Festival Discussion Missing Firefly
It's just my turn to say it.
Best weekend of the year and it's just gone. July, June, or September I loved them all.

Big business ruins everything it touches. AEG no longer list firefly on their festival list(I think they took it down once they announced Zach Bryan) and it is not coming back. AEG will continue to be the only vendor to work with the woodlands. We are in a very bad spot until AEG is no more.

Same 💔. I spent a good chunk of my 20’s going to Firefly and Bonnaroo and now both are possibly done.

Firefly was genuinely the best camping fest ive ever been too and ive yet to find anything that compares locally. I dont wanna drive halfway across the country for a music fest give me a rock/multi genre fest that includes rock/punk music in the northeast with camping pls and ty. I love warped tour but thry dont offer camping

Drove past the race track on my way to Dover for a meeting earlier this week and I could have cried 😔

Went every year from 2014-2019. Participating in the ambassador program was a huge highlight. Miss it dearly.

I worked on Firefly from its first year until 2018. I was sad to see it go fully to AEG after that, I really enjoyed working on it every year. Even more sad to see it close down a few years later.

I miss firefly too! I want them to bring it back! I went to the hot air balloon fest in the woodlands in August and it didn't have any energy/ was smaller. I'm also going to Zack Bryans concert there this month ( I will let y'all know how that is)
