In my head, and from paying attention, this is what could potentially happen...
either: KoL / Jane's Addiction (JA, I fear, is just wishful thinking) Macca / Petty Furthur / moe. / TAB / Phil & Friends / YMSB (jamband is so much more difficult to call right now)
Where that puts Mum I don't know. If we get a BIG NAME jam band- is mum before or after them I don't know, they couldn't possibly bill them before someone like Furthur or Trey, right?
Tempted to throw Dylan back on the "legacy" potentials- but not before I see some press about a 2013 tour
If what mobile said is right and they're challenging 'Roo then Furthur/some part of the Dead would be a GIGANTIC get- since they're never setting foot on the farm after the Kanye malarky. It would be a direct shot at them since they have been such a mainstay at the farm since the beginning until Kanye pissed them off and drove them out.
I feel like I am leaving something out- and there might have been changes to these guys schedules that I am unaware of as of right now that derails this.
This seems reasonable to me:
Friday - Kol w/ a strong EDM act (Bassnectar, PL, mau5) at XBox to compensate for the soft headliner
Saturday - Petty
Sunday - Furthur/Phil
The Furthur/Phil compensates for the otherwise weak headliners. Also, of the other jambands listed here I think TAB is the only big enough to headline at HMF.
Can you explain the whole kayne incident to me? I haven't heard this before, sorry if I'm just out of the loop...
No problem. Basically back in 2008 Kanye was headlining the fest for his "in the dark" - or "glow in the dark" tour. Kanye demanded that there was "silence on the farm" for his set. Phil Lesh & Friends had a 4 hour set slot and because of Kanyes' demand of "silence" they made Phil get off the stage (about 2 hours early) and then Kanye didn't even go on stage until about 5am I believe. PJ also had to cut their set short a few songs- granted I believe they were late as well.
Anyways- Phil & Bob came out shortly after in an interview saying that they'll never play Roo again
I hope you're being sarcastic/ironic. Because ... Damn.
Don't care about him, but that's shizzy that happened to them.
That's not exactly a totally accurate description of what happened, and the interview I believe, never actually happened. Someone correct me of I'm wrong

Upon some research, I found a photo of Kanye at a party that night when he was supposed to be on stage.

I could be wrong as well- 2008 was a long time ago. Long enough for shiz to get jumbled in my head. They haven't been billed since then- and they were there every year before so...I'd say that The Dead is part of the reason why 'Roo grew so fast
EDIT:: surfbum is right- I can't find any credible sources documenting this. I always just took word of mouth on this one- considering Kanyes reputation of being an ass-goblin

Anyone here have exquisite skills in photoshop and a lot of time on their hands today needs to make a fake lineup poster. Sling their new logo in there and use that background color: sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/69477_10151341448707743_922602728_n.jpg Maybe have an octopus attacking a yellow submarine up in there. Make it absolutely ridiculous just to troll the fuuck out of these people on facebook. Something like:
Paul McCartney | Tool | Phish Beck | Queens of the Stone Age | Yeah Yeah Yeahs Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds | Vampire Weekend | The Knife | Dead Can Dance Bassnectar | Pretty Lights | Steve Aoki Primus | Gov't Mule | Leftover Salmon | YMSB Snoop Lion | Steel Pulse | Midnite Erykah Badu | Nas | Kendrick Lamar | Death Grips untz | untz | untz Tame Impala | Dinosaur Jr. | The Breeders | Swans
Somebody please do this.
Also, HMF organizers: If you're reading this - I'm going to Waka instead of Hangout if your lineup isn't out by the time Waka ticket prices go up on Saturday. Get your shiz together.

I just wanna know what people on FB think they're accomplishing writing their little love letters to Hangout. "Hangout Fest I love you and I am not going to complain because I know its going to be great!"
....cool, they don't care- what? you think that you're gonna get hooked up with free tickets for that, don't you?

I know you guys have pretty much ruled out Phish... but they're 100% not playing. They have to practice for like a month before they go on tour... and with TAB playing shows until June. Their rumor is (according to .net and others)... that we won't see Phish until late June or early July. Just couldn't lurker anymore.
Hell, by that time we'll probably have tons of bands that have released their summer tour (Phish probably included). My money is going to start going elsewhere unless I see a lineup VERY soon. Flights, hotels, and concert tickets are usually my main expenses in the summer... I can't holdout for much longer.
If someone actually gets to making the poster please use Skream and Benga for the untz acts. The dub/dance kids will lose their friggin shiz. And then add some whatever's most popular now. I don't keep up.

With all the other festivals releasing lineups, I am surprised that Hangout is willing to wait so long. I'm sure there are a lot of undecided people out there that need to book travel, etc...

Once again: they don't care about the people who are nervously trying to finalize travel plans. All of the fence-sitters can go to Waka, EFF, Governors Ball, or Mountain Jam, and Hangout will still sell out in advance. It's obnoxious that the lineup isn't out yet, especially with no word from Hangout on when it's coming, but this delay isn't going to hurt them as long as they can slap together 3 well known headliners, a handful of noodlers, and enough untz to fill the tent for 3 days.
P-DOG is completely right. HO will sell without any issue. 3 solid HLers, UNTZ, and some picking is all you need. The beach sells the rest! If the vague man that was on here earlier was right, I doubt Macca. But I don't he is credible- because that means he has insides to two different fests. Highly Unlikely! Starting to doubt Macca my self though. Kinda back to Petty or Green Day for #1(sorry for the unpopular drop there) Green Day does owe Huku a performance, or Huku could just be done with them- not sure how to read that situation. Did someone say something about a exclusivity clause in which a HLer at HO can not play another fest for the summer? HO is not a 85,000 person festival that can bully other fests. Most fests now just book who is touring with each fest bringing in their "exclusive" books for the year. HO will be no different- no need to try and be a bully. There def is a radius clause but no exclusivity clause.
