FireFly is here! As we all pack up the cars and head to Dover tomorrow, its time to start planning your schedule (if you haven’t done so thus far). Yesterday, the official FireFly app was updated with the newest maps, schedules and activities.
To help you with the process of picking which acts to see and where, we have supplied a list of the acts were are most excited to see, on each stage!
FIREFLY MAIN STAGE: Outkast & The Foo Fighters; sorry, I can’t pick just one. Outkast is stopping by FireFly as part of their 40 festival tour. And after seeing them at Governor’s Ball, I KNOW it’s going to be a wild dance party that no one is going to miss Saturday night. And because I pray to the holy god of Dave Grohl, I am beyond excited to see The Foo Fighters. To me, they were the most unique band to see on our festival line up since they aren’t on any other major bills this summer. Always a good time to kick off the weekend with some rock and roll.

THE BACKYARD: At this point, we almost all expect to see Pretty Lights at major festivals, but the most exciting thing to me is that Pretty Lights is RIGHT after Outkast on Saturday night, so the fun basically doesn’t stop till 2 in the morning. In the woods. Heck. Yes.

THE LAWN: I’ve been waiting to see Childish Gambino all year long. He’s closing out The Lawn stage on Sunday night and I can’t be more excited. His album Because the Internet came out right before the end of 2013, and since then, I have been listening to it non stop. Now, if Chance the Rapper comes out performs a few songs with him (which I can only assume WILL happen since Chance plays on Friday and WILL be at Firefly…) then we can leave FireFly as real happy campers.

THE PORCH: If you already listened to the Verano Mix from Goldroom on the Dubera blog than you should DEFINITELY be ready and excited to see Goldroom on the Porch on Saturday. Be ready to get funky and come dance with me!

THE FOREST: Kicking off the party on Thursday at FireFly is RAC. From what I’ve seen, they had awesome performances at Ultra and Hangout and are traveling to Lolla after FireFly. Their newest remixed songs on their Strangers album are extremely addictive and are going to be fun to watch.

THE COFFEE HOUSE: All hail the guy who suggested The Coffee House stage at FireFly; you deserve a raise, good sir! The Coffee House stage is meant for fest goers to grab a coffee, chill out for a half hour, and catch a raw session from musicians performing at FireFly. I’ll be grabbing a latte and catching England’s Jake Bugg as he tears into his guitar on Sunday evening.

THE BIG BREAK: As a female millennial, I thoroughly enjoy musicians who refer to themselves as “brat pop” and post photos of mass amounts of donuts. Yes, you heard me correctly, I am excited to see up and comers HolyChild on the Big Break stage. I discovered their tunes from a friend who warned me that their music was extremely catchy. Stoked to see how they translate to a live show. Catch them Saturday at 2 pm to get your day at FireFly started.
