If you have ever had a chance to talk to any artist that has played or is going to play Electric Forest, they talk about it with such a sense of reverie. It’s not just a magical place for attendees, but for performers as well. It’s a whole different kind of energy that permeates through the entire festival and is contagious from every single soul. It’s a beautiful feeling that I have not been able to replicate no matter how many festivals I go to.

With June officially here, that means a couple of things, the start of Summer looms around the corner but even more importantly, it is officially Electric Forest month. From June 19 – June 22, thousands of loving festival-goers will be flocking to Rothbury, Michigan in a yearly pilgrimage. To some, it’s a camping trip with friends, to others it’s a place to dance, to most it’s where they call home. The beautiful part is that all those definitions are right and there’s probably countless more.

Exactly 3 months ago, in the beginning of Winter, I wrote about Electric Forest’s 2025 intial lineup being released. It’s only fitting that as the winds of Spring start trying to sneak out, we are blessed with more additions to the 2025 edition of the festival. An eclectic phase one featured huge names like Justice, Disclosure, Louis The Child, and many more – but it only makes sense that we drop a few more in to really round out the lineup.

As Winter starts to sweep most of the U.S. and some of us need to start bundling up for the cold (editor’s note: Chicago winters make Chicago Summers the best thing in the world and I won’t hear otherwise) – the only thing that keeps some of us sane is the festival lineups that we know that we will be frolicking at come Summer time. And for those who call Electric Forest home, the daydreams of frolicking begin today.

The Inaugural Beyond Wonderland Chicago is all set to land at Chicago’s Beautiful Huntington Bank Pavilion this weekend (June 1st, and 2nd). The venue, which sits right on scenic Lake Michigan will be the perfect backdrop to an incredible music-filled weekend for all attendees. We put together some of our favorite acts that are slated to perform during Insomniac’s return to the Chicago Festival Scene this weekend to get excited.
