"Hi Billy, we don't have any set date in mind to announce the schedule-- otherwise we'd definitely tell you guys when to expect it. We know you guys are excited, though appreciate you hanging in there."
-Remember when they said late April/early May. LOL. This delay was too easy to predict...
At least I got my wristband, but yeah 21 days to go--who knows when we'll get the schedule, not even FF, but I can't wait and really want to plan out my days
If they try to pull a Coachella (but uhhh of course without actually BEING COACHELLA, a huge fucking discrepancy between the two festivals and their merit/value in the festival world) and announce it just before the festival starts... god I'm just so over this festival's management. I will go and have fun and all that, but I'm already looking forward to Roo next year and not dealing with this RedFrog BS anymore haha
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.

Highly doubt they'll wait to the last week, but who the hell knows. They were so terrible with their lineup release and now a month--a full month past saying late april as a possibility is just flat out unacceptable.

If FF was trying to decrease the excitement level leading up to the festival, they have done that for me. Just don't care as much as I did. The lack of any kind of meaningful communication from them is just pitiful.
Guess I will be excited again the week of the festival.

Yea the email was basically an advertisement to buy a pass, not really an update to anyone that had one already. They could say something about the new stages they have this year, maybe tell us who will be at the coffeehouse stages, etc. Tons of stuff to talk about but oh well.
RedFrog is a laughable mess of an organization. They have my money for this year but they will not be receiving it again. and I hope they realize that a lot of people feel this way

Firefly could be very well respected in the festival community if RedFrog did even a mediocre job. Yet, here we are. Sadly, as a college student with limited money, the proximity and affordability will probably have me coming back for year 4 next year.
This mess kinda makes me glad I'm going to Roo, or EDC next year. There is just too many empty promises with Red Frog. The fact the two tickets I purchased haven't been shipped worries me as well.

One of the best examples of how terrible RF is at communicating is that on the "News" section of their app the most recent news is from 4 months ago! Also it's the only thing! I seriously don't understand if they know anything about social media or keeping customers well informed but I'm already looking forward to giving Roo my money next year instead of this clusterfuck of a company. And I don't even care too much about the schedule not being out yet it's just all the uncertainty and lack of any sort of direction/communication that annoys me

My favorite was when they released the lineup by accident on the app with Paul McCartney's name on it then later when they officially announced the lineup his name was blurred out lol
Alright, I am not defending Red Frog or anything, as it seems they've shot themselves in the foot with everything leading up to the fest this year by making dates and then not delivering, you would think they would have learned their lesson from the lineup debacle but it seems they have not. I am starting to get anxious for the schedule, but we are still 3 weeks out, and once we are all settled into our campsites with cold beer and fat joints in hand, none of this will even matter.
I am going to gov ball next weekend and they still haven't even updated their app from last year. Red Frog has def dropped the ball the last few months, but I am still looking forward to having an awesome time with awesome people.
3 more weeks til we can all forget about the shit red frog has pulled, 3 more weeks!

I think everyone here is in the same boat. I'm going down with 20 or so friends and couldn't be more excited. I know it's going to be an awesome weekend, it's just that RedFrog should be adding to that excitement not taking away from it, which is how and a lot of others on here feel.

Of course we will all still have fun etc etc, but what about the people also going to Roo and wanting badly to be able to pick out which conflicts to miss vs see there, in relation to what they can catch at FF instead? Idk. If it was JUST the schedule delay or JUST the lineup delay or JUST their terrible communication....but all of it together, makes quite a bad impression for the festival.

Very well said. Red Frog has always been terribleat pre-festival communication. This year is extra-rough with the lineup and schedule delays.
But they've built Firefly up to a 90,000-person music festival in 3 years. That's pretty impressive.
The actual festival always goes smoothly. All of this will be (mostly) forgotten as soon as we get to the Woodlands.

Ohh don't get me wrong, I completely agree and think that the schedule should already be out, or at the very latest be out by tomorrow. Just trying to keep every bodies spirits up!

Yea, I agree. Maybe the reason I'm not super fired up is cause I'm not a stranger to Red Frog's ways of communication, but despite what seems like a child that runs their social media and their terrible communication, somehow they still manage to pull off the festival quite well.
I'm almost picturing the social media/communication aspect is just run by their interns and they don't have a clue what they're doing either. Not saying that it's right, but it wouldn't surprise me.
white panda just posted that they're closing out the festival
Ugh. White Panda is fun, but more "drunk on the second night partying hard" fun than closing out the festival fun. The last act of a festival should be someone higher on the card than what 53rd if I remember right?

Well looks like I can expect EOTS to conflict with Snoop with this awful news of white panda closing out FF. Saw them at Lolla, and they were pretty average. I must be missing something? Should I stay after Killers, or just head back to Rochester and beat the rush lol? This is my first experience with Firefly, I decided to skip Roo because my buddy got a coaching opportunity in SC, and he's always had his eyes set on FF, so me, him, his girl, and others are going. We are still very excited but with a delayed schedule, makes me think someone dropped out(please GOD AOKI), Morissey is demanding we go Vegan for 4 days in the blistering sun, or who knows. Still I've never seen an organization post sales updates? That's so off putting, and their app sucks. As a newbie, we should have a sense of what to expect! We got a GB, Lolla, and Roo schedule before FF, and a riot fest release? Give us something Red Frog! Man....

Honestly, I think this is just Firefly rewarding White Panda for doing the lineup video mix every year.
You won't be "beating the rush" by leaving after The Killers. That will be the worst traffic, for sure. The only way to avoid exit traffic is to leave before the headliner, or stay 'til Monday morning.
If a band had actually dropped out, I think they would've already been removed from the lineup on the website. They have moved some bands on the day-by-day lineup, so you can kind of see what's going on.

What do you see changed on the Daybyday? It looks the same to me.

Ugh I am so freaking mad about this. Like, why would this ever be a thing? They're a mash up group! They don't even make their own music!!! And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they are even mashing the songs live! This infuriates me to no end Big G was perfect last year, The Killers or EOTS would have been perfect this year, why the hell do they keep rewarding a half rate mashup group that really isn't even relevant anymore? I seriously don't understand who's in charge at Red Frog but theyre a bunch of morons

i wonder if the people at red frog know that theyre constantly fucking up, or if theyre just sitting in their office chairs with their fingers in their noses.
What do you see changed on the Daybyday? It looks the same to me.
Since the original Day-By-Day lineup:
Wolf Alice - Added to Friday Client Liaison - Moved Thursday to Sunday Panama Wedding - Moved Friday to Thursday Matoma - Moved Friday to Saturday Hey Rosetta! - Moved Sunday to Thursday
