Yeah, the European festivals are completely putting the American festivals to shame this year.
It's really true. We've been saying it's been an off year for festivals, but a lot of these European ones have got it right. Looks more like some festivals getting a little lazy and if you're Coachella with ticket sales sold out before a lineup is released, I suppose there's not much of a reason not to be.
What's even funnier is that Coachella is the one lineup that didn't completely mail it in this year.
Europe has wreaked some major havoc on this lineup, more so than in past years it would seem. OM&M, Florence + the Machine, alt-J, Milky Chance, Future Islands, Gaslight Anthem, Death Cab for Cutie, Royal Blood off the top of my head.
Which I think will make it even harder for them to move to two weeks. There is going to be much more overlap trying to coordinate two weekends.
A good point. I don't know that even Bonnaroo could pull off two weeks at this point and that's probably the closest to Coachella in popularity. It does make Coachella's lineup a bit more impressive when you consider they had to get everyone to stick around two weeks.

Plus their current date falls one week after Bonnaroo, and one week before Glastonbury. Good luck with that.

I agree completely. They still have the most depth to their lineup, so if Firefly is going to have any chance of two weekends they might as well just hand over the reigns to Golden Voice. A purely speculative question, but would people have major issues with Coachella and Firefly sharing say 70-80% of lineups in future years?
I know they're completely different types of festivals in a lot of ways, but being on opposite coasts it isnt beyond the realm of possibility for booking purposes. It'd without question devalue Coachella and the top few lines would likely vary dramatically, but it wouldn't be that different in concept to say a Warped Tour (which probably isn't the best example). There's already so much overlap as it is, that it'd solve a lot of issues with bands touring if they instantly had four tour dates between two weekends at Coachella and Firefly (if it goes to two weekends).
Just tossing it out there as a random topic, since we have no lineup to discuss.

I would add Shaky Knees, but then again Coachella and SK are not easily comparable given the differences in size, attendance, and cost.
I'm cracking up because the ad banner at the top is advertising Big Barrol festival in the firefly thread, how appropriate.
I am pretty sure it advertises based on what you have searched on your CPU.
Yea something along those lines definitely happens. I did look it up a time or two but I still think its funny considering all the media problems firefly has had.
I can't believe I just read the past 10 pages... Goodness gracious.
We're both going to hell for keeping up on this thread
I would make a comment here, but my post count means it would come off as "mean," because apparently joking and sarcasm has no place in this thread...
Seriously though, I was new once, not long ago at that. And I never had any "run ins" or thought anyone here was mean or rude or arrogant or anything. The only thing about the high post count I remember thinking was, "how can someone possibly post that much!!" Flash forward to just over a year later and I get it. I remember someone, (Dave maybe?) actually warned me early on about how addictive this place can be. It is addictive and somehow I've done it without making any enemies. Or at least none that I know of. Well, I know a couple of people don't like me- but it has nothing to do with board related occurrences. Believe it or not, these internet people are real. AND THEY HAVE FEELINGS!!!!!
Let's pray for no tweet or FB post about the ticket giveaway today.
I agree that FF fans including myself are being a tad bit anxious about the lineup coming out, but they did promise it to us last week. Yeah shit happens, but I just hope the loose ends get tied and the thing gets pumped out today. I am sick of seeing everyone getting free tickets.
Anxiously waiting for their latest ridiculous contest. It's now the middle of the week and I'll be pretty angry if we see another one today.

Bill Murray's character from Groundhog's Day was announced as Firefly's new event director, so it's not looking good.
Word...that Sasquatch lineup is the tits though, but its far as shiz for me. You can see almost all of those acts if you attend Gov Ball and Roo this year, with the exception of Action Bronson and OM&M.
I don't think we're getting the lineup today. FF is already replying to FB posts saying "if it's ready today they will release it"
Great. Let's see what contest they come up with today to avoid discussing their incompetence.
I wouldn't blame all of it on incompetence. Announcing they were going to release the lineup before they knew they were going to run into an administrative nightmare certainly speaks to their incompetence.
But Launchpad said a few days ago that it's local government issues, likely zoning, that's holding them up. And they don't want to release the lineup until they're 100% sure all their "i"s are dotted and "t"s crossed. In the end, it will get sorted out because there's too much riding on it. Just wish they didn't jump the gun and get all of our hopes up for no fucking reason.

While I haven't heard the greatest things about the 104.5 Birthday Party in Philly (OM&M, Passion Pit, AWOLNATION, Death Cab for Cutie, Hozier, Walk the Moon), between that, Gov. Ball and Boston Calling, I'm running out of reasons to go to Firefly. Paul McCartney is the glue holding this lineup together for me at least.

Here's your reason. Here's everyone's reason for sticking around this long honestly.

The guy has got moves. Let's just hope he doesn't bust a hip.
