Reddit Thread Sparks Electric Forest Lineup Hype
One r/electricforest user opened a hype thread asking fans to drop their wants — realistic or dream — for headliners, midcards and undercards. Their plan: build a fake lineup from responses and check it against the official announcement in roughly a month.
The thread is doing what these communities do best: mixing thoughtful wishlist picks, sleeper-artist shouts and a fair share of shitposts. It’s less about breaking news and more about mood-checking the fanbase and seeing who trends as a sleeper favorite.
- Dream headliners — big-name, longshot asks and nostalgia bookings
- Realistic midcards — acts fans expect will actually land
- Undercard sleepers — local gems and breakout artists people want to see
- Late-night/DJ picks — the tops of many Electric Forest wishlists
Why it matters: these community-built wishlists are a quick snapshot of buzz and anticipation. The Redditor’s fake lineup will be a fun accuracy test — and a reminder that lineup season is as much about the fans as it is about the bookers.
We’ll be watching the thread and the follow-up fake lineup — and we’ll compare it to the official Electric Forest reveal when it drops. Consider this your heads-up: lineup season is officially underway.
