Electric Forest is about the music as much as it is about the setting. The organizers curate a mind-melting array of world-famous DJs, electronic acts, and jam bands. Artists tend to thrive in the live setting, which features incredible orchestrated light shows, stage sets with mechanical blooming flowers and other surreal embellishments. Most sets are long, sweaty dance-a-thons that leave the audience clamoring for more. When it’s time to vacate, the grounds of the Double JJ never truly die down. This is owed in part to the “pulse” of the event, the Sherwood Forest.
