Took a listen to a few of the confirmed bands from #FireflyFirstLol and here are a couple of thoughts that I imagine might be similar to others'.
Run The Jewels: Great. Listened to the song ft Zack de la Rocha.
Bastille: Terrible. Might have just been the song I heard (not pompeii), but it was not good.
Spoon: Saw them at MIA last year in some intense rain and it was one of the coolest shows I've seen, great band, incredible storm view.
Nope...that assessment is pretty applicable to all Bastille songs, not just Pompeii - though that one is particularly bleh.
I just want this lineup to drop so that I can figure out whether I'm doing this or not. Is it so much to ask, is it? (Speaking to Red Frog, not you guys)
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
My patience is wearing thin. I understand that putting a festival together is complicated, and it's not that I feel entitled and deserve the lineup, i'm just saying. Red Frog literally said it would be out early this week, so what are they waiting for? This is more or less how it is every year. If it hasn't been so awesome every year I would have moved on a long time ago.

I don't even mind the waiting part so much, it's the total lack of communication. Having a set release date/time isn't asking that much.
Do bands have a say in where they are on the lineup? And if so, how much say? Like when they called Paul McCartney, i'm assuming it's obvious he is top billed. But for lower bands, how is it decided?

This is a quote from the Firefly director himself: "Believe it or not, the difference between a confirmation and a pass can often come down to lineup position and stage slot." So yes, they do have some say in their lineup placement.

I think the fact that Red Frog is all hush-hush now is because they're trying to put out some massive logistical/administrative forest fire. If they had everything together, they could easily give people a date and a time for the lineup drop.

Certainly not beyond the realm of possibility a big name dropped out and they're scrambling a bit. That being said, I'd still be surprised not to see the announcement to day to allow for Friday ticket sales.
Skrillex is on there, which increases the likelihood Firefly gets Aoki-ed. Ugh.
This is my biggest fear, I'd pretty much rather see any other DJ (seriously, can't think of anyone else) out there than Aoki and his press play, jump up and down and throw cake (which is thankfully ending) antics. He might be the definition of talent-less. Only positive is that I have friends who would see him, making it easier on me to sell them on the idea of going.
Um, what? That lineup is incredible: Annie Mac, Arca, Autechre, badbadnotgood, Daniel Avery, Duran Duran, Evian Christ, FlyLo, Hot Chip, Jamie xx, Kiasmos, Kindness, Laurent Garnier, Maya Jane Coles, Sophie, the 2 Bears, the Bug, Ten Walls, the Chemical Brothers...if electronic music isn't your thing, that's fine. Though I would agree that there aren't any "dealbreakers" in that pretty much none of these acts would ever get booked for almost any mainstream U.S. festival, let alone Firefly.

I thought putting on a "first look" performance was a good sign they had everything together. What a bummer. And yeah Andrew I do remember that I was just hoping that their "early next weel" comment would make the early February plans irrelevant haha. I could definitely be wrong though.

Let me rephrase that; no dealbreakers for me. Firefly has always had heavy alt-rock/indie leanings, which that lineup is not.

even if that's the case, total radio silence seems like the worst way to go about fixing that and keeping the public informed. At a certain point people are just going to start losing interest

Right on. I honestly think it's funny that someone even posted that in here. The kinds of acts that play Sonar are not the kind that would play Firefly. It would be like me posting the Maryland Deathfest lineup and being all "guess Carcass isn't playing!"

He was referring to no deal breakers that won't be on the firefly list. And really only about 3 people on that list have a chance anyway, but I could certaintly see skrillex, hot chip, or Jamie xx play at firefly one day.

Eh, I posted that mainly because of Skrillex, FKA Twigs, and Flying Lotus. I wouldn't expect any of the others to ever be booked by Firefly.
I thought there was word somewhere that Bassnectar was going to be the top EDM name?
They are back to responding to some more facebook messages "Thank you for being patient".
Yeah i'm starting to be less hopeful of today again already. Seems like Groundhog day with their BS yesterday and Greco again "the site is down to make sure their spelling of Justin Bieber is correct"
The official Firefly Facebook account has been replying to comments today instead of the usual Mike G nonsense. So it looks like their page is currently active.

I was hoping we get Skrillex and Porter Robinson, but the Zedd-Aoki on the "leak" seems all the more likely now. Zedd I don't mind (although a repeat DJ already??), but Aoki is just a waste of money. You could literally pick any of the DJ top 100 and I'd pick them over Aoki.
They literally just responded to someone on facebook with "We only accept pretty pleases with sugar on top. But actually Alyssa, stay tuned, it's coming." They said stay tuned yesterday.
