OK, so there are some "must see" performers in the rock genre. I am a folk-songwriter-Americana fan and really like some of the performers in that genre on the lineup. Definitely Jason Isbell. Then there are some new and interesting performers to check out like Brett Dennan, Half Moon Run, Judah and the Lion (Tennesseans I believe), Nahko and Medicine for the People, and The Revivalists.
I wont miss Moon Taxi this time around.
I saw a clip of Alessia Cara on someone's late night show and I was really impressed. Not sure how that soft voice will work on a beach stage, but, I'll give her a listen. Anyone see her live? My son is a huge Miike Snow fan so I'll be in that crowd. Definitely Leon Bridges. The two reggae bands will be on the top of my list. Just something about reggae on the beach underneath the palm trees makes me look forward to another Hangout.

Don't miss Revivalists or Leon Bridges, both put on an amazing show.
Revivalists are awesome. They were my fav show of the year. I will be on the rail for that one. Can't wait for Leon Brides either, love his album and I'm going to skip his show here in March so je beach can be he first time I see him
i know it sucks we got Weakend'd but I am now thankful we didnt get Macklemore'd after hearing his awful new single. I would much rather listen to anything by the Weakend on repeat than that garbage he released.
Spoken like a true meatball. Hell will freeze over before I like weaknddddd. Rather listen to Bing Crosby or Porter Waggoner. Looking forward to the adults only pool party at IWE or beach.
Have you seen the video? While it makes it a little more tolerable, it still is a terrible fucking song. I'm trying to like it but it really hurts my ears, especially that chorus.

Here's an honest question. If you all hate this lineup so much...why not go to a different festival? You could go to the beach some other time, you know, as like a separate trip. You don't HAVE to combine the two things.
Here's an honest question. Why do you care?
Honest answer: I like the line-up all the way up until the top 2 lines aside from Florence who I am thrilled about. Those of us that "hate" the line up have already stated they're not going or are really, really on the fence (Estaban, Sarah). At this point, we are all just like ADHD teenagers stuck in gym during a blizzard bashing our heads together until they drop the Pre-Party line-up. On occasion, we drop a random joke or insult directed towards the Weeknd of Lenny "Loose Pants" Kravitz.

I don't hate it that much at all. Hate The Weeknd as a #1 but whatever there's eeasily enough on this lineup for me. I'll be hitting up other fests too though. Riot Fest for sure, looking into either Voodoo or ACL later in the year.

i dont think any of us hate the line up just hate that top 6 with the exception of Flo. After you get past that I got like 20+ acts I want to see. I live on the east coast so i have plenty of beach options within an hour and a half to 2 hours from me anyway. Ill be at 1-2 other fests too
I kind of hate it. There are acts I've seen multiple times and will see again probably more times (Florence, Calvin, Run the Jewels, Portugal, Moon Taxi, Silversun, etc.). And there are lower card acts I'd be willing to check out. Otherwise, it's pretty lame. Consider: The Weeknd, Ellie Goulding, Panic at the Disco, Walk the Moon, The Chainsmokers, Fetty Wap, The Neighbourhood, etc. Those are more on the upper-mid lines which I think says it all. Yeah, they still have Vince Staples, Snails, Big Grams, etc. which I will go to if I go. But I'm fading on this lineup more and more. It pretty much sucks overall.
agree Calvin has arguably less business being there but I have enjoyed his set in the past and like some of his music compared to not liking any of the Weakends outside of 1 song and I dont even really like that cant feel my face song its just a catchy sound
I really don't mind the top 6. Def. Prefer it over some other years.
???
2015 - Foo Fighters, Zac Brown Band, Beck, Skrillex, My Morning Jacket, Foster the People (don't like Foster and don't care about Zac Brown Band) = Not better than 2015
2014 - The Black Keys, The Killers, Outkast, Jack Johnson, Queens of the Stone Age, Pretty Lights (don't really care about Killers or Jack Johnson) but not better than 2014
2013 - Tom Petty, Stevie Wonder, Kings of Leon, Trey Anastasio Band, The Shins, Bassnectar = Not better than 2013
2012 - Dave Matthews Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack White, String Cheese Incident x 2, Wilco, Skrillex (6 should have been Lips Doing DSOM) = Not better than 2012
2011 - Paul Simon, Foo Fighters, Widespread Panic, The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket, Flaming Lips = Not better than 2011
2010 - Trey Anastasio & TAB, Zac Brown Band, John Legend, Ben Harper & Relentless, The Black Crowes, Allison Krause & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas = Not better than 2011
For sure I have missed more headliners at Hangout than any other fest. I usually go to an alternative show (e.g. STS9 over The Killers) or just back to a condo party if there is something I don't care about (e.g. Kings of Leon). But I don't see how the current Top 6, besides for popular relevance which is meaningless to me, rates ahead of any of the other years' Top 6s.
...Calvin...
He is an okay songwriter, and his shows are usually pretty good despite the overindulgence in pop. At Hangout, it would make for a decent Saturday Surf Stage closer. If it's on the main stage, that's pretty weak for this size festival - but it's a sign of what they are doing for 2016. I'd take a repeat Calvin set over a note or bar from a song by The Weeknd. I just don't find anything redeeming whatsoever. It's great for people who like pop R&B, younger teenagers and pop music fans. I don't fall into any of those categories and have no interest. I've tried several times to watch live footage, and it does nothing for me. Great for anyone else who listens to him I guess.

Not hating Hangout and will probably enjoy my seventh festival in May 2016. Agree with my Hangout brethren that the top of the lineup could have been better. Put Calvin, Flo and Weakend down the lineup and add The Cure, Tool, and the Doobie Brothers across the top and I would have been all in. As it is, the 30-40 performers I found between the top and bottom are definitely worth a $200 ticket. Add in all the festival extras and the couple days on either side on the beach, my friends and parties, pool time, seafood, etc....life is good. Hope some of the performers that Krisp, Sarah, Esteban and I have mentioned will make it into the pre-party, but not holding me breath. Dumpstaphunk, Tedeschi-Trucks, the Nevilles, The O'Jays, Dr John, Jimmie Vaughn, Sturgill Simpson, Vintage Trouble, Tame Impala, Royal Southern Brotherhood and others would be an awesome add to a pre-party. Maybe even shift some folks from current lineup to pre-party.
Headliners....everyone is not going to agree on headliners. Not sure Hangout can pull in the MACCAs and Pearl Jams without sabotaging the middle of the card. For 6 years, I thought Hangout balanced rock, alternative, R&B, etc., pretty well. We all held our collective breath over the GV/Coachella change. Now we know. I do not like the shift to the "new" and "now". Kinda like exchanging bacon and eggs for fruity pebbles. I'll keep an open mind, check this one out, and if still having a good time, I'll pick up a couple alumni 2017 tickets and rent the condo again.
Really like The Avett Brothers new live release...excellent!

I hope at least one of you gets beachbob margarita drunk, makes sure he is at that Weeknd set, and gets footage of him cutting loose without a care to I Can't Feel My Face.
