If some of my friends are camping in the general camping area, will they be able to enter the Premier Camping area? (to hang out and drink beer and such)

Yes, but only during festival hours. You can travel between Premier and General by walking through the festival grounds, but once the festival is closed for the night, there's no way to get back. (Actually, you could walk around the outer perimeter of the festival, but that's a 3-mile walk.)

I just have one more question; hypothetically, if one of my friends from general camping gets too wasted and ends up having to crash in our premier campsite, would there be any sort of regulation or festival official who would have them forcibly removed, or anything of that nature? I am just trying to gage the level of oversight in the process

Probably not. So far, Firefly has been extremely lax in the campgrounds. Basically anything goes. Police/security do patrol the campgrounds occasionally, but you'd have to be doing something monumentally stupid to get in any kind of trouble. They don't do searches or anything. (Of course, they could always decide to crack down this year. With Firefly, you never really know what to expect. Policies change all the time.)
An aerial photo of Premier camping was posted earlier, so here's a shot of General camping for comparison.
The actual festival area is the clearing at the top right of the picture. The Hub is next to the racetrack. The casino is on the opposite side of the track. Glamping and Premium RV are inside the stadium. The Dover Mall is the white building at the top left of the picture.
I'm sure he wants 90,000 people, but regular tickets haven't even gone on sale yet. He doesn't know much more than we do. (Although I am curious how many presale tickets they sold.)
well if we see the tickets sold out come up by the start of the festival we will have a good estimate of how many people r there
Not necessarily. Even if they don't reach their goal, Firefly will probably issue a statement saying that tickets are sold out a few days before the festival because it's not feasible to ship the wristbands/ticket info within such a short window.

I was in the section on the left-hand side of this photo in 2013. It was a pretty long walk (at least 20-25 minutes) to the south festival entrance. With the Main Stage now located near the north festival entrance, it's probably close to a 40 minute walk from that camping area to the Main Stage. All the more reason to go with premier camping if you can.

They really are pretty lax when it comes to camping. Regarding both entry and policing. They do patrol the area as others have mentioned but they're pretty easy going. The atmosphere is pretty chill though so there wasn't any cause for police intervention.
The only time I saw the police get involved was when the dude camping next to us reported that someone broke into his RV but they didn't steal anything...they must've thought it was their RV and stumbled back presumably drunk or high, disrobed and jumped in bed. The dude who owned the RV ended up finding the guy passed out in bed and he just got up, was all disoriented, and ran away...he left his pants at the scene.
The RV owner informed the police mainly because he was worried about the dude. He said he looked like he may have been having a bad trip or something. Not to mention he was now wandering around with no pants on.
But that was the extent of police in our area all weekend.
Launchpad McQuack I didn't feel like going back and searching for it but that Seaside Heights festival looks like it will be Gentlemen of the Road. Mumford just posted a teaser for a Monday announcement which is when the press conference is supposed to be and that would go along with the "folksy" festival description.

Well that would surely be some competition to Firefly.
They changed the video on the site to have Macca included, but still no remix of any Beatles songs. I may be in the minority but I love these White Panda mixes and always youtube convert em and I really wanted to hear their take on McCartney. :/
The white panda remixes are great, especially the 2013 one(Ellie Goulding/Kendrick). And their shows are pretty fun as well, I saw them in 2013(over Big G, I know it was a mistake) and in a small venue in Philly. It's a much cheesier version of Girl Talk.
I saw them back in 2010 before they were big at all at some tiny venue in Boston and still had a great time. That being said, I'm not sure who at Red Frog they've been sleeping with to keep getting on the lineup every year

Yeah definitely interested in seeing the dates and lineup. The article mentioned a June date so it's either going up against Governors Ball or Firefly unless they host it Bonnaroo weekend. I don't know if it would make sense for the city to approve a festival late June heading into an already busy 4th of July week.

I think because they are so popular with the Firefly crowd and are also probably fairly cheap, it's an easy late night act to book each year (thus far anyway). I wouldn't mind it as much except that there are only what? Like 5 late night spots available? 2 Fri/2 Sat/1 Sun? Aside from the headliners that's the most limited clearly defined spot on the lineup. I even like White Panda but still find it somewhat frustrating to have 20% of the late night lineup written in stone each year.
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.
The more I discover really great acts hidden in the undercard, the more I simultaneously get excited AND nervous/stressed about what will conflict.
Speaking of stress - I CANNOT WITH THIS DRESS DEBACLE.
I'm super excited about this undercard. Found some amazing acts that I can't wait to see.
Also my brain told me the dress was white and gold. It's like that new paint they use for cars. If the sun hits it a certain way it looks this color but really it's that color.

Matoma seems pretty chill, he has some awesome remixes. borns seems pretty cool, bahamas is amazing as hell.
Matoma is great - I'm seriously considering going solo to check out their DC concert next week, even though it is late on a weekday night. I'm afraid they will conflict with something I'm more attached to seeing at FF.
BORNS & Bahamas are both fantastic. Try Jungle too if you haven't already, if you like BORNS.

How would you explain the sound of Borns? It's so chill and dreamy. I guess it could be "dream pop" but I hate that term. Glo-fi is another one. Bahamas, i've watched his itunes performance about 30 times.
Haha I kind of like ~dream pop~ actually. Idk, he is hard to categorize. You can totally feel the California vibe emanating off of his music, but then his voice is so unique - at times feminine but still so strong.

I like the genre "dream pop", bands like Porcelain Raft or Beach House. I just think it's a funny name for a genre. But then again, my favorite genre is called "shoegaze" so dream pop really isn't that weird. But yeah his voice has that androgynous vibe to it and I dig it. 10,000 emerald pools is a great song. The vocal harmonies are awesome and that bass groove is killer.
