Yeah, I'm not holding my breath. This festival showed great potential in 2012 and 2013, but I think they've focused so much on growth that they've neglected quality. And the lack of organization leading up to the festival has been frustrating.
Still no mention of WHEN to expect the schedule. Just fucking put out the draft and say "subject to change." Whatever mike said about people getting more upset by doing that than giving nothing at all...I'm sorry - that just isn't true. That's what most festivals do. So frustrating.

We have enough electronic based acts on Thurs, Ryn and Charli were the only two pop acts I was excited about on Thurs, and now I just have one. I like to switch up genres throughout the day. I think they'll move Tove Lo to Thurs, maybe move Ryn to Sun, or get a replacement in the same field. Since Charli was on the top line, wouldn't they be obligated to get a top tier thurs undercard act? Shit what's Lorde doing? She was originally rumored, and then practically didn't tour at all this year. As much as Icona Pop sucks ass live, I would take them. Or Sky Ferreira? How about Courtney Barnett comes back? There's a lot of options that are free, and if they do nothing...they are lazy.

Agreed 100%. People want the schedule--doesn't bother me if a few things change, that usually happens anyway. I would like to think they've known about XCX dropping out for longer than we have, but even her dropping out is no excuse.
And no updates at all. 17 days left. There should be a schedule and other info/posts virtually every day.
I think Bleachers is a strong possibility to replace Charli XCX. Some other possibilities I could see include War on Drugs (free on Friday if they move a current Fri to Thurs), Tyler the Creator, Penguin Prison, Umphrey's McGee, Nate Reuss, Ratatat, and my dark horse is Fatboy Slim.
Also, long time reader of this thread, finally got around to posting. Thanks for keeping me entertained while dealing with Red Frog's ineptitude everyone.

Hello, welcome!
Meh, of those, I'd only really be down for War on Drugs, Tyler, or Ratatat. It is Firefly though - they'd probably opt for Bleachers or Nate Reuss over those.
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.

Shit if they are thinking Bleachers or Nate Reuss they should just book FUN. Even better book FUN. and Twenty One Pilots so I can see this website explode in to chaos and riots and dumpster fires!!
Yeah, I should note that was what I think is most likely going to happen...in no way a wishlist. Although if it does happen to be Ratatat, I'd be very happy as I was hoping they'd be on the original lineup once Gov Ball booked them. War on Drugs would be solid also.

Can we get a definitive day for what day Client Liaison is on? I thought they were Thursday initially. Then it seemed like they were moved to Sunday maybe? If you go to the lineup page and click on Sunday, they come up there. But if you go to the schedule page for the festival, they're shown as Thursday still.
Captain Kidd was announced as Big Break winner like a week and half ago, and they're on the schedule page graphic, so it has to have been updated sometime since the 22nd. Would they update the graphic to put them on there but not make it accurate with regard to who's playing what day?

I'm starting to wonder about the tickets/passes as well. I feel like 90% of the people haven't even gotten their email yet (including me). I guess they may send many of them in bulk at once but I don't think that was the original plan. It seemed like they would send a bunch at time over the course of May and early June. I mean, there isn't really that much time left. I would hope Firefly doesn't actually send passes with the expected delivery date of 6/17 (as it's written as the latest possible delivery day), or really even any day that week. They have to know people are traveling and won't be able to get their pass. I know I would be pissed if that's when my pass is suppose to arrive.
Somehow I feel like there will be many a Fireflies in line at will call, for one reason or another.
Long time reader of the thread, finally decided to post. I was worried about getting my email as well. I had nothing in my inbox but just decided to search within it for anything from EventSprout and sure enough, there was my shipping confirmation from a couple days back which had just gotten buried deep in spam and gone unnoticed. Same thing happened to me last year, I had to end up calling them and they swore they sent me an email but confirmed my ticket had shipped days earlier.
Hahahaha god the stories just keep piling on, of how much a fail RedFrog is. Honestly, unless they score Radiohead/Daft Punk/Prince next year, I am nottttt giving them my money.

I have a shipping email but it still says basically a label was created but hasn't actually been shipped
Yes, I received FIVE of those emails but the status was label created for several days. Then, it shipped after. I'm glad I got it--one less thing to worry about.
The incompetence of Red Frog is crazy and the fact that they continue to ignore people about the schedule is infuriating. Just hoping it somehow leaks somewhere, because I have no faith we're getting it until week of.

Was out of town this weekend and returned to find my fiancee's wristband without ever getting an email; I know some people on Reddit have mentioned this as well. Bet this will end up being true for a good amount of attendees.
"The Hub Stages Official 2015 Schedule is in! We will be keeping you updated as we finalize the remaining #Firefly2015 schedule. 17 days, #FireflyFam."
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.
This is oddly satisfying... I'll push my schedule demands to tomorrow.
Pretty pumped to go get started early at the hub each day
I'm usually awake around 9AM but there was never a chance I was going to be ready to go at the hub at 10AM. Your a trooper if you can manage that.
I may pop over for Mo Lowda on Thursday Morning, but that's just cause I will end up sitting around again after they are done. I'd like to check out Intergalactix Friday morning, but I doubt I'll make it there for that, hard to say now cause once I am posted up in my campsite at 10 am it may b hard to get my motivation together to check em out.

True. Like most of my scheduling attempts, this is wishful thinking. Talk to me after an 8am microwaved tent awakening and I'll feel differently. I'll probably be sitting in my chair staring at the ground from 8-1130am hoping that food happens.
I'm hoping to catch Leisure Cruise into Intergalactix in the morning, but I think Intergalactix will also be playing inside on Saturday

The real news here: Three sets on Wednesday night. That's new this year, and might encourage some people to arrive earlier. Combined with the expanded hours, at least Premier check-in should go smoothly.
On the topic of tickets: They've always sent out tickets super-late; it's just how they do things. Most people still get them in time, and they've shipped a lot already. I've had my wristband for over a week now.
If you don't get them, Will Call is off-site this year, about 2 miles away. Looking at the map, it seems like a pretty efficient set-up. Much better than the on-site Will Call last year.

Also a lot of people are getting tickets without getting the shipping email. I don't know anyone who I personally know who has gotten the shipping email, but my whole crew has bands.
