    I'm pretty sure that's the real thing.... Another pass for me. I'm not sure what Firefly is aiming for with each passing year but it seems to be pretty mainstream. Idk why they would have a ton of bands that already played there, too. Although the younger kids love this shit I've noticed last year.... And that's cominng from a 26 year old, ha. Makes me feel old.

    I am planning to! And yeah they are pissing me off too! Of course it doesn't matter so I have stopped checking/hoping.. when it's out I will hear.
    I really just want to buy my ticket and get my money squared awaymore than know the lineup.

  • Yeah it sucks because after the first year I thought this could have been a legit contender for one of the better festivals out there. But now I have no desire to go back and the lineup gets worse every year. It's a damn shame.

    I'm not "Pearl Jam-level" excited for anybody..
    I'm reasonably excited for about 16 bands so far. Obviously want to learn some of the no-namers and see them.
    The rumor is that the blurred Headliner is McCartney or RHCP.

    Why would they release the line up with a blurred headliner?? So weird. Of the 2 mentioned above, it vaguely looks like Paul McCartney more than RHCP. Either way, not bowled over by any headliner. Wouldn't mind seeing many of the undercard bands, but not sure I want to enough to go. Hmmmm....

    They have been holding the lineup back for atleast 3 weeks now because of a conflict, I'm assuming it has something to do with McCartney's management not allowing them to release his name until a certain date. I'm not thriled for the headliners wither, but they are better than Deadmau5 and Mumford..

    I figure I will have a great time just being there meeting people and seeing the bands I want to see, even if it's only a couple. I will probably enjoy AWOLNATION, Cage The Elephant, and The Kooks more than KOL, but still will be better than anything else I can be doing that weekend!

    Anyone live in DE? I dont really want to camp this year...

  • Terrible. A bunch of retreads from the last few years and nobody that you can't see in your town most likely. I think I've finally given up on Firefly as its starting to target teens and EDM nonsense.

    Although a weak year for most festivals.

    Hey Dave, the theater in Wilmington is gonna be getting an upgrade as well. New recliners, like the ones you'd actually have at home. Looks pretty cool.
  • eeriepadaveeeriepadave Posts: 42,055
    cool, yeah the one in Edgemont got upgraded a few months back. Only thing I don't really like about the upgraded theaters is that you have to pick your seat.

    No shit? I did not know that. When I was visiting Syria couple years back, they had a theater over there that would put ours to shame, but they to, you had to pick your seats. Weird

    I have every intention of trying to go to at least just Sunday. Still trying to find an affordable way to do that, since they don't sell single day tix and I can't go Saturday, and not overwhelmingly dying to go Thurs or Fri. But Sun is a must for me, if I can work it out.

    Awesome! if you are in the area send me a PM and we can try to meet up.

    On another note, they released the map, and there are only 2 water refill stations inside the festival...I'm not looking forward to the long lines...

    Citizen Cope, Sublime, Snoop, Gary Clark. Jr. and Cage and Run the Jewels, are all the real deal. So is Paul effing McCartney, for that matter. It should be fun.
