I chose Beck too, Apparently Tegan and Sara had technical difficulties and only performed a few songs. Firefly will eventually be where Bonnaroo and Coachella are with their times. Basically every year is a new experiment as they add new people, more artist, expand the grounds and deepen the festival. They have to progress slow. If anyone was there in 2013 you remember the hectic traffic. They fixed that in 2014 by adding more days. It's year four, so there will be more growing pains ahead.

I hope the festival goes later into the night this year. Each year it has extended by an hour. It would be nice to not overlap the good Djs. Since it seems White Panda is going to be a resident at Firefly which I have no problem with... seen em six times, Firefly should let them close out Thursday night, since last year I believe thursday night ended at 11. I am sure they are allowed to end at Midnight.
Yes, that's my biggest problem with Firefly. They give people like Weezer and Beck only one hour when they could easily play two if they stretched acts later into the night, instead of booking 25 indie pop bands that all sound the same so they can play 15 mins and take up so much space. Give me a smaller undercard and longer sets into the night. Last year they had Tegan and Sara, Beck, Sleigh Bells and Johnny Swim at the same time and I had to choose, obviously Beck.
Ha yea I hated making that choice. I love me some sleigh bells (and wanted to check the others out) but I was there for beck too. Although to honest, Sautrday afternoon was the biggest grey area of my memory of the whole weekend. I may have been at a couple places.... The beer and etc. was def flowing through my veins that day.
Anyone want to share some random undercard hopefuls? The more random the better. I need some new music to listen to. Personally, I'd like to see the Felice Brothers again. And for even more random, Nada Surf?
If you have Spotify I would recommend checking out the inforoo mix. I have discovered quite a bit of new music just hitting the shuffle button. You can also feel free to put your own touch on it by adding songs yourself:
I'm talking about a headliner for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Ah. Now I see. Festivals tend to only include a Thursday as a travel day and don't put a lot of money into the day production wise. Remember all the complaints about FF 2013's traffic issues? Well that's why now theirs a whole day for people to get in and settle. And once they are settled in might as well make a quick buck getting some low key bands to play while they hawk drinks, food, and t-shirts

I chose johnnyswim that night and they did NOT disappoint. They pretty much acted as their own roadies so they were out chatting while setting up and they took some photos with fans after. They're such nice people. And it was awesome seeing Amanda carry on her mom's legacy.
Yeah I know. I waited in that 2013 traffic and will forever buy the wednesday camping because of it. Thursday was the funnest night at the hub though.
That's my predicament this year. We did Wednesday premier RV last year and it was so amazing. We waited in some lines but nothing crazy. Being there early really relieved a lot of stress.
This year we really want premium RV so we can get hook ups and not have to rely on a generator. but they only offer that for Thursday.
Any shot of deadmau5 being at firefly. He hasn't listed anything after roo on his tour, and hes doing gov ball as well
Thatd be sweet, launchpad did say he heard of a different top billing for Firefly than the leak (which would be Zedd/Aoki). So Its possible. That said since we already he isn't headlining it would be a surprise. I'm not sure how you headline Bonaroo and Coachella but then not Firefly.
