RTJ is the #2 show for that weekend behind Florence and it's not even close. If they oppose each other I'll throw an absolute temper tantrum.
I've seen them twice, and they were both good shows. Why should we have to go to the 5th row to find a 2nd/3rd/4th best shows? I understand if it was Lotus or someone of that caliber. But look at the average acts (Shakes, Calvin, Lenny, Flume) and the many terrible ones (Weeknd, Panic at the Disco, Walk the Moon, Chainsmokers, Ellie Goulding) in lines 1-4. I know all those acts have their fans, but after Florence, I have to go to lines 5 and 6 to find the next shows I'm actually excited about seeing (Big Grams, RTJ, Portugal, Moon Taxi) - and I've seen all those performers multiple times (obviously Big Grams as Big Boi w/Outkast 2x and Phantogram a couple times). I'm still kicking around the idea of going since I have a ticket. But damn if this isn't nearly worthless. I read people on here talking themselves into certain shows, the beach environment, the vacation aspects and such. And that's fine. But Hangout is borderline SUCK this year. No way do I buy tickets knowing this would have been the lineup. And that's why I'm ditching alumni next year regardless of whether I go this year or not. I'm sinking further and further toward not going, but the fact that it hasn't sold out yet makes me skittish that I'll be able to get value off the tickets. Obviously I'd have fun if I went, but this is an incredibly low bar they have set for music fans. It's great for pop fans, and obviously they have a lot of recent music award winners. But I don't base what I listen to on what MTV, SiriusXM, the Grammys or whatever say I should listen to.
Haim, Cage, Grimes and Miike Snow should be worthwhile. I imagine if Lotus were billed, they'd be dropped somewhere on the 8th line even though they're musically better than 99% of the line-up and have a much more entertaining show. I know billing isn't about talent but it makes cringe sometimes.

Wrex - SXM has a decent Jam channel called.....wait for it....JAM ON. 90% of the time it is playing WSP, Phish, Trey and a good amount of Umph, Gary Clark, Tauk, Break Science ect. They have a segment where they play the 10 best live shows of the week. One evening they even replayed UM /w Lupe live at festival topic at hand.
Yeah, those 4 acts would all be ones I'd pass by. But it's still midcard level. I've seen Cage once, but it's too blurry to remember if I liked them much or not.

I like Jam On. I tend to listen to that station more than most of them when I have a rental with Sirius. I don't mind some of the rap channels, and occasionally I'll put on Electric Area if Pretty Lights The Hot Sh*t is on or whatever.
Sell me your alumni pass...
I'll let you know further down the line if it's available. I'll decide probably by Euphoria one way or the other and will hit you up.
I'm going and will be looking for two extra tix. It looks like a down year for a lot of festivals. Definitely going to Roo on a day pass. Ive got about 30 performers I want to see and they are worth an alum ticket. Taking three 26 year old with me so that should be fun.

How do I access the Hangout performer data?
Even with the "down" headliners in many cases, festival ticket sales are still at an all time bubble. Newport sold out in 10 minutes tops (it usually takes a couple days). Peach Fest early birds just sold out in 15 to 45 minutes when they usually last weeks. This is crazy and has to burst at some point one would think.

I don't know Moten33. If you have the money, the time, and love live music, a festival is an awesome thing. I see the festival trend growing vice slowing down. I do believe festivals appeal to the younger crowd who want three days out of the house where they can be Kids Gone Wild. The old folks are heading for the casinos and small auditoriums. I love all sorts of music so thumbs up on both ends of the spectrum and all in between.
I'd like to see the "numberes of likes" for the performers I want to see. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Hangout website? Do you think HOF uses that info to set stages?

yea bob, its right there on the HOF page under the lineup tab. if you mouse over the artist it should pop up with the number of likes or you can click each one and view their page where it'll also show.
i would like to hope they consider that when setting stages but sometimes i wonder if its also what type of music that artist is playing b/c i for sure thought lupe would of been on beach stage last year but was scheduled in the tent and he had waaaay more schedule adds then his vs.

Pretty slow around here. I have an 80 hour work week this week (Merry Christ ya filthy animals) so I need more to get by. Binge watch Firefly since im 12 years behind on that show.
Here's a live Grimes video. Tent or Palladia. I opted out on seeing her at FunFunFun to catch a close up of Jane's Addiction. She may fall by the wayside again if she gets billed against RTJ, Big Grimes, Miike Snow which seems very likely.
It'd be a completely diff demographic but I don't see how a top 3 like that wouldn't sell out. Zero chance for TOOL or NIN playing this fest but that would be one hell of a top 3.
Really Krispy...Frank or Jason? I am pretty sold out for Jason and that will be my favorite show of the weekend. One hell of a songwriter. His current band can rock so don't expect a whole set full of the twangy, deep stuff. Check this....
I will check out Grimes, Haim, Florence, and most if not all the ladies playing at Hangout. Pretty good lineup of chick singers.

Can you imagine the meltdowns on fubu?
"This is bullllshiitt!! I'm not spending my Dad's money on this crap! Where is Adele? Where are the pop superstars that don't write their own songs?!"

After checking out the entire lineup, I found 14/73 that I would see and only 6/14 that I've never seen. I'm going to miss the beach. But I can't do The Hangout POP Festival. It's not a down year, there are still a lot of good lineups that I'm liking. But I can't force myself to do this one.
