Top ten pretty unrealistic wants and I'm not putting Prince on the list cause I'm no lunatic.
Neil Young & Crazyhorse LCD Soundsystem Arcade Fire Black Mountain Ratatat Father John Misty (repeat) Courtney Barnett Run the Jewels Everything Everything Tame Impala
It's no big deal if they got Drake. I've only been to one festival ever where I liked all the headliners going in to the fest (Forecastle 2014)
It's not the greatest interpretation, but I would like to see it live. I watched some clips earlier this year assuming I would encounter that show somewhere, but it didn't happen. From a musical standpoint, their live performance of DSOM at Hangout isn't that good. But it was a blast in person. So I woukd hope...

These Top 10s have been kind of surprising to me. Lots of good stuff and lots of stuff that has been all over the place.
I've emptied my bucket list several times but here are my top 10 right now. The Fugees David Gilmour Roger Waters The Cardigans Prince Will Smith Simon and Garfunkel The Cure James Taylor Shad

On how much headliners matter to go to a fest or not to me it matters a lot on where I spend a couple hundred of dollars I do agree undercard is major but headliners is what really makes me want to spend my money. Enjoyed Jack White, RHCP, DMB, Tom Petty, Stevie Wonder, The Killers, and Outkast from going 12-14. My main reason for not going last yeah was having a country headliner and then announcing skillex as a headliner as well just because I'm not into country at all and barely into any edm but can enjoy it in between sets for fun.
My top 10 wish list this year: 1. Paul McCartney 2. Gorillaz 3. Pearl Jam 4. Adele 5. Kid Cudi 6. Of Monsters and Men 7. Weezer 8. Big Grams 9. Cage the Elephant 10. Alt-J

Secondly, if you're headliner dependent, you've got to be willing to fly around the country and go to whatever fest most suits you in a particular year.
Mid Card is super important, but I'd like one headliner I'm hankering to see (Foo Fighters), one that I'm neutral (Beck, which turned out to just as good as Foo) and one that I could care less about (ZBB). Unfortunately, that Saturday also had Skrillex vs ZBB which was a total 12 to 6. Ended up back at the condo ordering $30 worth of Papa Fuckface (johns)

I'm not headliner dependent I just said a undercard is very important but if I'd don't care for any of the headliners at all and not a major part of undercard then it's not worth it to me. I still also don't think Drake could be the worse headliner there is Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith. Haha
lol Tool, Soundgarden, and Big Grizmatik are all more likely than Dr. Dre and Ice Cube.
Clearly, he meant Dr. Pepper on Ice Cubes.
I know after a delightful evening full of jamtronica and 90s bands, nothing quenches my thirst like a DP.
Lmfao BBs. I would be happy with some Meshuggah, Suicidal Tendencies, Nuclear Assault or Down - but it's hangout. So I'll take the best possible outcome of at least some rock and a bunch of jam-jamtronica. Dr Pepper though? Eh....
Hopeful Top 10 (keeping it realistic, headliners to undercard):
1.) Pearl Jam 2.) Florence & The Machine 3.) Disclosure 4.) Noel Gallagher & The High Flying Birds 5.) Tame Impala 6.) Tenacious D 7.) Umphrey's McGee (Give them the late night spot back they lost last year against Drake) 8.) CHVRCHES 9.) Hot Chip 10.) Run The Jewels

Id take this whole top 10.
Id love to see Chrvches again. Theyre singer can just sit on stage and talk about her life, its hilarious. Best stage banter, hands down.
Ha we hate Drake so much, we blame him for shit that happened last year and he wasnt involved with. "If anyone wants to know where I am after the show, Ill be over at Bananarchy discovering exactly what this is"
Haha. Fuck you. . How about showing up? I'll even spring you and *****'s share for a condo nearby. What hard dub are they going to bring? Best case for me would be Snails, and maybe they would - but probably not. Problem for that whole side of the genre spectrum was the amount of shows they had last year that I actually like. Break Science live, Keys n Krates, Griz, Gramatik, grandtheft, beats antique, Odesza, preservation hall and friends, adventure club, etc. that's not happening again this year.

Skrillex wasn't a headliner, but I hear ya. I loved the undercard last year but didn't care for the headliners (at any festival I attended for the most part other than Shaky Knees) and I'm hoping the pool of headliners is much better this year.
According to my 2015 Poster the Headliners were Foo Fighters, Sam Smith, ZBB and Beck...if headliners are performers on top of lineup poster. Skrilly was first performer on second row. Close enough not to squabble over.

Hmm the poster I have framed on my wall clearly shows Jack-u as the second name after foo fighters.
There was an article/interview where Hangout stated that they now consider the top 6 headliners and that is where we found out that Sam Smith was not closing the main stage, but the chevy stage because they felt his music would be best for sunset. This is essentially the same as Lollapalooza having 6 headliners, only Hangout attendees get to see both acts each day instead of them conflicting with each other. Of course the acts billed 4, 5, and 6 at Lolla and Hangout wouldn't headline something like Roo, but they could headline a smaller fest like Buku. Since Hangout has a much smaller undercard than Lolla, they can afford to do this despite having half the people due to booking mainstage headliners that aren't quite as expensive and offering ridiculous VIP and super VIP packages.

Gotta love the ridiculous amount of vodka they allow you to consume in vip.

Na I know he wasn't but when they announced it locally they made it seem like he was lol. And yeah shaky knees had a great lineup last year but really hope fests raise the bar a little more with lineups in general all over from last year haha
So do we think this year will hold Hangout's first main stage EDM headliner?
If so what genre do they put in the tent at the same time? Jam or hip-hop I guess.
Somebody mentioned this earlier, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Umphrey's came back to play their tent show. Correct me if I'm wrong but they've played the festival 3 times now right? Not too far fetched to think they'd come back.
I know this has nothing to do with recent conversations but Shell decided to join us tonight for Dead and Co. in Buffalo so moten34 is about to experience "his" first Dead show. Proud to-be dad.
