Someone said e-mails when out, does this go to the people who bought the alumni tickets at the fest last year? My buddy put ours on his credit card and he says he hasn't gotten anything. Honestly, I only know Dumpstaphunk and Wolfmother but that jus tmeans more new band research to do tonight.

Hangout Fest's twitter retweeted the consequence of sound article. Wow. What a letdown. So generic/uninteresting.
Hey..to each their own. But what is generic/uninteresting about this guy getting added to the pre party?
As a person/artist, no, he's not generic and uninteresting. The fact that he's at like every festival is what I was referring to. But, I like him. Seen him a few times, he'll be fun and rowdy. Him, BBC, and Dumpstaphunk are the only ones I'd be interested in from that pre-party lineup. Iron & Wine doesn't really fit the pre-party vibe imo. Wolfmother had one good album a while back and is a completely new band other than the lead guy. Bonobo DJ set is fine - if it was his live band show then I'd say hell ya. Girl Talk is hilarious. All in my opinion, of course. I've seen all of these bands before so that's why I'm bummed.

That's fair. I've yet to see him live due to being out of town or pre occupied every single time he comes through. And I've been a fan since 2010. So I'm pretty pumped for it. I'm good with the Bonobo DJ Set. Iron and Wine can get kinda trippy and fun if he plays the right tracks. Girl Talk is what he is. Really have no opinions on Dumpstaphunk or BBC. Wolfmother's first album is an absolute banger, and it'd be fun for me getting nostalgic with that one time. That add came out of nowhere. I'm actually really pleased with these first round of adds. But I can see where you're coming from.
There were what 13 or 14 bands last year for Thursday? This is seven. I can't imagine them letting it slip with only a few of the acts after making such a big deal about their release of the pre-party lineup coming soon. Then their big release is to retweet another sites article? Odd. I'm not bummed at all, just seems like an odd way to do things.

Some of the artists from the pre party have hung around and played VIP grove sets in the past. There is a possibility of this happening, but Pre Party artists won't be on the regular bill for the weekend. This is just the initial lineup for Thursday. It's full of bands that I enjoy. I'm jazzed more than ever for the pre party.
Any word on if people who got Alumni Early Bird Tickets are getting the e-mail? Nothing here and I am one of those people, only 10 bucks but thats more booze cash

I bought mine early bird, but not at last years fest. I got the email a couple hours ago. Tix are $35 total w the code "loyalty" - the email has a link that inserts the code for you. Should be the same price w that code via HMF.com.
Don't think it sold out last year, I bought my Thursday ticket on Wednesday night. They didn't say the discount was "limited time" last year either. I'm guessing it'll be cheaper until the full Thursday card is released, then full price for everyone.
Consider me the guy not 100% happy till umph is added. I'd trade all of Thursday for just umph. \mm/

Diff'rent strokes etc., and I'm not a proactive listener of any of the bands for the pre-party, BUT $40 for a lineup of Bombay Bicycle Club> Dumpstaphunk> Iron and Wine> Wolfmother (speculating) plus Bonobo DJ> Danny Brown> Girl Talk is worth it even if the next 6ish adds are 3 solo accordion acts, a butt kazooist and a couple house cats. Now I just need to remember not to brew up a hangover during the pre-party that maims my weekend abilities.

You're not gonna be happy then
O! O! O! Zen gives an actual hint! Just kidding. That sucks for me, but totally understandable, I still have tix for their spring tour. Hoping to come home with some new favorite bands this year.

I bought loyalty tickets at the fest last year. I literally got my email five minutes ago.
I don't know why they sent me a code because I'm going VIP, but they sent me one anyway.

looking forward to more artist adds, but a little confused that they would release partial preparty lineup and expect to sell 40$ tickets but not release the other half until April (one month before fest)... I could see maybe later in Feb. and then early March we see the last of the festival adds with maybe a few trickling in during April... and why does everything get progressivly more expensive each year? last year prefest was only 20$ with a 3 day pass. as it is now tickets are on par with costs of much larger fests so hopefully they really wow us with same late adds like last year i.e Yeah yeah yeahs, macklemore, imagine dragons, grizzly bear.... C'MON TWO CHAINS and LA ROUX!
So far, i'll be doing the beach all day and a dinner out on thursday...just ok stuff for my tastes.
Same deal here. We're gonna get all our beach fun out of the way Thursday, hit up Florabama at night, and charge up to hit the fest early Friday. Lookin forward to these additions for the actual fest coming though. The way the schedule is looking so far based on the OP, I'm gonna have acts to see all day each day most likely. Can't ask for much more than that for 3 days. Hopefully it'll only get better with the additions.
@zen Arcade You prob can't say anything to this, but some on here r hoping for these additions to lean towards the jam side. Personally the more rock the better, jam is fine but heavier stuff is cool too. Any clues to what kind of genre's we're lookin at with the adds you know? I think you were the one that mentioned Jane's earlier, any chance that could be in the mix?

Word. I can f*ck with that. Just not a fan of the indie, popish sound that some bands have at these festivals. If I've never heard of you as a band, you need to do something to get me movin'.
What's the venue? My only other time at Hangout I didn't arrive until Friday so I didn't pay any attention to the pre-party. Is it all under one tent/stage/building?

It's split between the Boom Boom Tent and the Letting Go stage. Hip hop/EDM in the tent, all else on the Letting Go.

They used the little stage at the back of the Hangout restaurant too. Wasn't it called the BMI stage or something like that?
im on the fenc for the pre-party. i would like to see Girl Talk and im pretty sure everyone im going with is gonna want to go but these 7 def are not enough for me to shed an extra 40$ when I can have time to enjoy the beach and restaurants for the first time
Danny Brown, Dumpstaphunk, and Bonobo are worth my $35. Bombay Bicycle club seems aight. Girl Talk is terrible. Iron and Wine is boring as fuck live. lolWolfmother? what year is it?
