Once again The String Cheese Incident will host and headline the Electric Forest festival, which returns to Rothbury, Michigan on June 28 – July 1. Joining SCI a top the bill will be Bassnectar, STS9, Thievery Corportation and Girl Talk. STS9 will play two shows, while String Cheese will play a total of three.
