Lineup Announced For Firefly 2016
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Are you ready to head back to the Woodlands?
This morning the lineup was announced for the 2016 edition of the Firefly Music Festival, returning to Dover, DE for its fifth year June 16th through the 19th.
This year's four day festival is headlined by the newly electric Mumford & Sons, Nashville rockers Kings Of Leon, the epic Florence & The Machine, and house hero Deadmau5. Kings Of Leon will be making good on their 2015 slot that was rained out.
There's much more pop this time around at Firefly with Ellie Goulding, Disclosure, Elle King, and Major Lazer all scheduled to take the stage. Ludacris, A$AP Rocky, and Vince Staples lead the pack for hip hop. Other standouts from the over 100 artists at this year's festival are the new look Blink 182, Death Cab For Cutie, Tame Impala, The 1975, Of Monsters and Men, and Chvrches.
Curiously in between all the millennial bands of interest is Earth, Wind And Fire. It's not the first time Firefly has gone throwback for a lineup selection, but Paul McCartney – last year's headliner – is a bit of a safer bet.
Pack your camping supplies and your wallet for this trip. Tickets go on sale Friday November 20th at 11 a.m. via FireflyFestival.com. They start at $279.
