4) The Hangar
Two brand new stages were featured in this year’s Electric Forest, The Hangar, and Jubilee, both of which drew quite a following over the four days.
While Jubilee was centered around live performances, hosting acts such as Eoto, Break Science, Hoop Troupe, and Lindsey Stirling, The Hangar offered a more thematic escape. Modeled after a steampunk influenced 1950’s airplane hangar, the massive structure housed everything from a real barbershop, a massage parlor, a tattoo parlor, and even a “brothel” you’d have the pleasure of scantily clad ladies read poetry.
All of these attractions carried on to the soundtrack of electronic infused doo-wop, and the structure served as a home for legendary acts like the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Truly a microcosm of the entire festival, The Hangar was a brilliantly executed stage and we can’t wait to see how it evolves for next year.
