Electric Forest 2024 in Rothbury, Michigan, delivered a complex weekend marked by severe weather and strong community resilience. From June 20-23, thunderstorms forced evacuations on Saturday and Sunday nights, leading to the cancellation of critical performances, including headliner Excision’s set.
Organizers prioritized safety by urging festival-goers to shelter in vehicles during incoming storms. Despite these interruptions, the festival spirit persisted—attendees shared stories and photos of early morning sunrises, vibrant nighttime scenes, and art installations that kept the magic alive.
A highlight was the Carousel Club’s SUNDAY PRIDE takeover featuring Only Fire, Slayyyter, Shaun Ross, LP Giobbi, and Will Clarke, reinforcing Electric Forest’s commitment to inclusivity and community.
While the weather dampened part of the experience, Electric Forest 2024 showcased a community’s power to turn challenges into memorable moments. Attendees left energized, looking forward to next year’s renewal of this beloved event.
