    Apparently Bonaroo has been teasing out their entire lineup. So glad Firefly isn't going this route and is just dropping the whole lineup @ 8am. 6hrs to go...can't wait! 8-):D

    one more hour :D Headliner predictions: Pearl Jam, Arcade Fire, and Blur. Other possibilities would be Mumford and Sons and Tom Petty. Hoping for the first 3 though.

    Yeah but Bonnaroo got Weird al to do their announcement :lol:

    Didn't see it say pj, wtf?!?!? That blurred pic def says pearl jam.
  • well... no pearl jam, but Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are headlining, along with Foster The People and MGMT, so its not a bad lineup

    No PH but I am very happy with the lineup! Was not expecting most of those bands, but I am glad they are playing. I want to try to get pretty close to the front for a lot of the smaller ones this year. Gonna be an awesome weekend. And hopefully not as hot as last year.

  • Lots of solid bands but nobody that really oaks a wallop. I can check out most of them when they tour around here... Except Petty that's pretty legit. I think they took a slight step backwards this year with the lineup when this was the year that they could've jumped to the forefront of East Coast festivals if they pulled huge headliners. Might head down for a Saturday show depending on how the lineup shakes out though. These things are always a good time.

    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 :?

    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.
