Electric Forest attendees have raised alarms following reports on r/electricforest that multiple people accessed certain festival lockers, with at least one user’s items stolen and later returned by the culprit. The incident has stirred worry within the community, as lockers are essential for safely storing personal belongings during the event.
Fans are voicing frustration and urging festival organizers and locker providers to quickly address potential security vulnerabilities. Some festivalgoers are reconsidering locker rentals amid these concerns, though many hope this is an isolated occurrence.
In response, Electric Forest has historically implemented robust security measures, including a strong law enforcement presence (Michigan State Police, local agencies, FBI cooperation, and K9 units specialized in firearm detection) to safeguard festival grounds. Lockers come with mobile charging packs and have rental options spanning single-day to full 4-day weekend use, with overnight storage allowed only for weekend rentals.
Organizers emphasize vigilance and encourage attendees to report any suspicious behavior immediately. Continuous updates and reassurances from Electric Forest’s security team are expected to restore attendee confidence heading into the festival.
