the youth continue to force shitty acts to the top of the card bcuz they are in love with a song or that they have forgotten about by the time the festival ends.

Headliners used to be bands everyone knew and consistently drew thousands of fans to their shows over 5-10 years. Now, headliners are one hit wonders who drew a thousand to their last show but, the latest market survey reflects a huge financial gain in the short term.

As many beach sites as there are around the US, ditto lakes and other cool scenic places, I hope the saavy business managers and promoters can come up with a classic rock Hangout fest. I think Tortuga is a country and western festival and I think somebody started a new country fest near Panama City Beach. Destin or even Perdido Beach would be a fun place to pull that off. Headliners Pearl Jam/Bruce Springsteen/The Eagles or even Prince/Journey/Doobie Brothers.
Hangout will likely turn out just fine this year and those of us that move on will be replaced by just as many or more ticket buyers and condo renters. I'm planning on attending.
They havent toured the US since 2014, have no new music since then, and were 36th on the poster at Lolla that year. Sure they have an impending album release and have gotten bigger globally but thats an ascension crazier than Imagine Dragons to headliner/sub status

I'm not sure how they are that big. They're at Champion Square for they're Nola tour date. I'd never thought they'd be at that venue. Maybe the parish or Gasa Gasa. Didn't they only have two hits? I don't get it.
What are the odds that Hall and Oates headline pre-party? I saw them in Nashville a couple years ago and they are good for about an hour and a half...then bedtime. I think they are playing Okeechobee and like second liners. Their music would be a good Thursday night vibe given the rest of the weekend.
So maybe the playlist with Freedia on it was just advertising a past performer. I met some people that Friday (2012 I believe) and told them to be sure not to miss the set and make sure to note the audience and the various reactions. He and his girlfriend found me on Sunday afternoon with their thanks and a bunch of stories on dropped jaws. Lmfao. Maybe this should be on the shows thread, but playing Hangout 16 or not, Freedia will be queen of the premier parade on the planet, Krewe du Vieux. Haha. I remember they had Cheeky Blakk as queen a few years ago, and I hit her with, "I said hey mf hey mf hey hey hey mf hey mf..." And so she blew me a kiss. She spotted me the second time and busted out a "I said hey mf..." At me on her megaphone. Haha.

So this weekend I attended my local alternative radio stations yearly concert. I had a chance to catch a few artists playing at Hangout this year so I thought I'd share my review.
Coleman Hell - Nothing special, I wouldn't call him the most musically talented guy in the world but he was a decent front man with a lot of energy and it has a chance to be a decent mid afternoon boom boom set. My girlfriend enjoyed it but I'd only check him out again if there were no conflicts.
BORNS - I showed up about half way through his set but he sounded great live. I was surprised with how big of a crowd he drew too, I wouldn't be surprised to see him blow up with the recent album drop. I would be excited to see him with an early afternoon beach set.
X Ambassadors - Meh.. Very, very meh.. My girlfriend really likes them too and she agreed with it being meh. They sounded alright it was just super boring and it was note for note identical to the album. My favorite part of seeing artists live is seeing how they perform their songs live with a spin to it but it was literally like sitting there listening to the album No energy, no crowd interaction, no jamming, nothing.
The Neighbourhood - Easily the biggest disappointment of the day. I was pretty excited for them going in because I felt their music would translate well to a live performance but no not at all. They sounded terrible, they need to get a new sound guy because it was all distorted and it seemed like they were trying to play over each other. They also showed up 10 minutes late and ended five minutes early abruptly. There was no energy at all, I think the lead singer took a total of 10 steps the entire show.. There could have been some partying going on prior to their performance that might have caused it to be so poor but I wouldn't give them another chace unless my entire group wanted to go and I had no conflicts.
Walk the Moon - Easily the biggest surprise of the day! I really didn't think much of them going in but the show was really enjoyable and I could definitely see myself dancing to them on the beach. They were super humble and looked so excited to be there. I will be seeing their set this year as well as their good friends in the undercard "The Griswolds" who I saw in Orlando last month who had the same feel good, dance party vibe to them.
Also saw OM&M who were SO GOOD! Really sad this wasn't the year that Hangout nabbed them.. 21P headlined the show and I really can't believe how huge they have got.. 20K people going CRAZY to them. I think it's safe to say they will be billed in the top 6-8 at festivals heading forward there is just no denying how huge their following is. I would much rather have someone else in their spot but I'd check them out if billed because their live show is pretty awesome.
My girlfriends favorite artist is The Weeknd so we're seeing him next week. I'll be back to report on how it goes.. I might have to drink a little extra to get through this one.

It wasn't only on the playlist but the actual advertising for the festival this year. If you go back and look at the picture it has them listed on the lineup card with a "buy your 3 day pass." I've never seen them but am pretty excited to see how it goes on the beach after hearing their music!
Shame to hear the Neighbourhood was so bad. They have some decent songs that feel like they'd be cool live but I haven't checked anything out on Youtube yet. That sucks to hear.

Agree. I really like their stuff and have been trying to see them for awhile. Maybe it was just that show? I will still give them a chance, if I get the opportunity, but that sucks to hear.

...had no idea Stapleton was getting that kind of love...good for him.
Quick question for sarge and others in this thread- I may be looking into the St Louis show for Tool the night before the Nashville show just because of costs. That being said, My Nashville hotel was booked at a special rate and can't be refunded. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in taking the room. It'd be Saturday only 1/23, its 2 queen beds, like 3 blocks from the venue. $140 after fees and everything. I can't get a refund but I can manage the name for the reservation and let some1 else use the room. Let me know if anyone's interested.
dpickles...thanks for the information. You rock! I will add Borns and Walk the Moon to my must see list for the beach.
agree that the grammy list for rock...aint...except for Foo Fighters. IMO you have to give Foos the award because they are the only band that meets minimum qualifications.
I am struggling over the Weekend. So much hype, grammy possible, but took up a headliner slot I would much rather seen filled by a rocker or new alternative band. Definitely have the plan B ready for a quick exit to the pool.
dude the weeknd is #3 most listen to artist world wide on spotify and ellie is #5. Calvin is #10.
alabama shakes rock hard tasty abs.
Probably McDonalds, Taco Bell, Shoneys and Subway are all in the Top 10 most popular restaurants. And Walmart is likely the top retail outlet. Essentially, anything that popular in America probably sucks.
