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.
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)
You seem to have no idea as to the twin concepts of "correlation" and "causation." So I'll just leave you be.
It was the same type of thing that I did asking them about Big Data (I posted that last night on here). I'm not sure it really confirms anything. Who knows if the Facebook account person even knows the lineup.

That phrase doesn't actually work in this kind of scenario, but it's cute that you think it does.

Can we just get you two together and fight already? I'd pay good money for this
Where were you for the roo healdiner thread? On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst), Rory is at about a 3 right now compared to some of things he said in that shiz fest.
The mood on the FB page has changed drastically today; suddenly everyone commenting is like "Keep up the hard work, FF!" and "You'll never let me down! I love you long time."
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.

Mike G organized a happy train amongst the clowns in the Firefly Facebook group.

Couldn't they just be removing/hiding the negative posts?

That's because Greco just posted in the FB Fan Group page asking everyone to go over to the official page and show support for Firefly.
Lolllllll. I should've guessed Mikey had some involvement in that. Literally ALL the posts now are oozing praise for FF.
Edit: Someone actually posted a picture of the cookie in one of the hyper-supportive messages posted today. Guess MikeG has a pretty strong fan following...someway somehow. He directs, they follow.

Have to wonder if some of those people fluffing up the page are loosely associated with them and they were asked to do so (out there but possible).
PS I fell asleep (not kidding) during Modest Mouse's Firefly 2012 appearance, so boring - and the people I was with who stayed awake said it was boring too. Take that as you will...
EDIT: Just seeing the posts above about Mike. Disregard, I guess..
I've resigned myself to wait it out and try not to care when, but that just pisses me off for some reason. Let's remove the negative posts and pretend everything is great.
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.
You just described every single guy who attends Bonnaroo, more or less.
Roo bros are there no question. They are everywhere. The distance/cost of attending bonnaroo as opposed to attending 2-3 local festivals with a younger crowd, and/or Ultra, TomorrowWorld can put the bro-centage down. The age gap of Bonnaroo keeps all the old people at one stage and usually all the bros to bro out at another at night, when they are at their worst. If Roo schedules it right, they barely have any interaction at the actual set (or sets since usually 2 similar acts play at the same time). Even the headliners at bonnaroo are getting divided into young night and older folk night now. Walking among the crowd in centeroo during the witching hour of the night, the 50 year old veteran couple blends with the 18 year old rave kid and the 25 year old newfould flower child whos at her first festival. Towards dawn the pool gets a little less diluted as the old, drunk, tired, and/or heat exhausted retire back to camp and the wooks and edm kids take majority.
Plus, the bro mentality of these kids really deflates in the middle of Friday night. After Thursday night and Friday day, everyone slows down a little. Yes the ever present good vibes have an effect to mellow out the inner rage of the bro, but not as much as when the rest of your beer is warm, you lost 8 lbs of water weight because of 100 degree days and 120 degree crowds, realized you have not brought enough fill in the blank to survive, and have 2 days of festival and a drive home still ahead of you.

LOL. Hey guys, this company wants all your money and does a generally terrible job of communicating with it's customers but they're having a tough day so tell them how amazing they are!!!
They need to realize that this is a business and customers aren't going to stand by them forever yes we realize that things happen and unexpected problems pop up but if they want my continued support and money they need to do a better job of telling us what's actually going on. If Apple promises a new iphone in Q2 this year and Q2 comes an goes with no updates whatsoever you better believe tr customers have a right to ask what the hell is going on and for some updates

Solid analysis. So what is your take on the "dude" and the ultimate.... the "dude bro"?
The dude bro as a noun is the ultimate bro. He could be surrounded by peace, love, and happiness and still look around and say "fuck these hippies"
"Dude bro" as a verb would be when one bro went to the extreme. Such as "Dude bro, you drank so much last night" in celebration or "Dude bro, you crashed my car last night" as a depressing comment.

Yeah I wasn't that excited by them at ff 2012 either. It could be because I didn't know much about them going in, but even where I was at the very front only a few people seemed really into it.
I like Mike's word choice "unjust" in his post. Those posts are UNJUST. I think it is time we gather forces and fight for what matters. #bringFFjustice

You won't see me at MM barring an Aoki only conflict. I've never seen what the big deal is about them, just can't get into them.
I fucking love them on track. Bummer to hear these live reviews :/ I haven't seen a MM show before. I'm gonna go look up their FF 2012 show on YT now though to see for myself.
Edit: Just watched Float On from that set; I mean, I think I would've liked to be there because I really enjoy their music, but I definitely note a lack of energy from the band.
