I like the adds. I missed Gary in 2012 and although I have seen him since i would love that on the beach. I was holding out hope for Dr. Dog, Stoopid, or Dispatch but Dawes, GCJ, and M & K are solid to me, nothing too crazy exciting but i've enjoyed finding new bands and i already like the Black Cadillacs. If anything im glad there weren't a bunch of bands i WAS excited for because i'm already worried about conflicts.

This is very very disappointing, also a lot of the bands on here have played HO, so its noting special. I'm personally think they could have done a lot better, but I guess when you didn't sell out last year its hard to have the same budget and expectations. I believe this is going to be the best lineup from here on out. I can't see them pulling any grand acts any. Jack Johnson is only a matter of time they got him, Outkast is playing a billion fest this year and Black Keys is all good and so are The Killers but they aren't anything special by any means. The undercard is alright like a said a bunch of bands that played before, and the rest of the bands are new and up coming bands that are good but again nothing special. They are bands they play in your home city venue and cost 15 bucks to see. I want bands that don't come around much and play on specific venues and have been around longer but half this lineup are small time bands. John Butler Trio would have been legit, who are playing bonnaroo, also more jam bands bc you don't really have any! I wish I could have been in some of those walls at there meetings.
The council states that they have to protect the 35,000 people that come in. So they allow 100 of them into a particular spot. That is .28%. Not 28%. Almost a quarter of a percent. Do they not think that this will create some sort of chaos at the least with people fighting to get into the Gulf during down times?
And even if they limit it to VIP/Super VIP that's still a small percentage.

Obviously we still need a schedule to see where the conflicts will lie, but assuming I can find a way to catch bits and pieces of these acts, here's where I'm at given the lineup we're lookin at...
The Black Keys * The Killers * Outkast * Jack Johnson * Queens Of The Stone Age * Pretty Lights * Modest Mouse * STS9 * Matt & Kim * Portugal. The Man * Gary Clark Jr. * Capital Cities * The Bloody Beetroots * Trombone Shorty * Bastille * Andrew WK * Moon Taxi * RAC * RDGLDGRN * St. Paul & The Broken Bones * Wild Cub * Reignwolf * Diarrhea Planet
Considering the location and environment, that's a solid weekend full of music. No complaints moving forward. Let's get these 3 months movin'.

I already mention this, but in case y'all missed it... These passes are nothing new, I've watched my buddy get in the gulf for 3 years straight with his water pass. So I doubt they think it will cause chaos, since it hasn't in the past. I think everyone that sees it happening just assumes those people are artist, crew, or VIP. Like I said, I've never seen them for sale, it's always been a part of his artist passes and such. I would be VERY surprised if anyone on here is able to get their hands on one. You gotta be special to get these, but again, it's nothing new.

Agreed, if they open up 100 spots to gen pop, it will be a cluster....even if they get the 3 x 150 they want, it still seems way light for anything other than vip.
This isn't the water slide, guys... There's not gonna be a first come first serve line on this... You will not get a pass. No one you know will get a pass. The killers tour manager might get a pass. That kinda deal, ya know??
....obviously nothing earth shattering in the adds, but i'll probably see 4-5 of them, so not bad. I just had high hopes with beale st, shaky knees, guava & blackstock putting so many good bands in the area for us.....and i think it's insane they didn't make ABB happen.

I get what you're saying but that doesn't seem the way that it is being presented to the counsel at least.

Man, I was so wrong, that article does read completely different than what I was saying. My bad! I still think what I was saying applies, as far as severely limited availability. But yeah, maybe in the future we can all skip the portapottys and take big dumps together in the gulf. Or the floating stage, both sound solid to me
It seems like HO's budget is lower for the undercard because they spent a shiz ton on the headliners. Jack Johnson probably would've been a headliner in recent years so that's what I'm most excited about still lol.
Just on the site trying to figure out how I can see 40 acts in 4 days and I noticed the "more additions to come" line has been deleted from the bottom of the lineup page.... Sorry guys, just thought you should know where your hangout is at this hour...
Anybody know if its possible to upgrade to VIP? Kinda pissed i didnt go that way this year.
Just go to the official Hangout website and email the ticket office. I guarantee they will let you upgrade by paying the difference.
It might be a different story if you bought early bird tickets and are trying to get the early bird price for VIP. My guess is they will make you pay the full price for VIP at this point.
Check out St. Paul and the Broken Bones if you haven't yet. Turning into a can't miss for me. Got an Alabama Shakes kinda vibe with a guy singer instead.
i bought the St. Paul album on itunes its the 3rd ever purchase i made with itunes. love the album and def became a cant miss for me as well.
since we have no more adds to look forward too do we have an idea when the schedule will come out? these conflicts are gonig to be brutal i can feel it already.
Fyi on sched....i know a guy who is in one of the bands added and they've known their time slot for about a month...so i don't know why they hold back on the daily sched..

I mean there's virtually nothing to look into at this point other than that and we still have 2.5 months till the fest so I guess that's their way of keeping us wanting something? Sh*t who knows. On another note, I watched the Killers show from that Royal Hall thing on Palladia. I'm sorry, but if you don't think they're a good live band idk what to tell you. They have a ton of energy, really good production, and they sound awesome. I can't wait for that show.

And that is the old production. I have seen there last two tour cycles- day and age and battle born. The new production includes so much more. As far as production, singing alongs and energy they will be the best headlining show there. Outkast wins on nostalgia for me, but I think more people will walk away more impressed with the killers than outkast. That is my bold statement for this years fest.

I think the best headliner will be the black keys. I have seen them twice and they were great both times.
I've called the final Hangout song the past couple years so I'm hoping to do the same this year. If OutKast is Sunday I have little doubt B.o.B. will be our last song this year.
The Killers will slay. Hot Fuss is better than most remember (f*** Pitchfork and the high horse it rode in on). I implore anyone who's on the fence to give it a full listen. Force through the hits the radio killed and the back half will stun you ("Andy" through "Midnight Show" all rock). Sam's Town is solid with a few gems (Title track, "Bling", "Bones" for example). Ignoring the obnoxiously common and mindless critique of "are we human or are we dancer?" Day & Age definitely has its value ("Human" (f*** the haters, it's a response to a poem, it works), "Spaceman," and, one of my favorites, "Neon Tiger"). I haven't given Battle Born a spin because Runaways turned me off, so I'll leave that to someone else. All of that and the new single "Shot at the Night" is quacking fantastic feelgood stuff. Don't let the radio's playing a few songs ad nauseum betray you. There's much more here at second glance. Bring on The Killers.
