We aren't going to get the lineup today. They commented on someone's post 2 minutes ago saying some things are just out of their hands and they are going to give us the lineup as soon as possible.
" Our team works hard year round to put together the best festival possible for our fans. Right now, there are just some things that are out of our hands that need to be in place before we can give you your lineup. We appreciate everyone's patience and hope to see you at The Woodlands."
Even though we have no definitive evidence that the line-up will come out at 5pm CST, I am going to go on record and declare that we will absolutely receive the lineup at that time.
If it doesn't come out at the time, I can blame my "source"...but if the lineup does come out, I shall be a wizard supastar!
I hope that they at least say something beyond "check back tomorrow for more giveaways!" when announcing today's winners. Doubtful they will though, unless they do drop the lineup which from that FB comment seems unlikely.

Hopeful but not holding my breath.
Not to be dramatic, but I've pretty much lost all hope at this point. Where there was hope there is now just frustration.

An update of some kind would be nice - seems they should do more than respond to random fb posts
whats your guys thoughts on rappers for this year? Can we expect any other names besides snoop and cudi or would that be asking too much
Don't forget about RTJ I'm most excited for them. I'd love for Freddie Gibbs x Madlib and someone like Flatbush Zombies or something that would be cheaper but FF never really seems to focus too much on rap unfortunately

That would be amazing if the fest got cancelled after having these ticket giveaways. As bad as I want to go, they're ducking up big time and that would just be an amazing end to the saga. This thread would reach a supernova level of explosion. As someone who has lurked this thread hard for the last couple weeks, there could not be a more fitting ending.

Bishop Nehru, and just based on availability and the relationship goldenvoice has with them, Ghostface and BADBADNOTGOOD are both possible. Logic sadly too.

Agree. But I think that's probably asking a lot. Remember how long it took for them to release a "we fucked up" statement?
I think this is going to be such an unceremonious line up release. You'd think they'll offer an explanation once it's all sorted out. Especially if the hold up wasn't their fault.

Plot twist: FF gets cancelled and Goldenvoice comps everyone who had tickets with all-expense paid trips to Coachella.

I'm not sure what's worse, not knowing when the lineup is coming out, or knowing that THEY don't know when the lineup is coming out. Ok I guess I can answer that for myself...

Or all the things we can make up in our heads as reasons why in the meantime. It's got to be something interesting to hold things up this long- you'd think most issues could be handled relatively quickly
What headliners do you guys think would get the least amount of backlash? My vote would probably go to Daft Punk or The Rolling Stones. Maybe the Dead reunion. I feel like even huge gets like Prince or Pearl Jam would still generate backlash especially from younger generations.
Not to prove your point or anything but to be honest, if Prince was headlining Firefly I would be seriously, seriously bummed. In all actuality, I wouldn't buy a pass. That would suuuuuuck. Just saying.
Pearl Jam/Daft Punk/The Rolling Stones/Dead would be dope though.
One question I do have: Big Barrel takes place at the Dover Intl Speedway too, correct? And they're currently selling passes. And released the lineup two months ago. Is it because Firefly is a bigger festival that the government zoning issues would put Firefly on hold but not BB?
EDIT: This is if it actually was the zoning issues holding up the Firefly release, obviously.

Yep it takes place at the woodlands too. That's what makes me think it's not a local government issue - but who knows. We probably never will know what the problem was - especially if it is one of the bands

I may get crucified for this, but, I just do not get the appeal of Prince. It seems like he is universally sought as festival headliner, and I do not get why.

Saw him in the 90's & he kicked ass. Dude did a flip off of the piano & landed on high heells while playing guitar. What's more bad ass than that? Haha. Let's go line up!
