I'm staying in fairhope. I would prefer to drive and find parking everyday, but I'm worried I won't be able to do so. If I can't I was going to drive to the pelican place shuttle and take shuttle to the festival. Has anyone with experience at the festival know if it would be safe to take the chance of not getting a shuttle pass and just parking at someone's house each day?
I'll also say its a great idea to pick the brains of the owner of whatever lawn/lot you're in. I've seen MASSIVE lines build up after the fest (obviously everyone leaves at the same time). Cops also block certain streets in certain directions for ab 5 blocks each direction from fest entrances. The past 2 years I've been told short cuts thru yards that absolutely saved hours over the course of the weekend. Being able to get pointed in the right direction on the right road means the world at 1130. The locals know the grounds, just ask for advice! Hahaha, the look on people's faces when you drive by 100 cars in line, cut thru a yard, and dominate everyone is truly amazeballs.
Been lurking this page religiously for a couple months so I figured I'd finally jump in. Love HOMF, nothing like it. The lineup this year is great, if I had to make a realistic additions wish list, in no order:
Vampire Weeked MGMT Dr. Dog Twenty-One Pilots Arctic Monkeys (not realistic, but a guy can dream, right?) The Head and the Heart Jake Bugg The Weeks

There's my two cents. Nice to finally join.
Welcome to the boards. Solid additions wish list, and solid Tobias picture.

MGMT would be such a solid add for this fest. Their new live show is levels beyond to what it was in year's past. Lemme get a lil Of Moons, Birds & Monsters on the beach.

The joy formidable would be a good add. Great live show, and playing party in the park on May 17th. Would make a good 2 pm letting go act for Sunday to get us going!

I have seen them twice before. Once at Deluna before the Foo where they absolutely blew my mind. And once at a small fest in Tampa where they were playing at 11am for some reason, which may be why they played a rather dull show for a half hour then smashed their instruments and left. Definitely a solid add though.

I heard that they are voting Monday on allowing people access to the Gulf of Mexico water?? Did I hear this right or did someone just make this up...too me that would make this festival even more amazing then it already is
I've noticed a lot over the past few weeks that Lana Del Rey has signed on to a couple festivals, and her upcoming album "Ultraviolence" (supposedly being released in May) is being produced by the Black Key's own Dan Auerbach. Could this have any pull into getting her to Hangout Fest?

To me it seems like that would just be way too much of a liability. I'll have to call BS on whoever told you that.

There's always been a water access wristband. I imagine they are just voting on whether or not to continue making those few that they've done in past years. I've never seen em for sale, but I have seen them. My friend in our group gets an artist pass every year from his producer dad and he always has one, tho rarely uses it. You show it to the cops in the corners by the baths and they let you thru there. There is no way they would let regular festers go swimming, too much liability like you said.
Saw on the other board that Modest Mouse has Saturday on their web page now. Saturday and Sunday are looking like all day at the fest kinda days. Friday I may have some breaks in there.

HO needs to hurry up and release the artist additions idk why they keep waiting. The longer they wait the more people buy tix to other festivals. This is ridic we all know y'all are gonna release artist why don't y'all make an announcement on fb to give us a heads up. If they keep doing this they will not sell out there tix and that means next years and years after that will go down hill. Get your **** together HO and make some sort of announcement or people will start to loose interest, just like on this thread!

Alright, they are doing what I thought they would and have brought back tent closers. And who? I doubt they go big edm or hip hop. I would be surprised to see wiz, gambino, and Zedd in those spots. I think STS9, bloody beet roots are logical for those spots. What does everyone think they will put in that spot?

I swear they announced a sellout week of last year. Here's an article a quick search from the day of the kickoff party announcing a sell out of all 3 day passes:

Yeah, you're not wrong, they did announce a sell out the day before or so last year. My contention is this: Hangout sees slow sales happening, so sometime in march or so they opened up single day tix. I think they realized it wouldn't sell out, so why not do single day to make more money? Then, the week of the fest, I think they basically just said "it's sold out" to save face. That 27k figure is total attendance per day, so that would include all tickets, even single day. So, even if 27k is "sold out" it's way short of '11 and '12 numbers. This is all assuming that Auburn did a good job and all. They were paid by the city so I doubt they would under report #s
i really dont like the idea of having someone compete with these headliners. theres no way i owuld skip any of them and i dont want to miss another bcuz of it
Another band I wouldn't be surprised to see on the additions list is Trampled By Turtles. I know they're playing Shaky Knees this year and I'm surprised that they haven't made an appearance at HOMF already because in my opinion they're a perfect beach band. Just a thought.
Hey all was just hoping to get a little more info on this festival and peoples thoughts/experiences. Im from the Philadelphia and know Firefly has a similar lineup and is WAY closer but Hangout seems a little more intriguing for my tastes. Also Delaware in June is not my idea of a vacation since i have the funds for only one festival as of right now. So I would appreciate reviews and advice about this festival. Some of my major questions and concerns...
What kind of money should i expect to spend? as of right now I'm trying to get some friends together to go. Im figuring for flight lodging and ticket for GA $800 to a little over $1000 and VIP in the $1500 area and general spending at $500 for food drink and other fun but VIP could save on this id assume.
Is the 11 o clock end time a mandatory thing? I know Roo shows can go into the early morning hours
If it does promptly end at 11, What is the situation like after? Bars? Clubs? Condo Parties?
What do you think about VIP at Hangout? Heard if you can afford it that it is well worth it with free food, alcohol, pools and special access but want your opinions
I do enjoy some recreational activities...What is the perception of these activities in the festival areas by other festival goers as well as security?
Any and all opinions advice and feedback is appreciated
