I did a quick count of what we're considering the mock lineup and it was around 105 bands/artists, so I'd imagine there can't be many more. If they're doing the pavilion though, there's a chance more DJs/EDM are taking up the lower half and there's another 5-10 the fill out the lineup (like St. Vincent).
The point I'm trying to make is not the number but the actually artists. This lineup was done very early so I'm saying with dropouts and other situations I only think it's gonna be about 75% accurate. St. Vincent and Elliphant both aren't on there, which leads me to believe they may be replacing people on the leak who dropped.
That's a good point. I can't see a huge number of dropouts, but there's definitely some lineup churn every year. Let's just hope there's a few more St. Vincent's Firefly is holding onto.
I kind of want to go to the Firefly boards and leak the entire lineup just to ruin his day.
I didn't want to add to the people piling on- but then I thought about it. Isn't the whole definition of a moderator to allow others to discuss and debate - interceding in a neutral way to facilitate the discussion and perhaps only deleting posts that are in some way abusive? If so, that's definitely not what's going on over there. I've posted there and had him respond in a negative way and also seen him respond in argumentative or condescending manner to others and only apologize when it's pointed out to him. Only to play the "I apologize if you took it that way" card. I think he has a tough job and is likely an unpaid volunteer and I share his passion for firefly. It's close to my house and is a huge gift to my community - but it only hampers the festival to have someone preventing open convo
Here's hoping they put us out of our misery tomorrow and give us the lineup
I mean, last year they paid for my ticket to go for just being a mod. To some people that might not be much pay but to a broke college student it was an amazing opportunity. He must at least get a free pass, or a discounted VIP pass. My wristband was enough pay for me to deal with whatever.

I think I read last year that he got free vip passes for what he does
I was there at the genesis of all of this firefly nonsense. Before they had a message board myself and a few others (including Mike) all started a page for people to gather. It's a pretty long story I was gonna post but I don't know if it would be against any forum rules, and I know nobody would really care. I just think it's an interesting story.
And free vip? Damn lucky man. He is a great guy, and he's very charismatic. He knows how to network and talk to people, and while some people dislike him and the way he handles his responsibilities, so far he has only been moving upward.
Some food for thought - it looks like from every indication St. Vincent is playing, and we knew that pretty early on. How early of a draft is this lineup to not have included them. I'm thinking it's going to wind up holding 70-75% accurate.
I think it will be much closer to the actual lineup than that. I'm thinking 95%. Spoke with a former RedFrog employee with some connections that seems pretty confident that it is the real deal.

Not to beat a dead horse but I think it's likely to be 95% or so accurate as well. As soon as I saw it the first thing that crossed my mind was "early lineup draft".

Just an observation, but St. Vincent if accurate will be the first band in the Gov. Ball top 20 to overlap with Firefly. Hopefully that number increases a little bit and there aren't proximity clauses for all the bands (headliners excluded of course).

right now she's listed playing thursday on that rhapsody app, i guess we'll find out soon enough!

Would make sense as a Thursday headliner. About the same general area of Local Natives in popularity.
a lot of the message board users have migrated to the firefly fan page, which is pretty active
Came on to say this. I think they do a pretty good job on Facebook connecting to fans with personal emails and updates. Doesn't really take away from the experience I have every year which has been awesome. Mike isn't that bad of a dude. I never had a problem and he follows me and Twitter and facebook lol

Appears Sir Paul is also listed for the 18th (Thurs), so it's just the standard date for those that are actually on the app. And the app only includes the 3 headliners, St. Vincent, Cheerleader, Chiddy Bang

Someone told me a lot of bands just use the first day of festivals they're playing as a placeholder in their schedule as opposed to the actual day they're playing.

Also just putting my two cents in, I love the fake leaked lineup. I'm a big fan of a lot of acts, Spoon is awesome, Modest Mouse, I've seen bastille before and they put on a good show even tho I'm not a huge fan, I think I saw bear hands under lower graphic and added some better reggae rock with dirty heads and sublime. I'm also a big fan of zedd, puts on great shows. I think its a great mix but I'm also a fan of a lot of the acts so maybe biased lol

Spoon is kind of a sleeper; I think a lot of people that see them will end up having it be one of the best shows of the weekend. Even once you get past the top 25 there's some pretty decent depth (not that familiar with EDM). Big Data, Manchester Orchestra, Sturgill Simpson, The Griswolds, Ryn Weaver, Broods, How to Dress Well, Sylvan Esso, Jungle, Benjamin Booker, Bad Suns, Knox Hamilton, Grizfolk, Bear Hands and Twin Peaks are all pretty solid.
I'd still be really shocked not to see The War on Drugs pop up (Philly natives) or Parquet Courts (New York natives). It's possible The War on Drugs is one of the late additions, due to all the press they've received from end of year lists.

agreed. i love a lot of the lower bands. plus firefly has done a good job (a least in my opinion) of adding alot of bands that are about to blow up
It's funny watching you guys get excited about bands on the fake lineup that aren't actually booked.
Seriously, that lineup is a fake. Not a "leak," it's a fake. Yeah, there's plenty on there that are accurate, but it's not hard to do that if you've paid attention to this year's festival lineups.

Bullshit.
You're so certain that you have the lineup and can just flaunt it to anyone... so do it. Put your money where your mouth is dipshit.
Bastille and Empire of the Sun were totally easy to predict based on this year's festival lineups. Great one.

Wait, you actually think that's the real lineup? Really? Even Launchpad, who I absolutely never agree with and never would agree with unless it was the only option, pointed out to you folks how it's not correct.
And no, I'm not as dumb as certain people on this board where I'll put up everything I know and/or gloat about who my source is, because that's how you get cut off.
But please, enjoy the "leaked" lineup. And I can't wait for people to be like "well wait, that leaked lineup had most of the bands right it had to have been legit!!!!!1"
Edit: I mean, you've already identified that Elliphant is on the lineup, yet not on the "leak," yet now the consensus is "OH BUT ITS JUST NOT DONE! EARLY LEAKZ!!!" Yeah, Firefly went to the trouble of having a graphic designed make a mock up of their lineup without having all the bands on it. How much sense does that make?

Not everyone has festival organizers that love them, so until then all we have is our imaginary lineup.

Who freaking cares whether its real or not we will find out tomorrow morning this is the dumbest internet slapfight I've ever seen

Haha, wouldn't it be great if Firefly fucked with everyone who believes the fake lineup is real by intentionally choosing to reveal 4 artists who are on that fake? The fact that 4/5 were on the fake has most people convinced that the fake is indeed real, or at least an unfinished version. If that was intentional on their part, I applaud them for an A+ troll job.

I think the cpmmon theory is that this graphic is an early mock-up of a lineup poster, perhaps to see if they wanted to go with the graphic that was used or something.
Since you are quite adamant that you have a solid source to the real lineup, but (understandably) don't want to break any big names that are going to be on it, how about this? Could you let us know an artist or two that *are* on the fake graphic, but that aren't actually going to be playing the festival? That would really help us out.

For me, Morrissey is the first one who comes to mind. That just seems way too far-fetched.
