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
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.
The drama about it is n keeping me reading the thread for one, and it is the most I have seen firefly discussed anywhere-granted I focus primarily on jam.
If they had dropped the lineup I would have checked it out and moved on
Let's just forget about this lineup nonsense and just spend the rest of the night talking all things Macca.
With the Out There tour over and no other 2015 shows planned, what do we think that sets gonna be like?
Maybe less stuff if any from his album "New." Other than that, I've seen him 4 times and there's always a heavy amount of Beatles and Wings. Will be a great show, undoubtedly and probably similar to his Roo set
Is it just me or is the Forecastle lineup extremely underwhelming? Sam Smith is okay, but not a headliner by any means.
It is underwhelming, considering they had Jack White and Outkast last year
When talking about the overall lineup I think both Governors Ball and Forecastle took a step back this year. If I lived within a two hour drive to either I would buy a one day pass...but I would have to have a short travel time.

Yea I've seen him a bunch too. I hope he keeps playing the Abbey road medley. That was a highlight of the Out There tour. I also enjoyed his Wings selections. Nineteen hundred eighty five is a favorite of mine.
When I saw Macca at National Stadium in 2013 he put on an unforgettable 40 song set! As long as he plays I've Just Seen a Face I think Ill be content. Did anyone see him at Roo in 13'? Also how hard would it be for Coachella or Roo to get Macca and Ringo to play together...I mean I feel like that be legendary. And a George and John hologram would be nice.

Yeah, anything would have been a step back for Gov Ball considering they had one of the greatest lineups in festival history last year and they never book the same act two years in a row. Forecastle didn't just take a step back, they turned around and ran about a mile back, that lineup is disgusting.

Governors ball didn't take a step back, especially given the headliner pool we've seen from every other festival.
The undercard is extremely deep. Only US festival thus far boasting Bjork. And a good amount of cross over from Coachella including Tame Impala, St Vincent and Ratatat.

After my initial disappointment of having no Pearl Jam, I quickly became a huge fan of the Paul McCartney booking. I think a lot of us take for granted that is one of the original members of arguably the most iconic band of all time. It's an once in a lifetime show for a lot of people and I think it'll pay major dividends for the festival long term when it comes to booking headliners.

Love Nineteen hundred eighty five...such an underrated songs of his. Doubtful, but FF needs fireworks during Live and Let Die.

I did, but really messed up before hand. After Jim James set was over I took a quick nap under the tent. It had cleared out, and i was exhausted. I woke up about 45 mins later and messed the first 3 songs of his set. I had a terrible spot for the rest of show. He sounded great though, and I was able to get beer throughout the set.
I plan on getting a better spot for his Firefly set.

Well just to ahead and pretend like you didn't make that hologram comment. Saw him at Roo and it was everything you'd expect it to be and more. As you know he's an unbelievable performer and when you mix in the atmosphere of Roo and the sing a longs he produces, it's tough to match.

I think we will see Pearl Jam next year headlining. Maybe alongside Phoenix or The Strokes. I think next year firefly is just gonna murder every other lineup. This year is their coming out party.

Pearl Jam is #1 on my wishlist for 2016. Well them and Springsteen, but Macca is hard to top.

They had fireworks at the end of Foo Fighters so I would assume they could do that for the Sir Paul.

Oh sorry I meant the hologram to be sarcastic, but I was being serious of the Paul and Ringo thing. I would hope that his set at FF would produce the same sing along, but judging by some of these comments on FB I guess I can't 100% expect it.

I'm not that high on Bjork. I was pretty indifferent to her music, went to her 2013 Bonnaroo set. I didn't stay long. I enjoy The Black Keys overall collection of work and have seen them live. Their show is nothing special. I had chance to go watch them for a 2nd time about two months ago and didn't. Couldn't find anybody to go with that night and didn't feel like driving 2 hours by myself. It's a solid undercard...but nothing I am dropping my jar over. Like somebody above stated, they had one of the if not the best lineup last year.

I know its early to speculate headliners next year, but I'd love/think its possible for a Friday: Pearl Jam/Rolling Stones Saturday: Jay-Z Sunday: John Mayer

Yup, we can't feel too bad because no other festival managed to snag Pearl Jam either, but it's safe to say they were the number one most requested headliner. Wouldn't be surprised to see The Boss in the next couple years either, being so close to Delaware. Maybe bring back Gaslight Anthem for a couple songs.

Yea I assumed you were joking bout the holograms. Well at least I hoped you were. Lol
There will be plenty of singing at his set. Don't let those Facebook mouth breathers create any doubt
