....lots of good days already mentioned...one of my favorites, Friday 2014: Los Colognes>Balkan Beat Box>Valerie June>Dawes>Gary Clark Jr>STS9 (the downer that day was not being able to hear QOSTA...a problem which they definitely fixed last year)
Here is an article obviously raving the fest but also interviewing with Sean O'connel, the overlord, overseer, the director of THE HANGOUT.
Anyways, no hints or mentions of additions.
""This is a festival that's very 'now,'" he said. "Leon Bridges was just on 'Saturday Night Live,' Grimes is hitting everybody's Top 10 list of albums for the year, The Chainsmokers, who have a huge audience and now have a huge hit ... That part's really exciting. So many of these bands, their audiences are growing nationally every day. That's exciting, when you get someone that's on your stage and they're on that track.""
"There's a lot of factors when you book a festival. We were able to line up a great lineup and get it out early," he said, referring to the 2016 roster unveiled in mid-November, nearly two months ahead of last year's schedule. "The whole process ... is very collaborative," he said. "I can tell you we're really enjoying working with our partners, that's for sure."
"They've got what O'Connell said will be The Weeknd's only U.S. festival appearance in 2016, and they rolled out a complete lineup roughly two months earlier than they did last year."
"Now" is one way to put it...of course, booking what happens to be popular in a given year in no way speaks to quality.
wasnt PL Friday vs the Killers or do I have it backwards?
Yeah Friday was TBK vs STS9 and Saturday was Killers vs PL. I thought the Killers were fantastic. I know they've been everywhere on the fest scene but that was the first time I saw them. They literally just played every hit they have and then some. I loved it. Now do I need to see it again? Probably not.
First time for me too and i had blast and it was the furthest from the stage i ever was for like any set ever too. Ill never forget me, cmack and our friends met this group and at the end of the set and their friend came over with this guy she just met or something and they were all hammered and the guy asks if thats the end of the set, so we tell him yea, and he immediately breaks out into Boyz 2 Men 'End Of The Road' and turned into a big sing a long with everyone around us.
^^I vaguely remember that......was probably my blackout night. Usually one night out of 3 that happens. KoL had us tackling each other out of sheer boredom.
Been pretty bummed that I missed out on LCD Soundsystem before James Murphy pulled the plug. Spotify has their 4 hour farewell concert as a playlist and it sounded ridiculous. I hope it turns to be true that they make a return.
They def are, just a matter of whether you catch them or not. It's looking like I picked the worst year to have my wedding on Lolla weekend. If they wud ev just done it in August like they always do I'd be fine. Assholes.

Ok so y'alls boy Weeknd played a show at The Forum on Wednesday and our local radio show was talking about it after they went. "He seems like a very socially awkward guy. Weird stage presence. He seems to me like the new Prince. Very weird and mysterious but also talented."

Ah the KOL set I sat there and dug a hole in the sand to see how deep I could get. Got down to the water but my fiancé made me fill it bc she didn't want someone to trip in it party pooper.
Yep..concur. Pearl Jam in, Calvin down a line or two and in the tent, etc., would sure make a huge difference. If Chattanooga Riverbend can get Heart...c'mon. Understand NOW for the newby college crowd, but for those of us who have been doing this for 10, 20, 30 and even 40 years, some respect please. I don't think there is a single even close to classic performer this year. Correct? Whoever says Lenny Kravitz owes me a beer.
I am enjoying Judah and the Lion alot. Good show for the Restaurant Stage around lunch time.

This is good. We didn't even stick around for KOL.

Do with that info what you will.
Telling you I don't listen to the guy much at all but his show at ACL was at least entertaining and catchy. Good production for sure. He even did yonces drunk and in love lol. I'll be at his set at hangout as long as he's not against someone like miike snow, RTJ, big grams, flume ect...

The crowd of girls surrounding me at his ACL weekend 2 set were too busy dry humping each other to take a selfie.

Exactly I thought the couple in front of me was about to say fuck it and get down to business. They managed to tongue each other's faces the entire set. We made sure to thank them for the show before heading out. Ahh I remember my first roll.

I'm actually liking the concept of listening to the band backing Weekend as it reverbs to the Island Winds East pool better than actually sitting a mile back in the sand and hearing the same thing. Definitely closer to cheaper beer, munchies and anybody else of a like mind. Get all good and ready for the fireworks.

You mean the backing audio file?
The Weakends one song does have some killer bass loops on it tho. I think its the Hills....

What a dildo. A Michael Jackson comparison regarding his voice would've been acceptable. Calling him "the new Prince" is grounds for getting your ass kicked.
