Electric Forest festival announced Tuesday (April 21) that the 2020 edition will be canceled, due to “input from state and local authorities regarding public gatherings amid the COVID-19 pandemic,” according to a statement.
The 2020 event was set to feature Bassnectar (above), the String Cheese Incident, Big Gigantic and many more.
The annual music and camping festival was scheduled to celebrate its 10th anniversary June 25-28, 2020 in Rothbury, Michigan. Tickets for the 2020 event sold out within one hour last December.
Ticket holders will be able to get a refund or keep their tickets, which will be honored at the 2021 Decade One event.
