I agree with all those who dgaf. Hangout headliners are much more inconsequential to me than the rest of the lineup. We all discussed this last year, but for my years:
2012 Fri: Jack White - had been dragged out Sat: RHCP - Watched Sun: DMB - Watched tuneup to say we saw him and left before 5 minutes
2013 Fri: Kings of Leon - Left before it started Sat: Tom Petty - Watched from the back Sun: Stevie Wonder - Stayed for whole show
2014 Fri: The Killers - went to STS9 Sat: Black Keys - went to Pretty Lights Sun: Outkast - Watched the whole show
2015 Fri: Foo Fighters - Split set with Jack U Sat: Zac Brown Band - went to Major Lazer Sun: Beck - watched the whole show but wasn't wild about the announcement initially
So again, and I'm sure I'm not alone, how many of these headliners are the sets you reminisce (sp?) on when you remember a given year at Hangout? For me, almost none of them as I have seen less than half of the headliners anyway.
So here is the point. This isn't Voodoo Fest where you pay for the HLs. This is Hangout. What comes to my mind for a given year? Shit like Chris Cornell and Flaming Lips doing Dark Side of the Moon in 2012, Trey Band, moe., Black Crowes and Big G in 2013, Moon Taxi as Rage, STS9, Pretty Lights, Flaming Lils, Outkast, Portugal. The Man in 2014, and Beck, MMJ, GRiZ, Beats Antique, etc in 2015.
Those aren't necessarily all my favorite sets from those years as I'd have to look it all up, and I don't feel like working that hard at the moment. But very few headliner sets have made an appreciable difference in any of my 4 previous Hangouts. Drake won't matter either.
Please don't turn this into the OkcoChode whatever thread with 2nd Amendment/Politics/Race arguments....we just had 2 1/2 pages dedicated to "Fuck Drake." We're TIRED. We're ANGRY. And were NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE.
Now listen to Phil and calm the FOCK DOWN!!!!!!!!
...pretty sure he said he wants to tour Australia and Asia, but here's hoping!

no no no, you don't get to just brush past that... please, explain yourself?
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.
Bonnaroo just Tweeted a link asking for your top 10 wish list. What's yours for Hangout?
1. Tame Impala 2. Alt-J 3. Fleet Foxes (I know that's nonsensical, but whatever.) 4. Punch Brothers 5. RTJ 6. Royal Blood 7. Big Grams 8. Decemberists 9. NOT Drake 10. No hippie jam crap either

I would agree with you, I have a carry permit, but...

Dude also seemed to be pretty fucked up which is probably not good. The security folks were definitely not happy with him.

Yeah, I didn't even think about no guns allowed at the fest and I agree that he shouldn'tt be allowed to carry if he is hammered

I was going to say that the gun wouldn't bother me as much as the gun around a bunch of drugs and alcohol. I would have A, gone to security, B, continued walking far away......or was that the night I wore a cowboy hat and a water gun?

Miley Cyrus before Wayne Coyne? No. After Wayne Coyne? Hell yeah.
"According to his post on Thursday, Cyrus is planning a show where the she, the Flaming Lips and the audience are all completely naked and where "white stuff that looks like milk" will be "spewed" everywhere. The concept is for a video, he continued, for the song "Milky Milky Milk." See the post below. "
idk man, maybe I'll be convinced after they do some full shows and get good reviews/some footage is released. But, I'm just not quite sold. Her with FLips is enough to intrigue, but not enough for me to hope to see them

It's a few pages back. It was hot as fuck. Multiple hot 16oz Dos Equis in, we saw Chris Cornell and drank more then went to Gravity A and drank more still and couldn't really stand up by that point. My oldest provided the shoulder (which I reciprocated during a very confused Portugal in 2014). We had parked about 3/4 of a mile down the road, and I think I left a two feet drag track down the highway. It wasn't a super proud moment in time, but you live and learn. That was my first away festival day (went to Bonnaroo and Deluna later that year). -------------
Trick of the Tail
Haha. Not happening, not getting Dance on a Volcano, Squonk, Los Endos from that album or anything off of Selling England by the Pound, Foxtrot or Lamb Lies Down on Broadway either. Phil comes with crap like There Must Be some Misunderstanding, It's No Fun Being an Illegal Alien, and other later day garbage. ---------
hippie jam shit
haha. They have 6 or 7 music areas. You can find something else at a given time.
They would be an expensive get though. Miley is HL budget and Flips are Sub-HL. Their current shows are booked around $70 at your basic mid sized venue. (Electric Factory, Philadelphia)
