Hangout went in one year from being a local/regional festi to a national destination fest.
DeLuna still has that same 'locals only' vibe that Hangout had the first year (even though people came from all over). In other words, it wasn't a bunch of bros acting like they'd never been to the beach or a concert before.
You're really only going to go to DeLuna because you want to go. Tons of Hangout goers are there just because its the cool thing to do.
That news can only be verified by super hetti PT bros, who's third eyes are able to predict panic tour dates/locations, until the official announcement happens in a week or two.
Whatever doucher, you'll see.
WSP Spring Tour will look something like this Athens - 4/6 Macon - 4/7 St. Louis 4/9-10 Chicago 4/11-13 Louisville 4/16 Wanee - 4/19-4/20 Columbia 4/22-23 Orange Beach 4/26-28 Jazzfest - 5/2 Nashville - 5/3-4
Tell ole wookstrodamus to squeegee that patchouli out of his third eye.
Apparently, The Wharf only books COUNTRY music stars only now, ladies. Orange Beach and Gulf Shores...FAMILY atmosphere.
I seriously doubt they would get booked as a headliner after being there in 2011. I seriously doubt that they will ever get booked in Orange Beach or Gulf Shores ever again to be honest. They'll be at Jazzfest on 5/2 though. Possibly a single Biloxi show in between Alpheretta and NOLA.

Pretty lame that a 10k seat amphitheater in the South's only shows scheduled through April are Sean Payton's boy Kenny Chesney and some other dude named Luke Bryan (or is that two dudes named Luke and Bryan? whatever). Awful.
Dude, the majority of those dates are on point or pretty damn close. Alpha was already known to happen, just not where. Athens/Macon may still happen. Wanee is happening, Jazzfest is happening. OB may be added later. Everyone has been saying it is going to happen.

Alabama White Boi, you've seen 1/6th of 1 WSMFP show, you ain't qualified to make statements like that.
Money talks and shitt walks in Baldwin County, don't rule anything out. (Except Marilyn Manson'd)
Seriously though. The people of Orange Beach / Gulf Shores don't want Phish/WSP coming into their bitchass town in the same way that they don't want those "satanic" metal bands coming here. And the smart people that like to go to these shows realize this so they've probably moved closer to somewhere their fav bands always play. And that is why whenever we do get a big band (that is barely relevant anymore) like VAN HALEN that shiz doesn't sell out. Remember how empty that Hendrix tribute show was? Most bands skip NOLA, so it's expected that 99% of them skip OB/GS too. Wharf people know Phish/WSP would do well or sell out, but I feel like there are other hands in the pie, preventing them from pulling the trigger on booking. Bible thump'd
Having dozens of WSP shows under my belt would not make my words any more/less true, would they?
Pretty sure Flaming Lips are out: 05/20 – London, UK @ Roundhouse 05/21 – London, UK @ Roundhouse Praise Satan. 3 years in a row in that spot would have sent me over the edge. Give that spot to QOTSA.
And Black Keys would be a headliner if they were added. Unlikely because they just played in 2011. We'll probably get Black Key'd at Voodoo though.

I could still see it happening. Hangout hasn't been averse to repeats, and since The Black Keys didn't actually headline in 2011, they wouldn't be repeating a top 3 act. I know that I've been critical of their 2011 set around these parts, but I'd still take them over Mumford, Muse, The Killers.....hell, I'd prefer them to most of the other rumored acts. Maybe not likely, but still possible.
Have to hand it to you Hetty. You've obviously got some good intel in the brown cat world. Looks like you can pencil in Wanee and NO so you were pretty right on.....so what's the big May gap about and why not announce the Wharf now?
.....No, I was not at the first Hangout, but if the crowds were still like that, there wouldn't still be a Hangout.....at least not with any chance at the headliners we're hoping for....and I find that people who travel a long way for music are generally pretty into it.
...and the promoters choose the artists (to attract fans), not the townspeople. it was reported the gulf shores city council tried to get a veto and that was a non-starter. ob is limited because it's a destination.
pumped for two alpharetta shows. the sound in that venue is awesome. so much better than the old school amphitheaters. my jan. & feb has Jon Spencer, BHTM, RRE, DSO & Lotus...not bad.
Solidrock- Yea I know what you're saying but with more well known fests you get the industry more involved in choosing headliners for you. RHCP are totally irrelevant musically, yet headlined a ton of huge fests last year. Kings of Leon was the same way in 2010. That lame ass band headlining Roo and Outside Land, with the latter being a headlining spot over Furthur. (blasphemy considering there was a to be another Dead show at the site of the Human Be-In!!)
Hangout and DeLuna are both fun fests but DeLuna is just super low key and no hassle. I am grateful to have both fests in my back yard as I've driven 15 hrs for fests before (Allgood WV).
The vibe just wasn't as good at Hangout last year because of all the DMB Chads so I'm just hating. I had a great time anyways though. I have a great time wherever I go, unless it's a Jesus & Mary Chain concert.
I may do the Alpha shows.....if I can get pit tix. Sick of Alpharetta to be honest. The suburbs suck, it's extra driving, getting in on a Friday you're sitting in traffic forever, the LEOs are starting to crack down since the honeymoon is over. Lakehood shows I went to last summer had a way better vibe (even though the Phish show sucked).

agreed. Jebus, how bad is it when you realize that you'd rather have black keys over the possible/rumored headliners...
^^ Lakehood for me is perfect, I can get there without even hitting ATL proper. A lot is cool but Lakehood is a way wilder scene imo, and you don't need a special parking pass.
When it comes down to it I'd just rather be partying in te ghetto rather than the burbs. Ya gotta stay in a hotel if you use Alpha or you run serious risk post-show.

That was a weird show. We got really bombed for that one after keeping it together for a great 2nd set at Oak Mountain. Golden Age > Free > Light was probably my favorite thing that night, but nothing special. Light and Sand were on fire this last tour.

It's just that kind of year. If you'd told me last summer that Petty/Black Keys/Muse was looking like the best case scenario, I wouldn't have believed it. But the available BNAs are just so horrible this year.

That Lakewood Phish show reminded me that I'm getting old. As we were trying to get out of Lakewood, a van almost hit us turning from the middle lane onto the interstate. So my cousin said we should moon him. As I was sticking my ass out the window on I75, I threw my back out. Instant f'n Karma right there. My wife and my cousin didn't believe me until we pulled up to my cousins house and I couldn't stand up straight. I was stooped over and hobbling for like 3 straight days.
On a different note, any of you Pensacola/Mobile Gulf Coast guys coming to the Vinyl to see Galactic next week? Or ya'll waiting until February to see them at the Soul Kitchen?

I think I might do the Lundi Gras show at Tip's in Nola because Red Baraat is opening.
Fishbone is worth every second. Was going to see them at the Music Box, but Reel Big Fish is playing Vinyl that same night and my friend wants to go to that instead, plus there will be less crowd cause it'll be Fat Tuesday in Mobile.
^^ umm, dude, Fishbone is playing the mf'in AMB in the birthplace of Mardi Gras in the New World, on Fat Tuesday. You gotta go to that. Besides, by the end of Fat Tuesday everyone is faded and the crowd has died down.
The annual Pine Hill Haints show on Joe Cain Day (one of th best shows all year) is always fairly crowded though. Were you there the year Monotonix played?? That was the 2nd best punk rock show of my life (after a free Butthole Surfers show in NOLA).
