thank you for that i hadn't seen it yet. love those two. jack black is a living legend.
Rail for Florence hoping she jumps to the crowd to make out. It happens.
Saw Florence last week. Can confirm she jumps into the crowd at several points.
Glad we can confirm something. Cuz its gonna be awhile. I think we may hear line up rumbles earlier this year. Festivals seem ti be announcing line ups pretty damn early in advance to get a head of the competition. Drop us a HL, a few closers and some undercards and Im happy.

The problem with "realistic" is that it feels like a synonym for "has been everywhere else," and that's kind of boring. So I'll pick fresh stuff that's just not impossible.

"The problem with "realistic" is that it feels like a synonym for "has been everywhere else," and that's kind of boring. So I'll pick fresh stuff that's just not impossible."
Agree. Thankfully HOMF gives us something in between. Matt, you go to a lot of festivals...what is "realistic" in terms of a lineup that looks like previous lineups and not just focused on one group of fans/genre/age group? No matter what the inforoo younger folks push for Hangout headliners, I gotta believe you are going to have one Zac Brown, Tom Petty, Stevie Wonder or Dave Matthews Band.
If you guys haven't listened to The Struts yet I recommend doing so like yesterday. Fully expect them to be the next band to blow up and rise up lineups over the next year or two. Saw them last night and had a blast, prob the most fun I've had at a show so far this year their energy and stage presence are unreal. The lead singer is pretty flamboyant and had the crowd going nuts.

i was thinking the same thing, had been listening to some of their stuff but figured they'd fall midway on a lineup so they never made the mocks.

Yea they were bottom lines this year but would expect them to be right in the middle for next year.

Hangout is one of the most fun festivals but it's still second-tier in terms of booking. That's not a knock or a even a bad place to be. It feels realistic to get a couple of acts out of Mumford, Drake, Elton John, Eminem, Florence, or Sam Smith next year. Some good stuff in there for sure, but a lot of "Been there, done that." And we're only going to get a Paul McCartney or Bruce after they have played bigger festivals first, which is fine but rules out a lot of acts off the bat.
I think the realistic ceiling is to get one of those in the first group, someone like Pearl Jam or Arcade Fire (that are great but aren't hard to see because they play all over the place all the time), and then something that may not be groundbreaking but at least hasn't been at every festival the past few years, like Aerosmith, Green Day, the reunited Guns N Roses, Will Smith, or Adele.
I would be excited for about 40 headliners and thrilled if none of ours came from that first group I mentioned. So we just have to wait and see if it looks more like the stale basement of that like Mumford, Drake, Sam Smith, or if we get something a little fresher. I'm optimistic so I'm hoping for that realistic ceiling.

ZBB and DMB appeal to the younger crowd
You are correct! Maybe better said that older folks like me who aren't as tuned into newer music want to see folks like ZBB, DMB, etc.
Agree that The Struts would be a fun add to Hangout 2016 lineup.
David Bowie is releasing an EP in January. Dark Star or something like that.
Will Smith w DJ Jazzy Jeff - Prince - David Bowie
And no one else. Thats the $5 million budget right here.
Fine by me. But let's have Will Smith do the pre-party and then Prince on Friday and Bowie Saturday and then Sunday we will all just sit on the beach with nobody performing and talk about how amazing Bowie and Prince were.

If we could get them to start about 6:30 and fireworks at 9:00...plenty of time for beach parties. I could almost go for morning sessions and siesta break when the sun goes blistering...plenty of beach and pool time, free water slide, volleyball, DJ on the beach....
GNR, Pearl Jam, Bowie, RHCP, Elton John, and Soundgarden all expected to release albums late 2015 or 2016. Chris Cornell in Nashville at the Ryman this Tuesday. Anyone buy tickets on the street in front of Ryman for a sold out show? OCMS at Ryman 30 December. Gonna try to get to more shows in Nashville.
Sturgil lost his voice and had to reschedule so we audibled to Mark Knopfler @ Chastain...great decision.
...fwiw, saw a blurb a month or so ago about Bowie...it was the producer of either Isle of Wight or Glasto and he said, "Bowie will never play live again." ...said he knows him and had had numerous conversations with him about a one off or tour and it's not going to happen.
21 Pilots have a pretty big tour gap from early April through May on what seems to be a pretty extensive tour. Been expecting them back and if anything this prob makes them somewhat likely.
Yeah I've been expecting Pilots from the get go. As for Mac & Ryan Lewis, I don't despise them like most do but hate the idea that they're headliner level now. I've been saying they're due for a Surf closer slot for us the last few weeks and that's fine. They'll have a huge crowd and usually Hangout does a good job of putting some1 legit as a Palladia closer at the same time so we'll have options. Last year I think we had Galactic, Father John, and Phantogram as Palladia closers.
