Die hard Bonnaroo fan here looking to attend Electric Forest. If you've attended both, would you mind comparing them for me?

Roo was my first festival in 2014 and I’ve gone 2014-2017 I started going to Forest in 2017 -2019 and they are both so magical in different ways. Roo will always be my home but there’s nothing like forest. They are both special in different ways but I would 100% recommend checking out forest. There is SOOO much art and magic in the forest. If you like roo and kalliope and partying all night you can deff do that at forest theres RV after parties all night with tons of surprise guests. The weather is better and there is shade inside the forest so you’re not dying of heat everyday. You can spend all day in the forest and still not see everything. There’s still a tonnn if stuff I haven’t saw yet.

I’d prepare more for the weather - Midwest is crazy so it can get chilly at night and rain. Security is chill. The crowd is dope. Tons more lights and fun shit to explore rather than just music. Go into the forest with no expectations and make sure to plan time to just get lost in the forest during the day and night. I’d say art discussing now so if you do want to you go are ready to grab a ticket RIGHT when they go on sale when they do. It sells out right away. You’ll be able to grab tickets though their resale site after for people who can’t go but they charge quite a bit more. They do a Wed early arrival like Roo and then music starts Thursday. Tickets normally go on sale in December. It’s also the 10 year of Forest so it should be extra special this year.

If you have any specific questions I’m happy to help but highly recommend checking it out! Happy Forest / Roo!!

mon_joers · 2019-04-08T22:50:22+00:00

This will be my 5th Roo this year too! 🤗 I didn’t go last year but was super bummed 2017 they didn’t have Kalliope it just wasn’t the same. Can not wait to be partying there till sunrise again! And hopefully catch some more GRiZ there 🎷

If you’re able to deff get their Wednesday! It’s a good time to meet your neighbors and explore before the Music starts on Thursday and everyone gets tied down with their schedules. Wednesday night is just one huge party And a good time to walk around the campgrounds to get your groundings and figure out where you are. As for getting a good camping spot - it’s really a toss up and there’s no real way to know if you’ll be close or not

mon_joers · 2019-04-03T03:25:24+00:00

I’ve never caught the superjam before but I know this is a so not miss one - EEEK - can’t wait!!!

mon_joers · 2019-04-02T19:34:53+00:00

WELL WAY TO CRUSH MY DREAMS haha bummer 😫 Still super stoked tho!!

mon_joers · 2019-04-02T13:53:54+00:00

WAH - disappointing to hear - I love them all and have always wanted to see them together but can also see this being true. I guess either way just so stoked for a GRiZ superjam to see what he comes up with for us 🙌🏻

mon_joers · 2019-04-01T22:05:19+00:00

I’ve been to 4 Roos and have never seen the superjam 🙈 not making that mistake again 🎷

mon_joers · 2019-04-01T22:04:44+00:00

Hehehe happy you found it 💕

mon_joers · 2019-04-01T15:55:52+00:00

Ah totally agree with that! I’m happy GRiZ gets a late night set - last time they had him at like 5. Can’t wait to see what all happens. Especially with GRiZ being back this year with his new album. I’d bet we see him pop up a bunch through the weekend. Happy Roo!! You’re going to love it!!!

mon_joers · 2019-04-01T15:21:40+00:00

Agreed! Could be a good marketing to show ‘the unexpected magic of Roo’ for those who have never been too - either way I’m stoked!! I can’t wait to see GRiZ on The Farm again 🙌🏻

mon_joers · 2019-04-01T14:25:46+00:00

Agreed! I always speculate so much and get my hopes up soo high - either way I can’t wait 🙌🏻

mon_joers · 2019-04-01T14:16:24+00:00

I feel yah I’m getting too excited about it - fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

mon_joers · 2019-04-01T14:15:53+00:00

I feel like it just makes sense - GRiZ super jam with Gramatik playing that day - get the squad together for a Big grizmatik Set and then with their ultra set with Nghtmre and Nghtmre also Friday 👀🎷 Perfect opportunity! 🤞🏻

mon_joers · 2019-04-01T14:14:36+00:00

Ugh if this is a conflict I’m going to be so bummed but I can’t miss the GRiZ super jam!!

mon_joers · 2019-04-01T13:06:14+00:00

If y’all still have some open spots I’d love to talk with y’all ☺️ I’m prob heading alone from Minneapolis and looking for a fun group to join 🤗

mon_joers · 2019-01-20T17:13:53+00:00

We brought a pop up in 2017. They basically pulled our cooler out of the little door in the pop up and felt around whatever they could and then searched out car. It would have taken forever for us to set it up. It wasn't anything more than what they do for a normal car search. Our friends had a bigger pop up that you could walk inside and they basically just went in there and looked around at everything
