I just feel like the majority of the predictions are almost exclusively acts that are playing at the other big festivals. Yes, there will be many of them that will be at Firefly of course. But why would Redfrog have basically the same undercard as the other major festivals (with the new agreement)? Seeing that they chose to have three headliners that arent at any other festival (the real kicker that leads my belief is the Killers), I'm sure they want as much diversity with the undercard as they do the headliners. Last year they pulled out Thid Eye Blind, Weezer, etc that weren't touring or really playing other festivals, I think they continue with that.

Yes I loved how they had Third Eye Blind and Weezer there, such a surprise. I hope Firefly does something like that again.
weezer played a full tour schedule in 2014. i dont think anyone has gotten exited over Third Eyed Blind since like 1998 and they played the Susquehanna 5 weeks prior to FF

Yeah, I get what you're saying. There probably won't be much overlap with Gov Ball considering their proximity to each other, but I would expect a decent amount of overlap with Coachella and even Bonnaroo. In 2013, 7 of the top 25 artists at Firefly also played Bonnaroo, and in 2014, 6 of the top 25 artists at Firefly also played Bonnaroo.
Hey, I was super excited about Third Eye Blind. They put on an awesome show! Good point though gman57. I am hoping to see other random acts like that this year at Firefly. I knew many people enjoyed having Weezer and Third Eye Blind there. The crowds were insane.

I'd love to see them book acts like The Strokes or Phoenix, but I don't see that happening. If The Strokes are active, I think they'll be in Europe in June, and Phoenix toured heavily in both 2013 and 2014.

Yea all I meant was I expect some random acts not seen at other big festivals. When I meantioned Weezer I don't believe they played any big festivals in 2014, or at least until the fall.

I imagine there would be some repeats from the 2012 and 2013 lineups considering that many of those artists are touring and/or releasing new albums in 2015.
I'd love to see Grouplove back again even if it's their 3rd year. They absolutely killed it last year. Probably one of the highlights of the weekend.
So let me get this straight. You were complaining about The Killers headlining, but you want Grouplove back for the 3rd time in four years? Whatever floats your boat I guess.
I have a feeling 21 Pilots will be there again this year because they are doing other festivals as well.
i like them and all but they need a break from touring its been like 2 years straight and its the same exact set every single time. need to get some new material together now

Hey pal, i'm not talking about headlining. I'm just saying in general. Didn't know you had a crush on the killers. You kiss their poster before bed every night?

Actually, I'm not a huge fan of The Killers to be honest. I enjoy some of their discography, but their last album was pretty weak in my opinion. I haven't had a chance to see them, so I'm fine with them headlining.
P.S. All you accomplished with this post is making an ass out of yourself. Way to get insanely defensive about Grouplove of all bands.

Seriously, so butthurt over such a shitty band, someone tell the Grouplove diehard to take it down a notch.

If anything you got defensive when I mentioned Grouplove initially (you came at me). I'm just hoping for a good lineup like anyone else and stating my opinion on the matter. Peace.

The Killers play all of their hits live and from what i remember last year they played one song from their last album. I like them, not some superfan like our Grouplove guy over here, but they are certainly good live and they make for a fun sing along set

P.S. Brandon Flowers give his best
You must have poor reading comprehension skills because I didn't get defensive about anything. I just simply questioned your judgment/taste in music.
Can you idiots stop asking for bands that just played last year to come back?
Seriously, I see this all over the Firefly facebook page, twitter, and message forums. It's as if people just want to see the same exact bands year after year at the same festival. Someone one reddit was asking if they would bring back Arctic Monkeys this year. Are you kidding me?

Sorry that people like bands so much that they want to see them again. I definitely would VETO arctic monkeys though...went and saw Chance The Rapper instead last year. Best decision I could of made. Anyone else go to his show?

Then go to another festival or their own show. Booking anymore than 1 or 2 repeat acts, especially if they haven't gotten any bigger at all, is idiotic.

Ya because Twenty One Pilots were just awful coming back last year for the 2nd time. The HUGE crowd who saw them must of hated that they were back again.
