Six Can’t-Miss Undercard Sets at Electric Forest 2025
Midnight Generation
When the funk meets the Forest, Midnight Generation is there. Since their first album release in 2016, the Mexican live electronic pop-funk band has been gracing stages across the world. Most recently, Midnight Generation embarked on the Tender Love World Tour in the wake of their fifth studio album of the same name, and Electric Forest is the perfect environment for their tunes. Funky guitar riffs and sultry basslines, pop harmonies, and clean, crispy percussion. This will undoubtedly be a set you cannot miss. “Don’t Wait Up,” “Shinin’“! However they build their set list it’s going to be a good time.
BUNT.
When it comes to a genuine high-energy exchange between an artist and a crowd BUNT. is the epitome. His sound lends itself to vulnerability and authenticity. His productions are laden with emotion, and the release at the drops is euphoric. BUNT.’s most recent string of shows were 360 sets, where his stage was set in the middle of the crowd. The most recent iteration of this concept took place in Mexico City, where he performed to 9,000 people. You cannot miss this set and the energy BUNT. will bring to the Forest.
Caribou
Caribou, masterminded by Dan Snaith, will be nothing short of magic in the Forest. Performing with a live band and a discography that runs deep with hits including “Can’t Do Without You,” “Odessa,” “Sun,” and “Home” to his most recent album, Honey, this set will truly be one of Forest’s greatest gifts. Equal parts jammy, electronic, and emotional – it all equals out to 100% ascendance. In addition to a legendary Caribou set, Dan Snaith’s side project, Daphni, will also be performing on Saturday.
33 Below
Rising producer 33 Below has been on a steady rise for the last couple of years. With huge releases dating back to his debut EP Motions to his most recent singles “Mash Up” and “CONTEXT” with Daniel Allan there seems to be no slowing him down. With infectious drum and bass rhythms and pop-infused vocals, it is the perfect fusion of high-energy beats and lyrics to connect to. If my intuition is correct, it would be so cool to see 33 Below on the Observatory stage, but no matter where he performs, it will surely be a highlight of the weekend.
SunSquabi
SunSquabi is no stranger to the Forest and will surely put on one of the best live shows of the weekend. The electronic funk bass trio from Colorado recently released their fourth self-titled studio album, which has ear ticklers from start to finish, but standouts like “Still Here,” “Feeling’s Gone,” and “Hard Truth” with Chris Karns. Not to mention their discography, which holds an abundance of classics like “Chrysalis,” “Deluxe,” and “Cinnamon.” SunSquabi will be the manufacturer of perfectly barreled soundwaves that attendees get to shred. Don’t you dare miss the tasty soundwaves of this trio in the Forest. It will surely be one of the most memorable sets of the weekend.
YDG
YDG has been steadfastly grinding, and the world is starting to take notice. With huge remixes of some of the scene’s most iconic tracks like “You And Me” by Flume or John Summit and Sub Focus‘ “Go Back,” YDG simply does not miss. This up-and-coming producer ticked off two of his biggest bucket list shows, EDC Orlando and EDC Las Vegas. Electric Forest is about to be next. If you need a dose of bass music at Electric Forest, look no further than YDG. He will surely bring one of the weekend’s most fun, high-energy, dust-kicking sets.
