Hip-Hop’s Eminem will be headline this year Firefly Music Festival making it his first-ever Delaware appearance.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that he will join Kendrick Lamar and rockers Arctic Monkeys and the Killers for the four day annual musical event.

This is the first time that the festival has featured a pair of top hip-hop headliners.

The festival grew from around 35-thousand in 2012 attendance…to 90-thousand.

This year organizers got fan to vote online for what bands, food and activities they wanted to see.

The News Journal reports that as a result a younger crowd is expected to attend with two vendors telling the paper that they were told to expect 30 percent fewer fans to show up than in the past two years.
