Electric Forest has officially unveiled its first wave lineup for the 2026 edition, featuring over 100 acts across the electronic, jam, and alternative music spectrum. Set to return to Rothbury, Michigan from 25th to 28th June, the beloved camping festival continues to push the boundaries of sound and experience, blending world-class music with immersive art and natural wonder.

Among the marquee names are ILLENIUM, Chris Lake, Excision, and the return of GRiZ, performing both a main set and a special Chasing the Golden Hour performance. KASKADE is also confirmed for a major set, alongside longtime Forest staples The String Cheese Incident, who will perform multiple “incidents” including the return of the Shebongle Shebang. Other big draws include LSDream, Madeon, ISOxo, Purple Disco Machine, and a unique DJ Diesel B2B T-Pain bass set.

New additions and genre-expanding highlights include Passion Pit, SBTRKT (DJ Set), Shpongle (Simon Posford Live), SIDEPIECE, Jean Dawson, Channel Tres, Odd Mob, and Sammy Virji. Bass lovers can look forward to Wooli, Ravenscoon, and Ganja White Night, while house heads will be spoiled with sets from Eli Brown, Devault, and Vincent Antone. The 2026 lineup offers a rich cross-section of emerging and legacy talent, with representation from hyperpop, alt-rap, funk, psych, drum & bass, UKG, and more.

Electric Forest has long encouraged its community to lean into the magic of discovery, and the lead-up to the 2026 announcement continued this tradition with a multi-platform scavenger hunt involving riddles, poetry, and cryptic broadcasts via EF Radio. With both Loyalty Presale and General Sale fast approaching, the Forest Family is now set to plan another unforgettable journey into the woods. Presales begin 9th December at 12PM ET, with the General Public sale launching 12th December.
