Largest crowd ever expected for EFF

ROTHBURY — This year is the first time in the Electric Forest Festival’s four-year history that tickets sold out prior to the event and organizers are expecting the biggest crowd ever.

Tens of thousands of music lovers from all over the country will flock to EFF June 26-29 at Double JJ Resort in Rothbury.
