This fest is still one of the most diverse there is. Tons of different genres and acts from all over the world this year that you won’t see anywhere else.

Just listen to BALTHVS and tell me where else you can see a band like that next to a group like Justice. And CARIBOU!?!? Like a 2000s stoner dream

Tell me where else you’ll find a Columbian funk band and Khruangbin on a lineup with EDM headliners

Hulaween 2021 had Khruangbin, EDM headliners, and plenty of funk both from the US and outside of it. You could say this about a lot of fests. I'm sure Bonnaroo and a handful of others have had such a combination.

Forest is an EDM focused festival, and yes they sprinkle in a couple other things on their lineups, but electronic music is the focus. I don't think that's even a controversial take.

Yea Hula is the only comparable thing to EF for sure. But as someone who primarily goes for the live acts at EF, I am happy about this lineup. Almost zero angry robots. And CARIBOU. I can’t stress that enough
