OMG this festival lineup is looking sick! http://www.electricforestfestival.com/
I'm really excited for Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, EOTO, Bassnectar, and of course Excision. I have seen all these guys live and can attest to their dubstep mastery. Not to mention all the bluegrass bands that will also be there like the String Cheese Incident and Greensky Bluegrass. God this festival looks so sick and I really want to go... anyone else going?

idk whats up with all the hype with this festie...it looks average to me, looks like they tried too hard to get a vast array of acts...tiesto, then acts like nectar and PL? so random
i would only go to this festie if it was like a 3-4 hour drive tops from where i live, and its like triple that, so i wont be going...i bet half the acts at EFF are gonna be at Camp Bisco a week later and that festie is a 2 hour drive from my house, im going to Bisco, which will probly have a better lineup, actually it definetely will

Rothbury sort of fell under, and now another company has bought the promotion. Now it's Electric Forest. String Cheese is actually really pushing and helping them get back on their feet; that's why they're playing for three days and getting other members of the "String Cheese" family to help.
Honestly, it's just not for me, but I lol'd pretty hard at their "Afternoon special featuring REO Speedwagon." I just don't think that REO really belongs there. 
In my opinion, they went from Bob Dylan and The Dead to mostly electronic artist: which is cool, but it's a different taste.

I'm going to Electric Forest! I just saw some of my favs who will be there (at the Snow Ball last weekend) like Bassnectar, Big Gigantic, Pretty Lights, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Eoto, ESKMO, and Paper Diamond! Some recent artist additions to EF are Galactic and The Ragbirds! Check out the full lineup: http://www.electricforestfestival.com/
I don't think these acts are average... I personally love String Cheese Incident, Tiesto AND all the heavy BASSHEAD stuff! A vast array of acts is exactly what I want from a music festival!

I've got my ticket already!
Yeah, IDK WTF is up with Tiesto and REO Speedwagon... but otherwise I think it's a pretty sweet lineup. All your crunchiest electronic music for the night time, and then some laid back bluegrass for the daytime!
I've never seen SCI or even really listened to their stuff. My friends are super into them though, and I'm sure it'll be a fun show.
I'm really more excited about Pretty Lights, The New Deal, Emancipator, Shpongle, ESKMO, EOTO, Eliot Lipp, Bonobo DJ, Paper Diamond (Alex B), Break Science... OMFG I just realized again how fucking sick this is going to be!!
PLUS it's not being put on by evil AEG corp anymore...
See y'all there!

I am excited for Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and Big Gigantic! I just saw them all at the Snow Ball Music Festival in Avon, CO a few weekends back. They all put on a crazy ragin' show! EF is back in Rothbury this year so should be an awesome time! Check out their website for more info: http://www.electricforestfestival.com/ Peace!

The variety and wide array is what's so appealing though. There's something for everyone. The electronic kids get their fill of Bassnectar, Mimosa, EOTA, STS9, etc. and the more "traditional" festies get their String Cheese Incident, Keller Williams, and Thievery Corporation. It's a great way to bring lots of different people together for a great weekend. We all get along and learn from each other.

I am personally excited about Electric Forest. . . I haven't seen bass nectar since 2009. I never actually got to go to Rothbury but my man says it is an amazing piece of property. I have high hopes for Electric Forest 2012 http://electricforestfestival.com

I just started listening to Borgore and I find his lyrics phenomenal . . . I love the raunchy and dirty truth he tells. . .I was amped to see him on the lineup. Electric Forest is going to be amazing I will go if I am walking there by myself dragging a sleeping bag.
