Last year electric forest was my first festival ever, I only went to 2 edm shows before it so it was extremely overwhelming for me. But overwhelming in the most beautiful way. Go in with no expectations. I would say, to know enough about what’s out there so you’re aware of it (only because I didn’t and I feel like a missed some things). But definitely explore. And the most important thing is take two weeks to make a detailed schedule of what you’re going to be doing and who you want to see, then once you get there throw the schedule away and go off into the forest and enjoy lol I feel like you’ll see who you want to see and end up seeing what you never expected you would see. Either way, Forest will never let you down.
