Summer is for camping, fact. Being outside under the stars in the great wide open… what could be better than that? How about adding in close friends, music-loving strangers and the best entertainers in the business? Enter east coast's Firefly Music Festival: a three-day music and arts centric campout extravaganza, featuring the top names in reggae, alternative, hip hop, pop and EDM. The east coast gets a bit muggy in the summertime, but luckily, Firefly Fest lands right at the brink. Spanning June 21st through the 23rd 2019, Firefly returns to Dover's International Speedway in Delaware – the perfect setting to kick off the season.
The lineup for Firefly 2019 has dropped… and so has everyone's jaws.
Dubbed “The Great Atlantic Campout”, Firefly offers a myriad of hospitality options, ranging from your basic camping (you, know, tents and stuff) all the way to glamping and RV packages. Not up for the Great Outdoors? That's fine, too, considering the Dover Downs Hotel and Casino resides a stone's throw away from the fest. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but the hotel is conveniently adjacent to the festival gates. Don't have the money for a hotel or a tent? Firefly has your back; simply add on camping equipment rentals when you purchase your weekend passes. Speaking of passes and add-ons, a shuttle service or suites are available to book now, as well as general admission, VIP, Super VIP and Super Duper VIP tickets… but let's get to those later.
First, let's chat about why this year will be bigger and better than ever. The lineup for Firefly 2019 has dropped… and so has everyone's jaws. Not only that, but the Firefly crew has released the daily agenda! Headlining Friday is alt pop heavy-hitters Panic! at the Disco, along with rap's Tyler, The Creator and EDM chart topper Zedd.

Wowzha.
Saturday keeps the party at an all-time high with headlner Travis Scott, as well as Kygo and Death Cab For Cutie. If that's not diverse enough, Brockhampton, Young The Giant and Alison Wonderland has a knack for hyping up crowds. Further Saturday entertainers include $uicideboys, Dashboard Confessional, King Princess, Bishop Briggs, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Phosphorescent, Lauren Daigle, Tank and the Bangas, 4B, Hippo Campus, Snail Mail, Saba, Flora Cash, Taylor Bennett, Joywave, Masonair, Max, Alec Benjamin, JPEGMAFIA, Lee Fields & The Expressions, Emo Nite, Little Simz, Let's Eat Grandma, The Midnight, Bloodpop®, Great Good Fine OK, Rubblebucket, Max Frost, Half Alive, Lawrence, Lolo Zouai, Ziggy Alberts, Flipp Dinero, FM-84, PLS&TY, Kid Quill, Rakeem Miles and Yoke Lore.
