Am I high, or was the official word "Next week"... which is still going on. So they haven't missed their "deadline" yet.
As for being behind their competitors, Bonnaroo traditionally doesn't release their lineup up until early/mid February with the exception of this year. Jesus, people need to calm down.
It'll release. The world isn't ending. Carry on with your lives.
When the other festivals have all released their lineups already, you're behind your competitors. In the business world, being the last one to release the product is generally considered a fail. Especially if there are rumbles that your product is going to be inferior compared to your competitors'.
Its not that its affecting my life. Its just that I was shocked to see all the positive feedback on their Facebook page, when the truth is that they haven't done anything worthy of positive feedback. Their customer communication is terrible. And my prior experiences with RedFrog sucked too. Last year I did the payment plan and my final payment was charged three times in the same day, AND they never sent me a ticket. If I didn't follow up with them I would have never received a ticket. They said my paperwork "fell through the cracks." What the hell does that mean?
Firefly was great last year. But my experiences with RedFrog have been abysmal.
Do me a favor and look up the dates of the festivals that have released their lineups thus far. Also, consider the fact that Sasquatch takes place four weeks before Firefly, and their lineup won't be released until next Tuesday.

Yeah, Bonnaroo has really been a failure over the years with their late lineup announcements. And "there are rumbles that your product is going to be inferior compared to your competitors" is really unverifiable and completely subjective. Not to mention if Paul McCartney is still at the top of the bill, he alone will sell tickets. It doesn't matter if people are butthurt about KoL or the Killers.

Remember that time Andre The Giant eliminated himself from the Royal Rumble by jumping over the top in fright after Jake Roberts threw his snake in the ring? The best Rumble performance I've ever seen was when Ric Flair, then new to the WWF, was one of the first contestants to enter and went the distance to win the vacant heavyweight championship.
Roo is also amazing at clear communication. Everyone knows when and how BLAM is occurring. No vague bullshit.
Who honestly cares this much? Something happened that they weren't expecting, big deal. Have they handled it perfectly? No, but they haven't completely shut down communication all together either.
Some of you are taking this waaaay too seriously. RELAX
constantly miss deadlines, and be way behind their competitors

Isn't it a bit hypocritical to come in here just to complain about people complaining. The world isn't ending. Carry on with your life.
This page = people defending RedFrog AKA people who don't understand PR
This thread = people bitching about things they have no control over.
I think we can all agree that RedFrog is not a shining star when it comes to organization and public relations. But the fact of the matter is that some important issue is holding up their lineup release, and they can't give us a definitive answer on when it will be resolved. It's obviously an issue not entirely within their control. Like it or not, this is the situation we're in, and there's really no point in continuing to bitch, whine, and moan about things we can't control. So just take a deep breath, sit back, and drink a long, tall glass of chill the fuck out. The lineup will be out in the near future, and I guarantee that if it pleases you, you won't it remember this mini-debacle when June arrives.
I'm not even sure how much I care about the lineup coming out anymore this thread is just way too damn entertaining
I agree with this. The lineup will be out sometime in the next week and whether or go or not will probably be swayed by other factors more than the lineup. Right now, this thread is way too much fun and will lose a lot of that once the lineup is out.
Got knocked out so early. Major disspointment with the whole thing.
Felt bad for Reigns WWE is screwing him
you will watch Reigns win the title and you will support him!!! lol i was at the Rumble it got hostile after Bryan went out and then the hostility tripled when Reigns won. They def edited what they showed on RAW the next night with the crowd noise and all bcuz it was like old school ECW crazy in there

Roo may communicate well, but they haven't put out a good lineup in 2 years. When Kanye makes it to headlining status and you're 3rd billed headliner is EDM, you've fallin off.
RedFrog may not be communicating well, but they don't have to. They never gave a date for the release and they will sell out no matter what. Plus..... they will probably have the best lineup of the season.

Kanye West is not a headliner. Got it. Any more knowledge bombs you wanna drop for us?

Kanye headlining was awesome. I don't prefer EDM as my 3rd headliner but I also don't usually prefer one or two headliners anyway.

Yeah I heard they edited out the boos on RAW the next night. You can tell on his face that he's trying not to look dissappointed but he seemed pretty crushed

mikeg already said this....
And it obviously fell on deaf ears. It's understandable to feel frustrated given the situation, but the amount of bitching and moaning in this thread is beyond pathetic.

While it will indeed release, with the way the festvial scene has been blowing up though, adaption is key. There are locals who are deadset in going to Firefly regardless of lineup, but there are also others waiting for Firefly to drop to figure out their whole summer plans. And its costing them money in the process.
Oh, and Firefly cant afford to play it cool and arrive fashionably late to this party. Something has to be setback in a big way. Wouldnt be surprised if it was "zoning", aka every municipal building in Delaware trying to latch on to that cash cow making it a matter of paperwork. If its a top tier artist that bailed, they would be fucked this late in the game. My brain says that if they lost Paul, they should just cancel this year. But it is firefly, replacing Paul with Aoki might just sell more tickets. But inevitably someone is going to get bumped and there will be the lineup, or its a desperate trip to the graveyard to get RedFrog's pick of Jack Johnson or Hootie.

1. Kanye's not a headliner? Rrrrriiigggtttt... 2. I don't think its possible for Firefly to have the best lineup. Paul McCartney is good, but if its turns out to be KOL and The Killers, thats pretty weak. Especially if you're someone who doesn't really care about Sir Paul. If thats the case, then hopefully the under bill is stronger.

I bet Red Frog will never announce a lineup is coming in advance again. They'll just drop it out of the blue and not take any chances of having Fire Fly followers feel any sense of entitlement.
Mainly, I quoted this post to comment on the remarks about Roo falling off due to the headliners brought up. Kanye headlining at Coachella, Roo and ACL got lots of people excited. EDM is huge with the kids so having an artist from the genre headline was happening eventually.
