- Bill Nershi and String Cheese at Rothbury 2009
The location, Rothbury MI. The dates, June 30-July 3. The headliners, String Cheese Incident. After a one year hiatus, Madison House and Insomniac Events have returned to the site of the Rothbury Music Festival in Rothbury, MI to host another stellar incident, The Electric Forest Festival. The line up includes, of course, SCI but also the likes of REO Speedwagon (ah, WHAT?), Railroad Earth, Bassnectar, Pretty Lights and of course the various incarnations from the members of SCI including EOTO and the Emmett-Nershi Band.
- Main Stage Field, Rothbury 2009
With an mix of jam bands and electronic music, Electric Forest Festival is, no doubt, going to take the experience that was Rothbury and take it to another level. Included will surely be the enchanted and psychedelic, Sherwood Forest as well as access to The Gold Rush Water Park, the Thoroughbred Golf Club, Big Wildcat Lake and horseback riding. Many opportunities to get adventurous in the Michigan countryside.
Suggestions: We did Rothbury 2009 and camped in the park and camp lot. This place is HUGE with lots of walking. They did have golf cart taxis to drive you around for a fee but, seriously, get there early to get into a lot near the gate. Or better yet, RV and Cabin options make for closer walk and a much more comfy place to crash. Again, be prepared to walk, a lot. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. However, if you live within the realm of “close enough” don’t pass up this festival. It’s going to be off the charts!

This design is steller! You certainly know how to keep a
reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was
almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost.
..HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you
had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
