My crew is down to my son and I. It is getting more and more difficult to justify the vacation at Hangout week. Condo during Hangout is $436 vice $200 off peak. Not a chromeo fan. Got a bad feeling about pre-party. Maybe something good on preparty lineup will turn this trend around.
I thought y'all had like 6? People are making wise choices. You can always go to the beach, and yeah, you would prefer to do it under the auspices of surrounding the sunshine around a festival. But if you are being asked to Tag Your Bae, well that's out there. Only one girl I dated (before I got married so we're talking 1989/1990 era), ever used the term Bae/Bay. It was annoying then, but since she was my girlfriend, I put up with it. That doesn't mean I wanted to be a bay though. ------------------------------ krisplettuce
I'll let you know in March. I texted my daughter to see if she just wanted my ticket, and she asked me to give it 2 months. You have dibs after her and assuming I end up deciding not to go - else it hits Stubhub.
i feel you. my first fest wasnt until i was 23 and have done at least one yearly since. Honestly i knew little to nothing about music festivals prior to cmack moving to Austin and telling me about ACL back then, after that my eyes were opened.
I just saw on Facebook they are asking people who they are going to Hangout fest with and to tag their "bae."
I am so sorry for your loss and what your festival has become.
You act like this thing used to be ATP or something. It's always been just a big old beach party - now they're marketing it to the proper demographic to ensure its success.
Bae isn't testosterone driven enough for this crowd.

Remember how aggressively bad Bonnaroo's Facebook presence was 2-3 years ago? They posted a terrible picture of a bunch of topless girls in a "roo fashion" post and everyone started flaming the poor girls.

Not the point. It's simply a retarded term as it was 25 years ago - though I'm pretty sure you understand that. ... Is probably correct that they are now marketing to the perfect demographic from a corporate perspective. But that demographic was always just part of a larger mix of music lovers, jam heads and festival party people who went. I guess if the plan is to cycle the ticket base every 2 or 3 years and have new attendees consistently replacing out former attendees, it could work. They will have destroyed their loyal attendees which does make up a sizable chunk of their ticket buying population.
Idk I half expected chromeo. They tour so much all over the place and always hit lots of fests. Hangout just can't ever seen to book them. Smh. They would fit this lineup well imo.
Chromeo could still be an addition for you guys. They're booked for Red Rocks on June 2.
does this mean there's a chance for jamie xx as well?
Trying to look at the conversation of "which fan base to target," in order to sell tickets, the 18-24 should easily trump 25 and up.
Sure, they will lose a "loyal older" fan base, but it I think it is clear that there are enough 18+ with credit cards and a "no fucks given" attitude about budgeting to find their way to this festival and drop $500 on bullshit t shirts, expensive beer and pizza. I'm 28 and I distinctly remember growing up in Philadelphia that the #1 priority once summer rolled around was to get to the fucking beach. Half of my friends would pool their money together and drop 10-15 grand to rent out a fucking 3 bed room beach house in NJ for 3 months and drive back and forth on any day they possible. Those same people, at the near or over 30 age range, are too busy with kids, hitting up shitty bars or going to AA or whatever.
The point is....getting to the beach and raising hell is a less of a priority once you grow up. Our version of raising hell is much more of a controlled burn than the youthful blazing dumpster fire.
I remember the Outkast crowd being fucking lame as fuck, and watching multiple faded kids falling asleep while standing.
No, I'm pretty sure this makes my point pretty nicely.
Your point is presumptuous at best and perhaps pegs you as either someone who really cares about Hangout or sort of weak troll. I don't think one goes to the Hangout thread to find angry, testosterone laden hatred. I don't like this lineup because I find that it's overly pop. That's pretty simple and is also a point that has validity. Of course if you think you know better, go ahead and believe that.

maybe hangout moved on b/c all the regulars that go to HOF each year are content to see pretty lights, sts9, umphreys, wilco and FLIPS year over year. and it never fails they always complain about this or that anyways, so fuk em.

hahaha, you absolutely nailed me right here, can't even lie. You can add MMJ as well.
The conversation on the thread today is rather depressing for one of the older, alumni types. I can understand marketing, "new" and "now", but I hope they crash and burn on this change and decide to fire whoever they hired. Six really good, musically balanced, festivals and now everyone is hanging by a thread, talking about throwing in the towel. A drop and add of MMJ anywhere in this show would be HUGE!!!!
Hell of a lineup. I know the lineup is broken down by day but who would be the #1?
GnR
They got put on as an acl aftershow and it was def their best show. Theyll be back in february so ill see em again. Its definitely their most cohesive album.
