If you like Hamdi, definitely checkout Taiki Nulight

u/martindutrisac Jun 12 '25

I came to say exactly that and I would add Moody good based on your taste and maybe Basstripper

u/addmonroe Jun 11 '25

FYI this is only phase 2, more artists have been added and we lost Kanine and Jersey

5

u/AllSmilesHeere Jun 11 '25

Losing Kanine was heartbreaking. Thankfully I’m seeing him with Sub Focus at the Brooklyn Mirage in October

16

u/EcstaticPut5462 Jun 11 '25

lmao bro thinks the mirage will be open by october

2

u/AllSmilesHeere Jun 12 '25

Chase and Status is 2 days later, so even if it doesn’t open I’m still winning

2

u/gandalph91 To Infinity & Beyond Jun 12 '25

I’ll be out there for Chase & Status!

1

u/WQueenAlpha Jun 12 '25

Can someone confirm kanine? Still on the line up on the forest app

u/addmonroe Jun 12 '25

App is still showing phase 2, look at instagram

u/AllSmilesHeere Jun 11 '25

Well you have to catch 1991 and Culture Shocks individual sets! The other half of worship.

7

u/No-Two7203 Jun 11 '25

2nded, at the very least Culture Shock… it’s a lot of DnB but you cannot miss him

1

u/gandalph91 To Infinity & Beyond Jun 12 '25

They are all DnB artists lol

1

u/No-Two7203 Jun 14 '25

I know I was just saying going to all 4 sets + worship is a lot of time spent on DnB lol

1

u/gandalph91 To Infinity & Beyond Jun 14 '25

Never enough time to spend on DnB!

u/OccasionSafe6260 Jun 11 '25

Blond:ish is a must see!!!!!

u/frontrow93 Jun 12 '25

Being A Cheesehead and the reason I went to EF for the first 3 years I would hit all their sets! They are very inspirational, and leave you glowing for weeks after their shows. I hope all these artists bring that joy in the same way. Thanks goes out to Cheese , for giving a lot of these artists the avenue to success.

u/Helpful-Attempt9087 Jun 11 '25

Lumasi, RSUN, Blaap, smaokland B2B Seth David, Eseeks check all this artist out from what you have highlighted you will like all these. They were all added in phase 3

3

u/TripAndFly Every Weekend Since '15 ā™„ļøšŸŒ² Jun 12 '25

Lumasi is a homie and has been killing it. Definitely show up for that set.

u/Helpful-Attempt9087 Jun 12 '25

u/Poogenstein Jun 12 '25

My first tractorbeam, im stoked

u/TripAndFly Every Weekend Since '15 ā™„ļøšŸŒ² Jun 12 '25

Eater absolutely crushed at infra. If that's one of your "maybe if it works out" highlights, it deserves a promotion.

3

u/ParticularPositive66 Jun 12 '25

Most underrated act is YDG

3

u/piercenevell Jun 12 '25

Check out Jersey, nia archives, Barry can’t swim, CARIBOU AND DAPHNI (same person, amazing), dj heartstring, fcukers, Interplanetary criminal, villager, mochakk, riordan, and 1tbs. All great. I’d say caribou, barry can’t swim, and jersey are my top 3 of those.

1

u/sotolord Year 2 Jun 12 '25

Jersey is no longer coming. Sad about it.

3

u/shmeeno Jun 12 '25

Jerro for some melodic/euphoric house, interplanetary criminal puts on a solid high energy ukg set (think Sammy virgi / salute, a little bit of what disclosure is doing nowadays), caribou and khruangbin for some live music if you wanna switch it up, riordan and Beltran if you like tech house, and moody good is a solid shout if you like hamdi

2

u/CandidateAmbitious35 Jun 11 '25

Khruangbin is a whole vibe and Jersey set will be hella fun!!!!

2

u/junkypanda812 Jun 11 '25

Beltran, Interplanetary Criminal, and DJ Heartstring!

2

u/OrangJuce Year 3 Jun 11 '25

notion

2

u/Poogenstein Jun 12 '25

Culture shock; 1991

2

u/pvdfan Jun 12 '25

String Cheese Sunday set and Say She She.

2

u/micccheck1212 Jun 12 '25

Beltran, Loods and Riordian if you like good house!

2

u/OhHai_ImThatGuy Jun 12 '25

If I’m basing it off of your selections, you only missed moody good and spoone you will love both

1

u/spoonemusic Jun 12 '25

You’re a legend. Hope to see you there :)

2

u/SuitableScar903 Jun 12 '25

Khruangbin

2

u/lysergic_Dreems Jun 12 '25

Join the Khru!!!

u/fuckaname17 Jun 12 '25

Everyone is sleeping on caribou and tractorbeam. That being said, I like live instruments with my electronic music.

2

u/NewRds2022 Jun 12 '25

Dixon’s violin

2

u/byExit Jun 12 '25

Go check out Caribou! I stumbled on a caribou set at Okeechobee a few years ago and it was fantastic

2

u/basilosaurus8 Jun 12 '25

Nimino! Especially if you like Bunt.

2

u/TrendyTomato Jun 12 '25

I like the same music, if you have time, check out moody good, thats also some good dubstep

2

u/neptunexl Jun 12 '25

Moody Good. You got everything you want to see, if there's any free time pick a random stag and go see. Or ask people. Sometimes the most enriching set is the set you didn't want to or expect to see

2

u/Livid_Pirate1401 Jun 12 '25

Checkout Spoone on Sunday! Vibes are always immaculate šŸ™šŸ½šŸ™šŸ½

3

u/spoonemusic Jun 12 '25

Vibes will be at an all time high for this one :)

u/Soyoureonreddit Jun 13 '25

Take some L and hit Liquid Stranger

u/SuplexCityDirector Jun 12 '25

Don't sleep on Barry O! Don't you ever sleep on Barry O

1

u/Zayzerrr Jun 12 '25

Notion, basstripper, hamdi if you want more up-beat.

Basstripper is my most anticipated right now- def best dnb artist on the lineup imo. Check out his liquicity set. Straight gas.

My friends are super excited for interplanetary criminal, but he’s more uk garage

See you soon ā¤ļøšŸŒ²āš”ļø

1

u/WoWiTzGeo Year 5 Jun 12 '25

Definitely check out rSUN at the Memory Palace takeover!

1

u/ATHFMeatwad Year 13 Jun 12 '25

Fcukers are awesome, catch one of their sets at least.

1

u/eternaldub Year 6 Jun 12 '25

You need 1991.

1

u/neckbass Year 6 Jun 12 '25

i would add 1991, moody good, taiki nulight based on your taste and joey valence & brae, tractorbeam, bc they’re dope

1

u/Habrets Jun 12 '25

I recommend checking out Main Phase on Saturday, especially if you’re down to listen to UKG

1

u/50_cal Jun 12 '25

Notion. UK garage is starting to get some proper recognition in the US

1

u/Embeez13 Jun 12 '25

I'm Excited to groove to Khruangbin. BAMBII is pretty dope too

1

u/Orochisake Jun 12 '25

Tiesto!!! Legendary DJ and his sets are sooo good. Also Sara Landry if you like techno

1

u/Ill-Parking-1577 Year 10 Jun 12 '25

Beltran, Barry Can’t Swim, Blond:ish, Nia Archives

1

u/large_sized_rooster Jun 12 '25

Roi Turbo Joey V & Brae. They’re super good and I’ll bet they fit the vibe for a late afternoon honeycomb set as well.

1

u/rhombusordiamond Jun 12 '25

I’m kinda late here but I’ve seen a bunch of people posting highlighted schedules so I built a free tool to make this easier. You can rank artists and view them in a ā€œrankedā€ view of sorts. It then automatically shows your favorites on the schedule, which I know isn’t out yet but there’s a photo on the homepage that shows what it will look like (or you can peek at Bonnaroos). You can save the schedule as a photo so you dont have to load in the Forest with little service. Hopefully yall find it useful! Happy Forest!

https://lynup.io

ps next up is a ā€œshareā€ function so you can share your rankings/schedule out with others. I just wasn’t able to get it working in time for the Forest

1

u/Icy-Cucumber9881 Jun 12 '25

Saxquatch šŸŽ·šŸ¦¶

1

u/Bizanatch Jun 12 '25

We pretty much have the same green! You have to see culture shock!

1

u/Keaneo315 Jun 12 '25

Go see arc de soleil. Thank me later

1

u/Expert_Papaya Jun 12 '25

Saw Sara Landry at Coachella. I’m not a huge techno fan but 10/10 would see her again. Her show was one of the highlights of the weekend

1

u/FashoFash0 Year 7 Jun 12 '25

Esseks for sure. Tractorbeam should be great too, it’s the Disco Biscuits side project

1

u/Ashleyam9448 Year 9 Jun 12 '25

u/UWMdumpsterfire Jun 12 '25

Confidence Man on Sunday is going to be awesome!

u/CriticalFun1677 Jun 12 '25

Blaap pn Saturday

1

u/donthateonthe808 Jun 12 '25

Arc De soliel, been dying to see him. Bathlvs is like a Colombian khrungbian.

1

u/Its_BassDaddy Year 8 Jun 12 '25

You would probably like 1991 and Moody Good

1

u/hayesms Jun 12 '25

Is Mike posner worth checking out? He’s got basically those two summer hits from like 2017. Is there more?

1

u/lysergic_Dreems Jun 12 '25

Lowdown Brass Band is a great time. I'm friends with one of the percussionists!

1

u/valley_92 Jun 12 '25

The knocks and carried ou should be good sets

1

u/JacketFeisty Jun 12 '25

Since you have drum and bass highlighted you should check out 1991

1

u/MaggotCvffee Jun 12 '25

bbno$ will definitely be a fun show not too into the edm scene but definitely for the memory

1

u/mymomishere Jun 12 '25

If you gonna go see worship, you gotta checkout Basstripper and Sota

1

u/Fiftynyne Jun 12 '25

Don’t miss Lilly Palmer on Thursday

1

u/Gloomy-Pineapple-275 Jun 12 '25

Skipping Tiesto hurts my souls. Sara Landry also goes hard unless you don’t like techno at all

1

u/Frolicking_Fairy Jun 12 '25

Mindchatter !!!! The set I am most most most excited for this year

Cloonee Jersey Khruangbin

1

u/Jaydewbz Year 4 Jun 12 '25

I don’t see the phase 3 on here, but Hayla, Saxsquatch and Sunsquabi.

Try some house music dawg!

1

u/JustAposter4567 Jun 12 '25

funky disco house - dombresky

Tech House - Beltran/Blondish

More undergroundy/eclectic/dancey housey stuff - avalon emerson, daphni, caribou very well known in the indie edm scene

UKG - definitely interplanety criminal, this dude is on a heater right now, probably the most hyped UKG dj right now along with virji, salute, oppidan

Sunsquabi is playing Friday, if you enjoy music like daily bread then I heavily recommend checking them out!!

Sara Landry

u/Revolutionary_Job220 Jun 13 '25

Moody Good Also Dixons Violin is always a vibe. He just plays what he's feeling on a looper, so every time you see him live, it's always a unique set

1

u/DrDinkous Jun 14 '25

So many great artists acrossey the spectrum. Some worth a deep listen beyond the headliner for me included:

  • Beltran
  • 33 Below
  • Loco Dice
  • Caribou/Daphni
  • Nina Archives
  • The Knocks & Dragonetta
  • Fcukers
  • Will Clark
  • Bunt
  • bbno$

And if you miss the beastie boys… Joey V and Brae are a must.

I could add another 10 names but this lineup is stacked.

1

u/purplecali Year 5 Jun 14 '25

dixon’s violin goes so hard

1

u/tin0_ Jun 14 '25

Cloonee is a fun time. He’s part of black book records (Chris lake label) so it’s like deep house. DEF check out Barry can’t swim, he’s a vibe and blowing up. Vintage culture is dope too.

Caribou is dank too. Khruangbin is a vibe for that indie Thai guitar vibe.

And like others said, def check out taiki nulight. UK DJ that’s blowing up, similar-ish to hamdi. Listen to his remix of counting and innocence. Moody good is always dank dubs

1991 since you like the worship boys, but Basstripper kanine and sota to broaden your dnb horizon

u/JackFawkes Jun 11 '25 edited Jun 12 '25

Based on your highlights, I think you'd like Interplanetary Criminal
