A www cmon, your not going to tell me the only sound coming from Weakend is outta his MJ mouth. island Winds Pool is close enough to hit main stage with a baseball. Too early in the morning sound checks wake me up. I'm sure there will be some sorta "boom boom" at the pool...just no tent. Maybe some of you are onto something and the tent will be a bigger and better draw than headliner. New thread title Zen. "Hangout: Plenty of Options if Headliner Blows".
Def yay for the weekend. It's date night, live music on the mountain, few cold brews, nice.
personally Saturday of 2014 was my best day of the fest for any year. Saw a set at every time, only time i managed that. didnt even plan it out that way but walked to like 2 sets and they sounded good so i stayed, i know one was ALO but blanking on the other. Only thing that could have made it better was if OutKast headlined that night.
That was Modest Mouse > Flaming Lips > Killers, right? Big night for me, too. I think the only break I had was the ALO timeslot that day.
....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)
Oh yeah!! I did Ozomatli > Black Lips > Balkan Beat Box > Ingrid Michaelson > Dawes > Gary Clark Jr > QotSA > part of Black Keys
You know, thinking back to all of these, I very rarely stay for the entire headliner set, if I go at all. Makes me feel better about getting CHed and WEAKended.
Would need to look back at schedules to figure out which day or days were the best. We still have most of them lying around somewhere, and one day I'll get my top coupke of Hangout days. None are likely Top 5 festival days for me, but there have been more good ones than bad ones
Fuck Weaknd and fuck Chainsmokers. That's some bullshit. And I agree that Pretty Lights did not suck at all. Nor did STS9, who with Outkast, were my 3 headliners in 2014. I'm way more looking forward to Euphoria at this point, and they have only released a portion of their lineup.
Fuck "now" and fuck Goldenvoice.

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.
We will be there with ya Bob. Wife and I booked a room at Ocean Reef this year. Couple doors down from you I think. Not happy with the lineup. We have attended every year of the fest and may call it quits after this year. Disappointing.

I'm in IWW, which is between you and Bob. There are other inforoosters at Ocean Reef, too. If the WEAKend is unopposed, we plan on throwing a big party on the beach behind our condos. come on down!
And, I feel you. I'm afraid this might be my last HOMF. Sad panda.

A beach party sounds awesome. Put me down for a case of brew...dude.

As all you fux know, I'm not hating on Calvin like most are. I really can't explain why I like seeing him live since it's surrounded with almost everything I don't usually prefer (my friend). Maybe it's just a guilty pleasure in a way. Shows are big, loud and very pop. Some of the material can get annoying, but he is also a decent songwriter (Feel so close...) and very good producer. I saw him twice in 2013, and both shows were very good. The video, sound and effects production work was excellent and both shows were very, very loud. So it should all add up to a giant party on the beach regardless of whether they give him the Saturday night Surf closer or if they make it a main stage headliner set. If you know what it is going in (ala Jack U), it's probably not going to disappoint anyone for what it is.
So I guess Calvin is one of the least of my problems on the pop side of the schedule.
Hitting up the Abby Wambach final farewell match on Wed Night when the U.S. Women's team plays China in a friendly. I'm pretty jacked for this as I have never been to a national team soccer match. It's an early Christmas present from one of my people. I have that rock event excitement. \o/

Abby went to the "sister" high school of mine a year ahead of me. Have a good time. That should be fun.
1/17 Spafford 2/7 Greensky Bluegrass 3/17 Cool Cool Cool 3/28 Ekoostik Hookah 7/10 Jason Mraz 7/11 Chris Stapleton 7/12 Red Hot Chili Peppers 7/13 Buffalo Ska Fest
Didn't the daily schedule for coachella last year come out a few days before the fest? That would be terrible.
There are a few people in here from philly area and with a pretty big game this Sunday ,.....Go Bills!!
Man, we're in such a dumpster dive of a division right now. We got a lot of steam coming off that win over the Brady bunch but with this team, who the hell knows.
I think solidrock got five likes on his comment. I would double down that I could go with a repeat of any headliner instead of Weaknd or Caaafin. But, if I go to the festival, likely, and wind up drinking with you folks somewhere in the sand, probably won't matter who is on the stage.
Cmack...ZBB was better in 2010. For me some country (Chesney, Willie, OCMS, etc) > DJs, Weakend, Calvin, etc. Definitely instruments and good songwriters better than DJs and "oh, oh oh" or "m$&@er f(@'her" songwriters.
I would have been down with Disclosure because they incorporate instrumentals in some of their live shows.
While I dig disclosure and listen to them lot more often then CH. I had much more fun at the calvin show the year before then disclosure. They just stop and start a bunch and kinda kill the vibe each time. Show didnt really pick up til that last 20 mins.
