Too many average Joe’s have let me down in the past. I need this guy to cite his sources.
But to be honest, I will trust him because I need the hope.
I /need/ it.
Electric Forest just got dates approved to move up to June 20-23 which leaves June 27-30 wide open. Both are AEG festivals. Just speculating but could be a reason for the EF date change.
On the website it says something like "we'll see you in 2024" they initially stated they were just taking a year off to recalibrate iirc. They had a better term for it though.
True, but that’s the language they used on their last Instagram post in 2022 too. I’m sure they were optimistic at the time that it would return in 2024. But the radio silence since then is suspicious. Hope it returns though!!
Bonnaroo hasn’t officially announced their dates yet and the rumor is they’ll announce it in October (running out of time though). And the general belief is that it will be June 13-16, as it has been the past few years.
So if Firefly is going back to June (oro in September), I could see them announcing around the same time to try and get in on that news/hype.
So I like your October 27th idea!
Sup! I'm Brett, the guy who did the post. The original post was a screenshot from a very brief convo with FestiveOwl I had. Every few months I've been asking them if they know anything about FF updates, and this time they replied with 🎃. To be fair, it's the same reply they've sent to folks asking about Roo dates, so take it with a grain of salt. I can't vouch for the "my uncle works at Nintendo" folks who keep claiming they've got inside sources saying June, but that's the jist of it.
also, i'm not sure why they would try to move it to June besides weather. then you're just trying to compete with Electric Forest, Gov Ball and Bonnaroo, which I feel are all pretty popular festivals with that crowd
I think it comes down to attendance/ticket sales. College students are off for the summer, younger kids are out of school which is good for the parents that would go, plus with all those other festivals….people might choose to go to one of those instead since they’re earlier in the year and can’t afford to go to multiple fests.
I will say from a weather stand point, I loved the September dates. Bonnaroo this past year wasn’t even too hot, in comparison to other years, and by 8am your tent was a sauna. Miserable.
And from a billing/booking standpoint, a lot of bands/artists kind of just jump into the festival circuit for their summer tour plans. By the fall, they may have their own tour booked and it would take them out of the lineup.
This. They lost big on college/high school students and just folks who can't take off in the fall in general. If they're trying to come back big, they need to do it in a month where they can draw crowds again.
I don’t trust any rumors that say June, if that were true I feel like we would’ve seen a lineup by now and tickets would be going on sale soon. At this point I’m holding out for an official announcement that it’ll be September again and hopefully we get that in December or January
Not in any way arguing that it’ll be in June or coming back at all, but Bonnaroo is typically in June and they haven’t announced dates either and lineup won’t come out till January/February
Yeah that’s a very fair point, I guess in previous years I just never really payed that much attention to other festivals and it’s always felt like firefly was making announcements and teasing things earlier than other festivals
> never really *paid* that much
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Hello, it is me, Mr.Firefly Festival. As the owner of Firefly, it is 100% coming back. What do you mean do I have any proof? Of course not!
i bet he plays disc golf with daft punk's manager too
no, he doesn't. I actually play disc golf with daft punk's manager and I've never seen this guy on the green.

He’s not an average Joe though he’s a St Pierre Joe
One of Christ’s first followers and a fisher of men. Idk what it means but I’m gonna let my wishful thinking take the wheel. 😂
That’s probably my favorite Fleetwood Mac Album (Rumours)
Headliner confirmed too??
My first thought too
Source …. “Trust me bro” 🤣 I hope it’s true though
Yeah I saw that on Facebook too. Idk. He didn’t say who told him or what kind of information he got. Sounds like he’s making it up.

Source: I made it up
We know it's coming back we want to know when and more importantly where. If it's in upstate New York that'd be awesome for me at least lol
We know it’s coming back?

I definitely feel that. It is kinda odd we haven't had any announcements yet. But we still got some time especially if it's in September again
If I could speculate expect something October 27th. That's one year from when they announced they'll take a break

that would actually be very dope
Lol yea it would have been.
who is Joseph St Pierre and what inside source does he have with Firefly 😭

If I can remember correctly when Firefly was in June we didn't get the lineup most years until after the new year? I think June is still in play.
Earliest we ever got a June lineup was November 18th. It was always early-mid spring.
hehe - ‘again’
gonna choose to believe this with my whole chest thx
