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.
I just did a quick Hotwire check of STL for that date, and it has 4-star for 62+fees. That's nearly always Hilton at the Ballpark, which is really decent. Hard to beat it for that price. Hop on Amtrak, drink Bloody Marys for a few hours, and you' re set.
Yeah were just gonna do that. You can get floor seats for this show for like $150ish. Well worth it for us. Especially combined w the cheap hotel and travel. Anyone have any advice for getting rid of this nonrefundable room though? I posted it on www.cancelon.com but I have no clue how legit that site is.
Well, it doesn't look like anyone is going to drop a lineup that I like this year. Bummer.
Blarg.
Agreed, but at least I have a few things at Buku, likely a few at Jazzfest and certainly Juicy J, STS9, Bassnectar, Tycho, Motet, Lil Dicky, GRiZ & Lettuce at Euphoria so far.

Bah-humbug, I know. The problem is just that I've seen the majority of these bands several times. If I hadn't ever seen any of them I would be excited for some of them.

For the first time in a long time, there are more shows I am excited about than festivals. Hopefully, Silversun Pickups will be at a festival (or added) that I am going to (since I am not going to Hangout for like 5 bands) or will play the Civic.

Agreed! David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Will Smith, Van Morrison, Tool and Primus, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Duran Duran and CHIC, Dead and Co., The Cure, Black Sabbath...That's a lot of good, big name tours.
Yeah. It' s not great, and I'm not going. But there is mid-card I would go to otherwise.
i got you. just getting clarity with all the shaky beats talk going on as well. forecastle mid card has some nice acts agreed but for sure feels softer on the headliners then hangout and ours are weak.nd

As many shows and festivals as everyone on here sees, it's really hard to be 'blown away' by any lineup...but, it seems like the Avetts have done every festival 2or3 times in the past 8yrs. I guess they have a strong following to get top billing. Shakes are soooo overrated imo. I have no problem with the undercard. do I actually have to ponder going back to the furnace known as bonnaroo?
Definitely no interest in Shaky Beats. Hangout still my beach vacation with side of dance party plus Jason Isbell. Agree that 2016 might be the year of concerts vice festivals. Doobies in Nashville this summer with Journey and Dave Mason will make up for headliners at Hangout. I guess this is the year of the teenies at Hangout. It will be interesting.
so it looks like someone fixed that BIg Freedia name on the pandora ad. it now says Chainsmokers
Hoping that they were just trying to cover it up rather than "fix" it. Queen of Bounce would be such a fun add. I took a snapshot and posted on the hangout twitter at 3am and that shit was taken down QUICK.
IMO, Forecastle not much better/worse than Hangout. There is a nugget way down the lineup called Wild Child. Met these folks, a young couple, at the Northeast Florida Blues Competition in Pensacola a couple years ago. Bought the CD. Definitely worth a listen. The gal plays the heck out of the drums and the young dude playing lead guitar is really good and has a style all his own. For the rest of the lineup, been there or done that. Unknowns on undercard not a lot different than Hangout from what I can tell. I like Los Colognes, Avetts, Shakes, Blackberry Smoke, and Gary Clark Jr, but seen them a couple times in last couple years. I would rather see Blackberry Smoke headline anytime over Weekend and Calvin Harris.
The draw of Shakey Beats fans away from Hangout is ok with me.
Forecastle is awesome for the price and if you lived close by. For $150 I could get a shit ton out of it, but I'm not gonna drive all the way up to Kentucky for it. Also super jealous that they got Glass Animals. Saw them for my second time last night and I just fucking love them.
There is some really good on that lineup, but like everyone else has said, we have all seen them a bunch. I love Glass Animals, but the need to see them for a fourth time on the same album tour doesn't appeal to me. Their first three sets I saw, were all exactly the same. Sylvan Esso same thing, I LOVE them but I saw them three times last year. The set was varied but not by much. There is only so much variation on one album you can do.

Drive to Kentucky for bourbon tours/tastings. My texts have been blowing up with delicious names of all kinds of delicious KY whisky since the announcement

If you are near Monteagle Tennessee this Friday night from 7-10, check out my friends Jesse Black and Trey Binkley at Jim Oliver's Smokehouse just west of I-24. They are in college now and their music is just getting better and better. Trey can shred and play guitar like Jimi, and Jesse is a blues master in the making. I don't think there is a cover charge. Get there early for some of the best pulled BBQ and corn pudding on the planet. Hoping to see them in festivals soon.
Watched Ellie Goulding on The Voice last night. Hmmm,. Just ok. Her really breathy vocals were fine for TV, but hope she brings the harder stuff for the beach.
