    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.

    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.
