For the past few days, we’ve been hearing rumors regarding this. Although, we’re not one to spread anything without official confirmation. That said, earlier today, Electric Forest has officially announced that they will be expanding to two weekends. From what we read on social media, there is mixed feelings about that. It is unfortunate to hear that because we think news like this is incredible. That said, Electric Forest did address many issues that people had concerns about and we’re here to read their message and get the important details for you because we’re there for you.
What are the dates:
- Weekend 1: June 22 – 25
- Weekend 2: June 29 – July 2
Why is Electric Forest expanding to two weekends?
- “There are many who do not have the opportunity to participate because weekend passes sell out so quickly.”
Will there be the same lineup for both weekends?
- Short answer: No.
- Long answer: “There will be some musical artists who will appear on both weekends. These artists will perform different sets of music each weekend.

- “Many of these curated events and themes will be announced along with the initial line up prior to the on sale date of weekend passes.”
