Just saw where Bonnie Raitt is releasing her twentieth album "Dig in Deep" in February and tour dates announced 2 Nov. I haven't followed her lately, but once upon a time she rocked. Be interesting to see if she can still shred a blues guitar. Might be an undercard for Hangout if she isn't booked solid in casinos.

We walked right up to the front center right side of the barricade as they were starting no problem and they were pretty great live imo I can't remember who was the headline that night kings of Leon or tom petty but we left a little early to fight the crowd for that.
I would think it good for everyone that we have diverse tastes and spread out at different venues. Gives folks the opportunity to check out different kinds of music. Im pretty hooked on Hangout and looking forward to the 2016 lineup. What is the relationship between GV and Huka who is listed as "produced by". The guy we met at the IWE pool jam was pretty upbeat about 2016 and his role in making Hangout better. I think he was a GV employee.

It was KoL. Boycotted them.
I didn't hate KoL but also wouldn't mind if they didn't take a headliner spot again either lol

Agreed HOF is the tops. Not overly crowded, nice layout, the beach, the beautiful women, unique lineups, best festival foods, the yuengling what more could you ask for on a vacation?
Bring back the vip ice cream supply and maybe that giant water slide please. Loved the new art installation they had his year and the decorated boom boom tent with the masks, more of that.
The Pizza Hut volleyball and free t-shirts went over well with my crew. Ditto the Bud stuff on the beach. Hoping my son can get some time off and join me next year. He drags me into the tent and to performers I wouldn't' normally go see. They usually wind up being the most entertaining like Flaming Lips. I'm budgeting for a couple VIP tix given the rave reviews and ice cream.

IMO they do a great job of balancing the lineup and trying to make it fun for everybody. I don't mind repeats given I get a chance to see something I missed.
So McCartney was amazing. Not that there was any doubt. That would be incredible on the beach. Production was top notch, everyone was into it, good banter, and man can he sing and move for a 73 year old, not to mention the all time great set list/catalog.
1/17 Spafford 2/7 Greensky Bluegrass 3/17 Cool Cool Cool 3/28 Ekoostik Hookah 7/10 Jason Mraz 7/11 Chris Stapleton 7/12 Red Hot Chili Peppers 7/13 Buffalo Ska Fest
Adele and Elton John releasing new music. Not sure Adele would be the right headliner for Hangout. Seen Elton a bazillion times.
Like to see one or more of the following on the May lineup; McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, Jimmy Buffett, Pearl Jam, Chris Cornell, The Shins, Tedeschi-Trucks Band, Tame Impala, Amos Lee, Old Crow Medicine Show, Delta Rae, Ray LaMontagne, Sturgill Simpson, Earth, Wind and Fire, Dwight Holcomb and the Neighbors, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.
Damn. Besides 2012 I think when they actually brought in a couple of trucks, I can't think of a year Hangout didn't have the worst food of just about any fest I've been to. I've got to assume it's just that some of you landlocked folks don't get Gulf shrimp on a regular basis or something?
Hangout has had some pretty awful food. Very over priced for skimpy tasteless stuff. Best food for me goes to:
Utopiafest - only a few vendors, but they're all quality, including the 4th annual 6 foot pizza bake & my favorite festival food truck, some African Restaurant that starts with a K that serves up the best Brisket Taco ever, and refreshing coconuts.
ACL - An abundance of local favorites including torchys, juiceland, P Terrys
Waka - Aside from VIP food (which was decent considering it was catered, worst enchiladas ever though), vendors would decent, w good price and a good variety.
Floatfest - Honorable mentioned for giving out free jambalaya due to an incredible lack of participants vs an over abundance of prepped food.

this is true for me being in the North East. We live on some of the best Pizza and cheesteaks out here. Pretty sure I ate shrimp like every day Ive been to the fest in my 3 years of attendance. I did think the food in the BMI courtyard area was really good too last year.

yep, I had the shrimp and grits, from ACME I think, everyday. We also had a bucket of crawfish out on the beach during Zac Brown...other than late night pizza in the condo, it's all seafood for me down there.
Some of the best food I've ever dined on at restaurants in the area including Capital Grille in Pensacola and Cosmos, Tacky Jacks, Docs, and others in OBA. I like Hangout Restaurant for the price. Waitresses always sweet and hook me up with table overlooking stage. I don't eat out of trucks. Gulf Shores shrimp fest food was nasty as heck. I buy fresh shrimp, tuna dip, fish at one of the fresh seafood places in OBA, beer and wine at walmart, fresh veggies from farmers markets or my garden and make my own creations not worrying about food poisoning. Been to Foley emergency room twice from eating bad seafood in Gulf Shores....not fun. If you are smart about it...great places to eat. If you eat outta hot trucks, etc...beware.
Tacky Jacks is fantastic! Two years ago we ate there before leaving but somehow managed to end up at one over 20 min away towards P-cola (i think) and we loved it. The restaurant itself was in a cool spot and breakfast portions were huge. We made sure to go back before leaving last year and to the same one we were at in 2013 even though there was another one much closer lol.
i cant speak for seafood but here in Philly we have great food trucks for everything else

Ken Sumar, The Joy Formidable is "all that." Don't doubt yourself on that for a moment. That show at Deluna got me a lot of burn with the people I drug there.
@beachbob, I like this list thing you've done here. Mine are as follows:
2010: Jerry Jeff Walker (His flight was canceled from Texas unfortunately). Pretty much saw everything else I wanted to that year cause it was small and easy to navigate.
2011: Rival Sons, Motorhead, Tony Clifton (Rival Sons, Motorhead and Flaming Lips all played at the same time and back then I was pretty in to Flaming Lips. That was my worst conflict at Hangout, probably ever.

2012: Mavis Staples, Big Freedia
2013: Holy Ghost!, The Revivalists
2014: Diarrhea Planet
2015: Phantogram, Rubblebucket
My condolences.
Diarhea Planet's cover of Hey Ya was so fuckn clutch. The set was unbelievable. I crowd surfed twice, the first time getting stuck underneath if their 20 guitarists while he floated on a donut. The 2nd time attempting to float on a donut and falling on my head.
