Electric Forest Makes Official Statement After 2020 Cancellation

Earlier today, the Rothbury Village Council voted down proposed postponement dates for Electric Forest given the COVID-19 pandemic. This is the second festival (that we know of) whose September dates have not worked out in their favor, BUKU being the first.

Electric Forest has released an official statement following the decision, stating that the council is not able to approve alternate dates for this year. They are continuing to explore all options, and updates will come as soon as possible.

Obviously the teams at Insomniac and Madison House want Forest to happen this year for its 10th anniversary, and they’re going to do everything in their power to see what can be done. But in the face of a global pandemic, there’s a lot that’s not in their control.

See the full statement below.

      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
