Buckle up, because we're going back to the VERY beginning. From the start in 2016, we hear the origin story of EVOL Afters from the founder himself, Gene the trucker. From the very first moments and the crazy coincidences and obstacles that gave way in order to allow for this tiny grassroots renegade to become the largest afterparty at Electric Forest!
Looking back now, it is hard to believe what this party has become, the kind of artists that have performed at these afters, and the impact that this has had on Electric Forest as a whole.
Here we dive into Electric Forest 2016 and both weekends of Electric Forest 2017 to see how they helped shape what EVOL Afters is today.
