Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Cool. Welcome, welcome. This whole board is full of really cool people with a shit ton of knowledge. Stick around and familiarize yourself. You'll get used to our sense of humor. Maybe? I mean it's full of some asswarts too but that can't be helped.
I think it's hilarious that one of the main people at the Firefly board ran everyone off. How sad. Did he not believe the people here saying it was Paul?
He would always say (paraphrasing) "you people are so desperate for lineup information, you'd believe anything right now!" It seemed like the only kind of speculation allowed was the ridiculously unrealistic type, and anytime someone claimed to have a source on something legit, he would do whatever he could to shut it down. Facilitating conversation was not his strong point.
That's pretty much why I'm here. I never posted over there, but I'd follow along and he did a pretty good job of shutting down discussions. That and the superior "I work for the festival and I know what to believe and you don't" attitude. Seems a pretty bad way of running your official message board. Seems to have driven a lot of people away.
Greetings! I've recently switched over to this thread for information about firefly(seeing how the 'new and improved' 2015 message boards are a complete joke), I'm looking forward to some friendly (and not so friendly) banter!

Welcome! Just remember absolutely any speculation about the lineup will result in an immediate ban.

I am REALLY hoping for modest mouse and Tame Impala. I literally just bought Lonerism for a small road trip and love it. If we can get some overlap from some of the lesser names from Forecastle (COUGH* Son Lux) I would be really happy.

Modest Mouse is almost a lock. New album, the date is open, and they're not at Roo or Gov Ball. Plus they were on that "leak."

Son Lux was at FF last year so I'd probably say its less likely he would come again

ahhh did you happen to catch his show? I was wondering how it was. I am relatively new to festivals, I've just been to Bonnaroo in 2013. It's really hard for me to get to venues considering my wife and I have COMPLETELY different taste in music for the most part. If Rock in Rio wasn't two weekends that cost SO QUACKIN much per we would go to vegas this year :/

Any predictions as to which mid-90s rock acts Firefly resurrects this year? My inner grade schooler would be into Everclear, The Smashing Pumpkins or The Offspring.
This Mike guy has had to have read all this stuff about us dissing him.
I really think the lineup is coming out tomorrow. I be very surprised if not.
When you look down upon people speculating about festivals, you're going to effectively end any discussions people want to have. Don't see the point and it's part of why the message boards are so dead.
It'd be beyond ridiculous if it didn't come out tomorrow. And would make me think they're scrambling for some reason
If the method behind the madness is to create buzz then redfrog/firefly have won. Im curious if we would be seeing this much action here if they simply dropped the lineup last Thursday

If there isn't a lineup tomorrow we will storm Red Frog headquarters with torches and pitchforks.
First time poster but Im doing the Double Dip of Roo and Firefly again this year (First double dip was last year). So ready for a lineup and hope it is tomorrow. I signed up for the email which is supposed to give updates for lineup but haven't gotten anything yet. The new message board on FF seems like an attempt to recreate the goodness that is inforoo.

It's possible...I think everybody took the early next week out of context. Wednesday falls into the category "early" when you look at the whole week and not just the work week. Maybe they just didn't want to share the spotlight with Forecastle.
No, stay in this shanty. I'm actually just curious. The Hangout thread is the only sub-forum thread I've ever noticed have a huge increase in new uses like this one has. Unlike the Hangout one, most of you don't suck. At least not yet. I'm sure some will rise to the occasion.
Edit: Actually, carlzner is working mighty hard at being terrible. Almost forgot him.
As terrible as he may be, I'm almost certain it was his rants on the Firefly boards that brought us not-so-terrible Firefly people over to inforoo. He frequently used inforoo as his source while arguing with that Mike G fellow over lineup rumors.

To be honest I feel like they really haven't created buzz by their actions, more like frustration. Also you gotta think whatever buzz we see in this forum is the minority of the Firefly goers as whole and the majority of people who attend don't necessarily "buzz" around this stuff. When the lineup drops, they see it, tag their friends in the comments, they make a decision comparing to Gov Ball, Roo, etc and then buy a ticket. I think it hurts them to not have their lineup out yet to be seen by these average Firefly goers to compare with the other fest, making them just flock to those festivals.
