Diplo Puts The Haters On Blast After Electric Forest Sells Out In Minutes
The lineup for Electric Forest this year received a lot of divisive opinions, but the most salient of the bunch seemed to focus on Diplo receiving 25% of the headline card. He was booked both for a solo set as well as a set with his dancehall/reggae infused group Major Lazer, something that was seen as an odd move by a lot of Foresters.
Of course, that didn’t end up mattering because, according to Diplo himself, Forest ended up selling out in record time. He tweeted to his 2.6 million followers as such, and included a picture of him with middle fingers up, captioned, “Thought you guys weren’t coming to Electric Forest?”
It’s a particularly sick burn, given the widespread backlash against the lineup and the objective popularity of the festival regardless of it. See you in the forest, Diplo.

Electric Forest Sells Out In Record Time for 10th Anniversary Despite Hate Over Its Lineup
After a divisive lineup drop for its 10th anniversary earlier this week, the proof is in the pudding. Electric Forest 2020 has just sold out in a matter of minutes! This was a magnitude of order quicker than last year’s sell out, which took a comparative eternity at seven hours.
Diplo and Major Lazer be damned, the lineup and experience still attracts tens of thousands of attendees each year. With The String Cheese Incident and Bassnectar, plus Flume, Big Gigantic, Louis the Child and more set to provide the soundtrack for this momentous year, there’s no doubt that it was going to sell out. But seeing just how quickly is astounding.
