Hangout '16: Weaknd Warriors

Heck yeah...but already committed to visit my son in California mid-October.  But, yeah...perfect Bob kinda lineup.  I will keep this one in mind for next year.  Love to see pretty much all these performers next year at HOMF.

I would go strictly for The Dismemberment Plan. VW and Neon Indian would be added bonuses.

Correct me if I'm wrong but are you two saying that you would NOT want Metallica to headline? Because, if so, that's hysterical considering. Metallica is a far better headliner than almost all of the headliners that HOF has had so far.

Ok ok, thank god that's the case, I was going to give up hope on this thread if the consensus was that y'all didn't want Metallica. Metallica on the beach would kick serious ass. As if it wasn't already hard to stay on your feet in a circle pit, try doing one in the sand!

Metallica would take me back to junior high school. I'd totally be down for that.

Remember, at one point that's what everyone thought about Bonnaroo and it just so happens that Metallica was the band was the first really big, heavy band that Roo booked (same goes for Lolla I believe) so why not Hangout next? Just saying, it's not the most far fetched thing to hope for and definitely see far crazier/less likely things get thrown around in here (TOOL is whole different story though.)

easily my least fav mock for the undercard. Is 30 Seconds To Mars putting out new music or expected to?

I definitely like Zen's Saturday and Muse on Friday night. Overall, Creates a lot of free time while getting to see Muse/KOL/Springsteen, Grace and TTB. I wound up at the pool from 1-4 PM this year so solid later afternoon and evening performers are what I am looking for.

I am all in for the Decemberists. Are they the only folk-acoustics on the mock lineup? Maybe add a couple in this genre like; Chris Stapleton, OCMS, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Kacey Musgraves, and Mattlikesrock had a really good bluegrass band I would like to see but can't remember their name.

I would rather see Grace, then TTB, then KOL 1-2-3 on Hangout Stage. That would definitely keep a lot of people from having to navigate between the Surf and Main stage on Saturday night. I would think the AWOLnation and Ryan Adams fans would most likely stay for Deadmau5. Anyone besides me for lining up three similar fan based acts on Main and Chevy to cut down on pedestrian traffic jams?

I could see Friday headliner being one of; Taylor Swift, Ed Sheerhan, Pit Bull, as well as Muse. For me, Muse would be my choice with Sheeran second but, Pit Bull on the beach would be a party. I thought this was a pretty good comment from someone on a CoS article - "The pining for the Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Bruno Mars-level acts is exactly what will finally pop the festival bubble. Let them play the Super Bowl, where the obnoxious, over-produced and tone-deaf music can fall on the appreciative ears of people with no obvious sense of discern. As you've all noted, the smaller, weirder festivals wind up the most rewarding, and it isn't even close. Who the hell wants to fight crowds all day to see their favorite bands play through midday heat only to be rewarded with "I Kissed A Girl" and the kind of people who actually showed up to hear it? Give it another 5-10 years, when all of the legacy rock acts finally cash out, and folks will decide it really isn't worth $600+ for a weekend of listening to the same shit you hear at Target, the supermarket, and, well, the Super Bowl. "

I thought this was a pretty good assessment in CoS - consequenceofsound.net/2015/06/top-10-music-festivals-headliners-in-north-america-spring-2015/ Agree that KOL, Black Keys, Jack White, etc are getting worn. I would love to see MMJ come back and close Main Stage on Saturday night though. They were/are fantastic on the beach. Still intrigued by Florence in the Machine and they/she would be a new act for Hangout and fun on the beach. Kinda like Beck though...not as wide a fan base and following around south Alabama.

I would rather trade Springsteen for bands that really capture the "toes in the sand" aspect of HOMF. I've seen Springsteen three times and he rocks, but think one of these would be a better fit; Fleetwood Mac, Boz Scaggs, CSNY, Santana, Eagles, Buffett. Bruce strikes me as more of a downtown concrete and steel, smoke and tail lights kinda performer.

Taylor swift is fine even though I don't give a crap about her music. Her only problem is how much she is to book. Pitbull, like Kanye West and Iggy Azelia, should just stop existing (musically).

or nah

Umph def got the shaft. Best light show and they're playing at 630pm. Lupe gets shafted too.

Kanye bcuz he is terrible live and Tay bcuz the avg age of the fest would drop even younger, however if there was a sweet tent closer oppo i prob wouldnt care as much, but still, no thanks.
