Folks I completely understand that everyone is excited and anxious about the lineup. I completely get that. People are getting heated, upset and even angry about simply “not knowing”. I will make this very broad statement and hopefully it will help shed some light on the current state of things and improve communication and you have my solemn word that this is the entirety of what I know as of this moment:
As of the time of this message, Red Frog is scrambling furiously to try and get the last pieces in place to be legally allowed to post the 2015 lineup. There are approvals that are required and unfortunately, those approvals change, get re-worked and denied and it has put us in a holding pattern. The organizers WANT to get your lineup to you, because it is just that, YOUR LINEUP. I will keep updating this message with even the smallest detail as soon as it comes to me, I promise.
I remember a couple weeks ago thinking to myself "holy crap, the FF thread is up to 11 pages". lol
And to look now and see how far down the toilet we've gotten! Love you knuckleheads, this is the perfect place to wank about all things firefly lineup related, can't wait till all this turns into hating on the lineup the second it comes out
TLDR: Mike Greco came by. Chaos and humor ensued. People speculated if the lineup was actually going to get dropped today.
Hahaha he came on here? Now I have a reason to read this thread; that must've been gold.
He even made a humble brag that the Firefly message board had more members then Inforoo. I guess that's what he was trying to say? I wasn't taking him very seriously.

This is the main reason I hope my joke about them switching Sir Paul with The Flaming Lips playing the Beatles comes true.

Someone should've told him, "It's not the size the counts, it's how you use it."

Was it a mistake he titled that topic "APLOOGIES"?

Assuming that is the reason, it seemspretty silly of them to promise a lineup this week. It sounds like it's stuff beyond their control, which means the delay could end at any second or ...
And that's still not an explanation as to why Firefly hasn't bothered to make an official announcement regarding the delay. A 'friend' of RedFrog shouldn't be the one stuck with that job.

Sounds like something with a media outlet (ie. USA Today theory), hopefully they can iron it out before 4-5. Lineup came out around 2:30 last year.

I do like the " ~Mike" touch he adds. Gives an extra flourish to his already flourishing posts.
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.

I have absolutely nothing to add. I just wanted to quote it also.

Agreed. If you make the announcement that is "this week" you have to keep up some level of communication. Don't make that announcement if you're not ready and sure as hell don't not communicate with your increasingly-angry audience.
Good point... the layout is wack, especially for the message boards. It reminds of those scenes with all the staircases intertwining, like you never know which door you're going to.
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.
I really wish they would drop this lineup. I read the board by most recent posts now and it's really annoying to see all of these posts in this thread.

Yeah, it's too bad that there isn't a way to hide certain threads. I would have done it for the Hangout thread about a month ago.

Lol that shit is not getting released today, I highly doubt they would have kept this quiet today even if things were still in limbo this morning. Im saying we get it friday. I think they announced artist additions on a Friday last year so I could see them doing a Friday lineup release. Something just doesn't feel like it went right on red frogs end talent wise, especially because they are for the most part avoiding lineup release messages. Hell red frogs didn't even have their shit together AT the festival last year from what I heard. I'm honestly surprised we heard about the headliners so long ago considering how little we heard right up until about a week before Roos lineup came out.

I really would LOVE the option to hide threads. It would make using "Recent Threads" so much better if I didnt have to see all the threads I will never open, no matter what.
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.
When I read this quote now I immediately thought Morrissey
