Electric Forest Festival Reveals Preliminary 2026 Lineup Highlighting 100 Artists
The annual Electric Forest in Michigan is making its way back to Rothbury on June 25–28, 2026, and the festival has just disclosed its initial lineup. With a blend of music, art, and woodland enchantment, Electric Forest focuses on connection, excitement, and exploration. This year’s roster of 100 artists spans genres from electronic and indie to jam and international sounds, providing an exhilarating preview of what the Forest Family can anticipate next year.
The 2026 lineup of Electric Forest features renowned names from the electronic and live music scenes. Among the headliners are ILLENIUM, Excision, KASKADE, GRiZ (performing two sets, including Chasing the Golden Hour), Chris Lake, and The String Cheese Incident. Additionally, a unique DJ Diesel B2B T-Pain bass set will take place, alongside performances from ISOxo, Ganja White Night, and Purple Disco Machine.
Notable mentions in the lineup include Madeon, LSDream, Channel Tres, Bob Moses (Club Set), and Passion Pit. Also showcasing drum & bass from Andy C, Ivy Lab, and Wilkinson, alongside funk-fueled bass from Vincent Antone, as well as experimental acts like Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Sam Gellaitry, SBTRKT (DJ Set), and Night Tapes, highlight Electric Forest’s ongoing fascination with diverse genres.
In addition to the music, attendees can dive into a forest paradise, brimming with imaginative installations and multi-sensory experiences. And if last year’s Electric Forest serves as any indication, 2026 is set to be spectacular. My Modern Met’s Editor-in-Chief Eugene Kim had the privilege of experiencing the festival in 2025 and quickly grasped why it holds such a loyal fanbase.
“My experience at Electric Forest exceeded all of my expectations,” he remarked. “It was a breathtaking blend of exceptional music, art, and culture, all combined into one event. I spoke to numerous individuals who believed that Electric Forest was their home away from home. The positive energy flowing through the forest was palpable, rooted in a celebration of creativity.”
