RTJ will probably be right at or before sunset. It's actually the perfect time for them at an outdoor set. It's cooled down enough to jump and move around, and the set usually ends right at dark getting you ready for the rest of the night. Gotten to see them 3 times already this year and will be seeing them a couple more, their sets are just too good.
Hoping for this. RTJ is my #1 and considering I want to see almost all the EDM (save Aoki), I know a RTJ LN set would be a sure fire conflict and probably lead to me seeing them alone.
They could always be the wild card of the festival circuit and throw them on late. But seeing as you have Paul, Modest Mouse, Zedd, ODESZA, DJ Mustard, Kygo etc. that will most definitely not be playing in day light that night and will be taking up the two main stages, then it seems RTJ stays around their normal sunset slot. Logic could possibly be your one late night rap choice thrown to the dogs on a smaller stage while the previously mentioned acts take in the big crowds.

Well what is considered "daylight" here? Paul will get the main slot of course, but I can see Kygo and Modest Mouse - maybe even Odesza (which would make me so sad) - in sunset slots, before Paul. Ugh I bet two of those three will definitely conflict. I'm upset about the thought but should probably get myself prepared for it.
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 agree with you. I could easily see a RTJ-MM-Kygo super conflict in the works.
Wow if Aoki cancels and they find a replacement (almost any replacement, really), I'd be very happy. But I doubt this will bleed over into late June.

No question just as Bonnaroo has the Deadmau5/RTJ/EWF/Superjam conflict, Firefly could easily have something along the lines of what you said. Not to mention it would probably conflict with being within a mile of Paul McCartney's set.

Didn't even think about that. Personally, while I'm excited for Paul, there's no shot I'm missing a strong pre-HL to camp out. I'll work my way over to the main stage at some point and just hang around the back so I can leave a little early and secure some prime LN real estate.

Absolutely same. I'm sure that whatever is on before Paul will be an act I really don't want to miss, so I'm not going to. Not worth it to me camping out for hours just to get a slightly better spot - when honestly, all the truly GOOD spots will already be snagged by camper-outers by mid afternoon probably.

So much irony in this. Aoki damages his vocal cords for incessant yelling...one of the many things a lot of people don't like about his shtick.
I feel like this is an injury that could easily take a longer than anticipated recovery. I am by no means wishing him a lengthy recovery but I could see him having to drop out of Firefly. I wonder who would be realistically available for replacement?

If he bailed it'd probably be a last minute thing, which means we're probably looking at no replacement or another DJ.
This may have been discussed before, but whats your guys opinions on The Killers Sunday Night. Historically theres always been rival headliners on Sunday but do you guys really think theyll put someone up against them and if so who do you think.
I would prefer they didn't but based off the schedule Id guess itd be Killers vs Snoop?

After what happened with Sam Smith, you never know how things might turn out. If he does drop out and they're looking for a replacement, they should give either Caribou or Cut Copy a call. As of this moment, both have Firefly weekend open. Both would be upgrades and probably cost less than Aoki.

Based on past history, I'm sure Firefly would find a replacement. Every time an act has dropped out, there's been a replacement. Earl Sweatshirt canceled at the last minute in 2013, and was replaced by Schoolboy Q. The Lumineers dropped out at the same time, and were replaced by Ben Harper. The only time Firefly didn't replace a drop-out was Sky Ferreira, and she canceled on the same day she was supposed to perform.

I would imagine that Snoop is going to pre-headline the main stage. It wouldn't surprise me if they let The Killers close out Sunday given their history with Firefly.

Don't get me all excited and optimistic - if they booked Caribou, goddamn i'd be elated.
As for The Killers closing out on Sunday, I imagine they'll be unopposed. Killers vs Snoop would be sad, though I'd for sure go with the former.

2014 was the first time someone played opposite the Sunday headliner. The Black Keys (in 2012) and Foster the People (in 2013) both played unopposed.
I'd be surprised if they put someone against The Killers, especially Snoop. I'd much rather have someone play opposite Kings of Leon on Saturday.

Yeah, I don't mean to take the wind out of these sails, but there's still a 95% chance we'll be getting caked in June. And even if he pulls out, I feel like it's likely we'll see an Aoki-like cheese act replacing him

Oh, there's almost zero chance they would do that even if Aoki canceled. I don't have much faith in this festival to pull off something like that, let alone reach out to acts like Caribou and Cut Copy. I only hope that next year they take a similar approach to 2013 when they book the lineup, rather than take the lazy route and book dozens of generic indie-pop acts that all sound the same.

Is sunset around 8:30 that time of year? I'd say anything starting after that. Kygo and ODESZA would make the most sense to play after Paul somewhere, if anyone does. Friday has to have the most conflicts of the weekend seeing with those first 3 lines.
Gov. Ball and Lolla schedules coming tomorrow. Have to think FF is right behind em.
I'm still thinking next week at the earliest, but I hope I'm wrong. Cool that Lolla is doing it so early.
EDIT: Firefly still saying the schedule will be "released closer to the festival" which is quite vague and means they have no idea when themselves. Kind of concerned for what is holding it up, since Mike G said it was done and something had to be changed.
