ROTHBURY, MICHIGAN — The Electric Forest 2015 lineup has arrived! And it’s loaded with heavy hitters including The String Cheese Incident, Bassnectar, Skrillex, Kaskade, Flume, Big Gigantic and more!

As we all know, it can be rather intimidating trying to find new music on festival lineups. You see a band or artist name that catches your attention and you think, “Oh, that sounds like an awesome time!” Until it turns out that it’s actually an a capella group (this has happened to me in the past).
