Less than a day after the second annual Firefly Music Festival wrapped up in Dover, event coordinators have already announced plans to be back in 2014.
According to Firefly’s official website, the festival will return to The Woodlands at Dover International Speedway June 20-22, 2014.
Pre-sale tickets go on sale this Wednesday June 26 at 9 a.m.
“Firefly fans showed great enthusiasm this past weekend and we’re pleased to announce our return to The Woodlands in 2014,” said Greg Bostrom, director of the Firefly Music Festival in a press release. “We’re also thrilled to continue our relationship with our friends at Dover International Speedway and the rest of the Delaware community for many years to come.”
Red Frog Events, the production company behind the festival, also announced a 10-year agreement with Dover International Speedway for exclusive rights to The Woodlands as a music venue.
The three-day festival attracted 65,000 concertgoers this year, more than double the crowd from the first festival in 2012.
