The show must and will go on. Electric Forest appears to have cleared its final hurdle to return with the 2015 edition of the Electric Forest Festival at Rothbury in Michigan. Yesterday evening, the Grant Township Board gave the festival its final permit approval for a mass gathering permit with a split vote of 3-2, according to local paper Oceana Country Press.There had been a fear that the permit might not be approved, despite the festival signing a 10-year lease with the site to hold the festival on the grounds for another 10 years. The mass-gathering permit has to be approved each year by the town committee.The festival has been mired in legal issues recently, with battles occurring between AEG Live/Madison House, the owners of the festival, and dance conglomerate SFX, which recently acquired the land the festival presides on. After months of legal back and forth, which involved a lengthy court battle and many public comments, a judge ruled in the favor of SFX and the company's right to own the property. -
