I know the last thing you’re thinking about right now is next spring, but Dover, Delaware’s insanely popular Firefly Music Festival dropped some news today that could get you in the early-planning spirit. This morning on Twitter, they posted the lineup for the 2016 festival, taking place June 16-19. Headlining musicians include Mumford & Sons, Florence & the Machine, Kings of Leon and soooo many other bucket-list acts.

Passes go on sale Friday, November 20th at 11 am — just in time to snatch them up and stuff them in someone’s stocking over the holidays. General admission passes start at $279, and camping packages will also be available. Organizers say attendees can expect the return of Festival favorites, like Dogfish Head Brewery and popular mix-and-mingle areas, like the Beercade, Coffee House, Market, Thicket, and Hammock Hangout. They also promise a few added attractions that will be announced later.

Pre-planning may be a great idea, like we wrote in February, the Festival has been rising in popularity since it began in 2012, when it drew 30,000 visitors. In 2015, that number swelled to 90,000. For more information, and to snag those passes, go here. Check out the full lineup below, which includes 2015 Best of Philly winner for Best Musician, Son Little.
