Re-Cap: Saturday at Firefly Festival
Firefly Festival 2013 re-caps: Friday | Saturday | Sunday
Of the three days of music at Firefly, we were most excited about Saturday’s lineup. It was an eclectic, high-quality selection of artists that really stood out compared to Friday and Sunday.
We started our day with Japandroids. These guys were in our list of top-five must see acts, and their set was everything we expected. We have complained a bit about the lack of rock bands on this year’s lineup, but Japandroids essentially made up for that gap by itself. The Canadian two-piece had a ton of raw energy for such an early set, and the guys seemed to really enjoy what they were doing. This was the band’s last show on a long tour, and Japandroids left nothing on stage–though, they may have left some fireworks in the campgrounds.

By now, you already have the low-down on all of Friday’s artists. This week we will school you on what Saturday has to offer. We bitched a lot about schedule conflicts on Friday. Saturday has a few doozies of its own, but not quite so bad. Of the three days, this is probably the most solid schedule top-to-bottom. It also makes a lot more sense now that Firefly released an updated festival map.
