Firefly Music Festival 2019

Dover, Delaware, United States

Firefly Music Festival 2019: Delaware’s Hottest Summer Music Festival

Open-air musically-charged revelries during the summer don’t get any better than Dover’s annual Firefly Music Festival. The multi-genre event takes place at The Woodlands of the Dover International Speedway, which turns into one big festive party in the woods for several days. There will be several designated zones with carefully curated fun experiences awaiting: go crazy at the craft beer bars showcasing proudly local Delaware craft beer, or take a disco nap at The Nook, where you can unwind on hammocks set up amongst the trees. The food is not to be missed: Instagram-worthy refreshments that cater to all preferences and diets await you at the grounds, so you can be sure that you’ve got the sustenance you need to party through the festival. Then by night, the woods come alive with thousands of sparkling lights that create the most magical setup for live DJs and bands. When it’s time to hit the sack, you get to rest at no less than The Great Atlantic Campout, one of the most famous aspects of the festival.

From sunrise to sunrise, the Firefly Music Festival is sure to take your breath away with invigorating and fun experiences topped off with spectacular music.

This year’s lineup features a range of popular headlining acts. Friday will see crowd favourite Big Wild and rising talent Yung Bae take to the stage. Saturday will welcome French DJ and tropical house producer Klingande and American electronic producer Goldroom. Finally, Sunday will be headlined by Norweigan producer Matoma alongside South African duo Goldfish. Plus, with all the stages from day to night, you get to choose if you want to dance through the morning, attend intimate concerts, or both. This is one summer holiday you’re not going to want to miss!
