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.
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
Oh my god yes, everybody with a brain will be singing let it be and hey Jude
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
Nice! This is true Headliner Thread quality posting right out of the gate.

Those are some quality headliner choices. Me personally, I'm really thinking the FF 2016 Headliners will be Dr. Dre, Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins
Firefly's website is slow as hell right now...meaning I can't get on their barely-used message boards!
Hopefully that's some kind of sign they have the lineup ready for us
Hope so...it either doesnt load at all or takes forever. Then again, their message boards were down for like 2 weeks before they re-branded it to be even more confusing
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.
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 won't knock your sentiments about Bjork, she's certainly an acquired taste. But I don't think you can knock the rest of the top 10. And for a 3 day fest with strict curfews they filled their slots nicely once again.
Firefly's website isn't loading at all. Are you thinking what I'm thinking
yeah man....i swear to god if passion pit isn't on the lineup this year i'm going to be so steamed
I think they will be honestly, I'm not biasing. They're at small fests like bottlerock and big guava, plus they're not at gov ball or Roo, witch makes me think firefly nabbed them first

It wouldn't surprise me. Especially since they're releasing a new album and have yet to play full set at Firefly. Then again, perhaps Firefly now sees them as a risky investment, and decided to opt for a different choice.
Lineup section is loading for me though the website was extremely slow to load. Earlier I jokingly told my friend that maybe they'd pull a Beyonce and drop the lineup unannounced at midnight. Maybe that will actually happen. I wouldn't put it past them at this point.
Launchpad had pointed to Bottlerock as the closest lineup to Firefly, so Passion Pit and Foster the People seem like a possibility.
That's one of the reasons why I kept placing The Avett Brothers and Passion Pit on my mocks. Foster the People and Cage the Elephant are also playing Bottlerock, but considering that The Avett Brothers and Passion Pit are releasing new albums this year, I would peg them as slightly more likely than Foster the People (played several songs from the new album in 2013) and Cage the Elephant (played last year).

I think Cage is actually one of the most likely to return, more than Foster

Is it me or does it seem like Firefly is looking at a lot of repeat acts from the past few years? Is this a down festival year, lack of that patented RedFrog creativity, or some other reason?
Guys, what do you think are the chances that Firefly was able to book Ride or Drive Like Jehu?
I would say zero. I'm highly anticipating the line up drop, but will probably be upset when war on Drugs , fly lo, Metz etc aren't on the line up and foster the people n kings of Leon r. There is a better shot of "nirvana" in its original form playing than Drive Like Jehu. That would b an amazing show, but wrong festival. Coachella actually got Ian Mackaye to play last year w the "Evens", so they get rare artists that are obscure to most people & don't play often (let alone fests). This is a little more radio friendly. I don't know if I could see anyone other than Pitchfork nabbing DLJ.

Kind of a rough year for new music, which had a trickle down effect on festivals. Also a lot of festivals getting larger has to water lineups down a bit.
