It has a certain energy and power to it that one can’t even begin to fathom until they truly submerge themselves into the Forest. And that is much more than just buying a ticket. It means stepping out of your comfort zone. It means dancing with strangers. It means taking it all in and seeing how the magic of Forest can transform you, the other 360 days that you aren’t at Rothbury.

For two days, Petco Park, which is graciously loaned out by San Diego and the Padres, is home base for Proper, where thousands descend for an incredibly stacked two days of music.
