Yeah, 2013 was amazing. Best lineup of any festival in recent years? I think Gov Ball 2014 was flawless.
That fest was amazing no doubt. Lollapalooza 2008 had one of the best festival lineups I have ever seen. Still kicking myself for selling my ticket. Both Coachella and Roo had great lineups in 2012 as well.
So to promote conversation................ what is everyones favorite previous Firefly lineup?
2013. Tom Petty was great. Both Roo and Gov Ball had missed out on Yeah Yeah Yeahs so getting to see them was cool. Also Vampire Weekend put in the best live performance I have ever seen from them.
So Launchpad, is Lolla gonna be yay or nay this year?

I wouldve killed to be at Coachella 2012.
Same I have never been to a Coachella. It always made more sense economically to attend festivals on the east coast. You can easily attend 3-4 festivals over here for the same price tag.
It's subjective but people I know who have attended Coachella have told they still consider Roo the best festival logistically. "Beer jails," various levels of VIP, and an early curfew were cited as the complaints. They do book some great lineups and I'd love to go sometime just to experience it for myself. Maybe eventually.

Ive only been to Firefly, MIA and Gov Ball. Im still a beginner to the music festival scene to say the least. Bonnaroo is the one I want to go to the most in terms of festivals I havent attended.
Don't see what's so funny. That was posted awhile ago and the consensus on here is that the leak posted is just an incomplete version. Like the RedFrog head said, booking artists happens over a long period of time. There is evidence to point towards the leak being real, such as the released artists last night, and DelewareOnline confirming one of the tiny Deleware bands on the lineup.
1-2 anonymous message board users is the evidence that it's fake, yet there have been posters on here claiming that a former Red Frog employee said It is legit.
Knowing this place, I'm sure you think that somebody's Inforoo post count is indicative that their source is more credible, but I assure you that's not the case.
On another note, I'm glad I don't spend my time at festivals with Geeds like you and Rory.
I think it's funny that you think festivals just put together lineup posters with their incomplete lineups.
Question: when the lineup comes out, and some of those acts aren't on there, will you finally admit that it's completely fake?
And I think it's funny that you think someone could actually create that realistic of a mock both with the artists and the graphics.
I don't think it is that strange that festivals put together lineup posters before it's complete, probably to show off for things such as sponsorships, etc. No I won't admit that it's completely fake since artists drop out all the time. When Avicii wasn't on the lineup last year did that mean that what RedFrog put out was fake? Or that it didn't work out before the lineup release date.
On a side note, I can now picture what people with thousands of posts on message boards are like in real life. I've always wondered how someone would get to that point in their life... lol.

Roo is king of kings in my opinion. Even on "off years" you'll still have an experience like no other. I'd highly suggest you take the plunge. You won't be disappointed.

Take a look at this fake Bonnaroo 2014 lineup that gained quite a bit of traction over the internet last year. Wouldn't you say this was also realistic and quite accurate?

The Random tiny Delaware artists and the hits on Bastille and Empire of the Sun (Spoon and RTJ were pretty obvious) are what makes it so for me.
Is some random EDM account really going to look into random tiny Delaware bands along with all the time he would had to have spent designing the graphics for that lineup? For FIREFLY of all festivals?

See, Coachella kills Bonnaroo logistically. Great grounds, amazing weather, permanent toilets, video screens on every tent, the Sahara tent production, the Yuma tent, great art. Yes it ends earlier, but the weather is so great you don't really need late night the way you do at Bonnaroo. I don't like the beer jails, but I'll trade those for everything else, for sure.

I think that one originated from inforoo haha. I'm convinced that the firefly "leak" is just someone who has a little bit of inside knowledge having some fun. I mentioned before but it's missing a few acts I had heard about (although I wouldn't be shocked if those acts just fell through). The font thing sort of sealed it for me. The final lineup is going to be pretty similar though.

Yes? Why is this so hard for you to believe. The reality is it's probably a little bit of both, someone in the know knew a bunch of acts playing and faked the rest for S&Gs, just like people do for every festival every year.

Oh? Please, do tell. What are we like in real life?

I would agree with this. Bonnaroo late night scene is like no other. If you have ever attended a camping festival and enjoyed it then you outta try Bonnarop.
That being said financially and logistically, FF is a lot better this year than Roo for myself. Especially on expected lineup differential.

Right on. I'd love to go sometime and compare for myself.

1) Regarding the artists from Delaware, did it ever occur to you that the person who created/shared this fake might live in Delaware or be a Delaware native? Bastille and EOTS seem more like shots in the dark, but they could also just be fortunate guesses/part of someone's wishlist that actually verified. 2) Yes, people spend hours designing fake lineups for nearly every big festival every year. 3) FIREFLY of all festivals booked Paul McCartney, so that's a big time game-changer for the festival. Who wouldn't be tempted to created a fake lineup with rumors swirling around that they booked McCartney?

It was missing M83... Whose gonna be at Firefly... Right?... Right! (Please say yes)

What are beer jails?
At Coachella you are only allowed to consume alcohol in designated areas. People refer to them as "beer jails."

What are beer jails?
All beer must be consumed inside designated garden areas in the field. They have veiws of the stages, but you can't get too close to any stage with a beer.
There are actually advantages, you get more out of the weekend not getting completely drunk, you save a bunch of money, and douchebags aren't roaming around trashed constantly spilling beer all over you (as much). Plus, you can just sneak in a flask and make a mixed drink.

I don't understand why people continue to argue this. I personally think it was an early version of the lineup and not someone just designing a "fake" one. It obviously won't be exactly the same--which doesn't prove this is fake, just incomplete with maybe some false placeholders. Fortunately, we'll all know soon (hopefully tomorrow.)
