The lineup for this year’s Firefly Music Festival was released this morning and its safe to say that no one saw this coming. Festival organizers Red Frog Events have really stepped up their game from last year, announcing Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Foster the People as this year's headliners. The festival made its debut in Dover, Delaware last year and was a huge success, with over 30,000 people in attendance. The lineup featured an interesting mix of indie, folk, alternative, and hip-hop artists and the festival added some extra flare with attractions like a hot air balloon, wine vineyard, beer brewery and hammock hangout.
