Just outside of the tristate area, Firefly draws in crowds from all around to the otherwise unsuspecting Delaware woods. Firefly is largely based in pop music, though frequently features it artists from a variety of genres as its headliners, turning upstate into a youthful haven throughout June, as fans are ready to camp it out in the rustic setting in trade for afternoon to late night parties.
Headliners: Death Cab for Cutie, Courtney Barnett, Panic! at the Disco, Post Malone
Other acts to check out: New Jersey-originated rapper 070 Shake, aka Danielle Balbuena, blends danceable house-inspired beats with minimal, singsong vocal cadence; Rubblebucket, purveyors of wild indie pop; Emo Nite, a popular party-throwing crew that’ll be laying down tracks from the popular ’00s MySpace bands.
Concerts featuring over a hundred world class musicians, performing on three stages in the city’s downtown area, over 100,000 spectators and around 200 accredited press reporters.
