A touching r/electricforest post has sparked a warm wave of support as four mid-30s friends, long juggling family and work duties, finally made it to Electric Forest 2025 with Friday 1-day passes.
Their story perfectly captures the blend of nostalgia, friendship, and the reality of adult life that resonates deeply — “making it weird” but making it happen. Fellow festivalgoers, including veteran dads in their 40s, rallied with survival tips like hydration, stretching, and sunscreen, celebrating the festival as a treasured escape from everyday grind.
Electric Forest’s day passes get major props for opening doors to those who can’t swing a full weekend, proving the festival’s scene welcomes all ages and life stages. Look out for these four “guys who look like they wandered off to Home Depot but are owning the forest vibe,” spreading dad jokes and electrolytes alike.
The 2025 Electric Forest runs June 19–22 in Rothbury, Michigan. For tickets and day pass info, head to electricforestfestival.com. This weekend just got a little more inclusive and a lot more joyful.
