They would have saved a lot of money if they had just booked The Flaming Lips doing McCartney songs and leave Paul out of the whole affair.
That is my only major concern I have with the McCartney booking. Hopefully it didn't hurt the quality of the rest of the lineup too much, but I do think Firefly can't afford not to have a big lineup this year (at least relative to other festivals).
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.
I'm going to be pretty disappointed if War on Drugs is not there. They had one of the best albums last year, they are playing festivals, they have the date open, and they are from Philly. That seems like a no brainer to me.

The only thing that could cause a problem is the proximity to Gov. Ball, but I don't know that they're high enough on the lineup for a proximity clause to come into play.

I hope that isn't the case. I thought I had read an article about Gov. Ball being against intense radius clauses for developing acts. I get headliners, but to me it just doesn't make sense past them. It could just be wishful thinking on my part though.

Meh, Gov. Ball and Firefly both had Outkast. I doubt The War on Drugs is a concern for two festivals in or close to some of the biggest markets in the country.
Now whenever I try to get onto the Firefly website's lineup page it's just a completely blank screen with black letters that say "Error establishing a database connection"
EDIT: And the same thing happens if you go to fireflyfestival.com/artists
Must See 2018 List: 1. Drake 2. The Cure 3. David Byrne 4. King Krule 5. Moses Sumney 6. Dua Lipa 7. Mount Kimbie 8. Perfume Genius 9. Yaeji 10. Big Thief

It's like that for every single page on the website outside of the Homepage.

I'm about 4 pages late to the discussion about what other festivals we're hitting. Only one I have tickets for so far is Boston Calling because I bought presale ($100 is a bargain for that lineup). In I perfect world I would hit Mountain Jam>Roo>Firefly but I doubt I'll be able to take that much time off work, so realistically looking at choosing between roo and firefly.
Unrelated to RedFrog's pre-lineup release ineptitude, have any of you done premier camping before? I want to get a better camp location, but I don't want to show up Wednesday. Has anyone done premier camping and showed up Thursday/Friday morning?

I haven't, but my understanding is that if you don't get there Wednesday, you're not guaranteed a spot in the north camping lot.
