A cheaper alternative to the big, name-brand festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo and Governors Ball, Firefly Festival in Dover, Delaware, is known for bringing similar talent with a focus on up and coming names at a better price point. It announced its 2015 today and will be headlined by Kings Of Leon, The Killers, Morrissey, Snoop Dogg, Foster The People, Zedd and others.
The third major headliners has not been announced yet, but the lineup will feature a variety of acts across genres including Modest Mouse, Bastille, Foster The People, Hozier, Kid Cudi, Steve Aoki, Spoon, Sublime With Rome, Cage The Elephant, Awolnation and plenty others via Billboard.
Hip-hop fans will be excited to see named like Run The Jewels, Logic, Citizen Cope and Raury on the lineup. The electronic acts have a varied array of styles with artists like Kygo, Tycho, Rustie, Alison Wonderland and SNBRN all joining the party. Up-and-coming pop acts like Ryn Weaver, Zella Day, How To Dress Well, Zola Jesus, and Elliphant will also be on the card.
Sticking to its roots, rock is well represented on the lineup with the big acts like the aforementioned Kings Of Leon and Modest Mouse, while also allowing smaller acts in Hey Rosetta!, The Griswolds, Echosmith and others.
After a spotty record on his recent tour, the question must be raised -- will Morrissey show up? The Ebola scare is largely gone, so he can't use that excuse this time. Maybe there will be Vegas odds on it.
Firefly Music Festival enters its fourth year in 2015 at the Dover International Speedway, home for Nascar races. The 4-day camping festival will take place on June 18-21. Tickets go on sale later this year. Head to Firefly's website for more information.
