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.
Gman just saw your post. I love Vegas. Base it on the club not the DJ especially if you've never been. My favorite set I ever saw in Vegas was actually DJ AM at Rain 2 months before his passing.

Yea I've never been, or as an adult anyway. I'll be there for four nights so plenty of options. Only so much of it will be in my control but I'll probably ultimately decide on who to see so I figured I'd get some opinions.

Yeah I could go on and on about Vegas. I'm working on getting back out there this year too. If you want to get a lot of great club information go to www.jackcolton.com/ If you are going with a group of guys just be well dressed, break down into smaller groups and get there early. If you have a 50:50 ratio of girls/guys you should also have no issue.
Lastly.... Spearmint Rhino- call them in advance, they'll pick you up in a limo for free and you get free cover- just tip your driver.
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.
Out of those, Dillon probably. But isn't kaskade in Vegas right now too? If so, I say kaskade. That was a fucking fun set at Roo last summer.
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.

Yea I've seen Dillon multiple times, otherwise he'd be an easy choice. Kaskade won't be there when I'm there.

I'l probably go for Tiesto, Garrix, or Avicii. I've heard Dillon can be hit or miss sometimes. I wanted to go to Borgeous when he was in DC not too long ago but I couldn't justify it.

Work hard play hard.
You won't regret it, especially this year with McCartney.
Has anyone seen Gary Clark JR live, because I'm planning on skipping Foster the People for him, if it comes down to it based on this mock. Saw Foster in 2012 at Downsview Park in Toronto, and I thought they were fantastic. Saw them at Lolla 2014, and I thought they were pretty bland and lacking energy. That new album just rubbed me the wrong way.
The Bear Hands vs Big Data conflict would suck, because I'm from Rochester, NY. It's the same city that the singer Dan Armbruster, singer in Big Data/Joywave is from. I've met him and had a few drinks in the past. Is Big Data worth skipping for Bear Hands?
Man I really hope it's not Tycho vs Kooks, Tycho's ambient sound is right up my alley, but I missed Kooks at Lolla last year because they played against Lorde. That would be a tough pick.
Betty Who vs Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness would suck. Two acts I'm excited for on a rather uneventful Saturday. On the plus side, I saw Betty Who at Lolla last year and she was a surprise set. She really got the crowd amped, and could sing very well. Of the pop stars on the lineup, she's got the whole package. Now on the other side, I've seen Jack's Mannequin live and Andrew McMahon led that band: they were fantastic live. Chances are Andrew might throw in some JM tunes in the set. Tough!
For some reason the Allison Wonderland tracks won't play on the Firefly radio. Can someone suggest some quality mixes from that act, so I can avoid Aoki at all costs lol.
Lastly, could someone please give me a run down of stages size wise.
Stages go Firefly (main), Backyard & Lawn are both very similar in size, The Porch is pretty small, same with Forest. The Pavilion will be a new stage this year but expected to be dedicated to EDM.
Just go to google images and search "Backyard stage Firefly" etc and you'll find plenty of photos

Yes - he's really good. At Gov Ball two years ago he really rocked it, crowd was a little lackluster but kind of expected for a blues guitarist most people haven't listened to or heard of. Also saw him in Central Park in September and once again was really good. The crowd was clearly there for him so they were feeling it a little more. The only issue I could see for some people (not me) would be the possibility of too many covers or too long of a solo during a festival set.
Full disclosure I've seen Foster the People, too. Would definitely be a tough call if they were to conflict, would probably make a game time decision and base if off of who I was seeing before and after.

I think it's still possible that GCJ could play earlier, and I'm pretty sure FTP will be on the Main later, so maybe this conflict won't happen. There were a lot of performances at Lolla last year of acts I've seen that were just going through the motions, such as FTP and Fitz. They were exhausted by the time Aug came around haha. So maybe since FTP isn't playing as many this year, the performance could reflect that. Can't wait for the schedule.

Bear Hands are a lot of fun live, but if you feel attached to Big Data, go for that! Bear Hands is just starting to gain steam as a band, so I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities to see them live in the next year.
I too will be very sad if it is Tycho vs Kooks - I would really just need to see how I'm feeling at that moment and make the call. I've been into the Kooks for a while and never seen them live but Tycho is just such a cool sound and vibe.
Dude, I went through such a big Jacks Mannequin phase in high school; I'm surprised Andrew McMahon hasn't been discussed more around here. I'm excited for that set, and I actually really like his solo stuff - but if he whipped out Mixed Tape or Dark Blue, I'd be reaaaaal happy.
Alison Wonderland is great! Check out "Cold," "I Want You," and "Lies." I think "Lies" is my personal fave of theirs:

Big Data is around too, I'll be seeing him/them twice before Firefly. I'll admit, my mock is somewhat biased based on how I would prefer it to go lol.
Also, who do you guys think will make coffee house appearances? Eventually I'll get around to adding that in. It'd help to have a list though because that is probably pushing beyond what my knowledge would allow me to even guess. I was thinking Walk the Moon would hop over like Grouplove did, Joe Pug, Andrew McMahon, How to Dress Well....?

So this Coffee House is a smaller stage where bigger names will do short sets, or what's the deal with it?
Coffee house they actually sell coffee in and they have some seating during the day. It's a smaller stage and it's usually a 2nd set of the weekend for a more intimate vibe. Mostly smaller bands but last year the biggest names were Grouplove, American Authors, Iron & Wine, and Jake Bugg. I caught part of Grouploves coffee house set while waiting for Beck and it was great. This isn't the best video but gives you an idea how close you can really get to the bands.
So this Coffee House is a smaller stage where bigger names will do short sets, or what's the deal with it?
Yeaa its a smaller stage under a tent, some artists will play a second acoustic show there. I caught Grouplove's set there last year and it was a lot of fun, they took song requests and really interacted with the crowd during it. I never actually went earlier in the day but they do serve coffee too, as you would expect since it is called the coffee house lol. Most of the sets there are usually 30 min, but looking at last years schedule, Grouplove had a 45 minute set on Saturday, and Jake Bugg had an hour long set on Sunday.

Wow, that's really neat - I dig it. Since some bigger names do a small set there, is it super hard to get a spot for those shows? I would imagine it might be.
I could really see Sylvan Esso, Broods, and/or BORNS performing a short show there. All sets I would absolutely want to make it to.
Also, has anyone listened to Wild Party much? Just now digging into them, and if you're a Walk the Moon fan, I recommend - somewhat similar vibe of feel-good pop rock music.

I showed up to Grouplove about 10 min into their set and it was pretty crowded so we ended up in the grass right outside of the tent, but it still wasn't a terrible view and the sound was still good. I imagine though if you show up a 10-15 min before a set though you should be able to get a pretty solid spot, depending on the band of course too.

Sylvan Esso would be perfect for the Coffee House. I didn't go last year, but I would be down to check it out this year, especially if SE is performing.

I'm so so excited for SE's set, but I have a feeling it will be CRAZY crowded, so if they got a Coffee House show too, that'd be amazing. I can't get enough of her voice and dance moves (sorry I like posting so many vids haha but it keeps the thread interactive!)
Man, if they got a night set and got to do a cool lights show....

I plan to make it to a majority of the coffeehouse shows, even though we don't know who the artists will be yet. It's just a really great, intimate vibe, and it surprisingly easy to get a good spot. At least it has been the past 2 years. Just show up 15 minutes before they go on, like others have said. Definitely worth making time for.

Her dance moves are the epitome of feelin it.
