A Reddit thread on r/electricforest blew up after users shared a screenshot from a new document drop that appears to show email correspondence involving Casey Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell, plus an “agency breakdown” graphic tying large portions of the Electric Forest lineup to Wasserman’s agency.
Quick context
– The post centers on an apparent 2003 email and a social graphic claiming Wasserman’s agency accounts for roughly a third of the festival’s booked artists. The original Reddit thread pulled in hundreds of comments and a lot of speculation.
What people on Reddit said
– Many users expressed anger and called for accountability; others cautioned against leaping to conclusions based on a single screenshot.
– Some commenters linked to past coverage noting a 2002 humanitarian plane trip that included Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, and reported email exchanges between Maxwell and the executive that were discussed in earlier reporting.
– A number of users pushed back on the idea that artists represented by an agency are themselves implicated — “head of the agency doesn’t mean all these artists are [guilty],” read one comment echoed by many.
Who’s named in the circulating graphic
The image shared in the thread lists “notable Wasserman artists” including (as shown in the post): Fred Again.., Travis Scott, Levity, Tape B, Skrillex, Marshmello, Subtronics, Zeds Dead, Diplo, Chase & Status, Swedish House Mafia, Rufus Du Sol, Skream, Rusko, Porter, Deathpact, Rezz, Seven Lions, Phish, Slander, Of The Trees, Dillon Francis, Charlotte de Witte, AlleyCVT, Liquid Stranger, Mersiv, John Summit, Carnage, Four Tet, Calvin Harris, Benny Benassi, Dropkick Murphys and more.
Why it matters to festival-goers
– The thread turned into a broader conversation about industry consolidation and how booking agencies shape festival lineups. For fans who follow where artists come from and how festival bills are constructed, the graphic reinforced an existing suspicion: a small number of agencies control a lot of the headliners.
– At the same time, the community debate showed people don’t want to unfairly smear artists who are simply listed on a roster.
Bottom line
This is a developing social-media thread based on leaked documents and third‑party graphics — not a finished legal finding. If you care about accountability in the music industry, the post is worth watching, but treat screenshots and claims with healthy skepticism until journalists or official sources confirm details.
We’ll keep an eye on updates and any reporting that verifies the documents referenced in the thread. Source: r/electricforest (user-submitted screenshots and discussion).
