Remember that one time, when Hangout wouldn't release their lineup and you made that fake poster and then they said they were going to release their lineup?

I've been a lurker for a while and have really enjoyed reading about the excellent trolling done today. Anyhow, decided to post because Wes Bailey (Keyboardist) of Moon Taxi just tweeted out your fake lineup with the words "Who knows"... So, for whatever it's worth. I think, as has been said, they will for sure be there and even if the rest of the speculation is nothing, it means your trolling has truly succeeded. So I say good work.

The fake lineup kind of, in a way, is a nice compiled and beautifully done organization of all of the rumors/confirmations that we have been discussing so far and puts them onto one platform.
I'd love to get a response from Hangout. The timing of this was perfect... defiantly think that the troll forced their hand into making an announcement.
I'm putting the schedule together in my head.... CURSE YOU ALL! But for real, that lineup poster is sick. I was even fooled for a second, until I realized there's no way Modest Mouse and Jim James would be that low and Paramore be that high.

haha yeah but some teen somewhere is pissing her pants because "paramore is going to be at hangout!" ...takes a lot of balls to post publicly that youre excited about such a thing..poor girl
Elev8- you gotta wear a shirt with your name on it or something so we can all buy you a beer- hell I won't speak for everyone but I want to buy you a beer on the beach for this one man haha
This fake might even make Bonnaroo look better. Those who were originally considering Hangout might be disappointed when Macca is not on the lineup. And then Bonnaroo's lineup comes out, and everyone's jaws drop.

Another long-time lurker here to thank elav8 for exquisite execution and especially wronginus for spawning the idea. Well done!
One question: The "Lineup Next Week" video link posted on FB by HO opens for no apparent reason with "Bob Hudson here on KRLA." Why? Coincidence that Hudson, while at KLRA, was one of the 1st dj's to play The Beatles in The U S of A? Long shot, but we're all grasping at straws, right?

I'll be sure to get a new shirt made with my logo on it (similar to my forum avatar) for the festival! Thanks a lot! May cannot get here soon enough. I almost don't even care about a lineup at this point. haha! ;D

Great fake Bayfest, we just need one big 80s arena Journey like band. Maybe Bon Jovi?

Nice! I'll be sure to start on that as soon as I see some early Bayfest promo art to try and work from. Haha...

You guys are gonna give people a heart attack.
You guys should make it real hetti. Like no one that the typical BayFest fan would know.
Does anyone remember what time the fest opened each day last year?
I want to say around 10:30-11am. Never got there that early, but I think I recall seeing people walking to the main stage around that time from our balcony.
Can someone explain something to me? Why was this fake lineup troll such a big deal? Great looking poster, but do people not make fakes for Hangout? I feel like you see dozens of pretty realistic fakes for Bonnaroo and Coachella each year and nobody falls for it. Is that not the case for Hangout, and hence why this was such a success?
Yes. It was a complete success. People did actually believe it was the actual lineup.
Got it. I was just confused, because if you did a fake (even one that well made) for Bonnaroo or Coachella or something, people would do the usual "kill yourself/get AIDS/get cancer/get cancerAIDS/die in a fire/throw yourself into oncoming traffic" bit.
The people that attend Hangout must be a little nicer, or gullible, take your pick.
I think the point is, they fooled a lot of folks and may be the reason that Hangout posted when they would release the lineup.
Good job guys. I followed your progress from work, where I am forbidden from looking at the internet.
Jugs- Hangout hasn't been around that long. It hasn't been a festival that people would obsess over enough to create a fake lineup poster until yesterday either! Overall there were just a lot of variables involved, most important of which were the fact that no one had done one before, gullible facebook derps, and the shittty MSpaint poster actually served as an ex post factor red herring as people saw the awesome fake poster get deleted but the obvious one not get deleted, so they figured the good one had to be real.
Add in a slew of inforoosters throwing in misleading comments all over FB and you get the perfect recipe for creating the perfect shitstorm.
People still think that was the real lineup. I have friends messaging me this morning telling me who the headliners are etc....

Same, friends messaging me with the fake. I was like "bro, that's fake, bro".
Happy Friday!!! We're super excited to share the REAL and OFFICIAL lineup with you next week. Any Hangout Lineups that you see posted before next week are (and have been) FAKE.
