Hypothetically speaking- if Firefly really did get Sir Paul, anyone think it has anything to do with partnering with Golden Voice? Or is Firefly becoming a well known enough fest to be able to get a headliner of that magnitude?

Come on, were trying to get to 1000 I mean 100 pages before line up drops. Everyone knows redfrog is dropping the ball right now as they did multiple times last year. As for Sir Paul, I would imagine talks had to go on for longer than a year so either goldenvoice or redfrog had been in talks for long enough.

Clearly, Red Frog is waiting for this thread to reach 100 pages before dropping the lineup. Anything less and we deserve no lineup.

And the radio silence from RedFrog continues. Serious question: does anyone work over there, anyone at all? Like at their staff meeting this morning, did maybe even just one person suggest, "Hey, guys, so maybe today we should give a date or an apology or an explanation or something...." And then everyone else gave the thumbs down, exited the staff meeting, and resumed the ping pong championship game.
I've been following this thread like a stripper follows dollar bills for two weeks now. I just wanted to express my extreme gratitude for saving my sanity on a daily basis. You people are all fantastic. I laughed so hard this morning and imagined a RedFrog staff meeting comprised of a ping pong tournament. I'm sure this whole issue has been that they promised themselves they wouldn't release the lineup until they had a office ping pong champion. I think thats the obvious explanation.

I'd definitely think it's Goldenvoice. On their past lineups, they haven't gotten anybody that's half as big as McCartney, and it took Coachella 10 years to get him and Bonnaroo 12 years. In my opinion Macca is "the get" for any festival. Only other acts of that caliber, again in my personal opinion, are Prince, Daft Punk, and The Rolling Stones.

Ok, seeing as I'm in Alabama and not very likely to make it to Deleware for this fest, I haven't been following this board as much as the Hangout board which I will be attending. With that said, can someone point me toward the mock from last week? There seems to be a high confidence belief that due to both festivals having connections with Golden Voice there may some crossover in terms of bands announced for FF that may be added to HOF. Thanks and happy speculating!

I would agree with you, but have to think they could get much more out of their partnership.
This should have been a huge step forward for them, and I guess still is, but communication hasn't been their strong point. Seems to me if they didn't change their message from early February to this week to early this week to who knows people wouldn't be complaining as much.
That takes a way from their big get. It probably will be mostly forgotten come June, but they have a track record of doing things like this, such as their big day of announcements last year.

They're not even being active on FB as they have been doing the last few mornings, giving vague comments to people. Well, they are deleting people's posts complaining so there's that.

I'm officially convinced it won't be this week.
Yeah, I am going to prepare myself for next week and hope for the best. At least then we will be in "early February" (as they previously stated that would be the time-frame, but who knows)

Not even excited anymore for it. I think they missed their opportunity to either say when it will be coming out, or release it, earlier this week. At this point I've exhausted my excitement for this thing already.

I'm not disagreeing with you that they really, really need to work on their communication with their fanbase, but how many people that actually attend the fest are there on these boards, and how many are there on the subreddit? I'd be surprised if there were more than a thousand people that obsess over lineup the way that we do, which is what gets us so impatient and so critical of Red Frog. And rightfully so. But I'd bet money that the majority of people that are going to go to Firefly this year have absolutely no idea right now that they're going to see Paul McCartney on that top line, and the tickets are gonna sell like crazy. And that right there is enough to make Red Frog think they did okay this year.
They are getting so many complaints on Facebook. It is actually quite amusing. I saw people say they are no longer going. If I was Firefly, I would at least put out what exactly is going on and apologize to everyone.

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.

Having a Beatle in your back pocket is a pretty big card to play. I bet that alleviates much of the butt-hurt once it drops.

Exhausted your excitement?! But we might have Bastille to look forward to...

Exactly. And if Firefly wouldn't have been stupid and officially said that week that they'd be releasing the lineup before they were one hundred percent certain that they could, this all would've been avoided.

I've come to terms with the fact that Red Frog did say this week without any indication of which part of the week it would be (early middle late). So they have until 11:59PM Saturday to keep to their word.
