I just found out that there will be a major music festival happening in my state. Now, for some of you that may not seem like a big deal, but this is not Austin or Seattle…it’s Delaware! We don’t even have a large enough city to call our own…our entire state population isn’t even 1,000,000. We don’t even have as many people as Rhode Island and they are the smallest state AND to just show off, they do have a major city.
There is no real musical, art or culture scene going on here in Delaware either. That’s why I head to Philadelphia or Baltimore all the time. So, the fact that there is a big music festival starting up in Delaware is amazing news.
The festival is called Firefly and this is its first year. They chose Dover, DE because it is centrally located among some major metropolitan areas and does have the space for a festival of this size. The lineup includes the following (not an inclusive list):
Matt Costa by Two Arms Inc | Young the Giant by Scott Campbell
Ra Ra Riot by El Jefe Design | The Black Keys by Methane Studios
The Flaming Lips by Only More Never Less | Cold War Kids from Brad Kayal
You are going to have a blast!!! I have seen all these bands live and they are fantastic!
