[wincow16]

Kanye - The Black Keys - Childish Gambino - Florence

I know this won't happen.

Foo Fighters • The Who • Childish Gambino • Post Malone • Vampire Weekend

[Jeremy Jamm]

Foo Fighters 2.0 sounds about right. I’ve given up well ever get another legend headliner, or even something marginally unique like Nine Inch Nails or QoTSA. I think it’s rap and recycled acts from previous years with whoever decides to festival whore that particular year. Maybe something lucky like the Strokes.

Foo Fighters - Childish Gambino - The Strokes - Travis Scott

[Doctor Doctor]

If you want to be real kool - Tune Squad or Flint Tropics jerseys are the way to go.

Take out Pearl Jam and Gorillaz, add Post Malone, and that seems about right

Or the classic: this is a good sign!

Dates are June 20-23 (still not sure if it'll be 4 days though). Fully owned by AEG. If Panorama is done, maybe Firefly will get some needed upgrades. Hopefully ticket prices won't be crazy.

[JustKillingTime]

i think this is good.

hopefully they'll improve the stages, expanding beyond hip hop/pop/alt/rock/cheese edm is also good. I wouldn't mind losing thursday as well. Best thing they mentioned is improvements to camping.

[wincow16]

Fuck Yea. Change the name of the fest to Coachella East for all I care, this is awesome.

One Request, please bring the disco shark next year.

[christiandavid]

I still love how people actually thought they'd compete dates with bonnaroo

[gocatsnu]

This is technically the 3rd weekend in June still

give me a techno stage in the woods 

[dreadpirateroberts]

Some thoughts:

Does this mean that they’ll finally bring the big screen that Coachella and Panorama uses to the Woodlands? I hope so.

Since they are bringing Karlin on board, I hope this means they plan on bringing more and better EDM acts.

With this date change, I hope it’ll convince bands with tour plans for Europe to end their US fest circuit in the Woodlands and not Bonnaroo.

[iaredani]

Dates are not different. It’s the 3rd weekend (Fri-Sun) in June like always. Father’s Day is the 3rd Sunday in June every year. Glastonbury is The 4th weekend in June. Like always. Nothing has changed folks. Just AEG taking over.
I really hope we get that gorgeous Main Stage though

[KPO]

I’ll sacrifice the big screens if they book a little more like they did in 16. The past two years have been atrocious. I’m sure they have sold fine enough but yikes the lineups have dropped an embarrassing amount in quality

Pearl Jam | Frank Ocean | Gorillaz | Tame Impala | Sia

Cage The Elephant | Paramore | Interpol | Young The Giant

Pearl Jam dream is over for this fest now that’s its completely AEG. They completely hate AEG

[JustKillingTime]

best case scenario - AEG recognizes this is the only major all genre camping fest in the northeast and turns this into coachella-light
worst case scenario - they dive hardcore into making this some hangout/mia hybrid of shittiness

realistic case scenario - minor incremental improvements to booking quality, production, and festival experience that come with a huge corporation backing it, and you can't really tell much of a difference.

Being a young festival, firefly doesn't really have an identity, but it has a core group of dedicated attendees. They're in a pretty good position to do with it what they want.

[nolefromde]

I'd just like a midcard that doesn't fall off the earth 20% of the way through the lineup.

For real.  This year was especially bad in that regard.  I still can't get over that fucking friday night pre-headliner slot and having to choose between Cold War Kids, logic, or god damn cheat codes.  

I think having somebody new book the lineup should hopefully be a welcomed change for Firefly.  Hopefully a lot of the booking patterns of the last few years will stop as well, like booking so many damn washed up rappers.  I'm curious how many people actually went in to see Warren G this year. 

[Jeremy Jamm]

I just don’t want to lose the Wed premier camping/Thursday. Seems they might drop it to a 3 day festival.
