Ellie Goulding could be on deck too with another album coming out. She had a huge crowd in 2013 and has gotten way bigger since. I'd def check her out again and would much prefer her over Lana.
watched the palladia highlights today and how in the world was there only 1 Beck song and ZERO foo fighters???? Kind shocked they left out the Mowglis too while giving Foster and Vance Joy like 4 songs.

Ya it looks like it was a lot of the vids that were already on mtv.com after the fest. No Future Islands, Foos, Frank Turner, or Father John. MMJ and Umph were the tits tho, a bunch of my buddies were in the video for "Puppet String."
cmack pops up right as FTP is starting on the first one they show with his lobster hat. i was in both fitz sets last year and all of the rdgldgrn on mtv.com last year but none this time even though mtv recorded me and cmack walking and taking bcuz they liked our gear one of the days.but these highlights were def a fail leaving so much good stuff out, im really baffled how the #1 act is left off????
So what are we thinking they are going to do for early birds? Looks like tickets were on August 8th last year and October 11th in 2013. It really could be any day I guess. Still torn between buying the early birds or trying to scrape up cheap tickets later on like I do with most other fests. I'm just worried GV will sweep us off our feet (no matter how unlikely that is) and I'll be paying a premium come April.

Just looked back at the 2015 thread at this time last year and it is pretty much every band being talked about now and only Foos were even remotely close. Here's a post from jackwagon summarizing most bands that people were talking about as well as Pearl Jam, Foos and Lorde around this time last year which all seem to be the big names being thrown around now. So I guess I'm saying we have no idea as always.
Couldn't stop thinking about the Hangout today so I thought I'd jump in on the thread. Realisticish headliners: Mumford & Sons - seems perfect for the beach, really surprised they weren't there in 2012 Kanye West - realistically yes I could see it happening, despite how little I want to see him after his Roo set... Paul McCartney - I can dream, right? Coldplay - never been a fan, but I could easily see them on the lineup Arctic Monkeys - love to see them rock on the beach Phish - doesn't seem quite as likely considering they played the Wharf last month Eminem - no hip-hop act will ever top Outkast, and the cost to get Slim would be outrageous Arcade Fire - don't tell me you don't wanna be a part of the crowd screaming when they play Wake Up Muse - just another headline-worthy band that may be performing at the time Radiohead - going into the studio this month, might be ready to play some shows by May Jack White - please bring this man back to the beach!

In 2014 I bought the regular priced ticket bc I went last minute. Last year, my husband and I bought them off of Stub Hub in late April for I think $180. I was a bit nervous that the wristbands wouldn't come in time or that they would be fake. But it ended up saving us over $100! I saw several people selling by the gate all weekend for $175 but I would be too nervous to wait until I got there to get a ticket! Too far of a drive to go back home lol!
Does anyone remember how much the early bird prices were for last year?
I try to keep pretty good records, but don't have early bird prices for 2015. I paid like $70 for my first tickets in 2010 and my alumni tix for 2016 were $209 out the door. My condo has gone from like $100 a night in 2010 to near $300 a night for 2016. Since this is my annual beach vacation...it has been a good deal for me and Island Winds is an incredible location, pool, beach, etc. I have purchased tix from the condo rental agency for $200 out the door when tickets on the street were going for more. I believe I have saved by getting the alumni and it is a no brainer as far as locking down a consistent fun vacation at an affordable (for me) price.
Moten33...I am very thankful that HOMF has not paid a lot of attention to our mocks. My favorite performers were not on the HOMF Inforoo radar screen (OCMS, Tom Petty, KOL, DMB, Blackberry Smoke, Steve Winwood, Jason Isbell, ZBB, Amos Lee, The Word, Drive By Truckers, any form of Warren Haynes, others). I did enjoy the Black Keys, Black Crows, Chris Cornell, Modest Mouse, TV on the Radio, Delta Rae and a boat load of performers that HOMF signed up that I just had not listened a lot to and that is a good thing. Fingers crossed GV stays the course and doesn't dramatically change the lineup equation that seems to have something for everyone and headliners that your little sister or classic dad can enjoy.
EDIT...I have never lost money on advance purchase tix...period.

Early birds were 189 plus fees last year so basically the alumni price plus a ton of fees. I think it came to 220 or so after the fees. So this year we can expect 209 plus fees so about 240 after fees.
I'd get the alumni tickets every year if I wasn't usually tapped out and maxed out after the fest haha.
I go to a lot of fests and buy and sell a lot of tickets for other shows so I am sure I could find something cheaper but as you mentioned it is such a log trip that takes a full year of planning so this is one of those fests where I generally don't try to risk it.

Exactly. My son is ten times more likely to go stubhub or some other source on the internet, etc. I live in Mayberry TN. I want to make sure I have tickets before I drive an hour or six and a half hours to a show. The condo (BR) sells a reasonably priced ticket if you rent from them which is my backup plan if friends want to go. If you saw me this past May at HOMF, the two "yutes" I shared the weekend with got engaged. Trying to talk them into getting married at HOMF next year. I am mucho conservative and plan my vacation really well so when I get there...I can chill. I admire the free spirits. They usually hit me up for a ticket and couch the week before....LOL!
I would really like to see someone who know the music business, goes to a lot of festivals, and has been to most of the HOMFs put together a mock lineup that is in line with previous lineups vice a wishlist. Then compare that to what GV comes up with. I'm just not that saavy for that task. I'm just betting on a headliner who appeals to the over 45 crowd like a John Mellencamp or Billy Joel. Also believe there will be balance down thru the lineup with pop, songwriters, folk as well as the standard festival EDM, rap, hip-hop, alternative and indie.
What does being conservative have to do with planing?
I conserve resources. Planning means making a list of things I can take from home and not have to buy at a greater cost when setting up the condo for a week. Scan the internet as part of planning for deals, specials, places to go and things to do. Planning ahead meant getting alumni tickets at the lowest cost without having to pay fees, etc. I conserve by planning where I will buy gas. I plan to make my own meals vice spending a lot to eat out...better and healthier food too. I make a list of things to purchase at the Foley outlets with coupons that save me a lot over what I would pay for them somewhere else. I spend several hundred dollars less on a week-long vacation and HOMF by planning ahead and being CONSERVE-ative.
Synonyms for conservative are prudence and caution, austerity, calculation, care, carefulness, concern, conservation, conservatism, considerateness, deliberation, diligence, discretion, economy, foresight (planning) forethought, frugality, heed, heedfulness, judgment, judiciousness, precaution, providence, reasoning, sagacity, tact, vigilance, watchfulness, wisdom
Hope that answers your question. And yes, I am an Eagle Scout (thrifty), have a Masters Degree in Industrial Engineering (planning and problem solving), and retired with a wonderful pension and no debts...HOMF is paid for up front. I teach this stuff to folks who are not conservative, do not plan, and who spend more than they make, don't know how to cook for themselves, etc. Give my neighbor Dave Ramsey a shout-out. Recommend reading his books and listening to him on radio.

Ohh, so you're saying you plan ahead? Have you met Ben Carson, like your neighbor?
Yeah, he seems to be a decent enough man. There's no doubting his intelligence but he makes some wacky ass remarks in the political realm. But you hear that kind of thing from anyone that makes it to the national spotlight.
Watched the 2015 Hangout on Palladia and thought it was pretty good. I did see the lobsters. I think I caught about half of those performances. Dunno why the left out the Foos. Several other performers left out and FTP had like four songs and Cold War Kids four. Jenny Lewis got a lot of time. MMJ and TV on the Radio got a bit of time and I thought they deserved it. Two of my favorite shows.
Gotta feeling Mumford and Sons and Sam Smith are in next year. I'd like to see Jeff Lynne too. I noticed all three of those performers were featured in Palladia commercials during the show. Anybody seen Moon Taxi lately? Their new release sounds good. I'd like for them to get a Chevy or Main Stage slot. Oh well...guess gotta wait awhile to find out. Last question..will they let you trade up tix for VIP?

I could definitely see Moon Taxi being in the Mowglis 2:30 beach stage slot as a similar band that people have loved in the past and has outgrown the smaller stages.

"Good morning, I am a customer that would like to give you more money, will this be an issue?"
I am sure there is a customer service number you can call. Although it is a completely different booking agent, Wakarusa's Pipeline Tickets upgraded me from GA to VIP for a different of the two, hassle-free. Hopefuly, they are smart and will allow you to do the same with HOF.
I am back from my brief stint in Utopia. I officially realized I can camp out in a Kia Soul and it was mega comfortable /w a blow-up mattress in the back of the car. Totally roughin' it. Utopiafest is 1/2 Austin Local Music Megabash (Wild Child, Shakey Graves (unannounced), Holiday Mountain, Suffers, Riders Against the Storm, Ruby Jane (Cameo)) and 1/2 Weird, Eclectic Group of Rarities. (Man Man, Tune Yards, Charles Bradley, Explosions in the Sky, Of Montreal, Leftover Salmon, RJD2)
-no gates, no security, no pat downs, free range camping, BYOB, airplane panty drops, kid friendly, no lines, no oversized crowds.
-It is a mini-mini Wakarusa nestled between beautiful green hills. They even had sand at the stages to give me some slight nostalgia of HOF.
-Two friends of mine had their wedding at the festival. Wild Child, being so badass as that they are, curated their "first dance" in the middle of their set in front 2000 adoring fans.
If I could pull two locals to be at Hof it would have to be either Wild Child or Riders Against the Storm (Booty Sweat!)
Two artists from the latter set would be either Tune-Yards or Man Man for bringing the weird and energetic as %*^. More Pictures to come.
I've got two alumni I might try to trade for VIP. Sarah and Krisp got me thinking about giving it a try. The Palladia 2015 Hangout show made VIP look worth the extra cash.

Utopia sounds like fun.
Week before the fest there were VIP bands on Stubhub for under 400 at one point. Hope that happens again because I will definitely snag one at that price.
