I am a huge fan of OCMS, Amos Lee, Jason Isbell, Blackberry Smoke, Drive By Truckers, Tom Petty, Allison Krauss, ZBB, Government Mule, Railroad Earth, String Cheese Incident, Los Colognes, Shakey Graves, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, Colin Lake, and others who have played Hangout to sizable crowds for their place on the lineup. If you were only given half of the Pearl-Muse-Florence-Lana-etc lineup and had to add the other half from this list or someone similar...who would you want to see to fill out that bill?
The thing is, out of all the artists you listed, only two of them would be billed above Tame Impala (who was bottom on the mock I made) and out of those two, ZBB and Tom Petty, one of them played last year. I have seen most of the people you listed and liked all of their shows. I do think that String Cheese would be a good act to add after Tame Impala on the mock. I would also love to see Gov Mule
I was looking for someone other than the ones listed but close to same style of music that the other half of the 35,000 Hangout fans would want to see and bridge the gap.
I think I have this exact top 6 posted somewhere. Maybe replace Florence with The Weeknd? Not that I want that at all but feels realistic. Fingers crossed.
The problem with switching Florence for the Weeknd is that it would be a HUGE price difference. Apparently, The Weeknd has decided to charge about as much as McCartney. Don't get me wrong, The Weeknd being on a bill will help sell alot of tickets, he isn't worth as much as McCartney. And, jackwagon, I'm not a fan of her music (great voice but i just don't like her music), but she would be a great act to move tickets and I don't think she would be too expensive to get.
As much as McCartney? That's ridiculous. I'm not familiar with his music at all, but he's got what, 2 albums? Unbelievable.
Gonna give ya benefit of the doubt. Wiki says McCartney has 36 albums not counting Beatles work. If you haven't seen one of his performances last couple years...you should. Dude's show is freaking amazing. Stones were also amazing. Not sure anyone who is still living can put on a show like that. They call it classic rock for a reason. It is popular because it appeals to all genres of music lovers.

There's a lot of stuff that we only have a shot at for a couple more years, like AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, Rush, Roger Waters, and David Gilmour. Then retirement and/or health issues take over. I'm hoping for one classic headliner like that, even though the above aren't very likely.
Got my Sir Paul tickets in the mail today for the Buffalo show next month. So pumped for that. I could realistically see a Pearl Jam - Muse - Florence top line. I was actually going to work on a mock tonight with XXX - Muse - Florence. Pearl Jam was one that came to mind. It would have to be someone with enough sing-a-long potential as a lot of the crown will like Muse and Florence but they just don't have the sing-a-long potential of the previous headliners. I like most of what Bob posted as well but have seen the majority of them recently and as previously said most wouldnt be top 3 lines at this point. String Cheese would be interesting on the beach.

Totally agree Matt. They seem to do well with legacy acts and I'd take any of those even though I'm not a huge Rush fan. That would be a fun show at least. There are a bunch more similar that are escaping me right now as well.

They did a double set in 2012. We caught set 1 and almost regrettably left for the beach side screen rail for red hot chili peppers. Somewhat of a mistake but it's whatever.

Yea it was a lot of fun that second set when the visuals really started popping off. We went to Shpongle after SCI and that was an excellent decision.
Hate that I missed Suck My Kiss but it's whatever. Being late my main concern was missing Breaking the Girl but they didn't play it at Hangout so I made the right call. Heard Soul to Squeeze, which was my highlite from that show. Coneheads 4 lyfe
not that this means much of anything towards Hangout but Pearl Jam is set for 2 Philly shows in April next year, if they head towards the south following it might be a good sign.
Damn, how'd I miss this? (searches internet for more tour date rumors)
my friend works for Comcast Spectacor who does the booking for the Wells Fargo center here. Dont think anything has been released to the public yet

Agree. I hope to see some of the classics before they are gone. There are quite a few classic rockers who would be awesome on one of the two beach stages and would draw a huge crowd. Even if I've seen ZZ Top ten times, I would rather see them one more time a lot of others going on the Hangout lineup. And I believe they are asking a lot less for their performance too. Others I would include; Aerosmith (I heard Steve Tyler was soloing next year), The Eagles (Don Henley is soloing), Santana (understand he is playing with his son on his first tour), Robert Plant, John Cougar Mellencamp, The Doobie Brothers, Pat Benatar, Kiss is touring and new album next year, and others. I would go see the Mellencamp or Doobies over Flo-machine without a doubt. Ditto Mellencamp or Sheryl Crow. Maybe they could put Doobies on second line or Palladia opposite Flo-machine. I consider Pearl Jam a classic rocker even if only a couple of their songs made it to the top of Billboard 100. I just missed the Amazing Rhythm Aces...bummer. They would be awesome on the Hangout Restaurant Stage. So go with Pearl-Muse-Flo as the three closers on main stage, but insert ZZ Top, Sheryl Crow, Chris Cornell, and Robert Plant on the second and third lines for pre-headliners or after dark Palladia stage performers. Hangout has been different and better than other festivals by not loading up or recent alternative bands or fringe rockers. They spread the love and put on a really well balanced show. We will see what GV does. From other venues, I believe they will balance the lineup and maybe bring in a top classic rock performer like Fleetwood Mac.
String Cheese Incident 2012 was outstanding...I was there.

It was so nice to walk around the festival grounds and do basically whatever the hell we wanted with no lines and no whiffs of BO because all of the dirty hippies were at SCI. I posted early for RHCP, too.
Seems to me, they've pulled away from the jammy stuff in the last two years. So, I don't think this would even be on the table for 16. Not complaining a bit, mind you!

Hahaha. Patchouli power! That might be my lease favorite smell of them all. I'm not sure if I'd rather smell pits or patchouli. But I do miss that Huka influence. It's not for everyone, and I know you don't listen to it, but a little jam interlude, be it STS9, SCI, Umphrey's, etc. helps me get my fill of rock in. I hope they bring back a Paladia act or two next year - could be Lotus, Papadosio, Lettuce, whatever. They did have Umphrey's last year, which was excellent. And STS9 and Pretty Lights the year before were also superior. Break Science was great and the all-star collaboration with Preservation Hall (and Friends) was money as fuck.
Btw, that Run the Jewels and TV on the Radio collaboration was cool. We luckily got to see RTJ at Buku & Bonnaroo this year and TV at Hangout and Buku. Might have been nice to throw together that type of collaboration. Voodoo is giving us Joey Bada$$ with Soul Rebels. Hopefully that will be a much better set than the scratchy sound I got at the Hangout pre-party.

Seeing ZZ Top at Louderthanlife Fest in a couple weeks for the third time. Always a great show. Surprised they haven't played Hangout yet being as they are always playing Texas/Mississippi around the time of the fest.
Billy Gibbons has a solo album coming out 11/6 with a Latin "flair". Set for his first solo tour with a 11/11 stop in Nashville Bob.

Ya I watched that Colbert performance this morning too. Hot fire right there. Life Is Beautiful probably has the worst 3 headliners of all fest this year but I love their undercard and I can't wait to see RTJ next weekend.

Since this is half Hangout talk and half "Regulars talk about their lives", I'm going to post with the second part in mind. I'm going to see Van Halen in Birmingham tomorrow night. I just found out that Jewel is doing a book signing and playing songs for about 30 minutes to kick her signing off at a book store close by. So I'm kind of going to see Jewel open for Van Halen.

Random Topic
I want to do a little more research on this, but Hangout seems to so decent job on bringing the female artists on-board. A quick count looked looked like this: 10 Exclusive artists/singers with an unknown back-up band (Jenny Lewis, Elle King, Halsey) 20 Bands with a female lead singer/back up singer/musician (Mowglis, Rubble Bucket)
23 Bands altogether with a female within the band
Out of 74 Bands (not counting pre-party)
31% of the line up has a female within the band.
When counting ACL Fests female artists within their first 100 starting with headliners, it looked like this: 9 Exclusive artists/singers with an unknown back-up band (Florence & The Machine, it's basically all about her, Meg Myers)
15 Bands with a female lead singer/back up singer/musician (Sylvan Esso, Alabama Shakes)
16 Bands altogether with a female within the band
16% of the line up has a female within the band.
*I only reached down into the top 100 due to ACL being almost double the size of Hangout AND having TWO weekends worth of line-ups.
In Comparison to Wakarusa's top 100
3 Exclusive artists/singers with an unknown back-up band (Macy Gray, Rising Appalachia)
8 Bands with a female lead singer/back up singer/musician (Kopecky, Trigger Hippy, Thievery Corp)
11 Bands altogether w a female musician within the band
basically went from 2014 having very few female artists and more garage rock to no garage rock and a heavy influence on female acts. Def was interesting 180 they did, hopefully they keep us guessing again.
seeing Alabama Shakes tonight for the first time, cant wait to her Brittany Howards voice live@
I like a balanced lineup, variety, and definitely the ladies. Got really pumped over Bama Shakes first album and excellent Hangout performance, but did not like or buy their second album. Should be a good show though. Anybody on here in our Hangout crew live Dallas area? Looks like I'm going to be in Plano Columbus Day weekend. Bought tix for Jason Isbell in Choo-choo-ville Nov 8th. Today I found out Boz Scaggs playing Tivoli Nov 11th. Dang.
