Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Calling a festival geographically challenged sounds more like a condescending, passive aggressive slight than saying it's smaller than a festival like Bonnaroo.
If a marketing group did a survey on perception of festivals, I'd bet a ticket to this bubblegump fest that HMF would be closer towards the festivals Juggs referenced than people think.
Not sure what this has to do with its size/attendance.
Coeds will be bringing a lot of parents to this one. That means money. Fill up the Foley outlet mall and restaurants with mommy and daddy will kids rage on the beach. Since I'll likely be attending with some twenty year olds...should be fun. Definitely know that Hangout has figured out their money train lies on the campuses of Southern Miss, Bama, Auburn, Fla State at the sorority and fraternity houses. Better put a heavy duty lock on your keg party.
I've never seen Lenny live...but, always thought the dude rocked. I can see him headlining over some of the other top tiers. Jason Isbell could headline this lineup. Still looking for answers to the VIP/Super VIP questions.

Oh my god, this is bad. Very bad. The Weeknd is a good pick but only if he's 2 or 3. Calvin Harris is bad, Florence and Alabama Shakes are both fantastic but past that, nothing. Cage the Elephant would be good if Dan Aurbach didn't ruin them and make them into another Black Keys.
But it's okay, if you guys wanna go five hours east the week before, Shaky Knees is sure to drop a hell of a line up. Shaky Beats (their new fest) is the same weekend as Hangout so I'll be waiting on that.
This is a prime opportunity for everyone to ditch Hangout and go to Levitation, a far superior fest with legit music you can't see for $15-20 twice a year in most cities.
Noooooooooooo. I don't want levitation to sell out/be crowded/ suck. I plan on maybe/hopefully going to that fest.
If there was a beach just as beautiful that had the same acreage as the Farm, EPC, Zilker or Grant Park, Hangout would have the same potential as them too.
This is weird. In discussing the size of the festival, Juggs is referring number of attendees and therefore amount of dollars to invest in a lineup, and is complimenting the lineup despite its smaller size compared with festivals with bigger size. For some reason you are taking it as a slight upon the festival and all of Alabammer.

This is the greatest post you've ever made, Bob.
And don't do VIP. It's mainly good for the main stage and the secondary beach stage. It's a waste of money if you don't like the headliners and other main acts.
Zen Arcade, can you change the thread title to "Hangout 2016: Fill up the Foley outlet mall"
If i had never been to hangout before and I thought of a party festival on the beach this is damn close to what I would book. I get it. Wish there was more rock (what else is new). But this is gonna sell out probably 100%. That being said, I can pick out about 20 acts I'm gonna see though without any research and 5 that I'm legit pumped to see:
Florence (obvi) Calvin Harris Shakes Ellie Kravitz Haim Cage Grimes Leon Bridges Miike Snow Big Grams RTJ Foals Neighborhood Portugal Moon Taxi Courtney Barrett Silversun Pickups X Ambass Kurt Vile The Struts Atlas Genius
That's just at first glance. Actually the more I look at this the more I like.
I'm with you on this one. Without even diving into the lineup I already see enough to make it worth it. Meh headliners, but that won't ruin the other awesome acts I'm gonna see.

Yes, and if the queen had balls she'd be the king. It's a smaller space, it's a smaller festival. It is what it is. Nobody is putting down your precious Hangout by stating the fact that it is smaller in both size and attendance than many other festivals.

Levitation > Fun Fun Fun > ACL
This is true. I was disappointed in the FFF crowd this year though. I've never been, but it seemed grossly undersold. Made me feel bad. Luckily I think you're right about Levitation. It is the best of the 3, and as cmack said, I doubt it ever runs the risk of selling out... I am still deciding on whether or not I can make it work...
o/t: Did you see what I posted on your FB? We have a date for Jan 13th. We'll discuss later.

I know they were everywhere last year, but can we take a second to acknowledge how f*cking awesome Run The Jewels and Florence are gonna be on that beach? Seriously.

Yeah, to me, VIP is only worth it if you're really into the top 6.
That was the booking that made me go "damn." Didn't really think that was even on the table. One thing I also noticed, it doesn't say anything about "more to come." this may be the full lineup.

Here's my favorite fb comment on the lineup so far...
"I'm all in for calvin, the chainsmokers, flume, bro safari, hippie sabotage to name a few electro.But I learned from last year I can only eat so many drugs.. So many!! Lol!"

I don't think it's a good lineup, but it's not fair to say that there's "nothing" beyond Alabama Shakes. HAIM, Grimes, Leon Bridges, Miike Snow, Run the Jewels, Foals, Courtney Barnett, Vince Staples, Health, and Bully are all very solid bookings.
I don't know what to make of their decision to basically say "screw everyone who isn't in their early 20's." Maybe doubling down on having a spring break college vibe will work for them though. I will say pretty smart to release this before the holidays. Since they are trying to skew towards a younger demographic, makes sense to take advantage of gift giving and what not.

Looks like the perfect lineup/lineup drop date to appeal to the young crowd who are getting festival tix from their parents for the holidays. No way this lineup is to actually compete for best festival of the year. Especially with all the first and second year fest popping up (neighboring Florida has a fest a month it seems now) Hangout and other smaller, established fest are gonna have to start finding a niche/target audience or they'll dry up and another company will buy the property out from under them.
