Just for the hell of it I switched a bunch of things around so RTJ would be late night just to see how it would look. I actually changed a lot, but that was the decisive move.
Ugh that Ryn/Jungle conflict on Thursday would make me pretty fucking sad - I would actually prefer Kooks/Jungle conflict, because I think Jungle and Ryn are my top two for Thursday, with Tycho and the Kooks as third and fourth respectively. Some combo of those four is obviously going to conflict with each other, but I would be most bummed if Jungle & Ryn do. I'm still going with Jungle no matter what though.
For Friday, I LOVE the idea of Morrissey v. MM (with me getting up close for MM of course), but I don't believe FF will do it, sadly. Odesza > RTJ would make me so fucking happy, wow. Wouldn't even mind skipping Zedd for that back-to-back combo.
I like what you've done with Saturday, hardly any conflicts for me there - not super surprising though given that we all mostly agree that Saturday is the weakest day. Joe Pug v. Andrew McMahon would be tough, Milo Greene bleeding into Spoon isn't ideal for me, and it would be a game time decision w/ SNBRN v. Matt and Kim. Those are my only conflicts with Saturday as you have it though. Not bad at allllll.
And then Sunday is the worst conflict-wise. Cathedrals v. Hey Rosetta! v. Bad Suns would be a tough call - I like them all but don't have a super strong leaning towards one. Broods v. Cold War Kids is a rough one for me, as is Tove v. Snoop.
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.

The more I think about it, what is Firefly's demographic? It certainly isn't Morrissey fans. I'd bet a hot majority don't even know who he is. Then you think about McCartney who is a big name obviously but at the same time many young fans aren't really into older rock music. To go from Morrissey to Paul would leave a long gap at the main stage that a good portion of the crowd wouldn't be all that ecstatic about. Would they actually move Morrissey off the main stage? I don't know. To me it makes sense for who will be at the festival. I guess we'll see.
I honestly cannot imagine that they'd move Morrissey from the main stage, even though I do understand your point about the main demographic etc. etc. If they tried to do that, he'd likely just back out haha (which might happen anyway of course!)

Yea if there is anything that is pretty much universal (aside from those that are die hard Morrissey fans) it is that Morrissey just fucks everything up on Friday schedule wise, assuming he is before Paul. Then again, imagine Morrissey into Kings of Leon...

are we thinking that KOL are going to be playing unopposed anywhere else like (correct me if I'm wrong) Outkast was as the Saturday headliner last year? I'd really like to see somebody else during that time if possible because while I think KOL definitely has some really solid songs, their whole library to me is kinda meh

Agreed. Would love for a great undercard act to oppose them so I could hit that up instead. It isn't like I plan to actively avoid KoL but definitely don't feel impassioned to see them

I'm pretty sure it was late May last year. The faq on Firefly's website says "A daily schedule will be posted in April or May" so maybe we'll get lucky and it will be out soon, I highly doubt it though. I am expecting mid to late May and anything sooner will be a pleasant surprise.

Yeah I feel the same about this as I felt about the lineup release. Let's just hope they don't screw it up like they did that

Schedule delayed, Morrissey refuses to play on anything but Main Stage. Morrissey moved to main stage. Morrissey demands vegan only food served by main stage. Delay continues. Morrissey then just cancels anyway.

Should we start these funs things again.
Not sure why some of you waste so much time and energy worrying about this. It's inevitable, so just embrace it. Besides, Morrissey is arguably the second most influential artist on this lineup. As long as he shows up and doesn't pull any absurd stunts, his presence should be among the least of anyone's concerns about the lineup.

Hah I'm not worried about it I'm just having fun with the subject/idea. I remember we had a whole page of fake reasons why Firefly's lineup got delayed. It was hilarious.

Gotcha. Sorry if that came across as abrasive. I've just seen so much complaining about Morrissey in this thread over the last few months. I'm not a huge fan of him myself, but most of those people haven't even given his music a fair listen. Carry on.

Yea I probably fall into that category. But I complain mostly for selfish reasons... I.E. his timeslot will cause a ripple effect that will have several of the artists I really want to see conflict.

I've given it a fair listen and it is just meh to me. I would have preferred the money to be spent elsewhere.
Also I think it is fair to be able to recognize the legacy and talent of Morrissey without personally possessing any desire to see him perform - especially not in lieu of an act im passionate about seeing.

Got an email from firefly today with another contest requesting people have their friends buy tickets through 4/24 at the $299 price point so they likely will go up after then. It also had a camping breakdown and said 96% of premier tent camping is sold so if anyone is thinking about switching or buying an extra site now is the time

Be crazy to buy a ticket right now for "face-value" price. There have been multiple people on the FF message board that I have been trying to unload tickets for $250 a piece. Within three weeks you will start seeing people trying to get rid of them at $225.
Oh I agree with you. I don't think they are going to hit the sellout numbers they expected. Just passing along the tidbit about premier camping because I know that can actually sell out
