The Village of Rothbury approved an extension of the gathering permit for the Electric Forest music festival through the summer of 2035 at a special meeting last Thursday. This came on the heels of the village amending its mass gathering ordinance last month to allow for 15-year permits, up from the previous 10.
AEG Presents, the company that puts on the Electric Forest in Rothbury each year, thanked the village for its approval of the permit. The length of the extension also creates the possibility of additional music and site upgrades for the festival in the future.
Although the demand for tickets for the Electric Forest is massive each year - the 2024 festival sold out in December, over six months in advance - AEG Presents’ Alexandra Dunne said there are no plans to increase the number of tickets sold “for the foreseeable future.”
