Firefly 2013 Lineup Predictions and Discussion

[Paul]

I'm reaching a bit here but Paul McCartney.

They said you may have already missed one. Back on the 4th they posted a picture of The Beatles.

It is unusual for bands to play festivals twice in a row. Though I could see Imagine Dragons returning since they were billed so low last year. No chance for McCartney. Postal service may be possible since death cab played last year. If Ben kep in touch with organizers it may happen.

[Paul]

There is a chance for Paul McCartney. He has donated millions of dollars to St. Judes. Red Frog is going to have a therapy center named after them at St. Judes.

I know this is very unlikely but those ties are there.

[Paul]

His new album should be out before Firefly

[asuburbanman]

Hey, dream big right.

Kansrocksas is the weekend after Firefly. So far they have Kendrick Lamar, FUN., MGMT, Tiesto, and Avett Brothers are all reportedly playing. All could be possibilities.

The wording of the clue I think almost guarantees its imagine dragons...and I think they will also like to have them back to show people firefly's undercard is filled with up and coming bands...if it turns out to be Paul McCartney that would just be an incredible pull for a 2nd year festival,just crazy. The anticipation is definitely building can't wait for the lineup hoping for some big things and nice surprises.....would love to get either Titus andronicus or river city extension on this festival

Yeah I think it's imagine dragons or fun. River City would be awesome, as would Lucero

All I'm hoping for is Postal Service. It would literally complete the "Bands I need to see before I die" Got to see Death Cab last year, and I never thought I'd even have the chance to see them! If Imagine Dragons is back, that's so exciting because I missed them last year. Tegan and Sara would also blow my mind hole. Really excited for all the improvements to an already incredible experience. The later curfew is awesome!

I know this has already been pretty much confirmed, but just came across this seatgeek.com/blog/concerts/firefly-music-festival-tickets

It says Atlas Genius will be playing on Friday at 1pm.

[Paul]

Good find.

Looks like they post rumors too.

[Paul]

Kings of Leon got added to another festival. Looks like their summer is going to be full of headliner spots

[asuburbanman]

They are overseas for Firefly though. I'm now thinking Strokes, Postal Service, and Mumford. On the fence whether FUN. Would get top billing or second line.

[Paul]

Red Frog reached out to Walk the Moon to play again this year. They declined but said they would be interested in 2014.

Too early to start a 2014 rumors thread?

[Paul]

and it shows Firefly isn't against getting repeat bands

[djc5403]

another fest that weekend that rules out some bands is www.bestkeptsecret.nl/line-up/

takes away arctic monkeys, alt-j, portishead, sigur ros, belle and sebastian and more.

I also think fun is a no now because they have a show in Paris on the 20th. Im really interested to see who the headliners are because I feel like I have no clue and I really usually can figure out at least one by this point
