Electric Forest just unveiled an expansive initial lineup – featuring 100 artists – for its 2026 edition, as the festival returns to Rothbury, Michigan from June 25-28. Celebrated for its immersive environment and strong sense of community, Electric Forest continually redefines what it means to come together—showing that when music, art, nature, and human connection intersect, the result is a truly transformative experience. The 2026 lineup embodies the festival’s spirit of discovery, bringing together standout artists spanning electronic, crossover, indie, jam, and global sounds that reflect the evolving pulse of what’s next.
The Lineup
Electric Forest will welcome sets from dance and crossover superstar ILLENIUM, bass heavyweight Excision, pioneering electronic superproducer KASKADE, two sets from fan-favorite DJ and multi-instrumentalist GRiZ performing twice, including a Chasing The Golden Hour set, house hitmaker Chris Lake, and jam band visionaries The String Cheese Incident, performing multiple incidents, including a special Shebongle Shebang.
The Forest also provides an iconic and never-before-seen DJ Diesel B2B T-Pain (Bass DJ Set), techno heavy hitter Eli Brown, the contagious melodies of Disco Lines and groove-driven stylings of Purple Disco Machine, electrifying trap and bass standout ISOxo, and Belgian bass duo Ganja White Night. Added highlights include LSDream, Madeon, Levity, ALLEYCVT, Sammy Virji, Channel Tres, Bob Moses (Club Set), and Passion Pit.
Electric Forest’s lineup traverses every corner of the electronic spectrum, also featuring electro-soul and hip-hop beats from Daily Bread, funk-centric bass stylings from Vincent Antone, drum & bass architects Andy C and Ivy Lab, guitar-slinging rock meets bass performer Sullivan King, and melodic drum & bass craftsman Wilkinson.
