It would have absolutely zero to do with the lineup drop. If we don't hear anything around 10 or 11 on social media I'd start doubting another release though, obv somethings holding them up and 9/10 times its gonna be not related to whose already on the lineup.
I wonder if this had anything to do with it? Says it shouldn't be in effect this year but you never know if they need some legal stuff in place.
Seems to be more about what part of the state gets paid by FF. grease some palms RedFrog! At any rate, police are just there to make sure we don't have a Woodstock '99 repeat.
I think it's more the fact that Delaware only has three counties so some of the fest splits off into another county which then of course police are like " that's not my jurisdiction, you go figure that situation out " not sure why they just don't use all state police and then kent county fire and medical. But like you all said...not my area of expertise.

Politicians want to make it sound like a matter of public safety, but it's clearly just an instance of 300 acres of land and various other taxes they aren't collecting on.
Yeah I just threw it out there because it said the hearing was Wednesday night. It's odd that the state police were in charge of the main stage area and Dover cops the rest of the festival. I really only saw the presence with the state police inside of the fest and Dover police in the campgrounds. Either way they were both great and didn't bother anyone.
yea but it that wasnt a problem the past few years why would it be now all of the sudden?
Probably bc the festival has more than doubled in the past few years, which means a much larger in-pouring of cash (taxes). When you're sitting on that much money, other counties are gonna start eyeing the pot. So Dover's just trying to keep all the money in its pocket.
Why would that delay a lineup release though? I don't get it.
Maybe they aren't legally allowed to release it until their permits are in place. I'm not a lawyer, but I'd believe it was something like that rather than an artist issue because they have in the past said "and more" at the end.

The dates are confirmed - which I would think would be more of a permit issue. The lineup delay would seem to be more artist related to me at least.

Thus concludes our morning discussion of lower Delaware's zoning laws and social infrastructure.
Someone tell me more about their FF bro run-ins, with examples if possible. I've been all 3 years. Haven't seen any more obnoxious behavior than at any other huge social gathering. Of course, the farther removed I am from college, the more college kids annoy the hell out of me.

I think you really have to go out of your way to look for it and have it bother you. Everyone I interacted with was more than happy to be there, offering high fives, being friendly and in general pretty awesome.
The only thing that bugged me was afterward when I checked out the Firefly fan page on FB and everyone was posting pictures/making fun of people who had passed out in the fields. That's the difference in attitude, if you see someone alone in a field at 'Roo, most people would check on them, make sure they got water or, if they needed it, help. Not post a picture to a FB thread and make fun of them.

I've also been all three years and I have yet to see an overwhelming sense of bro, or any instances where bro culture inhibits enjoyment of the weekend.
Everyone just drinks, smokes weed, and chills.
When there are 80,000+ people, and lots of alcohol and drugs, of course a few people will be dicks. Doesn't mean the WHOLE festival is just assholes. Any gathering like this has the same problems. I've heard the same complaints about every festival.
Eh it's just the general stereotyping of the crowd. Same way Bonnaroo has wooks, hipsters, and bro's of their own too. I will say there is a general community feeling at Bonnaroo that can't be matched anywhere else but Firefly has a pretty friendly crowd as well. It's just different.
Have been to Bonnaroo, Coachella, Firefly and have yet to see a fight. last year at FF, some guy ran by and sprayed sun tan lotion on somebody and I thought he was gonna lose his mind, but he calmed down. Closest I've seen to any type of argument
i spent 10 min at the stage Portugal the Man played on and the rest of the ngiht at the main stage and saw plenty of dbag bro's and annoying frat type girls. Had an annoying group of dudes right in front of me at Arctic Monkeys and had a problem with the a huge bro prior to Foo Fighters.

No matter the festival, there will always be a faction of people that are simply there to get wasted and party. And to each his own. Its when that rude drunken behavior impedes on others enjoyment that brings a negative connotation to "bros".
I've been to my fair share of festivals over the years and Firefly has definitely had a more "bro-like" atmosphere than most. It's the only festival I've seen full beer cans thrown at people. Its the only festival Ive seen people forcefully pulled down off of someones shoulders. And it's the only festival I've seen a full out brawl (with the exception of warped tours back in the day). And all three situations included bros in neon tanks, and lax jerseys.

Your opinion on bros is invalidated by using the phrase "Frat type girls"
Assuming the line-up is what it is purported to be, this will my first year going to Firefly (Bonnaroo is usually my main squeeze).
The radiate positivity atmosphere at 'Roo is f***king incredible, no doubt. I am hopeful about Firefly having the good vibes (although the testimonies I have read seem mixed).

Closest I had to a run in with "bros" wash a mosh pit that several dudes tried to create during Foo Fighters. One of them kept running into me and it took everything in me to restrain myself. But I got over it, I wasn't going to let that ruin Foo Fighters for me.

I'm definitely older than most that go, but I've been the past two years and think for the most part the majority or the crowd was just having a good time. I definitely saw plenty of people wasted and there to party, but nothing too out of control, or that affected my enjoyment.
