Some friends of mine saw them on spring break recently and it's all they've been taking about since. I may catch them at Terminal 5 this month to see what all the hype is about.
I'm seeing the Chainsmokers Tomorrow night. I'm pretty freaking excited for it! Not because I love the Chainsmokers, but because Matt and Kim is opening for them
Wow that's a really awesome pair to see in one night! Definitely jealous!

It's at Georgetown in DC but it sold out Tuesday I think
I actually hope it's Chainsmokers vs. Aoki. I have a good feeling about Chainsmokers set.
I don't see this happening. In my opinion, they built a DJ specific stage for a reason...and I would think that it would be to put all the DJs there. I think there will be limited time in between sets and it will be like an EDM festival within a festival.
It's a great way to use a positive form of segregation. For those that are attending just for EDM, have a place for them to spend their time in one location.
If I had to predict anything, it would be The Chainsmokers coming on before Aoki, as if it is some order of precedence within the music label.
I could be entirely off base, this is just what makes sense to me if I was organizing a festival.
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.

I disagree. While I can see it being primarily EDM, I'm sure it won't be exclusively DJs. Also I don't see Zedd, Aoki, or Chainsmokers getting stuck in there based off their billings, they'll probably be Lawn/Backyard acts.
Also, hoping for some EDM on the Forest stage this year. Really feel like FF dropped the ball on that one last year, I think RAC was the closest we got to that.

most fests dedicate the tent to hip hop/edm and youll find some other the higher billed like maybe Zedd or Aoki acts on a better stage. I wouldnt expect anything different here either.

Agreed. There are quite a few DJs/electronic acts on the lineup, and I expect most of them to be playing that pavilion tent.

I can agree that Zedd and Aoki will probably get bigger stages. I just can't see EDM being pitted against EDM.

Anyone think Firefly is going to have their own featured snapchat since Coachella does? I know its nowhere as big but the connected partnerships, maybe.

Agreed on all counts. The way the lights played off those trees on the Forest stage was awesome I really wanted to see some cool, visually stunning EDM act on that stage.

unfortunately i have a feeling a good bit of the undercard is gonna be screwed for me and will be playing against my favorite acts, i can see chiddy bang vs cage the elephant, modest mouse vs bear hands, kid cud vs dirty heads, spoon vs vacationer, snoop vs benjamin booker, all of which would have me quaking depressed. can someone please try and tell me this won't happen and cheer me up.

Chiddy vs. Cage would be awful. I love cage live but I've seen them enough times(4) to justify skipping them for chiddy
Also why does everyone hate Aoki so much. His remix of Pursuit of Hapiness is insane. I think his set will be what you make of it. If you go in thinking it's gonna suck it'll probably suck, but if you go in with an open mind I think itll be a blast.

Honestly, I too enjoy some of his music. The Pursuit of Happiness Remix, No Beef and even Beatdown ft. Iggy Azalea are all solid EDM. But here's the problem, Steve Aoki shows are NOT about the music. He gets a lot of hate, because in many ways he is the face of "press play" DJs. People don't realize that his sets are timed to the second, even remarks that he will make mid set are scripted. He times his set strictly so he can focus on gimmicks that create a high energy, "rave" atmosphere. A lot of people eat that shit up, but from a purely musical perspective you could emulate a Steve Aoki set at home by blasting Pandora and baking a cake.

I'll try and help: Chiddy is fun live (from when I saw him like six years ago) but nothing spectacular. Between those, definitely opt for Cage. Bear Hands are also good live but NOTHING like MM. I don't see Snoop vs Benjamin happening though it could. To the others, I don't have a strong opinion. But yeah this is bound to happen to me too - I like a lot of the undercard but won't be wanting to miss my favorite top line acts to see them. It'll be a lot of gametime decisions for me I think.

Matt and Kim blew me away with how much of a party they could throw in a 45 minute set and although I wish they played more of their new stuff it was a hell of a time.
Chainsmokers was also a lot of fun and I highly recommend their set at firefly because if it's anything like it was last night I feel everyone in this thread will be pleased as punch.
All the above being said I'm sore from too much dancing and it hurts to walk today.
Chiddy live is awesome, hopefully he does a freestyle during the set. Would be cool if they joined Aoki to perform Emergency cuz Chiddy killssss it on that

ya I've seen cage twice and they were amazing, but i feel a need to see chiddy. and i would opt for MM cause i have seen bear hands twice, its all just nerve racking.
Firefly updated the camping times. Looks like Premier can now check in as early as noon on Wednesday and it appears they will continue load-in overnight up until 6AM Thursday which is when GA camping opens.
I also watched part of Run the Jewels from the Coachella webcast and am now looking forward to them more than I already was.
Oh that is great news! Surprised it starts as early as noon on Wednesday though. Does that mean those earliest arrivers will get the best premier spots?

Can't imagine anybody wanting to get their that early. The opening bands on Thursday won't come on till around 5:30 ish.
Prob drive up to Richmond on Wednesday night to stay with my brother, head to Dover Thursday morning. I will prob stay with him again Sunday night to break up the trip.
The majority of what I want to see is on Friday/Saturday. Actually, out of my top 10 the only band not playing on Friday or Saturday is The Kooks.
1. Sir Paul 2. Run the Jewels 3. Modest Mouse 4. Kid Cudi 5. Spoon 6. Foster the People 7. Glass Animals 8. The Kooks 9. Sturgill Simpson 10. Cage the Elephant

This is helpful as load in time will go until 6am. I was worried about arriving close to midnight since I have to work on Wednesday.
