I would say ____ and Osheaga. Personal preference for that lineup, plus I've never been to Montreal and badly want to go. In the blank I'd put FF/Lolla if you have never seen McCartney and are worried about finances, and Roo if you aren't.
Personally for me, D'Angelo being added to Roo was a game changer. I'm so bummed I can't go due to a work conflict. Crossing fingers that D'Angelo would be added to FF even though I realize there's probably no chance.
Hey guys, now that McCartney is at Lolla I'm planning on selling my Firefly pass. I live in Chicago, so it just makes a lot more sense to go to Lolla. I'll be bummed out on missing Snoop and all that good stuff. Anyways, if any of you guys have a friend that's still looking for a ticket. I'd totally be willing to sell mine.
CAGE
I know man, I know, damn I could see them an endless number of times they're so good. But luckily the alternative radio station in the city puts on a one day festival. Cage will be co-headlining with The Offspring in June so I'll get to see them then.

I really like the Osheaga lineup a lot. It's probably my favorite of all the lineups I've seen. Plus I've never been to Canada and would like the chance to go.
For me FF is just too easy to pass up. Proximity and the camping element do it for me.
I also like osheaga's lineup a lot, very solid all the way through for my tastes, only issue is a lack of big headliner. Lolla achieves that, but I don't think it's worth all the added cost. Osheaga and Firefly seem to have the least amount of overlap and also the least amount of total driving. Bonnaroo/Firefly combo is nice because they are back to back so I could hit Firefly on the way back from roo making it likely the cheapest option. Osheaga and Roo have some overlap, no paul, and would be an expensive option. I think my only choice is to do all three.
If you guys could choose two out of four between roo, lolla, ff, and osheaga, which would you do coming from the Boston area? I'm trying to get the best bang for my buck without too much overlap. all things equal I would probably choose lolla and roo, but they are the two furthest away and likely to cost me the most. I also don't like the idea of how conflicted lolla is ending at 10. decisions, decisions
Osheaga looks amazing this year. I would say do either that and FF or that and Roo. Lolla is far from you AND then you have to factor in hotel and general expenses of chilling in an expensive city for a weekend (food, drinks, etc.), so that would probably end up being the worst in terms of getting the best bang for your buck. This will be my first FF so I can't speak to the environment really, but Roo has an incredible, unparalleled vibe. However, that's quite the trek from Boston... If I were you, I would likely end up doing FF and Osheaga. In a perfect world, switch out Roo for FF - but the monetary cost would definitely be way higher.

If they added Porter and then another Beck-sized act to the lineup, I would be significantly more excited for this fest. Porter and The Flaming Lips would be ideal for me; anybody else care to speculate at who it could be if they did add a couple acts?

Adding Porter to close actually makes a lot of sense. He dropped out last year, which usually means a rain check for the next year based on the previous acts that cancelled. He had two dates in June scheduled that have question marks. Sunday EDM this year is pretty weak, especially compared to the other days and past years on Sunday (Martin Garrix and Big G last year). I mean White Panda the top billed EDM for the day? There's no way that holds. I think it's a very real possibility, albeit a hopeful and optimistic one.

I want it just because I don't think I can handle White Panda closing. It already makes me sad that they basically consolidated the EDM to mostly friday and some saturday, but having white panda close would be such a shitty way to end the festival

If they do additions I see them doing it after the $299 tickets sell out to make a push for the last 2 levels at the higher price. I also suspect we'll see single day VIP tickets for sale closer to the festival if they don't sell out on their own. Looking at the website and their facebook posts it looks like they were pretty specific in stating "no single day general admission" tickets will be sold.

Anyone that wants to see Big Data tonight I have an extra ticket. It's at Black Cat in DC. I forgot I bought two tickets (they were only like $20). Friend can't go. I'll be there.
I don't buy it, I'm expecting a few additions. I think FF learned not to promise anything after the lineup debacle and that's why they're insisting that no one is going to be added.

Hmmmmmmmmmm might take you up on this. What time? I'm just so bad at motivating myself to do things on Friday nights with weather like this haha

Here comes my finest Mike impression:
My girlfriend and I entered the Radio 104.5 video contest to win a wedding, with Of Monsters and Men, Hozier, Passion Pit, Death Cab for Cutie, Walk the Moon, Awolnation and Vance Joy. If any of you are in the Philly area, we'll definitely be sure to set aside some extra tickets.
If each of you can take literally one minute out of your day to vote for Sara & Josh (video with the guitar playing puppy) we'd be beyond grateful. You can vote once a day until April 5th. Right now, we're second in views out of eighteen videos. Thanks all!

Shows sold out, need an extra ticket for a friend. I'll vote for you regardless. But be sure to think of me if you can hook me up ;-)
Consider it done. If we win I'll make sure to save one. Thanks for the vote! We had a mom kind enough to sell her tickets at face value when they were selling for double on Stubhub, so I try to pay it forward where I can.

I don't mean to be that guy giving shameless plugs, but I promised my girlfriend a wedding. It looks like we had a good number of votes come in, so thank you for those who did (you can vote once a day until April 5th).
We'll definitely set aside some extra tickets for people local to Philly for show (Of Monsters and Men, Walk the Moon, Hozier, Death Cab, Awolnation, Passion Pit and Vance Joy)
Sara & Josh w/video with guitar playing pup (technically you don't even have to watch it to vote) Thanks again!
I saw Big Data earlier in the week. It was a pretty fun time. Enjoy!
Down at Bowery?
Me and you probably cross paths at a lot of shows. You may have seen me actually. My buddy broke his wrist and was wearing a giant foam sling on his arm. Looked like a foam finger in the shape of a shoe.
Anyway, Big Data was a real good time. Fun, danceable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the cover of Private Eyes.

Big Data was a great time last night. Wasn't as awkward of a dancer as I thought based on the videos I saw, but still funny. They actually had more energy than I was expecting. I think they will do great with a mid afternoon set at Firefly, the crowd will definitely get into their vibe. I'll see them again at Kerfuffle in May, so unfortunately given how stacked Friday is I'll probably have to sacrifice them at FF. Oh well.
