From my field study on "The Bro"
Firefly is a NorthEast mentality, just like Bonnaroo is a Southern mentality. With so many colleges in a relativity small area in the NE, its no wonder why these kids go to a cheap campover weekend at Firefly. The problem would be that these youngins dont know how to navigate a 3 hour concert let alone survive a weekend festival. The inability to rationalize their schedule and navigate conflicts leads the bro to drunkenly plow to the front of any stage that holds an act, regardless of the people who have been waiting from 5 minutes to 5 hours for their spot. Add to the fact that Firefly is most likely taking a big chuck out of these kids summer money, they want to go "all out" for their only vacation of the year which means wanting to see all of the acts they can in the best spot possible, and partying in excess while going for it.
The problem with the bros is the group mentality they have. They are sloppy drunks, continuously in motion, and sweaty as shit for lack of absorbent clothing. They have no problem asking for a picture of all 4 of the bros in a bro hug in the middle of a headliner set and are usually talking in their drunken full volume voices as they wait for that song they know from the radio. The typical bro, once inebriated, is also quick to turn that loving mentality into a drunken rage, effecting not only other festival goers, but triggering this primal aggression in his other bros. My personal vendetta, and the worst of it all IMO, is they assume everyone else has been drunk since noon, when really I am on something else and want you to be silent for 5 god damn minutes as I watch the show ive been waiting 7 months for.

Solid analysis. So what is your take on the "dude" and the ultimate.... the "dude bro"?

You just described every single guy who attends Bonnaroo, more or less.

You should try to get this published. So much truth. While I've been in the side that firefly isn't a bro fest, I 100% agree with all of that and definitely saw a lot of it.
Nothing harshes my mellow more than when someone comes pushing there way past me when there is literally nowhere to move and I've been waiting for like 5 hours in the hot sun.
It's even worse when they realize they can't go any further and decide to stop right in front of you. Because inevitably, there friends start piling in.
Oh my god.
Maybe firefly is a bro fest and I've just blocked out those memories.
The fireball whiskey... The lax pinnies... The slurred speech and attempts at moshing when it makes the least sense...

Spot on.
I feel "bro culture" may become a new subsection of anthropology courses offered at colleges nation wide.
"Notice their pastel color shorts. These colorings help them navigate crowds to locate other bros. When two bros connect a loud banging of chests and fists followed by squeals of being 'totally shitfaced' can be heard for miles. Be cautious for they may have consumed large quantities of alcohol that they cannot handle appropriately and will try to mate with any female that makes eye contact. Females, you should avoid eye contact at all costs. This may be precieved as a willingness to mate"
Hozier is slated for the Radio 104.5 Birthday Show, but appeared on the "leaked" lineup. If there are clauses in contracts stating that a band can't play nearby, it looks like Hozier will most likely not be at Firefly. Can anyone confirm this clause exists? [sorry to disrupt the dumpster fire(s)]
Hozier, Vance Joy, Of Monsters and Men, and Death Cab for Cutie have been announced so far. It didn't have any effect last year though.
pretty sure 104.5 has some sort of involvement with the fest. Also an act like Hozier, Vance Joy isnt going to have a radius clause thats for the bigger to semi bigger acts usually
I was certainly generalizing when I mentioned neon tanks. I'm not one to judge a book by its cover either and in all fairness have my fair share of colorful clothing.
And in defense of New Jersey, people need to find a new location to direct their insults. Every state has their fair share of horrible people but no other state takes the heat like NJ. We're years removed from The Jersey Shore people, time to move on. Only a small part of the NJ population is actually like that.
Yea, the Staten Island filth portion - shots fired.
"Hey Jason! We're planning on this week still. But if it is next, we'll let you know on our FB and Twitter. Thanks"
MUST STOP UPDATING FACEBOOK AND CHECKING BOARDS. Does anyone else feel, kinda crazy obsessed right now? THIS ISNT NATURAL PPL!
I'm just hanging in this thread - forget Facebook and Twitter. Let someone else obsess and post pertinent information...it'll appear here within minutes after Firefly says anything.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I'd be so psyched if they got Spritualized. I love Spacemen 3 and J. Spaceman is a legend. "Ladies and Gentleman we are a Floating in Space" is classic.
Also, getting to see the Jesus and Mary Chain do psychocandy would be incredible.
Also, FF basically confirmed Modest Mouse in a Facebook reply earlier today.
Another out of the blue hit for the "fake"
Yeah, nobody could possibly have predicted that a high-profile and regularly touring act like Modest Mouse could have possibly played any festivals in the wake of announcing a new album. I mean, usually when bands announce new albums, they don't play any festival shows at all! What an #outoftheblue #hit.

Good point. That must be why they're showing up on a ton of lineups.

Well, they're already on two...and Firefly, Lolla, ACL, and tons of others have yet to announce.
I feel like you're the one who authored that fake, given your sincere attempts at defending it. Like you're determined to believe that it's an honest-to-God leak, and nothing that happens will dissuade you. Every band that is on the actual lineup will be proof that it was real, every one that isn't will be proof that those acts dropped out, which necessitated the delay.
Anybody think there's a chance Firefly would bring in a jam band or two? I saw that Lettuce was on the fake/leak, and I was thinking about how Lotus would kill it on a late night set.
Lotus would destroy a late night set. I'm talking cheek-spreading, visual and sonic domination.

This is what I want. I love the flaming lips live because they have such amazing shows. I want the whole sensory overload package to blow my weed hazed mind.

I just think it's quite funny how confident you are that it's fake and how you've felt the need to brag about how you know it's fake over and over and over in this thread.
And then artists who appear on no other festivals or have any tour dates to indicate they'll be close by are confirmed from the leak, and it's just amusing. (MM appeared on the leak before the Forecastle announcement)

Is Porter on the fake? Cause if not I doubt Carlzner-bro created it?
