Anyone have any clue BESIDES EARLY FEBRUARY when we are gonna get a full lineup. I think they gotta drop it this week,if they don't, they won't loose a ton of people, but they'll lose enough of the immediate sales that I think it will be noticeable.
he/they '12 - Firefly '13 - Firefly, Made In America '14 - Firefly, Made In America '15 - Mountain Jam (Sunday), Firefly, Pitchfork, Made In America '16 - Boston Calling, Firefly, Osheaga, Made In America, Roots Picnic NYC '17 - Boston Calling, Gov Ball, Firefly (Sunday), Pitchfork, Day For Night '18 - Boston Calling, Mountain Jam, Osheaga '19 - Form, Firefly (Sunday) '22 - Boston Calling, Firefly '24 - Solid Sound, Soundside
You're making this hard. I need to wait for a full line up. But that day pass option is looking tempting.
I think the only way I make it this year is if they sell day passes too. We'll see. They are going to put the 4 day on sale first and if it sells really well, they are probably going to discontinue single days.

Sure, they aren't making any money on ticket sales right now because they are waiting to release the lineup. However, in the long run, they will not lose anything in sales. They will in fact make more money than they ever have. Everyone else releasing early will not have any effect on Firefly.

Despite the complaints about every lineup from Coachella to Bonnaroo, the reality is Firefly will still move 80,000 tickets waiting until February. That doesn't mean a single one of us wants to wait that long though.
I'd be shocked if they didn't make up for last year's pathetic EDM slate. Skrillex just seems overdue. Imagine a Paul --> Skrillex Sarurday? Yes please.

Especially since both Roo and Gov Ball had Skrillex last year. It's tough to tell if we will since Hangout is a month before Firefly and doesn't really warrant possibilities. EDM is tough for FF due to EDC LV being the same week.

True. The thing we have going is DJs routinely do the cross country next day performances, so while it makes things kind of dicey, I don't think it's enough to rule out any potential EDCLV artists for FF.
I know you was able to tell everybody they was playing Bonnaroo even after all the confusion with insider, just wondering if you knew for Firefly.
No MMJ. But I haven't seen the full lineup. And honestly last I heard the full lineup wasn't even done yet. They were still working it all out. Hence why I'm not saying count on Snoop Dogg to be there. It might fall through. He's just one of the names I know they were talking about for a pre-hl spot. Two years ago Atoms for Peace fell through at the last second for Gov Ball, last year Eminem fell through on them too. Prince has backed out on Bonnaroo 3 times now. This year Alt-J and Pixies didn't work out for them either. Certain acts are just written in pencil and not a done deal. I can tell you that Killers-KoL-Paul are written in sharpie though.
Is it at all a possibility that The Strokes are 4th on that lineup?

Paul McCartney * Kings of Leon * The Killers * Florence and the Machine Skrillex * Lorde * Modest Mouse * Death Cab For Cutie * J. Cole Tame Impala * Alt J * Hozier * Flume * The Decemberists Spoon * The War on Drugs * Future Islands * Brand New * Passion Pit * TV On The Radio Gary Clark Jr. * Porter Robinson * Manchester Orchestra * St. Vincent * Father John Misty * Caribou Run the Jewels * Sylvan Esso * Frank Turner * St. Paul & The Broken Bones * The Kooks The Lone Bellow * Milky Chance * Benjamin Booker * Bahamas * Strand of Oaks * Royal Blood
My try at a lineup. I might be to optimistic though. And obviously a few of these would be replaced with rap, I just don't really follow the genre for what to expect. If 75% of these are there this would be my personally favorite lineup.

That would be enough to pull me away from Roo and attend FF instead, for sure. This is a very optimistic lineup though, I have to tell you haha.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

haha yeah it was more just a list of artists that are doing festivals that would make a hell of a lineup and its definitely optimistic, yet I wouldn't say unrealistic. I expect at least 50% of those to be there, but if there was 75% it would top every fest for me.

Dang I'm pretty upset with the rumor mill. I hope it's not true. Thats the worst headliner combo Firefly has had. I certainly don't think McCartney is worth the boatload of money they'd pay for him. That's just my opinion tho. If the rumors prove to be true I think I'll sit out on this one. Sucks because I'm from Delaware too. Pretty disappointed.

haha Im curious who you think would be an ideal set of headliner? If there is one person worth the boatloads of money I would say its McCartney. I don't know if you've ever seen him live but he practically plays a 40 song set consisting of 75% Beatles jams. Saying he isn't worth the money is saying The Beatles aren't worth it.
EDIT: Not to mention that seeing him alone, at the cheapest, cost at least $140. I saw him at Nat stadium and paid $180 and to be on the ground was like $275 or something like that. When looking at it that way, paying $300 for a festival ticket is well worth it simply because he is on the bill.

Call me crazy, I'm not a Beatles fan. I know that may come as a shocker to some people but I'm just really not that into them, just my personal opinion. I was hoping the poll vote would hold some weight and maybe Pearl Jam would be one of the headliners. AC/DC headlining Coachella also gave me hope that they were one of the possible headliners. Maybe a good hip hop act as well like Nas, Jay Z or Eminem. Zac Brown Band would be an awesome fit for Firefly too.

I guess to each their own, but I hope you can see how the vast majority disagree so it makes sense why they would drop the money on him. I am surprised Pearl Jam wasn't a priority, I feel like its at the point where they HAVE to book them next year. AC/DC would not fit with Firefly's crowd at all IMO. And after Sonic Highways I really do appreciate Zac Brown as a musician but in all honesty, that Big Barrel Fest that is the weekend after Firefly is a much better fit for them that I do not think Red Frog would ever book them for Firefly. There has been a strong response from their polls to not ever put country in the lineup and I think making a separate fest was a good call. From a financial standpoint booking them for Big Barrel would sell wayyyyy more tickets than if they booked them for Firefly.
