Electric Forest has officially unveiled its highly anticipated initial lineup for 2025, confirming the festival’s return to Rothbury, Michigan from June 19–22. Known for its immersive blend of music, art, and community, Electric Forest continues to be one of the most unique and beloved experiences on the global festival circuit. The 2025 edition promises to deliver another unforgettable journey with an eclectic lineup of world-class artists, spanning electronic, jam, indie, and beyond.
Topping the bill are French electro legends Justice, the ever-energetic FISHER, and Houston psych-funk trio Khruangbin. They’re joined by dancefloor icons Tiësto and Disclosure (DJ Set), along with Forest favorites Louis The Child, experimental bass maestro Liquid Stranger, genre-bending producer Of The Trees, and rising techno queen Sara Landry.
This year’s jam representation comes in the form of multiple sets from The String Cheese Incident, continuing their tradition as Electric Forest cornerstones. Meanwhile, bass heads and DnB fans will be thrilled by WORSHIP — the collaborative juggernaut of Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock, and 1991.
International flavor runs strong, with acts like Scottish breakout Barry Can’t Swim, UK jungle star Nia Archives, Brazilian DJ Mochakk, and Canadian trailblazer Caribou adding depth to an already rich lineup. Fans can also look forward to sets from Gordo, Loco Dice, Blond:ish, Cloonee, and Interplanetary Criminal, who represent the diverse flavors of house and techno.
The lineup also includes left-field favorites and genre disruptors like bbno$, Joey Valence & Brae, GASHI, and the ever-eclectic Confidence Man. Bass lovers will be pleased with names like Hamdi, Crankdat, Mersiv, and Jade Cicada rounding out the low-end spectrum.
In true Electric Forest style, the lineup reveal was anything but conventional. Teasers were sent out via cryptic messages, poems, and social media riddles, while EF Radio fueled speculation with playlists and fan call-ins, building excitement to a fever pitch.
Loyalty On Sales begin December 3 at Noon ET, followed by the General Public On Sale on December 6. To register for access and explore passes, packages, and exclusive programs, visit electricforest.com.
