Firefly 2017 has touted its status as the first “fan-curated” festival, releasing a video that seemed to indicate that 21 Pilots was a top pick.

Firefly has carved out a solid niche in the regional music scene with offerings that appeal to 20 and 30 somethings with the funds to attend the event and pay for amenities that include craft beer, upscale food offerings and “glamping,” or upscale camping.

The event brings millions of dollars to the state and a Dover area  tourism economy that has struggled with a long-running attendance drop at the two NASCAR weekends at Dover International Speedway.

The track does get a small cut of the revenues from Firefly, which is held on track property.
