2015 - Paramore, Skrillex, My Morning Jacket 2014 - Queens of the Stone Age, Flaming Lips, Jack Johnson 2013 - The Shins, Bassnectar, Trey Anastasio Band
So Saturday 2015 and 2013, they put on a DJ to close the 2nd beach stage. I've never seen it as packed as it was this year for Skrillex though Sunday 2014 for Portugal the Man (earlier set) was pretty definitely packed too (that year featured 40,000 people though). It's clear that they will mix up rock bands, DJ's and singer songwriters without much uniformity. If I'm Goldenvoice, I'm throwing the bone to Big Gigantic for a Saturday Night beach party. I think they're easily sub-headliner status now and certainly capable of closing out the Boom Boom tent vs. a main stage performer. But the party that was Skrillex on Saturday night this past year proved that you can pack the beach with a DJ/electronica. Skrillex, though he has the name, isn't really even all that. Most people get down way more for Big G. And while I realize they aren't for everyone, if they could replicate the energy from this year's Waka set on the beach, they would pretty much rule that spot. It would possibly likely lead to an anticlimactic Saturday closer at the HO Stage depending on who it is.
I could definitely see Big G in that beach party spot. I also think The Floozies would fit in the tent in the afternoon. I'm no electronica guy at all, but Big Gigantic, Griz, and the Floozies were some of my favorite shows this season. It's doubtful that Griz would repeat in 2016, but not entirely implausible. Any contamination of the 3 would be fine with me.

of montreal wouldn/t be nearly that high. Also, Aokia being #1 edm is cringeworthy and ruins the whole thing
agree on Aoki but it seems like he has at least come close to reaching that level. Just off the top of my head I know he was the #1 billed DJ at Made In America last year and #2 at Firefly this year.

Oh, sorry for not being clear. I didn't mean that he was billed too high (i know next to nothing about him, but he does seem like a #2 at HOF to me.) What I meant was "Steve Aoki sucks and they just had hi a couple of years ago. So, I hate to see him on the lineup at all, much less billed #1, when there are much better options that HOF has never booked before."
still agree. im using him as a repeat bcuz he would make sense to fill a higher EDM spot now compared to his mid day tent show (which wasnt bad all things considered and im not a fan). I try to only use repeats for bands that have gotten much bigger and would prob be pumped to a main stage now like how the Mowlgis were and prob how 21 Pilots will be if they come back

legit question, has he really gotten that much bigger? Like, what in the world caused him to ge bigger, I feel like I havent heard him discussed in years
i dont follow the EDM stuff either so i really couldnt tell you. I have seen him twice, one at HO 2013 on that mid day slot and last year at Made In America and it was a similar set with a bunch of "covers" and it was awful, i didnt stay long. He doesnt seem to do anything lol or even have crazy production like the others that get billed that high.

yeah, It's really crazy to see how far some simple button pushing, baking skills, and a decent throwing arm can take someone

Agreed. It's name. Most people know who he is even if the sets are more or less underwhelming. His set at Hangout 2013 was okay (thought Porter Robinson's set was the best DJ set I saw that year at Hangout), but it was nothing to write home about. Biggest fear on the EDM side is that Hangout takes a page out of Voodoo's playbook this year and add a bunch of house DJ's. There are a lot of them from Europe who are very popular in the US (at least on par with Aoki if not much more so) with a large segment of the electronic community who do absolutely nothing for me but probably could be big at Hangout. Those are people like Tiesto, Avicii, Alesso, Hardwell, Axwell (mostly from Sweden) who draw massive crowds but end up boring the *#*^ out of me. Do not want that. I'd take Calvin Harris if we had to as at least his songs, though pop, tend to be decent and more than just the same beat over and over and over and over and over and...

Calvin Harris at Made In America 2013 is my fav DJ set ever, granted i dont go to many at all but it was worlds better then Tiesto, Aoki, Deadmau5 for me. Even with the shitty MIA young crowd the dance party was wild and he didnt just play his radio songs which i figured he would.

I had a lot of fun at the calvin Harris ACL show last year. It was a huge dance party and I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

While an insufferable dbag, Calvin Harris is worth his booking price.

Wouldn't mind Kaskade coming back. His set was pretty good back in 2012. Seems somewhat logical that he would headline after playing a mid afternoon slot.
