Firefly Music Festival will reunite a handful of Coachella acts — including desert headliner The Black Keys — for its inaugural fest this July in Dover, Del.
• The Killers (Coachella 2009)
• The Black Keys (2004, 2011, headlining in 2012)
• Jack White (2008; also with The White Stripes in 2003 and The Dead Weather in 2010)
• Death Cab for Cutie (2004)
• The Flaming Lips (2004)
• Passion Pit (2010)
• Lupe Fiasco (2007, 2009)
• Girl Talk (2012)
• Michael Franti & Spearhead (2009)
• Cold War Kids (2008, 2011)
• Tinie Tempah (2011)
• AWOLNATION (2012)
• The Head and the Heart (2012)
• Grouplove (2012)
• Trampled By Turtles (2011)
• Mayer Hawthorne & The County (2010)
• Cults (2011)
• The Felice Brothers (2011)
• Mariachi El Bronx (2011)
• Matt Costa (2006)
• Ra Ra Riot (2010)
Still, even though many of the acts will have already played in the desert by the time they reach Dover this summer, I’m a bit jealous that the East Coast fest has also snagged the likes of Cake,Graffiti6 and the oh-so-infectious Penguin Prison.
