I've since changed my tune just because I don't want killers conflicting with someone else on sunday. But I think they would do better at ending the fest with a bang.
I think the only reason why there was a conflict on Sunday last year was because fans were very vocal about their disdain for Jack Johnson headlining. I'm pretty sure that's the only Sunday in FF history where the headliner wasn't unopposed. However I do remember FF 2013 on Friday the chili peppers played at the same time earl sweatshirt was supposed to (ended up cancelling and replaced by schoolboy q). So it's not guaranteed that the killers playing on sunday means they will be on at the same time as someone else.

Oh, they definitely have more bang to them - which is why selfishly I want them on Saturday instead, so I can opt to potentially leave early on Sunday. No way I'm leaving before the fest ends on Sunday if the Killers are closing.
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.

If people think this way, it would serve Firefly better to have Killers Sunday. Keep people around. Have them leave with a good taste in their mouth. Right?

Yes, but I'm thinking about my body/sanity hahaha. I don't want to party hard on Sunday night or take any ECs. But I do want to do that for Killers. Conflict of interest!!!!
Also, for anyone who doesn't have Sylvan Esso on their must-see list:

RECONSIDER
Listening to their full KEXP performance, i like the electronics but idk about the vocals. I think I would prefer Purity Ring. The vocals in this performance remind me of less crazy Tuneyards.
Ugh Purity Ring - sensitive subject for me right now. Their 10:00 on a Friday show is sold out in DC (end of May but tix went quickly, and I'm slooooooooow apparently), and luckily they added an earlier show that night that I'm gonna snag a ticket for tomorrow as soon as they got on sale, but it'll be a lot less exciting at 7:00. Oh wellz.
/end rant. Yes, love Purity Ring. Would love to see them at FF. But it ain't happening. And I'm pumped for Sylvan Esso - I adore her voice, personally.

I'm seeing Sylvan Esso here next Friday. I'm super excited about it!
Also, I haven't posted much in here since the line up was all official and shit. But I'm pretty sure I'm out. Found out I got into grad school so now I have a move to Texas to save for. I can't believe I'm walking away from MACCA in a festival setting.... This is why being a grown up sucks ass.
I wish Wolf Parade would get back together. Or Handsome Furs. Or Moonface touring with Sinaii again. Just something with either Spencer Krug or Dan Boeckner. Or both. As in Wolf Parade.

Well I'm new to here. I was originally going to Bonnaroo for a second year in a row, but I decided to join my best friend, his Gf, and some others to the Woodlands. I'm excited for a majority of the acts such as Modest Mouse, EOTS, Morissey(pretty big Smiths fan), Sir Paul, Killers, KOL, Walk the Moon, Matt and Kim, Manchester Orchestra, Dirty Heads, Slyvan Esso, and more. Setting up my payment plan in the coming weeks, tax return is taking longer than I want haha.

I had only been to this past firefly so good to know about past years. Well in that case, I'm all for the killers being Sunday unopposed. And really. How could kings of Leon close out the fest?! They would have to have snoop opposing them or something along those lines for that to work well.

I gotta put my big kid pants on though and not spend money I don't have in festa I don't need to go to to see people I've seen 3 times already....
I'll be at Shaky Knees and Roo though. If I have money probably ACL & Fun Fun Fun now too, since I'll be living in Austin. If you're around any of those feats I'll gladly have that beer with you!
Theirs going to be a one day festival in Atlantic City on June 13th at the Borgota's new outdoor venue (most likely just EDM though)... The # of fests are getting ridiculous. The bubble is def gonna burst soon.

Oh man I sooooo want to move to Austin. I may visit later this year, when is ACL?
BTW, anyone use clashfinder? I am putting together one for FF, I'll give the link when I have an initial copy of the entire schedule put it if anyone wants to play around with it.

There's a lot of logic backing up your decision, but I'm still sad about it haha. And the second part of your message just makes me sadder - would LOVE to go to Shaky Knees but that weekend doesn't work for me, and as for Roo, it was a Roo vs. FF thing with my friends, and they didn't want to do the way longer drive blah blah blah whine whine. But I went with the flow so we are doing FF this year instead

Good to know I'll have a place to crash if I choose ACL over Voo Doo
Not seeing the Jungle confirmation - what am I missing?
It's not listed, but they're playing DC on the 17th and Philadelphia on the 19th. Thursday seems to be the most logical day for them to play Firefly, but I could be wrong.

Yes, of course!! I am leaning heavily towards a 1br/1ba apt for the exact reason of visitors. It's either that or sharing an apt for a bit cheaper, but I'd have 3 roommates. I like my alone time and I like being able to have people over without having to "ask" first.
And Jeremy Jamm I believe ACL is the first two weekends in October again this year, I could be wrong though.
This is really shitty of them. Just give a yes or no answer. Comes off as a money grab. Don't guarantee single day passes so people that are worried it will sell out will just go ahead and pay the full price for a non-refundable 4-day pass.

It comes off as a money grab because it is one.
In this case, though, I really don't blame them. Think of how many people would just opt for a one-day pass for Paul if they knew that would be a possibility. They don't want that to happen; they're only going to single days if 4-days don't sell well enough.

I saw Real Estate at Roo last year and they were good live for sure but not mind-blowing IMO.
But yes, we can all wholeheartedly agree that FF missed the boat (at least they didn't miss the MM boat though!!) on a shit ton of great, relevant acts touring right now. Ugh. No use dwelling on it I guess - it is what it is. And we have Macca.
Not hating, but not a fan of Modest Mouse. Their set at firefly 2012 was pretty bad. While they still have a large fan base, I can't think of the last time they really added anything to the alternative scene or did something wildly innovative.
