Just switch out Aoki and give us Porter. Zedd is fine, even if he was already here. Skrillex going overseas + EDC the same weekend probably causes some problems.

I went to the Porter worlds show. It was fun and good and all. But FF needs to book acts like Duke Dumont, Hot Natured, Ten Walls and Gorgon City.

Snakehips and SNBRN were on the Leak/Fake and they're both sort of similar to those acts.
Firefly didn't fall off with EDM last year. PL, Big G and A-trak were all better names then the cheese in 2013.
I've seen "cheese" used this way a few times, what is the connotation behind it? Just curious, never heard it used this way before.
Cheese = shitty bullshit EDM. See, e.g., pretty much every EDM act that appears at most major U.S. festivals. Examples include Skrillex, Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, Aoki, Guetta, Harris, Kaskade, Afrojack, Avicii, etc.

Since switching to the Wordpress platform last year, we have been tinkering with the features and database a bit, I'm not denying that. We could go entirely with an off the shelf offering like this one from ProBoards, but then just get labeled a copycat. It's a no win situation. We're a much newer festival and just aren't trying to be a ripoff. We'll get the identity of the board under control, I promise.
There are tons of different good message board services to use, Wordpress is not one of them.
Straight up, it's a turn off for any people using it. That's why so many of the people have migrated to this single thread as opposed to using the entire FF message board.
I understand man and I'm totally taking it as feedback and nothing hostile or counterproductive. I know you're a fan of message boards and music in general, as I've seen you actively using ours and for that I honestly say thank you. I do like the layout of this, I ain't gonna lie, but I'm also going to do my job with what they give me.
Wanna hear something crazy? For a weird reason, our board currently has more members. I'm totally not saying it as a dig, but it's ironic given the short life span.

Anyone else still waiting on them to announce what last year's artist clues/hints meant? They did say they would be doing that, still holding out!
what clues?
My mistake, it was two years ago. Here are a couple:
They said in another post that we may have missed a few already, too. At some point I remember them saying they would let us know what they meant. Anywho no need to stir the pot, I digress...

Coming out of lurking to disqualify Bassnectar from "cheese". No way.
I've been following this thread for over a week now in anticipation for the line up but now I'm sitting at work now completely bored, and no hint of the line up dropping today so I thought it was time to contribute.
To mr. OP who was really pushing for porter robinson, I am an avid porter fan, I saw the worlds show twice, once in philly and then in nyc, and I have never been to a show quite like it. It was so beautiful and the variation in production from the original songs off the album and the old work to make it feel worlds-esque was so amazing. The visuals he has are all completely original and it really tells a story. For those who haven't listened to his album I encourage you to, it's not what you may think it would be. It's not rave music, it's beautiful sounds that evoke nostalgia and emotion. Seeing that show was one of the best nights of my life. That being said, he is doing the worlds show at Coachella which I know will be a great crowd for him. You have no idea how bad I want to see that show and how I hope he will be at firefly. But I have a feeling we are going to get aokied (love that term) it's a shame but last year firefly fell off with the edm artists and it doesn't seem like they're pushing for that crowd anymore which is disappointing to me.
I would a also love to see flume, but it doesn't look like we're gonna get that either. I'm fine with Zedd, he's a good dude and his records have a really positive vibe. Is could also be really off the mark with my ideas because firefly is also putting up that tent stage "the pavilion" which seems like they're aiming towards edm artists. We'll just have to wait and see.
Btw shoutout to everyone in this thread who has been keeping it classy and not starting arguments over nothing. It's been really fun reading all the speculation and seeing everyone converse.
Firefly didn't fall off with EDM last year. PL, Big G and A-trak were all better names then the cheese in 2013.
I follow edm pretty heavily, Pretty Lights were cool to see and Big G are swell but a-trak is not someone most people have heard of and although he has produced with people like Kanye and had a hand in some really big hits, his work is not generally praised and his fan base is pretty small.
I don't want to diss you at all but firefly 2013 was not cheese, in fact I would say it was much better than 2014. Calvin Harris had a massive crowd at the lawn. Big G and krewella both had pretty solid sets, and the white panda did his thing.

Krewella might be the cheesiest EDM act I've ever seen.

Now you may consider them cheese, but in 2013 nobody knew them and it was just 2 hot girls and a weird dude playing some weird dancing songs. I was there, everybody had a great time. There rep has totally gone down hill since then.

Just because they weren't as popular then doesn't mean they weren't pumping out shitty cheese.

Yeah, I wouldn't put PL in that category either, and maybe not even Skrillex, though he kind of is. "Cheese" to me is more people who make regular appearances at Ultra/EDC. Skrillex is kind of cheese, but I tend to think of it as a little more house-y.
