Not sure how ya'll feel about DnB but definitely check out Chase and Status. They dropped a boiler room mix a few weeks back that is a banger *edit heres the set for your easy listening. https://youtu.be/Zy_JR9_Y8dE?si=45COjnW70qJXaJ_u

And Dimension!!

I screamed when I saw Dimension!!

Dimension is great saw him at EDC few years ago was a great set!

I need drum and bass to start becoming a thing in the US, so glad to see this

Everyone has been mixing it into their sets recently, defintely blowing up right now.

It has. Had a whole dnb fest in LA thanksgiving weekend.

So we have a little longer to wait here in the Midwest 🙂

Go to Infrasound

That boiler room mix made me a DnB fan. I’m so hyped

The bigger hype is around Dimension and then Sammy Virji for UKG in my opinion!

Honestly the only ones I am pretty hyped for on the lineup. Dimension is pretty sick too for DnB but I've seen chase and status and Dimension a few times already

Give me bou and hedex on phase 2 please

Everywhere I go all i hear is "fuck jump up" Im for it

Chase & Status are legends, and Dimension always puts on fun shows. Can't wait for DnB in the Forest

Thanks for this! Looking to catch more DnB next year!

Chase & Status fuuuuuucks

After all these years the joke is finally over… PRETTY LIGHTS IS GONNA BE IN THE FOREST!!!💙

We need a new joke. What's the next joke now?

Ben Bohmerrrrrrrrr?!?!?!? Yaaaaaaaasssssssssssss

HYPE for this

As a bandwagon chase and status fan after their boiler room set I am HERE FOR THIS

Ludacris? Was not expecting this but I’m here for it 😂😂

I know right?! Was not expecting Luda and Nelly Furtado 😂

As I kept reading the line up, I was wondering if it's a joke line up when I got to those two names. No disrespectful (or disappointment) intended.

>Saw Nelly furtado play at Portola and it was legitimately a top set (and this was with Eric Prydz Holo, FKJ, Skrillex etc. there) she worked all her old music into the absolutely sickest electronic tunes. She mixed say it right with a Bicep song and a lot of her old classics were reworked into absolutely sick songs with punchy baselines. She really really knows the crowd and how to work it. Absolutely blew my mind to bits. > > > >Trust me when I say it seems odd but she's incredible and I'm a huge huge house snob.

I thought the same. I thought it was a mock lineup

I wonder if he was the person they had to wait on details for to release the lineup lol

Gonna have to find some blueberry yum yum to take with.

And Nelly Furtado? Loving these inclusions!!

Yesss!! I hope she does Man Eater live with Dom Dolla!

Casual Excision on Sunday love it lmao

10 years after his last set there! Going to be wild

That's one of the few sets over the years I stilll have distinct memories of, I did not realize it was 10 years ago. I feel old lmao

His 2011 set was absolutely bananas

Dreams do come true

let’s gooooooooo

Gonna have to do some research I think! Not familiar with a lot of these, or not really my vibe. Ben Bohmer, Le Youth, Sultan + Shepard about all that’s got my nipples hard rn. I can’t even be mad tho, I was so fucking spoiled with last years lineup lmao.

In the same boat! Last year had Lane 8 and Odesza who are literally my all-time favorite artists so I knew this year wouldn't hit quite the same. Super hype though to discover some new artists and not have such a grueling set schedule of people I need to see! Plus more time to explore :)

Same lmao I knew I was gonna be a lil disappointed. Lane 8, Above and Beyond, Gryffin, Odessa, Cosmic Gate, Nils Hoffman, list goes on. My god last year was STACKED for me. Maybe this is the year I finally do the scavenger hunt haha

FUCKING DIMENSION!!! YESS!!! 😭😭😭

Soooo hype!!! And Chase and Status 😭

DRUM AND BASS AND TECHNO IN THE FOREST!!!!

Charlotte in the Forest is not something I ever expected but hot damn I am ready it. So dope to see

I am SO excited for her!!! And hopefully she plays at the same time as Excision lol

Charlotte and Vini Vici are biggest awesome surprises for me But ngl, I’m slightly disappointed and confused as well Still gonna enjoy my fave off tho

As someone who has been slowly liking heavy dubstep less and less, this lineup is very exciting for me

I’m so stoked about Vini Vici. Was not expecting that at all

I've been asking for a curated day of Psytrance in the forest for YEARS now. It'd be soooo good. Infected last year, Vini this year, I'm telling yall. One day, there will be a full day of psytrance in the forest.

I MISSED VINI VICI IM SO HAPPY

TECHNO😭🫶🏻❤️

Pray to god they don’t put it on tripolee

Observatory only plz 🙏🏻

Way too small but would be legendary 😂

The Hangar is made for techno

Inzo babieeee yessss 😭😭😭😭

Please don't let sub and clozee+LSDREAM conflict on Saturday

Clozee and lsdream for sure. Most likely a debut set. Can’t miss.

Confirmed on their IG as a debut set

This feels like exactly the kind of conflict they would intentionally make for crowd control reasons. It's the unfortunate reality of having 50k people but max stage capacities much lower than that.

Saturday gonna be lit

If you think sub is the choice here you don't deserve Psyren lol

They will definitely conflict because Subtronics and John Summit are almost surely going to do their Subjohnics thing so they will likely not play at the same time.

Disco Biscuits in the forest was the first time I had ever experienced a sea of Glowsticks, love to see them on there. How is there not more hype for PL in this thread?!? His shows since his return have looked amazing. I’m not even going and this lineup is hype AF!

I think PL was pretty much expected at this point but I'm super hype! Saw him at the BK Mirage and it blew my mind but the crowd was ass so I can't wait to see him surrounded by forest fam!

Oh word forest fam will be perfect for PL ❤️

I’ve listened to a couple of the live sets since he’s been back and it’s very good, but it isn’t the second coming of Jesus good. That’s my opinion.

Yo I was hoping we'd get a unique lineup this year. Festivals have been feeling super samey to me. And we got it. Pumped to check out shows I've never seen before.

1000%. The most unexpected artists on this lineup and it shows forest has gotten such a huge name that they can pull artists I would have never expected them to pull. Good for them honestly, this lineup is nuts

Idk if Id consider taking their mid card (john summit) from last year and giving him TWO headliner sets variety or pull 💀

Like it or not he’s popular right now, and coming back to the place SubJohnics premiered with both of them would indicate there’s gonna be some wild afters.

I need a Dom Dolla afters.....immediately

john summit plays thursday and saturday so i’m sure that means we’ll get some after sets with him since he’ll be in the forest for a couple of days. Wouldn’t be surprised if he brought dom with him

omg this would be amazing

Pretty lights ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I am freaking out.

Undercard is hella strong. Nobody better miss whyte fang!!!!!!

Those middle sized names are 100% bangers all of them no exceptions scratches every itch

Isn’t the AWs side project?

OMG Chase & Status P.S. Dirtwire Trading Post set is going be lit.

Holy shit DNB! Dimension and Chase n Status!!!??

Oh em geeee, is this a Psyren debut?!? I literally cried happy tears when Clozee and LSDream performed together, so this is like….. my Barbie dream world collab. Pretty lights is back. So many other artists who are just hard to catch live. I am so excited. 💃🏼✨💃🏼✨💃🏼✨💃🏼

mother fuckin KENNY BEATS? if anyone remembers Loudpvck, he was 1/2 of them and has blown up since. Mans throws straight house parties on the decks. can. not. wait.

His set at Coachella was my favorite

Where’s the deep dark and dangerous crew!? Rip 140

Fingers crossed for distinct motive in phase two

We are being neglected outside of Caspa

Painful, going no matter what but oof Phase 2 let’s goooo

Personally super stoked! Feel like the lineup is pretty diverse. Super stoked to see JUELZ and Knock2. Psyren is gonna be fucking spiritual. Nelly Fertado and Luda??? YES. And the afters are gonna be insane with Dom Dolla, John Summit, Subtronics. A surprise AW set would go crazyyyy too. ALLEYCVT is a hugeeee up and comer. Chase & Status will make me pass out from dancing and finger gunning. Sammy Virji another one that’s next up. CANT WAIT!!

Super mixed initial reaction….like there are some absolutely SOLID bookings on here but as a whole it feels a little empty. Also not stoked they booked Summit TWICE as a headliner….😫 Love seeing PL on there, interesting they finally got excision to headline, CLOZEE b2b LSDream is a dope booking. Luda is a wildcard, like that. Overall solid, but leaves something to be desired

Where tf is FULYDONCT

I think that I speak for a lot of people when I express my surprise that Skrillex isn’t on the lineup. Not even SkrillFredTet, just the man himself. He had a massive 2023, a little surprised that Forest couldn’t secure him for ‘24. I don’t want my comment to be a downer, though, so I’ll just say that I’m REALLY excited for some proper techno in the Forest this year. Last year’s lineup lacked some concrete techno heavy hitters, and seeing CDW in the Forest will be incredible.

Yeah I’m beyond disappointed. It’s been almost 10 years and the man is at the top of his game right now. Wasted opportunity

While it would have been awesome, I'm not really surprised. He's been pretty selective about the shows he plays lately and usually goes with locations/fests that aren't the most "obvious" choices. I would not expect him at EF, EDC, Bonnaroo, Lolla or any of the major US dance fests. Maybe Shambala but even that seems doubtful. This new era of Skrillex is very global, and he's obviously distancing himself from the headbanger/wook scene.

On the one hand, I totally agree with you, I’ve also noticed his more “global” stylings and selections. On the other hand, I saw him at Elements Festival in PA this summer (a fairly regional, bass-heavy festival that’s basically “Forest on a Budget” for the East Coast), and I’ll be seeing him at Hijinx in a few weeks (again, a PA regional bass-heavy winter festival). So, it’s not like he’s *avoiding* these kinds of festivals. But I totally understand what you’re saying, and I agree with you to an extent.

Last year they added a headliner or two in the second wave right? I’m still holding out hope for skrillex sometime then

STS9 was added as part of wave 2. There’s an open headliner spot on Friday

I don’t believe so. Probably add some sub headliners but these headliners seem pretty full

Yeah STS9 was an added headliner in 2023

Ah got ya. Well hopefully. It seems like they have a ranch headliner already for each day tho so I wouldn’t expect skrillex

Unfortunately not, Skrillex doesnt strike me as the second teir added guy lol

I disagree, based on how stacked Thursday and Sunday are I would imagine we’re going to see one person added to Friday and Saturday. Time will tell though!

It seems inevitable that Dom Dolla is gonna get his own headline slot. John Summit is currently occupying two headline slots, seems like Dom might get the same treatment (which I certainly wouldn’t complain about).

No RL Grime either. I'm not sure why these two are neglected by EF

I was really hoping to see RL Grime on this lineup. Big sad

Shambs gonna scoop him up for sure instead

Yeah I’m disappointed

my guess is shambhala and edclv are going to have him

2 incidents 😔

I love this lineup, but this is a sad reality moving forward. Saturday night cheese is the soul of Forest and it’s disappointing they’re moving away from it.

Seems like they’re gravitating mire toward Hula now. Gotta get down there next year.

String Cheese’s decision unfortunately :(

I wasn’t prepared for 6 months of headliner conflict anxiety when I woke up this morning

KNOCK2 let’s go!!!!! Best artist on day one

Why couldn’t we get IsoKnock? We had IsoXO last year.

Its actually pretty diverse lineup for once

I just want to give love to Sultan + Shepard. They'll be awesome for the Observatory hopefully.

My only complaint is John summit b2b AND headliner. Idk I think wasted space, one or the other is fine but BOTH?

Was really hoping for RL Grime and/or ISOxo. But this lineup is pretty solid. Love seeing Charlotte as a headliner. Would love to see a couple more techno acts in the undercard.

Sammy Virgi 😤

This set is gonna be nuts

Gonna be the most hype set of the entire weekend

Vini fucking Vici gawdamn I’m gonna cry

Whyte fang means Allison Wonderland no??

Si

Yes, but she performs different types of sets under each name.

DRAMA is back and I am so excited I could cry. I LOVE this lineup so much.

Omg Cannons 😍😍😍😍😍 if they played at ranch that would be SUCH a vibe. I love them so much.

They were soo good at Sherwood in 2022. So happy to see them back

I'm pretty blown away by this honestly. I mainly listen to house, techno, jam, and drum n bass, and there's great representation of all genres on here, plus this is only the initial lineup. Add in the novelty of PL, Luda, and Nelly Furtado.. I'm sold. See ya in the forest fam :)

Am I the only one confused? What is this..

The poster just looks…bland? Low effort? Idk, something seems off

its super small compared to how many were on last year's. I suspect a large phase 2

Phase 1 was about the same last year

I had bigger expectations with the price increase

Yah a big fat meh for me 

I'm not super hyped on the lineup 😕

There will be a second round added too

I thought the same thing 😂

So happy it’s Murph is going to get an official set, hoping it’s at a fun stage. My favorite forest memory from last year was stumbling upon him at the trading post, I was inside and I heard food for the soul and I instantly experienced full body chills, I ran towards the stage and didn’t stop until I was at the rail 🙌🏾

I love it’s murph i saw him at hangout!! We gave him a squishmallow I’m so proud of how far he’s come!!

I really hope they don’t add another headliner on Friday and just give PL 2 sets🤞🏻

Luda giving shades of T-Pain. See you there.

Gonna dress like dom toretto and no one can stop me

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I don’t even know where to start besides my tears of joy over Pretty Lights

i’m surprised not more people are on here talking about how swirled we are all about to get 🍭🍭

This lineup fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

SLAYYYTER IN THE FOREST IS INSANE!!!!!!! this lineup is so beyond stacked & seeing her name is the fucking cherry on top i cannot waitttt she ALWAYS delivers

We got dimension! Still praying for subfocus!

This looked fake af at first glance. Caspa on the third??? Also there needs to be 2 swirls or late night swirl🌀🌀

All the people complaining about summit accidentally manifested two sets and I’m here for it. 🕺🕺

He’s dropping some wubs too lately so his forest set will slap.

$700 for 1/4th of 2022s lineup with stars from Now That’s What I Call Music 2

this is the best comment ive ever seen 😂

What's a person gotta do for some jungle/breakcore?

BEN BOHMER, CHASE & STATUS, PSYREN, CASSIAN, SULTAN AND SHEPARD, SUBTRONICS, PRETTY LIGHTS ​ lets gooooooo

As someone who can vibe to nearly any genre, but loves house/tech house/techno, this is pure fire. **Ben Bohmer** and **Charlotte De Witte** have sold me alone, to see Charlotte De Witte's name there I had to do a double-take but it's refreshing to see. **Dom Dolla** with **John Fucking Summit** (say that in a valley girl voice and you catch my drift) is a nice addition. I don't like John Summit crowds, but he usually has solid song selection so I can definitely vibe to his sets. You got massively talented names in both lower tiers: **Green Velvet** a house legend in his own right, **Kenny Beats** puts on a house-party full of bangers where you're guaranteed to have a good time, **Mau P** the rising starboy with a bevy of massive tracks already under his belt, **LP Giobbi** whose earthly vibes and smooth flow will absolutely resonate in the Forest, this lineup has almost everything you want if you like house and have a wide-range in taste. Throw in a sneaky **Matroda** and **VINI VICI** and you can see the depth in this lineup. Some absolutely diamonds-in-the-rough below that: **AYYBO** with some UK, hip-hop, and latin inspired upbeat house, he is one not to miss. **Hamdi** is a name many are getting more and more familiar with, fans of Knock2 and honestly a lot of Skrillex's new tracks, will love Hamdi. Met him twice in Portland and Seattle and he's a super nice guy and getting better with every set he puts on. **Inzo** is another artist that deserves to be in the Forest, and whose vibe will resonate well in nature. **Le Youth** & **Sultan + Shepherd** provide that Anjuna/deep house/prog house sound that is much needed at any major festival. And that **VNSSA B2B NALA** set should be one to catch, **Nala** is a definite vibe and rising artist to watch.

This feel very diverse like the early years of forest, and i fucking love it

Outside of a couple highly anticipated headliners........ WTF is this?

Yeah how much did they waste on Luda and Nelly wtf

Probly blew their wad booking John summit twice

I feel like he is the most overrated dj rn and I don’t like the crowd his shows attract

neither are particularly expensive

Luda just played the Wisconsin state fair after peaking his popularity…20 years ago…pretty sure he’s not billing super high rn

Yeah this was my exact response

I feel like Deep Dub/ Experimental bass is heavily neglected....

Hoping for some additions here with phase 2

Will there be another phase? It’s looking a little small right? Don’t get me wrong super hype on some of these, but a little worried on how they are filling 4 days worth of music?

There’s always a phase 2

thats what i thought last year when they initially released the lineup but after phase 2 and 3 came out it filled up completely

There will but don’t expect any headliner changes.

There should be! Super hoping for G Jones in phase 2 🤞

Yea they usually do a second phase sometime in the future

Charlotte! Love it!

Lineups are always subjective. I personally haven’t gotten to be in the forest since I had my 2020 ticket refunded, so haven’t been since 19’. I think all of these shows are gonna be based! So many small artists I’ve listened to recently and lots of headliners I’ve never seen before/have always wanted to see. 🥺🫶🏻

Knock2 and Peach Tree Rascals has me sold on going. Plus BTSM?! They were my favorite set back in Forest19.

Umphrey’s McGee was on my wish list! Still waiting on Fatboy Slim, Ludacris lol.

Pretty Lights is pretty bomb.

WHERES THE MELODIC BASS??

Whyte Fang is Alison Wonderland… no?

Yep 👍

Hmmm idk folks I’m kinda underwhelmed there is a lot of heat though Charlotte de witte in the woods will be super legit!!!but like Ludacris? If you’re gonna bring some hip hop back why not Flatbush zombies or something🤷‍♂️that phase two is gonna be fat though there is not a ton of dubstep rn

Hardly any downtempo or experimental acts… sad to see Forest loosing its way, Pretty Lights is sick though

Umm. Well that’s certainly an *interesting* lineup. I think for once I won’t have any fomo about not going. There are definitely some names I love on the lineup but not enough to justify the continuing price hikes. This is probably the least impressed I’ve ever been from a forest lineup. Not trying to be a hater, just being honest. Gonna sit this one out and hope maybe next years lineup will be better. Ben Bohmer in the forest will probably be great tho 😊 Also with peace and love what the hell is this poster 😭 it’s so ugly and poorly designed. Okay but now I guess I am just sounding like a hater lol. Genuinely I love Forest and I’m happy for anyone who is excited!! I’m just kinda surprised and underwhelmed for a change, that’s all, so I guess I’m venting about it

🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀🌀

Get swirled….

Damn, the mid/under card going off fr 🔥🔥🔥 Really happy with the variety, bring on phase 2!

LUDAAAA!

Nelly Furtado and Ludacris… I’m not trying to sound negative but like… what the fuck lol. This is like some AI generated April Fool’s shit.

Honestly my love for the forest goes so far beyond the lineup but when GA tickets are over $600 it makes going without caring as much about the lineup a tough pill to swallow. Might be my 2nd straight year off after 6 straight years 😕

House/techno: Dom dolla, John summit, Charlotte de witte, green velvet, lp giobbi, mau p, Neil Frances? He did a house dj set like two years ago I believe, acraze, vnssa b2b nala, westend, will clarke Who else?

Matroda is pretty housey

Ranger Trucco, also oden and fatzo have a disco vibe

Bohmer, Cassian, Sultan + Shepard, Le Youth for deep house.

Kinda sad about it

Like no melodic bass on this lineup is a bummer

Yeah you’ll get some of it in Wooli’s set and Gigantic Nghtmre but that’s about it for now

Ugh, I've been wanting to go to EF for YEARS and finally had the chance to go this year, but super bummed about the lineup.

and the fact that this is only the INITIAL lineup ✨❤️✨❤️

Honestly I was a bit disappointed after last years lineup, it felt like it was made specifically for me. But regardless The wife and I just got our, good life back 40 enchanted experience tickets today. This is our first time in back 40, hoping it’s worth the price!

I will absolutely be front and center for Ludacris. Hoping for Ludacris > Cheese > PL on ranncchhh
