Welcome back friends, to the Cherry Orchard. On the northeast corner of the rectangle, it’s not a bad place to call home. The last two years, cherries have been ripening on the tree during the festival. Believe what you want. Herald back to days gone by, lost in the interactive labyrinth that is GA. The forgotten horizon of apes and fools and a clown college of blatant fun. These are the Michigan wooks, doncha know? And the source. Happy Forest. It has begun. Electric Forest Unveils 2025 Lineup. Danger swamp.

Continuing the tradition of engaging the Forest Family in creative reveals, Electric Forest sparked lineup speculation and excitement in the community. First posting discreet hints on official social media channels, then sending poems, limericks, and coded messages to various Loyalty Tiers via SMS, astute fans began to piece together which of their favorite artists would appear on the 2025 lineup. Finally, EF Radio, a community-driven radio platform dedicated to broadcasting frequencies from The Forest, spun a curated playlist of artists on the lineup, mixed with messages from fans who called in and correctly guessed 2025 artists, leading into the official lineup reveal.
