What were hearing
A person who spoke with a carpenter connected to Electric Forest says organizers are planning an upgrade to the Honeycomb stage this year. The changes are said to be aimed at reducing crowding and improving flow around the stage during peak sets.
Why it matters
- Better crowd dispersion around one of the festivals most popular stages
- Shorter bottlenecks during headline transitions and peak traffic
- Potential improvements to sightlines, safety and movement for attendees
The Honeycomb has long been a major draw at Forest events — and a known congestion point. If these upgrades move forward this year they could noticeably improve the live experience for many attendees. Were watching for an official announcement from festival organizers and will update the wire with details as they surface.
