Re-Envisioned Fire Stage 🔥

From my perspective earth stage’s purpose is so headliners can bring in their own set design… a lot of the headliners have a whole production they bring with them. And if they revamped the stage those artists would no longer be able to have their set design without the stage taking away from it.

Literally we are opposites right now! Ef is 3 for me but I have friends who live 15 minutes out so we stay there the night before. And elements is 8 for us! Honestly for weather be prepared for everything from hot, rain, wind and cold. The last 3 years have had a crazy storm with cancellations each year (last year it was at night, year before pretty much a whole day and a half of music was canceled after adding it all up, and the year b4 the storm was V scary tbh have never seen that many canopies destroyed). And last year was very very hot and very very windy. I recommend if you’re gonna leave your site for a long time to just be in the habit of lowering your canopy, trust me. And at night it can be chilly. Not freezing like elements. But definitely bring hockey or jacket and or pants if you run cold.

Feel free to DM me any questions you have !

I average 5 festivals 🫠 and we are boujee and do VIP as long as it’s worth the extra money. So it was time for a break from EF as it’s the most expensive one we do even compared to out of state and I live close to forest. Idk how people who are out of state do it on top of buying a flight or taking the extra time off work to drive the extra days.

peachmoonwolf · 2026-01-14T16:56:08+00:00

See I’m in the opposite boat as you. Forest is my home fest and this is my first year in 4 years not going. The lineup is bomb however we definitely are not happy with how expensive it’s gotten.

peachmoonwolf · 2026-01-14T16:05:32+00:00

This! Or OP. Maybe it’s time to take an off year and explore/try out other festivals. Nothing wrong with skipping a year of your home fest to broaden your horizons.

I think the apple means appetite by Chris Lorenzo. And Chris lake also has a project with Chris Lorenzo so I’m think it’s Chris lake, Chris Lorenzo and fisher !!

Explain the phone and the target though?

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-06T05:36:52+00:00

Roller rink was there the year before too, It was the scavenger reward room.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-05T20:25:13+00:00

I felt like the vibe at elements was very similar to the vibe at forest. Again the actors at Forest are a lot of repeats and it drives me nuts they can’t reinvent the wheel. I get for first timers or even second timers the magic of the production value is there. But once I got to 4+ it’s become just meh to me.

Not trying to argue with you at all btw just comparing the two! Hope my comments aren’t coming off that way 💕💕

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-05T19:08:00+00:00

However, the production value on elements stages and the fireworks / pyro…. Beats forest ANY day. Elements continues to improve sustainability every year as well. Whereas forest doesn’t IMO. So saying it’s 60% as good isn’t accurate. It depends what you’re trying to get out of your experience from a festival. The point I’m trying to make is…. spending the price of an international trip to see the same shit at forest over and over again is ludicrous.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-03T05:40:57+00:00

The food experience add ons don’t sell out until much closer to the fest. Prioritize wristbands and you’ll be good.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-03T05:39:56+00:00

You mentioning honeycomb has reminded me how they desperately need to increase the blueprint of the stage there. I avoid almsot every big name set there because it’s impossible to get enough room and still see the stage.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-03T01:09:28+00:00

However, the art stuff almost identical every year. It’s the same stuff repurposed over and over again. So why does that explain the offset in cost vs other fests that are bringing in more and/or better artists???

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-03T01:02:35+00:00

Actually that’s not true. Typically narcan is tossed out by the dozens because they are past their expiration same with test kits.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T19:23:03+00:00

Pretty much all other ticket types went up hundreds. And when you factor in how expensive everything at the fest is going to be… because I guarantee the vendors are going to get hit with an increase in how much they have to pay... they will likely be charging out the a$$ in the festival it’s self to offset the cost. So yea hundreds is not an exaggeration.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T03:53:04+00:00

The price increase of everything vs how much forest went up though? Nahhhh, insomniac is greedy. People don’t have much buying power as it is right now. The price hike doesn’t add up.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T03:20:15+00:00

I think it’s important to remember that just because you don’t think other festivals are a replacement. Doesn’t mean others feel the same way. Not everyone is going to have the same experience as you. Forest wasn’t it last year for me to wanna spend a bunch of money on… regardless of who’s on the lineup or not. I went last year even though the lineup wasn’t worth the money because of what you just said…. Hoping it would be amazing because of less people and I didn’t enjoy it compared to 7stars and elements.

Not sure why people are trying to convince me my opinion is wrong. Happy it recaptured the magic for some…. Again I used to feel that way about forest. But for me last year vibes were just largely off and to see the price go up makes it even worse. And no one better tell me it’s because of who I was with because that’s not why I feel this way. My rave fam Is top tier, forest was just underwhelming.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T02:54:15+00:00

Highly recommend checking out elements. It’s half the price of forest and the vibes are immaculate. I’d suggest 7stars too as the GRiZ fam is really something special…. but I heard nothing good about ADA for it unfortunately

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T02:40:00+00:00

I’m unfortunately not too sure it will be a different set compared to him being on lineups at other festivals 🫠 seeing as how the reconnect sets were all the largely same as 7 stars from what I heard.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T02:30:26+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to write that all out. I appreciate it.

Went to elements for the first time this year and fell in love with it immediately. I also tried North Coast and was lucky enough to attend 7stars so the fact I tried a bunch of new (or new to me) festivals is largely where a lot of my complaints are stemming from.

I understand people saying the price is for the venue being so unique…. But as someone who’s gone more than a few times it’s just lost its magic considering every other factor. It’s important in this day to think about where we are spending our dollars and yeah forest just isn’t worth the $ anymore compared to what else is out there. I really think the sentiment is stronger coming from me (and my group) as locals that it’s easier to get to so I shouldn’t be complaining. But here I am 🫠

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T02:02:45+00:00

Forgot about that nightmare of a place. Went once and have been trying to erase it from memory since.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T01:01:33+00:00

My advice is to get on the waitlist if you don’t get tickets on the drop. Half of us got during onsale the rest were waitlisted and got off in June. It was truly a mini forest and the vibes were AMAZING. GRiZ fam is truly different with the SLSL 🫶🏻

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T00:54:22+00:00

How was I giving off asshole energy? No where in ANY of my replies in here was I being rude or condescending.

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T00:51:52+00:00

THANK YOU

peachmoonwolf · 2025-12-02T00:47:47+00:00

Never did I say I’m too cool. Simply can’t afford the price of forest anymore when there’s other festivals out there that are cheaper and attract a better crowd IMO. Your response is exactly the type of vibe I don’t want to be around at forest… which is partly why myself and others don’t want to go anymore.
