Last year there was tickets at the gate. They are expanding the camping area this year thank god so it shouldn't sell out.
I didn't encounter any assholes, but I also haven't gone every year. The only assholes were at Bassnectar if anything.
The forest is the place to be.. I love smaller festis but as for big ones, this is the one to be at. Who do you guys wanna see? For headliners Furthur or Ratdog would be sweet The Chemical Brothers would blow my fuckin mind! hologram Christopher Wallace! and Jerry Garcia! obviously SCI, STS9, and Big Gigantic Phish and Widespread Panic would be nice too no Bassnectar this year so im guessing Pretty Lights will be there the full Shpongle band would be fucking amazing. Amon Tobin would be interesting and EOTO i would love to see the full Big Grizmatik team do a set, they almost did it last year for the TBA secret forest set., Pizza party with Steve Jacobs and Nit Grit, connie hawkins and tennis rodman. pagodah would be cool too. other smaller artists i wold like to see are papadosio, future rock, sovereign sect, steez, wook, the coop, the werks, bluetech, skytree, ott and the all seeing eye, zebbler enchanti experience, beats antique, Lotus, Infected Mushroom, Elliot Lipp, ±ṪHE ƦξVЁR∑NƉ BLEEⱣ BLOO₱, Snubluck, Mile High Sound Movement, freddy todd, figure, minnesota, yheti, g jones, +verb, trill murray, subsugar,tree, grimeatron, intellitard, panty raid, chuckwayne, 6blocc, atomic reactor, paper diamond, mimosa, heyoka, eskmo, psymbionic, boggtrotter, smilodon, unlimited gravity, crushendo, cloud-d, digital connection, billy blacklight the profresher, enron hubbard, papa skunk, crizzly, sugarpill, robotic pirate monkey, prophet massive, zeds dead, and the list goes on...

Personally I love the looks of this lineup. A little more dubstep like borgore, datsik, nit grit, mimosa, etc. and some more EDM like steve aoki and paper diamond, my summer will be made. Oh, and here's a playlist with most if not all the artists (from phase 1 of the lineup) in it: http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/Electric+Forest+2013/82818121
I like the lineup because it's not as much dubstep, especially the headliners. Pretty Lights is not dubstep in my book.
I think Pretty Lights is far from dubstep to be honest. You like the trap they're going to be bringing this year? I never got into it until the forest announced it's lineup and I did some research on RL Grime, Bauuer, Nick Catchdubs, etc. and I like the shit out of it! So pumped...can't wait to be all and so on.
is it easy to bring weed into the forest? and what would be the best way you guys think for staying there? would hotel be good Idea? or just do tents in the camp ground? I'm just worried about the tent thing and my stuff getting stolen?
I am always trying to attend the music function all the time.And I enjoyed the moment of the music function. It's really changed my way of thinking...
yeah its very easy. at the entrance to the camping grounds they half ass search your car pretty much looking for nitrous or people stupid enough to leave there drugs out in the open. then to get into the festival grounds they pat down your pockets chest back and sides. so its best to have hidden pockets or a pouch inside your shorts. ive walked through with a bag of weed and a pipe in the same hand as my cellphone and hat, holding my hands above my head as they pat me down and they dont even pay attention to whats in your hand. and MI is medical so they really dont care about people smoking weed in the first place. you gotta camp though. its part of the experience..you get to camp next to your car so you just keep anything you dont want stolen locked in the car. i camp with around 8-15 other people i know. so usually theres always someone at camp too.

Im thinkin if goin to this..from NJ. Renting a cat in detroit then a little 250+mi drive aint bad. Though me thinks That road trip from Jersey would allow me to bring y own weed. Edit : Grand Rapids is closet.
dafuk? readjustidid? where can i rent a cat? they don't allow animals in unless its a registered service dog.
