If you’ve never driven up to Rothbury in late June when Electric Forest is happening, it’s hard to explain the scale of it. The quiet stretch of Oceana County farmland and woods suddenly becomes a glowing, music filled city for four days. Tens of thousands of people pour into the Double JJ Resort as trees light up with art installations, lasers, and hidden stages tucked deep into the forest. It feels less like a concert and more like someone flipped a switch on an entirely different world. And in 2026, that world is getting even bigger.

Electric Forest 2026 Lineup Keeps Growing

Electric Forest just added more artists for its 14th edition, expanding a lineup that already included more than 100 performers. According to MLive, new additions include Lane 8, Galantis, and the newly reunited improvisational electronic duo EOTO. Aron Magner from The Disco Biscuits will also team up with Cloudchord for their experimental DEADTRONICA project inspired by the Grateful Dead.
