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.
Hey now ... Walk the Moon doesn't deserve to be on that list. I've been following them for four years and though Shut Up + Dance has undeniably become annoying, they are insane performers. I've seen them six times, and it doesn't get old. Also, if you look at their entire body of material (I highly suggest looking back at older tracks such as "I Want! I Want!", "Blue Dress", "Drunk in the Woods" or "Fixin"), there's a lot of good stuff there. The pop appeal of one track from their new album doesn't discredit them as a whole. I will admit though, their fan base is becoming more and more plagued by fan girls which would make their shows unbearable if it weren't for the fact that their performances are stellar.
All that in mind, I'm still not really a fan of the lineup as a whole. Just felt the need to defend a band that I've long supported lol.

i like Walk the Moons early tracks, enjoyed their set at Made In America '13 too. Just not sure I can deal with the crowd they will attract at Hangout. If there is no conflict I will likely catch it from the back

That's fair. I wasn't going off of anything recent. It was more clips of live performances in the past. It seemed like song-friendly/song-oriented pop to me. Since you've seen them 6 times, I'll take your word that they are good live (in person). I didn't come off thinking they were boy band-ish, but it seemed like a pop formula to me. I'll give the 4 songs you recommended a listen.
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.
In other words...looking forward to Cmack providing copious margaritas. We were planning a pool party behind the stage at Island Winds East pool. If we are going to go "fool" at the front of the stage, then calling all Inforooers. I think I could still "cut loose" to I Can't Feel My Face....but, I would probably hate myself in the morning. LOL.

Let it be known that WTM plays Roo that I will head up organizing a group of totally dope people to take on a potentially annoying crowd at their set (though honestly the nature of Roo tends to deflect excess amounts of fan girls more so than may fests like Hangout or ACL)

Haha "totally dope people" don't listen to walk the moon.
They're incredible. We got them to come play a small barn/house show last year while they were in the area and they blew my mind. Tons of talent and energy.
Also, to any Austinites, if you see them on tour, come visit me at merch!

Whatever you say. If you can't admit this is a fantastic Talking Heads cover then I'm out. (TH is one of their main influences)

Judah and the Lion = my favorite Hangout 2016 lineup discovery. They would follow OCMS, Jason Isbell, Delta Rae and Amos Lee as in first time live at Hangout and can't get enough of them now. Purchased their EP on iTunes and wearing it out.
Walk the Moon = agree one talking heads cover does not a good band make. Seem like a fun cover band I might hear in a bar, but their original stuff is meh for me. If none of the 10-20 bands I really want to see are playing...I'll give them a listen. Kind of in the same boat with Calvin and Weaknd for me.
For the record, at no point have I tried saying that Walk the Moon is the greatest band in the universe. All I've really done is say they deserve more credit than they were getting from a couple posts/said they were good performers. I'm definitely not expecting yall to like them as much as I do lol. I'd say beachbob''s take is about right. See them if there's not any conflict with someone whose already on your radar.
As for Judah, DEFINITELY see them. Fair warning though, fan base consists of a lot of fan girls similar to WTM so you'll want a good group with you. It'll be worth it though.

Saw Walk the Moon last year as part of a local radio station "Christmas Kerfuffle". They were pretty decent. Amazing energy and looked like they were loving playing for the crowd.
I would also take a Matt and Kim addition. They quacking kill it every time I see them.

Word on the street is the pre-party headliner is going to be an all-star collaboration from the hosts of The Voice doing a tribute to the greatest pop hits of the last decade
