Ken Sumar. Tauk opened up the pre party a few years back.
I'll be in the tent opposite drake. It's just one headliner and I gladly skipped ZBB, so I'll chalk it up n that category, if it happens, which I hope it doesn't.
I'm kinda with Sarah. If HOF goes radical hip hop or strays really far from the first 6 years, could result in me not vacationing in Gulf Shores 2016. Once you lose your condo at IWE, you cant get it back so that is a concern. I agree that this is all guessing til the lineup is released. Still pretty confident that the lineup will have a solid group of performers I'll want to see and can avoid folks I dont want to see. We could have a massive boycott party on the beach behind Ocean Reef during a Drake show if no good tent fill in.

Hotline Bling is the only Drake song I've really ever liked. That's a catchy song. And Sufjan Stevens covered it to end his show last night. That Sufjan show was amazing.
Again I get the booking for the fest. It'll move tickets and fits the demographic. Granted I don't know the legit facts on pricing to book acts, but I can't imagine Drake is cheap. My biggest issue is how expensive he probably is and what that does to the rest of the lineup. All for an act I won't see. Coachella books him? Well whatever it's Coachella. They could still get AC/DC, Jack White, and a ridic undercard, not that big of a deal. For a mid size fest like Hangout that tops out at 40,000 people, not the same situation.
I would like to think that Hangout is just playing along with pop culture and everyone's current obsession with Hotline Bling and just making a little pun because of their beach location. I'd really hate for this to be the first year I don't attend Hangout since my first in 2011.
Same. I've been to every Hangout since 2011, VIP since 2012. I'm seriously considering selling my 2016 tickets and that makes me sad. But if Drake is playing, what kind of budget does that leave the rest of the weekend?
I don't even like Drake, but Hangout has booked and will book much worse headliners than him.
Um, no, he's by far the worst.
I just looked back through and i've stayed for full sets of 8 of the 15 headliners, so i've obviously been fine with HL's i didn't care for. But, like zaj is saying, this booking would really reduce the margin for error with the rest of the lineup.
....i like the ocean reef thought...hopefully that dj is not a drake fan.
Zac Brown Band, Skrillex, Jack Johnson, Widespread Panic, DMB
Skrillex and Jack Johnson didn't headline and I'll take DMB a million times over Drake. ZBB is on the same level for me, but at least they can jam a bit and again I'd imagine Drake is pricier than ZBB nowadays but I could be wrong. WSP was in the 2nd year of the festival and I'd still check them out over Drake easily. This is mostly personal opinion obviously but ya, I disagree.
What do you think we're getting for our Rock act this year? I think that's my biggest concern right now. Drake covers the hip hop side- fine. But what realistic rock acts do we have on the table? I was holding out a little hope for Pearl Jam which I guess isn't completely dead if you had a cheap #3.
We could have a massive boycott party on the beach behind Ocean Reef during a Drake show if no good tent fill in.
Somehow I doubt a couple dozen of you counts as "massive" vs. the tens of thousands who will be at Drake, but hey, what do I know.
Also, if you gremlins are taking that riff on Hotline Bling as anything more than a joke incorporating the idea of the beach with a song which has dominated social media of late, then you're even dumber than I thought. Drake might be there, as he makes a ton of sense for this festival, but this doesn't confirm anything, nor is he suddenly more likely than he was yesterday.
While it doesnt confirm anything, I think it certainly makes it more likely that he is there. Hangout has always teased acts via social media. Maybe not a headliner but MMJ last year which was #6 and Flips the year before who were #9. Every year theres pwople saying "oh ot doesnt mean anything" and then they show up on the lineup. Maybe they realize the polarity of the booking and want to set some expectations. Who knows. Youre right that it doesn't necessarily mean anything but that chance that it does is certainty there.
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
...drake's 2014 tour was with lil wayne which I assume was co-headlining?...they played sheds, so his price tag may not be as bad as we think...i.e. avg. headliner.
What kind of world do I live in where that douchebag would command more money than Outkast?
One where Outkast was trying to rake in as much money as possible in one year so was willing to accept lower bids than an active artist would?
Good point. But there's more talent in Big Boi's little toe than Drake's whole body. It makes me sick to think of how much he will get for ruining my night.

Beck is a better rapper than Drake. Easily.
With that said. Here is who I am hoping for:
