Firefly 2013 Lineup Predictions and Discussion

[pdoody]

Never too early to get started I guess...

Feel free to post your predictions for next year, and your logic if necessary.

I'm gonna say the Roots will be a possible pre headliner

[Paul]

The Roots could fill John Legend's spot and I wouldn't be mad

Watch the Throne/Jay Z solo - A new Jay Z album is in the works and a Watch the Throne album could be in the works for next year. I've seen Jay solo and Kanye solo. I would rather just have Jay show up but Watch The Throne would be amazing.

Mumford and Sons - New album coming out in September. Could definitely pull enough people in with a headlining spot.

Die Antwoord - New album will probably be out before June. I was hoping they would replace PP but they have only done a few tours in the states

Pearl Jam - They always seem to be touring. I think they would stop by the first state and would blow it away.

Florence and the Machine - I've seen them before and I would see them again.

Passion Pit - They need to make up for their last minute cancellation

B.o.B
Stephen Marley
Childish Gambino
Gaslight Anthem
Foster the People
Flogging Molly
Social D
Alabama Shakes

those are just a few that i would love to see show up

Firefly did state they were
trying to lift the 11:00 curfew in Dover, so if late night shows were available that would definitely give us more acts to work with. Who would make a good late night act at Firefly?

[elbubbo]

The Roots and/or Mumford is all it would take for me to make a return visit. Great live acts.

I think if they can go late you'll see a jam band step in, for some noodle-dancing goodness.

[Paul]

I really hope it pushed back some.

Being from the area I know that it is possible. Don't expect 3 or 4am shows though, expect them to end by 1am.

Last call in Delaware is at 1 and it just makes sense for the shows to end around that time.

Of Monsters and Men

I have just created a "Bring Radiohead to Firefly Music Festival 2013" group on facebook. Please join! Let's see if we can build enough momentum to make it happen. Hey, it couldn't hurt.......

[Paul]

I'm usually against anything Radiohead related.

However, it would be mind blowing to see them in Delaware. Maybe a live performance would change my mind about them. I know it did for The Flaming Lips

[benediction]

Alex Clare
RedHotChillPeppers
STP

[Paul]

I'm really interested if they are going to stay with the "Alternative Rock" headliners or branch out.

If they stick with the rock headliners I really think Muse will headline Saturday and Mumford will headline Friday. MMJ/ Pearl Jam/ Foster the People/Kings of Leon are all possible headliners for Sunday

[pdoody]

I see Florence and the machine there next year. not sure if they would headline though.

[Paul]

Apparently Pearl Jam is a dead lock to be there next year.

I read an article that says otherwise. Eddie wants to work on his new solo album and Pearl Jam won't be touring for a while. If we see Pearl Jam it might be a one off show. I think the more logical thing is that Eddie Vedder plays solo or brings along a couple of friends to jam out.

[anthonypov]

I don't think Pearl Jam would be there. It'd be nice but I don't see them breaking from the "time off" thing. I do expect to see Grizzly Bear, Muse, Green Day (hopefully not, sorry for the bias though), MGMT, Phantogram, No Age, Radiohead is almost certainly a no since the extensive 2012 tour, BUT that does not mean no for Atoms for Peace as well, the xx, Band of Horses, Arcade Fire, Phoenix, I know everyone loves to say Daft Punk but they actually touring for a fact next year just a question of when and where.


I base all these assumptions off of album release dates, and the festival favorites who hit all of them.

[Paul]

Daft Punk would be huge. Atoms for Peace is a possibility, I would support both of those bands.

Ed Sheeran would be a great concert to see at Firefly
