The lineup for the first-ever Electric Forest festival has been released and features an eclectic mix of acts. String Cheese Incident will perform three shows over the course of the four-day event, which takes place at the Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, MI on June 30 – July 3. Event promoters clearly went for the “we’re not like every other summer festival” feel for Electric Forest’s lineup as Dutch DJs Tiësto and Laidback Luke as well as Midwest rockers REO Speedwagon aren’t exactly doing the rounds this season.
Other acts on the electronica-heavy bill include Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, Shpongle presents The Shpongletron Experience and Kaskade. Representing the bluegrass element will be Railraod Earth, Greensky Bluegrass, The Infamous Stringdusters and the Emmitt-Nershi Band. For a taste of funk Lettuce and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe will be on hand, while JJ Grey & Mofro, Steez and Rubblebucket add a rock flair to the event.
Electric Forest tickets go on sale this Saturday at Noon ET.
