Did Firefly get a grant or something to afford all of these names your dropping?
If this is true then that is incredible.
i dont think KOL and the Killers are all that expensive.
KoL run around 250k to book. I'd imagine The Killers are around the same, with Paul McCartney running 500k+ if I had to venture a guess. Probably more to make it happen, since Firefly still hasn't reached Coachella or Bonnaroo status.
Do we have any updates on when the lineup will release? Are we still assuming it is going to be February? Someone posted on reddit (I believe) that there was a rumor it was going to be announced at 11am today...so much for that eh?

I've heard from multiple people that it won't be until early February wish they would give us an exact date though

i posted this a few days ago, but the brand ambassador email they sent out said to be available late january / early february. so unless they drop some hints before then, looking like we have a while

I really do like the move to get McCartney. It 1) puts Firefly on the national map 2) makes booking future bands that were considered a long-shot possible in future years.

Based on the results of that headliner poll, I'm surprised they didn't book Pearl Jam in place of Kings of Leon or The Killers. Pearl Jam doesn't have any touring plans at the moment, but neither do the other two. Also, Pearl Jam doesn't cost an outrageous amount of money either.

i wish! i was really hoping for pearl jam or arcade fire
I'm still shocked with The Killers only because of them already playing at Firefly as a headliner before. I know that Firefly was not nearly as big as it is now but still, I feel like many people will be disappointed. We will overall have the best headliners so far in my opinion. Not so happy about Kings of Leon but if they play on a sunday, they might put someone else playing at the same time as him like they did for Jack Johnson last year.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised we didn't see Pearl Jam too, but I think a number of festivals had an interest in Pearl Jam and the band just wasn't biting this year.
As for the headliners, I get the sense Firefly might be going for a bit older demographic this year, which I'm not saying is a good or bad thing. Just an observation.

Is there any chance Arcade Fire could play before a headliner? I really want them at FF...
this fest needs to raise the demo age a little, the odler crowd are the ones buying VIP and spending their disposable income inside.
I think it's perfect as is. If you start raising the age demo, you start competing with Roo in a battle that you won't win, their niche in the college/post-grad market is treating them very well.

Agreed. Paul McCartney definitely does this and The Killers and KoL do as well to a less extent. For the future growth of the festival it was kind of necessary.
Firefly is looking to become the Coachella of the East coast with two weekends.

no its not perfect as is. College kids arent spending 100$ on alcohol a day inside like many 25 and older do. being able to appeal even a little more to an older demo (like this top 3 certainly does) is how you maximize your profits. I bet you the VIP sales will nearly double with McCartney playing
