Sorry if I missed it, but what do we think the dates are for next year? May 14-17? I assume that's gotta be the weekend since Memorial Day is May 25th and they wouldn't cut into the holiday weekend beach rental business...
Yes, May 15-17 with the pre-party on Thursday the 14th. Those are the dates, they sold 2015 tickets on the last day of the 2014 festival for those dates.
Noname said: I love those frat kids. They add to my experience. Had some really solid dancing by me for pretty lights. The old, salty drunks, however, are my pet peeve. Ugh, they get more annoying ever year. Please quit serving 8% strawberritas!!!
On behalf of all old salty drunks who were in attendence, occasionally with our children cutting rugs at Boom Boom tent, what's the issue? I drank beer all weekend (not a fan of Miller/Bud/etc.) Are you embarrassed by the amount of alcohol individuals such as Jabco, his ole lady and myself can consume and remain upright? I go to everything (except country, western and opera) and all types of venues. And while I don't wear greek emblazoned sleeveless shirts, douchey bathing suits, flat billed caps or the like, I don't hate on those types of fans. What's so bad about the old drunks? We throw down and spend our money (and probably more of it) than a lot of people. I never vomited on anyone, I didn't trip over anyone, and I managed to hang pretty good, as usual, at Hangout. What's/where's the beef? Did some grandma run over you in a sandmobile or something?

Go home old man, you're drunk.
I know you think that when you walk up to young people at shows, with your 15 year old Queensryche shirt on, dancing and telling us about how much you love the Black Keys (who are a throwback to your youth, of course), that we really enjoy it. Newsflash, we don't. Sure, we're being polite because our parents raised us well, but quite honestly, we're all just waiting for you to go away. For the 30 minutes you're talking to us about the Guns and Roses show you saw back in '91 and how you like "new" music because it has soul, we're mostly just hoping you'll go away before we have to stop being respectful and tell you to screw off. You're obnoxious and you're scaring away our girls.
Suggest skipping festivals and going on the Jimmy Buffett cruise where you're around people your age and not irritating the heck out of the entire audience. Your kids can hang out, however.
Lmao. Nice. That wouldn't be me. I don't hate on black keys, but I wasn't missing sts9. Never was a fan of queensreict (sp?) and don't care about GnR except I always thought Duff and Slash were pretty cool. If. I was going to bust out some old guy/get off my lawn shit it might be one of the early lollapoloozas which would have meant Primus, Soundgarden, Tool, RATM, Ministry, Ice Cube, Pearl Jam or whatever. I just thought his post was funny because I didn't really see a lot of geezers there except maybe sitting in the patio by Hangout. 504 hits it pretty hard wherever we are, but the last thing I would ever do at a show is piss anyone off or annoy people. So I guess I'm curious as to what the issue was.
i really dont care who is there seeing how everyone is there for the same thing in the end. i met and spent sopme time with tons of different types of people throought the weekend.
The only people that annoy me are the ones with zero attention spans that talk during sets constantly...especially when it looks like they can't make up their mind if they want to be at that set or not. If you're posting up early for the next set fine, but at least have the common courtesy to let the people near you enjoy the current set.

Prime example of this is the young douchenozzels at Buku last year that were screaming for Primus to get off stage the whole show so they could hear some weakdick'd Kid Cudi.
The biggest douche move I saw at Hangout was the group of kids that had their own radio and were walking through the crowd holding hands blasting their own soundtrack during shows. Fuck off with that shit for real.
I agree with all you guys. No one really bothers me, except in 2012 when Chris Cornell did that solo set, there were people just rambling and rambling. Luckily we knew all the words to the Soundgarden stuff, most of the Audioslave stuff, most of the Cornell solo stuff and the covers (Imagine), so we were able to sing anyway. And that might be my favorite Hangout set ever FWIW. But it was kind of annoying when you have a super talented musician up there bleeding his heart out for the fans, and some of the people there seemed oblivious. I'm pretty friendly, so I'll chat it up between sets or high five or dap you off or whatever if something is especially good. And I don't care if it's kids, old people, parents, grandparents or whatever. We're all there for fun and music, and if you're at a set near the front where I'm at, you know we're pretty much there for the same thing. Don't spit on me or rub too much sweat on me, and we're fine.
As for the Primus 3-D at BUKU, I remember reading about that somewhere. We were near the front and didn't have any issues at all except all the idiots who didn't know it was a 3D set. Had we heard the chump ass Cudi fans calling for them to get off the stage, we'd have walked up there and told them to get the **** out the front row. None of us are violent, but you don't disrespect Primus like that. And what a great show it was. I recall when it ended almost no one cheered. I think everyone's jaws were just dropped at how insane that show was.
No Name. FWIW, I was the sort of old guy with the blue aqua socks/river shoes on. Hopefully whomever ticked you off wasn't me. I might have danced a little, headbanged or thrown some fists in the air (including some double fists of beer). You also would know our clan by the scream of "OOOOOOOOOH" which is something we all kind of do out of love and respect for the bands we watch. One of my kids was shuffling at Pretty Lights, but he's not a frat kid. He's as at home at a Trey Anastasio Band concert as he would be at a Mimosa show. If it was me, next time, come see me and I'll buy you a beer or two. We pretty much hit Buku, Jazzfest, Hangout and Voodoo every year and do a couple of travel dates (ACL, Waka, Bonnaroo, Bear Creek or whatever). After the outrageous value we foudn at Waka VIP this year, I'm putting that in the rotation as well. I think 2014 surpassed Deluna 2012 as my favorite festival experience I have ever had. Free beer. Dynamite camping. Front row access. 5 nights/4 days for $750. You can't beat that.
Always liked how Deluna's second beach stage was all local stuff instead of their second main stage or whatever. Wish we'd have gone in the years previous to 2012, but we figured no way it'd top Hangout in 2010 (and it didn't), then got married in 2011 and only went to Voodoo that year.
Deluna, Deluna, Deluna. What I got from the year we went (2012) was that it was everything from my perspective that Hangout should have been (with no hate to Hangout). They let you go into the water up to your knees (tide was low on Sunday with sandbars everywhere), you could go out of the side gate and swim and then come back in the side entrance, no hassle entrance, 3 cops out on the beach chit-chatting instead of walking through with bomb dogs and such. And then there was the NOLA stage at the other end of the beach. Even if there was something you didn't want to see, Dumpstaphunk, Rebirth, Hot 8, or whatever else that I would have probably gone to a bar to see anyway was on. Man that was a great weekend - I just remember sitting in the middle of the sand wondering where the **** everyone I knew from the Gulf Coast actually was. Did they really have something better to do that weekend? Final tally for me was Pearl Jam (best show I saw that year), Foo Fighters, Bad Brains, Bob Mould, Superchunk, Band of Skulls, Wood Brothers, Florence and the Machine, Kermit Ruffins, Fishbone, OFF!, Rebirth, Dumpstaphunk, Anders Osborne, Diplo, Blackberry Smoke, Red Kross, and more. Damn that was a great fest (and now ranks 2nd on my all time kind of tied with 1992 Lollapolooza with Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Ministry, RHCP, etc. really appreciated their emphasis on Rock which is kind of absent these days from a lot of festivals (though some research on Voodoo is revealing some harder stuff). Sorry for the hijack.
SO if Hangout wants to have another bubblegump lineup, who are they gonna get? They've gotten nearly every cheesed!ck headliner available over the last five years. If they start recycling them, I'm not going anymore.
They've had... 2010 - John Legend (possibly the limpest of all) 2011 - lineup was strong and deep. More of this. 2012 - Dave Matthews band 2013 - Kings of Leon 2014 - The Black Keys, The Killers, Jack Johnson
Oasis? What makes you think that they'll get back together? And what makes you think they'd play Hangout of all the offers they'd get if they did have one of the most unlikely reunions ever? Just curious.

Annnnd your rant just lost credibility
And how is that? I'm a fairly clean cut individual and got accosted at the entrance the Saturday and Sunday at the first hangout I went to in 2012. Sure, I had plenty of sunscreen, lip balm and whatever, but they were particularly aggressive beyond anything I had ever experienced. I assumed ift might have been the saints cap? Then we were at Chevy stage in the afternoon that Saturday and there was a K9 paraded through the crowd right past me. There was also a k9 at the east exit that Sunday night. I don't personally have anything to worry about, but maybe it's just the idea of being a city kid at a rock festival, you kinda just want to be left alone if you aren't fighting people or being a general annoyance. Point was that Deluna 2012 was just a lot more chill and similar to what I am used to. In the end, it's just a personal preference that people police themselves. That's not necessarily a rant. I liked it better, but I don't hate on hangout. I have gone back the last two years and city, county, state, private security or whatever have all been very friendly. Don't over assume an angle or underestimate the credibility of anything I say. I'm not much of a **** talker. If I don't know something, I will ask or simply listen. Thanks.

I've never seen a dog at Hangout. Never heard anyone else claim they've seen one. And it's gotta be a bomb dog, right? Or are you just making up / assuming angles? Get off it dude, hangout barely arrested anyone this year. If you don't like your bag searched even though you have "nothing to worry about" then go back to deluna- if that fest even exists still.

I saw multiple dogs in 2011. Especially during Paul Simon they were really hitting the crowd hard. That was the "gotcha" time at the festival, they were busting everyone after around 5pm.
Saw dogs in 2012 as well.
You are a total schmuck if you believe they were bomb sniffing dogs!

I actually saw a K9 policeman right outside the mainstage VIP entrance of Hangout 2012. I asked to pet the puppy and he said no. Mean policeman. So, there's that.

While I realize that was supposed to be some sort of burn since it seems you are hyper-defensive about the Hangout festival for whatever reason, you'd be dying to go back to Deluna as well had you been heady enough at the time to have been there.
As to the dogs, they were definitely at Hangout in 2012, both on the festival grounds and at the east entrance.
Thanks for the corroborations. It was really strange to me as they were standard issue German Shepherds. One girl by the Chevy Stage told us she talked to security and they said it was for safety. So I guess she assumed that meant an antiterrorism or gunpowder sniffing animal. We just adopted the name bomb dogs at that point. No I didn't think they were that at all, but it's whatever. As for the idea of not liking getting my bag searched, I don't bring one. But I'll be damned if everyone of my pockets didn't get emptied with a county sheriff going so far as to sniff my package of cigs. He was angry which I thought was a bs way to treat a guest. But I got over it, and the slightly less militant redux the next day. And like I said, they have all been extremely friendly to me since that year. So I was a little jaded after 2012, but it seemed like a really chill year this year except for your boy a few pages back who said his buddy had the high honor of being the initial arrest in 2014. I don't really recall but maybe seeing one person in cuffs this year. Unfortunately though, I did see a lot of people go down due to lack of hydration. Hopefully if we have as great of weather as we did this year, people will know better.

Educated quess - they were drug dogs. Because I'm pretty sure Hangout doesn't need to worry about the Taliban.
