Forest Fam, the lineup drop we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived, and I think we all need a moment to process the sheer heat coming to Rothbury this summer.
Electric Forest 2026 Lineup [tickets]
Electric Forest has unveiled its initial lineup for the 2026 edition, returning to Michigan from June 25-28, 2026. Renowned for its immersive festive grounds, transformative community, and world-class production, Electric Forest is leveling up with a roster that hits every corner of the electronic spectrum. Get ready to dive deep into the woods, because this lineup is absolutely monstrous. Read our review of last year’s festival now.
Headliners: The Kings and Queens of Bass and House
This year’s top billing is a dream scenario for any electronic music fan, covering all the bases (literally).
- GRiZ: The beloved multi-instrumentalist has finally returned and is not just playing once, but offering two sets, including the coveted, more chill GRiZ (Chasing The Golden Hour) performance. Prepare for those soulful sunset moments.
- ILLENIUM & Excision: This is the one-two punch of emotional and heavy bass music. You get the feels, and then you get the rail-breaking drops. Ranch Arena will be shaking.
- Kaskade & Chris Lake: For the house heads, these two are main stage royalty. Kaskade brings the iconic progressive house sound, while Chris Lake guarantees infectious, tech-house driven grooves that will keep the floor moving all night.
And, of course, the heart and soul of the festival, jam band legends The String Cheese Incident, is back for multiple incidents, including a special Shebongle Shebang.
Never-Before-Seen Sets and Forest Surprises
The undercard is where the real magic lies, featuring some genuinely wild additions:
- DJ Diesel B2B T-Pain (Bass DJ Set): Yes, you read that correctly. Shaq (Diesel) and T-Pain are teaming up for a bass set. This is guaranteed to be one of those legendary, must-see moments that only Electric Forest can produce.
- Shpongle (Simon Posford Live): A monumental return for a true psychedelic experience. Get ready for the transcendent journey that is Shpongle.
- Bass & Trap Titans: Heavy hitters like Ganja White Night, ISOxo, Wooli, and the drum & bass legend Andy C ensure the bass stages remain fully saturated.
- House & Disco Grooves: The Forest will be vibey! Look for sets from Purple Disco Machine, Sammy Virji, SIDEPIECE, Odd Mob, and Disco Lines.
- Genre-Benders: The lineup is stacked with artists pushing boundaries: Daily Bread, LSDream, Madeon, and Eli Brown. Plus, alt-rap innovator Jean Dawson and hyperpop provocateurs Frost Children prove that the Forest truly welcomes all sounds.
