Hahahaha because he PROBABLY WON'T SHOW. Color me not surprised.
I'd really like to go to the Nashville show. Last time he was there, I decided not to buy tickets because I figured he would just cancel. Guess what - he did. I don't know why the fuck my favorite artists have to be asshats.
At this point, I be surprised if he actually plays.
I still don't understand why FF booked him. Doesn't really seem like he hits the target demo.
This booking has Goldenvoice's fingerprints all over it. Without their influence/involvement, I don't think he would have been on Firefly's radar.
I guess.
FF is mainly a college crowd from what I am aware of. Morrissey doesn't really appeal to much of a college crowd. Just seems like the money spent on him could have been used more efficiently.
I can say as a college student, I know none of Morrisey's solo work and minimal amounts of The Smiths. There's an almost non-existent chance I see him based off the fact that he'll be in a prime time slot.
Also, not to be negative, but does anyone else feel like this lineup is losing steam fast? I still like it as a whole and am excited for the fest, but the 2 biggest draws were exclusive Morrisey (now playing a full US tour) and Paul (playing Lolla with an exponentially better supporting lineup) sets. Now that those are shot, this lineup really lacks a wow for me. I think it's imperative they give us a few more names to get excited about (Porter Robinson comes to mind as a perfect fit)
They already said they aren't adding any more a few times, I wouldn't be holding out any hope for anything else to be added
Point taken, but let's just remember how many times this festival has flopped in terms of not delivering on what they say publicly.
Agreed, and I'd love for there to be additions made but I'm afraid there won't be. I think their additions last year were arguably a few of the best acts on the lineup it would suck if they didn't add anything this year, I'm just not planning on it

Morrissey is being severely underrated here - if he shows up for you guys of course.
Oh I don't deny that he's an amazing talent and get for the festival. That doesn't change the fact that I'm not personally a fan.
My problem isn't with his seemingly extreme veganism, which I generally agree with. It's just the way he acts like a little whiny shithead about it. There are better ways to explain your views than ruining a concert for people and alienating them. It actually hinders getting your views out. He just seems extremely self-centered and desparately wants to cling to relevancy. He just seems like a drama queen to me. That being said, I'd still like to see him even if he is a shithead.

They've kind of left it open by saying there's "always a chance for last minute additions", but they also said that IF it happened, they would be lower down on the lineup totem pole.

Good morning all! We've had a ton of amazing people at Inforoo that have been supporting us over this past week. We only have two more days left in voting to win our dream wedding at a concert w/Of Monsters and Men, Walk the Moon, Hozier, Death Cab for Cutie, Passion Pit. Awolnation and Vance Joy. We're sitting in the top spot for views, but we aren't sure on votes, so if you are able to spare a second to vote, that would be amazing. Thanks all! You do have the option to skip viewing and go straight to voting.
It's going to be awfully tough to touch Beck, Broken Bells and Big Gigantic for lineup additions, but it could use one more addition in lines 2-4. Porter would be incredible, since we know he has been on Firefly's radar for a couple years.
I am in college. I only like fun, dancy college music. This lineup sucks because it has old people on it. But if Porter Robinson were added it was would THE BEST FESTIVAL LINEUP OF THE YEAR.

I posted something to Firefly's Facebook page a week or so ago about Porter. They said they have had numerous people contact them requesting to add him, and they will pass it along to their talent department (or something like that). I looked right before me that same day someone asked about adding Linkin Park. Their response was very similar but they also added that they didn't have any plans to add any additional acts. Maybe a silver lining that they didn't say they weren't adding additional acts when I asked about Porter? Haha. Man that would be so awesome if they came through and added Porter to close out on Sunday..... I'm not getting my hopes up though. I'll be selfishly hoping Morrissey drops so there is room in the budget though. That would also free up some wiggle room with Friday's schedule. Added bonus

I really didn't like that track Mumfy released, Believe, and don't have much faith that the rest of the album will be significantly better - but I do want to hear how this show tonight is! Hope you have fun.

Haha yeah I saw they were having the on-sale and just decided to try and go for them and was surprised i got through. It sounds like they are playing the new album in full so who knows what to expect. No cell phones/cameras allowed. I'll let you guys know how it is.
