Electric Forest has always been more than just a music festival. It’s an experience where sound, nature, and the dance music community come under the trees of Rothbury, Michigan every June. And in 2025, Electric Forest is leveling up in a big way.
With 40+ new artists added to the lineup, extended late-night hours, and major stage upgrades, Electric Forest 2025 is looking to be one of the most immersive and ambitious editions yet. Daily lineups have officially dropped, and there’s something for everyone—from Tiësto’s debut at the main stage to a special A/V set from Zeds Dead as part of their Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness tour.

Forest After Dark: 4 AM in the Forest
New this year, the Forest will stay open past 4 AM, giving night owls more time to roam, chill, and experience the magic that makes Electric Forest so unique.
Whether you’re exploring late-night art installations, discovering a secret set, or simply getting lost in the glow of the Forest, this extended schedule adds depth to the festival experience. Sherwood Forest is something special, and this year, the magic lasts longer than ever.
Stage & Sound Improvements: Bigger, Better, Louder
If you thought the production at Forest was great before, it’s getting even better in 2025. Electric Forest is rolling out major upgrades to some of its most beloved stages. The Observatory and Honeycomb stages will be upgraded with new sound systems, and the Honeycomb will be expanded to fit more attendees.
One of Honeycomb’s most famous moments was Levity’s 2023 Forest debut. The trio filled in after a last-minute cancelation, and it was a career-defining moment in their rise to the top. It’s a perfect example of the moments that make Forest special.
Meanwhile, Triploee will get much-needed shade structures in the crowd area, ensuring daytime sets are just as comfortable as they are loud. From yoga in the day to bass-fueled nights, Electric Forest 2025 will see many significant upgrades.
Final Thoughts
Between the upgraded lineup, later hours, and improved stages, Electric Forest 2025 is looking like more than just another year in Rothbury. It’s a new chapter.
Whether you’ve been to forest ten times or if this is your first, the Forest has something for everyone.
