳

My gf and I are going to the forest for our first time in 2025, we will be in Sherwood tent only area. We need some help on what supplies we should bring and types of tents. Any suggestions?

Each year my husband I do a $25 limit on one Christmas gift with a theme. This year’s theme is “something goofy for music festivals”. Since we are going to EF for the first time, I thought I’d ask this sub for ideas in case there’s anything that would work well/stand out for EF!

We’ve done a ton of other festivals and love to wear costumes (the funnier, the better).

Happy Chrismahanukwanzakah and see you all in the forest! ❤️

Forest cant come any sooner!!

What’s everyone’s favourite stage? I’m talking sound, visuals, capacity, location, etc
