I like the line-up a lot. I'm just a tad disappointed with the headliners. RHCP and Petty? Where's the third headliner? Or is one them gonna play twice? I say replace RHCP with Pearl jam and add Arcade Fire and or Kings Of Leon Other than that pretty solid and i'll be going since i bought my tix last year,

:think: Wonder what the odds of Atoms for Peace being a third headliner is. Flea is in the band....

They could play some of Thom's solo stuff or possibly a Radiohead song or two

It's a lot of money I don't really have to shell out, but it's sooo tempting. Even without PJ, what a fantastic line up! I've been asked by so many people to go to this, as it's close to school and fairly close to home, and that's tempting too. Ahhh 2 days to figure it out :?

Picked up my tickets today. Looking forward to a great weekend of music!

Jim James added to the line-up (replacing Imagine Dragons) :thumbup:

LINEUP UPDATE: Due to an unexpected scheduling conflict, Imagine Dragons will not be able to play at Firefly this summer. However, we’re extremely excited to announce that Jim James will be taking their place at The Woodlands! We wish Imagine Dragons the best in their ventures ahead and are honored to welcome Jim James!

Judging by ticket fiasco's I'm glad i bought mine the day after now

Firefly is close (to home) , but no cigar (at least this year) . I'll get my festival fix with three days in the desert at Coachella in April. Headliners there fair to good, but undercard is amazing. I'll spend cash otherwise devoted to Firefly in London and Wrigleyville .

It's funny because I bet a lot of those people have never really tried to get tickets to a high demand show judging by a lot of their comments. My experience with getting ten club tix for MSG, PJ20 etc really helped me get the lowest price level as soon as they went on sale. I do feel bad for people that didn't know any better and thought they would easily grab tickets from a slow work connection or something.

schedule/times/line-ups revealed today :thumbup:

http://fireflyfestival.com/site.php#lineup_schedule.php

I'm tempted to sell my 3 day pass. It's a solid line-up, but right now I kinda need the money and there isn't anyone that i MUST see. There are a few which I would like to see for the first time (vampire weekend, yeah yeah yeahs, tom petty) but no one that i'm really looking forward to :?

Wristbands came in the mail!

I'm selling mine though. Need money for PJ in Wrigley/Chicago and the line-up doesn't excite me as much, I Put an ad on Craigslist for $225. Which is less than what they are going for now but more than what i paid for ($175) :shh:

You should get about what you paid for them. There are a bunch of passes on stubhub. That market is going to crash. The dailys are going to drop too.

Still 50/50 on Sunday. Want to see vampire.

Yeah i've had a few offers already. One dude lives in the same city but can't pay me until Friday. :roll: Yeah Vampire Weekend is the one of the main bands i want to see but not necessary.

Mine came today too! All 8 of ours :shock: :P

Too bad you can't swing it Dave. It's definitely going to be bigger than last year, but I'm not sure if the quality will be there too. We will see.

THis is my only vacation this year as I am starting a new job :fp:

8? wow! I heard some people lost or had theirs stolen cause the packaging sucked this year. My box was taped pretty bad but nothing missing.

Yeah just no big acts for me. Kinda want to see Vampire Weekend and Yeah Yeah Yeahs but they can wait. Tom Petty would be cool but not a huge fan of his. The other acts I like I have seen most already.

Kinda weird I was expecting to go to this and skip Made in America but now it's the opposite

Good luck on your new job

Yeah, we got a big crew this year (Bigger than I would like) I'm probably gonna split up for most of the day.

Our box was completely opened on the one side but luckily nothing fell out.

I'm not really big into the acts either, but the location and timing work out so well that I have to do it.

I will be jealous of you at MIA

Thanks! It should be pretty sweet. Hopefully I can adjust to the everyday 9-5 schedule right out of college. :x

eeriepadave

Well sold my firefly ticket. Now i have more money for Chicago

pjfan2

Only two days away!! I am so excited

FrankieG

Firefly is tomorrow
My group got 'early bird camping' which lets us camp thurs-monday and also camp closer to the fesival entrance. (Which is farther from the casino where I will be going to daily to use the restrooms )

I am really excited... kinda. My excitement has decreased since I had my last Crohn's disease flare up this past weekend (talk about timing...) and I am hoping that I can pull this weekend off. I could barely sleep on a mattress last night, I don't want to think about sleeping on a flimsy sleeping pad... /rant

Can't wait for RHCP and Tom Petty. I should probably figure out who else i want to see :roll:

Owl Jam

Anyone know if parking was a hassle last year?

Sorry to hear about that, I hope you get better soon. Some really good bands that I can't wait to see (aside from RHCP and Tom Petty) are Edward Sharpe, foxygen(they are amazing!!!), dispatch, grizzly bear, jim james, and vampire weekend.

Are you driving all 3 days? That's what i did last year. I didn't have really any problems. Parking was well organized. Getting out was very easy on Friday and Saturday. Sunday on the other hand took over an hour to get out which i kinda expected.

Owl Jam

Thanks Dave. Planning on Friday and Saturday from Delaware County, PA

Thanks! I have been feeling a lot better since I posted this so I have a positive outlook going into the weekend!

Those are some good suggestions, thanks! I'm pretty much gonna follow my group where they want to go. I definitely want to hit Japandroids too

eeriepadave

Have fun everyone! I might go next year depending on the bands.

PhillyCrownOfThorns

Have fun all. I definitely bungled this weekend.

Saturday would be great but I would have to see japandroids and the shakes. Can't be there early, and I just saw petty in NYC. I forgot that I committed to bake my son to the phillies game on sunday. Oh well!

Well coming back next year. tix go on sale this Wed. at 10 AM for $198 (up $50 from last year :roll: ).

Kinda glad i didn't go this year. Heard traffic was a pain, the bathrooms were horrible, and it was way too crowded. I wasn't really in the mood for dealing with people last week anyway

Depending on whose playing next year I probably won't go.

Well, the traffic was horrible. I sat in it for about 3 hours the first day while my friends were waiting for me and the bathrooms were really gross, but only on the third day. But, I still had one of the best weekends of my life enjoying great music with my friends and having a blast camping. Also, I expected the crowd because of how good the lineup was this year. Every band I saw was absolutely amazing! I was really close to the stage for Vampire Weekend and they performed such a great set.
