From Bob Dylan and His Band to Twenty One Pilots and The Weekend, the lineup for the sixth edition of Delaware’s Firefly Music Festival is officially set.

Close to 100,000 music fans are expected to descend on Dover this summer to hear from those headliners along with artists like Chance the Rapper, Muse, Weezer and Thirty Seconds to Mars. More than 135 acts will perform over the four-day festival. General admission and VIP tickets are now on sale starting at $289. There’s also an extra cost to camp on the festival grounds.

“This year’s lineup boasts the most fan-driven acts we’ve ever had mixed with a variety of up and coming artists and chart-topping performers,” said Christiane Pheil, creative programming director for the event. “The 2017 festival is drawing the highest level of excitement from our team.”

The festival’s first five years have made a big impact on the local economy. A study by the University of Delaware found Firefly created the economic equivalent of 578 full-time jobs. Firefly’s $68 million addition to the state economy in 2014 averages out to more than $850 spent per attendee. The event also contributed nearly $10 million in state, local and federal taxes.
