r/ElectricForest

I didn’t have my phone last year due to dropping it in a port a potty but I remember my friend having trouble with sending texts and making calls during the festival. I need wifi this year for work and I’m wondering since this is like a resort and not a horse barn that it will perchance have somewhat okay wifi? Please let me know.

Been REALLY struggling to reduce weight and get my steps in. Still have just over a month, which can certainly help with energy and feeling better, but I haven't been in such poor shape before going to a fest like this in the past.

What would you guys recommend I do in advance, but especially items to bring or proper levels of break time at the fest itself. I love to dance and party but worry about how much I will have the energy to do it consistently feeling comfortable in my own skin.

Thanks y'all!

Hey everyone, I’m just curious for the people who come from out of state how much their trip tends to cost them. I’ve always wanted to attend the electric forest for the last probably decade and I finally decided I’m gonna send it in 2027 As long as there are tickets available when I try to get them. That being said what does it look like financially for you? I’m guessing right about $1000 for everything if planned properly but also what do you do about your camping gear, do you just figure out how to fit it all onto a checked bag or something?

I’m rewatching all my 2023 and 2025 Forest videos and I always notice how pretty the crowd is lit up by everyone’s light up totems. Not many flags blocking the view, which I appreciate.

I watched Wooli/Griz’s b2b set at edc and the view and stage is completely blocked by thousands of flags, some way taller than probably allowed. It’s honestly an ugly sight IMO.

I’d love to hear others thoughts on totems/flags at Forest and your preference or maybe you don’t even have a preference! I really love the creative lit up totems, it makes for a sea of people look SO cool at night.

Happy forest!!

Hey guys! I’m thinking of doing a community box that would sit in front of my car at the campsite (we will be in GA). What are some items that you think would be helpful?

Ideas I have so far:
- blister pads
- band aids
- air mattress repair kits
- condoms
- hair bands
- earplugs
- granola bars
- electrolyte mix
- clean straws/saline ampules
- fentanyl test strips (still looking into the legality of this one)
- Vitamin B12

If there is anything else you can think of let me know! I’m going to try to include as much as I can reasonably afford to, but if you would like to contribute lmk!

Happy forest!!!

What stage do you think they'll be at?

This will be my first camping festival but I’m going with a big group of veterans so honestly my only concern is if there’s going to be a way to watch USA’s last group stage match. Hopefully we preform the first two matches so the last one doesn’t have much weight but I’m not holding my breath for that.

The 9pm local kickoff time also isn’t ideal since everything will be in full swing. But does anyone know if Forest has any plans on setting something up so those who want to watch the game can? I couldn’t imagine a better first night than watching the US qualify for the group stage and then jumping back into whatever sets are going on.

We are trying to figure out our GL camp set up. Group of 12 of us, 4 camping passes. We are looking at purchasing a 20x20' plus sign shaped tent for a large portion of our group to sleep in. I remember in 2024 we had to be mindful of drive lanes in between rows of campsites. Do we think we could get away with a tent that wide?

I've tried asking HQ and GL concierge and they say they have no idea how big the GL Tent Camping sites will be.

Hey y'all just wanted to start a discussion thread for when people get their GA wristband shipment emails / receive the wristbands. I checked, and last year I got mine right about now. Anyones ship yet?!

Hey everyone, super excited for my first Forrest this year!!!! I just got my wrist bands, and for festivals I’ve been to in the past the camping pass came with the wrist bands, but this time I just got wrist bands and no camping pass. I am wondering if they send that separately? Or if I should get in contact with someone to get the passes? Any help is appreciated!

I bought AC landing through AXS resale. They were unable to verify what comes with it. Does anyone know if the parking is included? I alos bought separate GL admission. AC was like 4200 after fees... AXS could verify anything. Anyone have experience with this?

Edit: I got an answer from EF. Parking is included with camp, but admission is separate. Thanks everyone!

Hi!! Just wrapped up my 2nd EDC and was looking at planning my 3rd, but May isn’t a great time for me. I’ve discussed EF with my rave fam before, it’s semi-local since we’re in Chicago, closer than Vegas by a long shot. My question is, for anyone who’s done both, how do they compare?

I love the production value at EDC with the fireworks every night, dancers all over and crazy stage designs. I also love the variety of genres & artists at EDC. My main concern with EF however is camping - I love camping but it would take a looooot of convincing for my fam. How hard is it? EDC camping seemed horrible this year with the heat. Does staying at a hotel ruin the vibe for EF? Any and all opinions welcome ty!!!

Edit: tysm for all the input!! unfortunately camping is a non starter for my friends rn, but I’ll work on convincing them over the next year 🤪

EDC got Griz b2b Wooli who are both on the Forest lineup so I’m really curious as to who you think some secret b2b’s might be?? So excited for Forest! See you all in the forest hehehe 🙂‍↕️
