If that's the case, Kygo is the Blue Moon of craft beers. Better than most of the generic/mainstream EDM out there, but nothing spectacular.
Ahh come on I didn't mean it like that, I just meant you gotta acquire a taste for the music.
I just don't think his music is really that far outside mainstream EDM. I would argue that an EDM artist who requires an acquired taste would be someone more along the lines of Caribou.

And you're not wrong on that end. I really didn't get into Kygo until recently, so for tropical house in general wasn't something I'd heard, so it was probably moreso getting used to the sound.

Oh agreed, Kygo is fairly mainstream edm - tropical house doesn't mean non mainstream necessarily.
God I wish we had at least one of caribou/sbtrkt/flylo

This year, Firefly Music Festival is anticipating their first sold out event since the festival’s foundation in 2012. Greg Bostrom, Firefly Music Festival’s director, revealed that they are expecting approximately 90,000 participants at this year’s event, more than tripling their numbers from their first festival a mere four years ago. Evidence of the festival’s successes are clear just from looking at their advance ticket sales. Since tickets were made available for purchase in early March, the festival has experienced a 50% jump in sales compared in comparison to pre-sale ticket sales from their 2014 festival.

Once again thanks for the work on this man its awesome! I see you moved Cage back to the Lawn haha. Th emore I look at this mock the more I realize how shitty Sat is. I go from NIght Terrors at 1pm to Andrew McMahon 4 hours later. The you have me on a Forest to Backyard to Main stage marathon. I may be wrong but I didnt see Vacationer that late. I woudl think Milo Green would be later in the day. Dont get me wrong their placement on your Mock works perfectly for me. Meanwhile Friday I will get my excercise. I would like it more if they moved Morrissey to the Lawn

I agree about Vacationer. I think they will be in a time slot between 2-4pm.
Also, now that I think of it I feel like the Pavilion Stage will have more DJs closer together, instead of being broken up in practically 45 minutes to an hour break in between. Set up and breakdown is obviously much easier than live bands, so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of DJs are stacked on top of each other to keep the party going.
This reallllly goes to show us how insane Friday will be. With this schedule, I'd be doing something along the lines of:
1:00 - at Ryn to start the day, then probably staying put for Mother Mother at 2:15 also at the Backyard 3:00 - bop over to Bear Hands on Lawn but leave a little early to make gametime decision about Glass Animals vs. Sylvan Esso (that conflict seriously KILLS ME) 4:45 - again, gametime decision on Manchester Orchestra vs. Walk the Moon 6:00ish - grab some food quickly, run over to snag good spot at.... 7:00 - RUN THE FUCKING JEWELS (but feeling sad about missing Kygo), then sprint over to Backyard for Modest Mouse at 8:15 9:45 - at Paul, obvs. When that wraps up, onto Zedd and then straight to Odesza.
Then....silent disco till sunrise? Heh.
EDIT: wait, but Ryn is on Thursday...so scratch that first part

Watching this doesn't make me think that Kygo deserves a sunset set, but that they give it to Tycho instead.
I would be on board with that - but they both have that nice chill vibe to them that would be great for a sunset show. Some people say Kygo is boring but it is tropical house. Just a very different style
I feel like Tycho is ambient tropical chillwave kinda stuff, the perfect soundtrack to a sunset. His albums even have sunsets on the cover! I will give Kygo a chance but he seems entirely more poppy although I have given Tycho much more time as its great study music.

You are definitely right there - Kygo is way poppier than Tycho. Have you mostly listened to Kygo's original tracks (Firestone, Cut Your Teeth, etc.) or his remixes? Because he's got some great remixes out there. Here's one I like in particular. Idk, I just think this type of tropical house sound would be amazing at sunset. Hopefully Kygo and Tycho can both get sunset spots! Since Tycho is on Thursday and Kygo on Friday.

Man, I'd kill to have Cage the Elephant or Modest Mouse open before McCartney at the main stage instead of Morrisey.
Ugh same - but specifically MM. Then I could just inch closer throughout their set and grab a great place for Paul. But that almost certainly isn't gonna happen, and I just need to accept that fact haha

I feel like 80% of the people that bought tickets for Paul alone are gonna be camping the stage that day. Stupid but to each their own

One of my favorite remixes right there. I probably got into Kygo roughly a year ago and instantly fell in love with the remixes he had out. His remixes of the Passenger songs were so new and unique to me. When I think of Kygo I think of friends, being outside, and drinking/things. I'm really happy FF was able to snag him because I think the vibe will be awesome.

I get the whole camping out thing to get a "great" spot, but for me - I'm content with a "good" spot and not missing any acts I would like to see. Last year Outkast and Foo Fighters didn't have anyone playing opposite them and I was able to walk up and snag a decent spot. That gravel pathway behind the sound stage offered a pretty good vantage point.

Yeah for Foo and Outkast I walked up about 15 mins before they played and had really good spots. This year I will just get a good spot for whoever plays before Macca and then move up in between sets for a really really god spot

Totally agree. Leaving one set a bit early to get to another one before it starts? Sure, makes sense. Even skipping all the sets that are right before one you want a good spot for, to get there like an hour early where you can inch up during that time? Also fair. But camping out at one stage for the ENTIRE day, or even half of it, just to get a better spot for one artist (yes, even when it is Sir Paul) is silly to me. What if you really don't like what's playing half of the day at that stage, and you're missing other stuff you like better, all to save that one spot? I don't get that move

This is why I decided to go all in this year and splurged on VIP. With a 90K sellout expected having a guaranteed "good" spot for each set and some breathing room is going to be well worth it. Especially with that Friday lineup

Im doing VIP for Roo. Where is the designated "good" spot for VIP at Firefly?
Wish I had the money for VIP Premier camping is as fancy as I can get haha
P.S. I was just watching this live video of Zella Day (another pop-ish act that I think will NOT disappoint live, in addition to Tove and Ryn), and talk about new crushhhhh hot damn. She's flawless. And her speaking voice too...

Here's an aerial view of the Firefly main stage. The VIP area is at the top of the picture. VIP is the tiered platform, along with the open area in front of it.
For all of the other stages, VIP is just a small enclosure at the front, but off to the side.

Yeah, I can't afford VIP either. But it's got some cool perks -- air-conditioned restrooms and free massages. (It used to come with free food, but they dropped that last year.)
And I agree completely about Zella Day. I love her voice. I wish she had more songs out, but she's definitely on my must-see list.
Overall, it seems like a very strong (and lovely) group of female artists this year. Kudos to Red Frog on that.

I really dig that remix, but yeah I usually judge EDM artists on their original material before delving into remixes. On that note I haven't heard many of Tycho's remixes either so I guess I need to delve myself a bit further into both their discography. But thanks for the point in the right direction!

On the topic of EDM, who would you see out of this group (in Vegas): Tiesto, Axwell, Flosstradamus, Avicii, Hardwell, Carnage, Major Lazer, DJ Snake, Martin Garrix, Dillon Francis, Borgeous, Clockwork. I left out Guetta and Aoki of course since I doubt anyone is picking them. I can probably only get my friends to check out maybe two.
Yeah this is my first time in VIP and I'm still trying to wrap my head around spending that much too. It was a perfect storm of Paul headlining and a great bonus at work.
