Dave would be fun. It'd be a mailed in festival set as they do at all festivals, but would that take away them from their regular two night stand at Camden?

At this point, I think I would just rather see this fest enter the graveyard if the lineups are going to keep being this bad.
My understanding is that last year sold well considering the lineup, which blows my mind. 50k people went, down from from 60k in '17/'18 and greatly down from 90k sold out in '15
Firefly has not had a decent lineup since 2014. 2015 maybe since Paul McCartney was there. Apparently people love garbage and still go. I think the Killers or Muse or Kings of Leon are due another appearance I guess it's still good for the local economy

The 2016 lineup had Florence, Tame, Mumford, Kings, M83, Disclosure, Blink, The 1975, A$AP Rocky, and Major Lazer, DeadMau5 just in the first 3 lines.
Maybe it's not your taste but it's pretty objectively good for what Firefly or any US Fest at this point.

I find it really hard to believe that last year had 50k people. I'd guess closer to 35k. Maybe with some single days or whatever Saturday was at 50k, but anyone who goes every year can tell the difference.

you gotta remember how massive of a site it is.
You can tell the difference in the festival grounds. I can distinctively remember the difference between 2014, 2015, 2016-17 (about the same IMO), 2018, 2019

If I were to guess:
2014- 70k 2015- 85k 2016/17-65k 2018-50k 2019-40k
I would agree with these numbers for the most part (didn't go last year). '16 was more crowed than '17 I think. '15 was like no other.
It's tricky with Firefly because it really fluctuates by day. Saturday of 2018 with Eminem and Lil Wayne was packed to the brim and at other points that weekend it felt empty.

I got my numbers from the delawareonline and they accused Firefly of fluffing the numbers a little for '17. So that 50k is probably generous as well. I don't doubt '15 sold out and '14 was close though.
*just reread the article for 2019. 50k was stated "came over the course of the weekend"

I mean I love Tame, M83, Deadmau5 and the rest are what they are, but really those names aren't special. They've each hit up tens of festivals every year for seemingly the past 5 years pretty much and that top line just feels generic and lifeless. Ultimately, my issue with it might revolve around festival over-saturation more than anything
How the fuck this festival has not had Skrillex or Marshmello play yet given it's target demo is unbelievable.
Could very well be the year of Skrillex, we shall see. His live sets are the best they've ever been, Firefly would be lucky to have him.
No doubt, I've enjoyed every Skrillex set I've seen. Ironically, wasn't Skrillex the one who basically told Marshmello AKA Dotcom to try a different persona? Dude basically threw a helmet on and all the sudden was all the rage.

Worth noting the helmet + name also were accompanied by a stark change in sound. Dotcom had some decent stuff but the Marshmello sound was a direct swing for mainstream audiences.

Ok so if Boston Calling got Rage, Firefly better have something decent to put out or they are fucked. They can't get cute again and expect everyone to just march to Delaware in June.

My Chemical Romance is the card they pull, if they pull one at all

theres no excuse for them to not have Frank/Rage or some similar level top headliner. If a festival half the size on the Harvard campus can get Rage this fest should too

Tom Morello went to Harvard and apparently that played a role in them deciding to do the fest.

May be true but competition is competition, not like Firefly can Poop out a lineup and say “Sorry guys nobody is reuniting for a tour that went to University of Delaware so here’s Tame Impala, Maroon 5, and Billie Elish. See you at the woodlands!”
