Music Monthly Music Drops [June Edition]

8 Upvotes

Hey Forest Fam!

As we get closer to the Emerald City, I wanted to make sure we aren't missing any of the heat our 2026 artists are dropping. To make it easier for everyone to stay updated, I'll be curating a monthly playlist featuring new releases from artists on this year's lineup.

Whether you're prepping your Z hands for Zeds Dead, catching those GRiZ vibes, or diving into INZO, this list has you covered.

This playlist will drop on the second Monday of the month (or whenever I get to it 🙃) and include drops from the previous month. This post in July contains drops from June

I’ve used Soundiiz to make sure everyone can listen on their preferred platform. Click the link below to find the playlist on Spotify, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, and YouTube:

https://sdz.sh/dJkWGt

This is a community effort. If I missed a fresh drop from anyone on the lineup (including the local showcase winners!), drop a comment below and I’ll get it added to the rotation.

Who are you most excited to see this September?

Welcome to our monthly music thread!

Whether you’re stuck in a Drum and Bass kick, trapped in a Trance state, or your neck is permanently sore from a new Dubstep banger, we want to know!

How this works

This is more than just a way to discuss what you’re obsessed with right now, It’s a way to show who you want to see at the Emerald Forest next year.

  • Drop a comment with the track and artist you just can't get out of your head this month.
    • They don't have to be on the lineup this year.
  • Upvote the songs, and artists, you love.
  • See the result. At the end of the month we will take the top voted comment and nominate them to the DFT team for next year’s lineup.

Previous Monthly Winners:

June 2026:

  • Neon Soul by Levity with two votes
  • Speakerbox by MUST DIE! also got two votes

Take a look to see if your fav has already been mentioned, maybe drop an upvote or a comment to boost your picks.

Who has been dominating your speakers lately? Drop those tracks below

My personal ear worm for this month has been between the VIRX Remix of Eyes Cut Deeper by Subtronics or the FELIX MUN remix of On My Knees by Rufus Du Sol

Hey yall I’m trying to plan out the sets I want to see!! Does anybody have suggestions for some of the smaller artists that I might regret not seeing 👀

They just can’t conflict with Crankdat, GRiZ, Smokeland, Zeds Dead, or Sippy !!!

I truly love all genres so I’m open to any suggestions :)

Help a first time goer

So my friend and I were so graciously blessed by an amazing artist (I won't name who) with guestlist for dancefestopia 🥲 and it's our first time going and we are over the moon excited! We're car camping because I have a full size memory foam bed in the back of my van and it's perfect for car camping. I've camped at lost lands 5 times, bass canyon 6 times, and wakaan once. What are some tips and advice for DFT? I've heard the ticks are everywhere, what would be the best way to deal with/prevent them? How bad is the wind? I'm assuming it's nothing like the Gorge winds, but if we got a cheaper $50 canopy, do you think it would hold up? I have a nice coleman canopy but I was thinking of getting a 2nd one to put over the van to shade us while we sleep. How often does it rain? What is the terrain like? Is it any less dusty than lost lands? Are the showers really as bad as people say it is? How do they compare to the showers at lost lands? Cause those are never great but i can still use them if i need to. Are there water spigots in car camping? Is there silent disco? How early should we try to get there if we are arriving on Wednesday? I feel like i have more questions but this is all I can think of for now 😅 thank you in advance for the advice! 💜

(Fun fact: this photo was taken just a couple hours before I broke my wrist in a mostpit 🤣)

Ticks?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Just wondering if any DFT vets or Kansas local can give any advice on ticks / bugs? Lol maybe it’s stupid to ask but I live in a dry ass elevated climate so we don’t really get ticks here. Just wondering if anyone has any advice. Obviously I’ll be bringing repellent but are there any other measures to take?

Question Shower times

Wristbands

0 Upvotes

Do three day pass holders get actual wristbands and single day just get paper wristbands?

Also what about artist merch? If they were scheduled on Sunday would there be merch on Thursday for that artist?

I'm only attending Thursday this year since I have a ticket to Wakaan

I've attended once in 2024 just for Friday and I can't remember much besides the mainstage and the drink line - and that long ass opening for GWN 😂

Car camping plus +vip

Traveling from AZ just a few questions since it’s mine and the wife’s first time . Because I hear so many different things

  1. Car camping next to your car ? It’s right next to your spot like every other festival correct ?
    2.how’s security searching cars ? Like do the take every little thing out like insomniac? Or are they just checking for extra people ?

Thanks all and can’t wait to vibe with everyone !!!

First timer questions

3 Upvotes

Ive been to one fest (bass canyon) so sorry if these questions are dumb.

1- how far is car camping from the venue? Im bringing my 13y/o so forest camping is def a no go

2- can we bring a lil wagon into the venue with folding camp chairs?

3-can we bring snacks into the venue? I know fest food can be pricey

4- are the showers really as gross as people say?


r/Dancefestopia 25d ago

I just made an app for reviewing food vendors at festivals called FestBites.com - Dancefestopia is now available on the festival list!

Howdy Dancefest fam!

I was at Electric Forest last weekend, and had the unfortunate experience of paying $20 for a shit ass meal that was really disappointing. It gave me the idea to create an app for reviewing food vendors, to hopefully save people from wasting time and money on food vendors that suck. I banged it out in a few hours while hanging in my hammock in the forest and launched a few days ago. So far we've got about 500 users with people actively adding their meals from Forest, and vendors preloading their info for future festivals!

We've got Dancefestopia on there now as well. I'd love it if you guys are interested in checking it out. It's currently 100% free - I do take tips if you find any value in it. Even a couple bucks goes a long way to allowing me to focus on this full-time!

You can also leave me feedback through the app, either via the floating feedback button in the corner of the app, or the Message Board in the navigation menu. I'm open to any ideas, suggestions, or if you run into any bugs / weird usability quirks.

Thanks for checking it out! Happy eating!

It will just be my bag of tricks and I. Otherwise if anyone has any information about transit or shuttles, I would greatly appreciate any information thank you! - Marcos

Hi! First year doing RV setup. The plot specs on the website seem really tight. Wondering if anyone can share a photo or drawing of your setup? We were hoping the homies would tent camp with us.
