Firefly Festival announces 2016 dates

Rob Kalesse/Delaware Public Media

Just days after hosting 90 thousand music fans in Dover, Firefly Festival organizers are already looking to next year.

Red Frog Events announced Tuesday that the dates for the 2016 edition of the four-day music fest have been locked in.  It will be held June 16th through 19th 2016.

An initial pre-sale on four-day passes will be held next month starting on July 16th

Before that, Red Frog will be preoccupied this weekend with its inaugural Big Barrel Country Music festival on the grounds at Dover International Speedway.    

And estimated 35 thousand fans are expected for that three-day event – which starts Friday and features Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood as the headliners.
