Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
The slogan of the Hangout Music Beach & Arts Festival is "Be Nice or Go Home." Seems like most of ya'll need to stay the f uck home.
Seems like you need to go listen to some Tool or maybe get interested in a different festival. Bro, do you even cheesedick?
No, the majority of posts in this thread are asshole-ish, holier-than-thou, snobby bull-shit. Obviously, y'all aren't very nice people to be spewing so much hatred at folks you don't know. I'm guessing the average age of the posters of this thread is about 11.
Anyways, I have some info that I feel is legitimate from a close friend of mine in the business. Supposedly the user who made the announcement about hangout having Mumford and adding all those other bands like Franti, Avetts, etc was half right. They did not book Mumford. According to her, they tried for WSP and Pretty Lights (no clue why they would go after him as a headliner and have Bassnectar below him, but I digress), but failed signing both. They are now still scrambling to sign the third headliner...HOWEVER, all of the artist adds are supposedly true.

Take that for what you will.
This makes more sense than that secret Hangout/Bonnaroo backchannel business. They have no reason to work together, and Hangout gains nothing by withholding big additions just to get "buzz" or whatever. The third headliner isn't announced yet because they're scrambling. They must have seriously thought they could land McCartney. I wouldn't be surprised if they only started pursuing bands the size of the Avett Brothers and The National when they realized Macca wasn't happening, which would explain why they weren't on the initial lineup.

To leave everybody hanging like they have the past few weeks, there has to be some serious scrambling going on here. It explains the lack of communication because they don't seem to know any more than we do at this point.

Looks like they figured who they are using for their recycling; One step closer to the third headliner! Maybe Clean Vibes, LLC can be the third headliner. I bet you clanging some tins, lids and bottles together, with a killer light show, would be just as entertaining as the Mumford show would have been. Book it!

I only get on this thread to feel the warm embrace of the kind people.

Panic is rumored to be releasing more summer tour dates on Friday, with a tour closer at Oak Mountain in July. I bet that could be the reason for no Panic.
HUKA would go after some cheeseballs like Blink 182, Green Day, or No Doubt before they would even consider booking a band like Blur. They probably never even showed up on their radar until Coachella booked them and they immediately dismissed the possibility because there's probably only 200 people on the entire gulf coast that would be excited about that add. Half of those people are foreign exchange students from the UK.

They'll book them only if they play Song 2 for 90 minutes straight.

Looks like they are trying to sell us on what they have, because the additions will be okay, but not great. HMF is relying solely on the beach to sell their fest. Though this line-up will be solid with all things considered, it does not appear competitive with the bigger festivals. I will love this MAy 17th-19th regardless, we have some festival newbies coming with us!

I kind of agree, it seems with all the non communication and recent post...they are trying to setup everyone to not be disappointed.
A couple of you might appreciate this. A friend of mine was having a conversation with one of his friends on skype that resulted in his friend buying a couple of domain names just to fuck with people with fat fingers that left the m off of these sites: www.hangoutmusicfest.co www.bayfest.co
they both direct to the same funny youtube video that is kinda NSFW
