Yeah I'm fairly positive every opther major festival will smoke our lineup this year which is why we're all pretty much in the same boat for next year. No alumni ticks, see what the lineup brings, go from there. That being said I'm just thinking about Florence, Foals, RTJ, Big Grams, Health, Portugal, HAIM, and Cage to get me through these disheartening times.

Out with the old, in with the new, I guess. I never really considered going to Hangout. I wouldn't mind seeing Weeknd and Florence on the beach though.
Can we trade the Weeknd for literally anybody else? I remember reading somewhere that he charges as much as Macca to do a festival now. Fuck anybody who books the Weeknd when he's charging as much as one of the greatest artists to ever grace the planet.

There's ton of stuff on the lineup that makes me think "fuck yeah I'd love to see them" but I don't know if it's enough to justify the ticket/condo/travel expenses.
I guess I am the elder statesman on this thread so, be careful what you wish for. I am pretty sure my son and I will wind up at Hangout this year and will have a good time with whoever Inforoo friends decide to take the plunge. I will have fun....no doubt. To be near 60 and still hanging with whatever is trendy and fun, even if it is The Weeknd, is amazing.
I wish this was the week before as the beating up the lineup gets old and I'm ready to get on with it, but still got 4 more months to go. Only possible bright spots will be a pre-party that is close to the 2013 ($25) show, a schedule that does not create conflicts with the folks I want to see, and a schedule that puts all the kids at shows I do not want to see.
If you don't think the festival racket is going on steroids...look at the Moonstone in Orlando. Pretty soon Alice Cooper will parachute in and sit with you on one of the rides for $$$..wooo hooo!
Man yall are depressing. Hangout lineup is fine and I'm sure I get crussified here but I'd sorta prefer our top 6 over chellas but that's me...I have yet to see FLORENCE sept back when she was on the farm in 2011 I think but there was so many gd people we left. I think most hangouts I spend the headliner slot time in the boom boom tent anyways.
What fest was it that got you glum?
On facebook I noticed a bunch of BONNAROO wishlists with the weeknd listed. Suckerzzz.
It's not fine. It's fn below average unless you like bubblegum-pop with a few other decent acts thrown in. You're talking to other people who have gone to 3,4,5,6 or even 7 of their events. Almost everyone on this thread is complaining. If it was just one or two people, you could make the argument. I disagree with you on the other points, but those are subjective. Except promoting that Facebook Bonnaroo wishlists contain lots of "The Weeknd" requests only shows you what has happened to Bonnaroo. I made it a giant point to say how fratty it seemed last year compared to the other time I went 3 years earlier. The crowd was much younger, less hippy, and more right-of-passage/be seen and high five everyone.
You might like that, and that's okay. But it doesn't make it "fine." It's weak as fuck overall.
Everyone complaining is just a symptom of the age we live in. Anyone can stay home if the lineup is a stinker. Year 5 for me.
Also looking back on the years I skipped a lot of "HOF #1's" on the poster like DMB, Tom petty, foo fighters last year. Just like I didn't care for the #1 those years now's yalls year. Thus doth life.
This is real sloppy and I'm not breaking it down by time but this is how I'd like to see it (while keeping it realistic based on poster placement). Remember Hangout Stage acts run alongside Boom Boom acts and Palladia Stage Acts run along the same time as the Surf Stage acts:
HANGOUT STAGE
FRIDAY: Cage The Elephant--> The Weeknd
SATURDAY: Big Grams--> Calvin Harris
SUNDAY: HAIM--> Florence & The Machine
SURF STAGE
FRIDAY: Walk The Moon--> Alabama Shakes
SATURDAY: Leon Bridges--> Lenny Kravitz
SUNDAY: Panic! At The Disco--> Ellie Goulding
PALLADIA STAGE
FRIDAY: Courtney Barnett--> Foals
SATURDAY: Silversun Pickups--> Grimes
SUNDAY: Moon Taxi--> Jason Isbell
BOOM BOOM TENT
FRIDAY: The Chainsmokers--> Miike Snow
SATURDAY: Fetty Wap--> Run The Jewels
SUNDAY: Flume (ending early, Florence unopposed)
This is obviously missing other solid undercard acts but that'd take me too long. I'd go:
Friday: Courtney Barnett--> Cage The Elephant--> Foals--> Miike Snow
Saturday: Silversun Pickups--> Big Grams--> Grimes (leave early for a good spot for...)--> Run The Jewels
Sunday: Moon Taxi--> HAIM--> (Skip, would check out Isbell/Ellie but saving good spot for...)--> Florence & The Machine

It would be my 5th year as well. And I'm not that different considering I missed a lot of the headliners over the 4 years I've gone as well (DMB, Jack White by circumstance, Kings of Leon, Black Keys, Killers, Zac Brown Band). But it's more than that. Almost anything I might want to see (Calvin, Florence, Shakes, Cage, Run the Jewels, Portugal, Silversun, Snails, Raury, Moon Taxi, etc.) I've already seen at least once if not 2 or more times already. This leaves me with good recommendations or reasonable expectations of:
Lenny Kravitz - I'm okay with him, but it's not a draw Flume - Was better in the past Haim - Could be cool and will rock, but nothing eclectic Big Grams - I like the album enough (have seen all participants) Stick Figure (missed them at Waka due to conflict) Foals - May end up being decent Courtney Barnett - Should be okay Bro Safari - I don't like him personally, but he does bring some harder shit Thomas Jack - Have seen, he's okay and should fit in nice with a chill beach vibe Wailers Vince Staples Health Bully Bass Drum of Death Koa - Have already seen them
Is that worth $1000-$1500? There isn't a non-country, non cock-rock, non-EDM exlusive lineup I've seen that I like less. So it isn't really for me, though I'm not going to argue that I wouldn't have a good time and see a few new acts that I might enjoy. You're right below my daughter on the dibs list for my ticket at the moment. Like I said, I'm down to about 40% now. Thursday doesn't matter to me much since we drive in from Pensacola, and I wouldn't go unless I loved the lineup (sort of like last year which no one else apparently did). And the Malibu tent will probably add a few cool DJ's and a few I don't care about. One of my kids has already bailed. His buddy who has an alumni ticket sold his. I'm moving that way, and I'm not happy about it since I have spent some blowout days at Hangout. But if it's gotta be RIP and move on to something else, I can go out with all the great shit I've seen in the last 4 years (Chris Cornell, Cheese, RHCP, Lips doing DSOM and also their own sets, Dispatch, Steve Winwood, Moe., Randy Newman, Trey Anasasio Band, Slightly Stoopid, Black Crowes, Jim James Band, Big Gigantic, Galactic, Gov't Mule, My Morning Jacket, Sheep Dogs, Public Enemy, Stevie Wonder, Bassnectar, STS9, Pretty Lights, Bloody Beetroots, Portugal, Shorty, Beck, Foo Fighters, Umphrey's, Dirty Heads, TV on the Radio, GRiZ, Gramatik, Beats Antique, etc.). So it's been a good run, but this year is just soft.
I'm looking at it like zaj, though I'm less likely to go this year than he is. Regardless if I do or not, I will not buy alumni and will just wait for the lineup next year. If it continues down this path in the future, which most of us are pretty sure it will, I'll just write it off for good and remember the good times and good music they provided me for 4 years.
Sunday would be fun day. Might go fishing in the gulf on Friday. Too many performers not listed here that I want to see to make a decision. Looks like a couple evenings at the pool which is ok with me.

I'm confused sir. is hangout bad this year bc you've already seen the "good" acts there 2 times or B/c they don't have the same old acts from previous years you liked?
I swear a fest could make a killing if they had the same lineup every year.

Anyone listed you could prolly counter argue with someone from this years lineup. It's all subjective.
....and it seems clear that were people not already holding tix and/or have travel plans, there would be even less interest than there currently is on this board. I will give the HO credit though in that the lineup is distinct and focused, so the people who dig it will really dig it.

Idk this year I've had loads more people I know or meet show interest in hangout. I usually roll out with my fiancé and her sister some times mine rolls along too. This year we have a bunch of first timers wanting in on it and I've had to turn people away from staying with us bc our condo is already at max.
Also seem to remember people getting down on themselves last year about the lineup as well. Not wanting beck to headline or zbb.. Disliked Foster n paramore ect. Seems to be the same song and dance.
...big difference in bitching about particulars and going, and bitching about the whole lineup and not going.
this is my bar for this fest(any mid-tier), 4 acts a day I definitely want to see and 1 act a day I am really excited about....pretty low right?...not there.
I'm curious...Back when we were discussing the first album's we ever bought etc., I think I remember Krisp saying he didn't own any cd's. How does everyone on here consume music? I mostly still buy a cd, load it in iTunes/ipod and then have it in my car until i'm tired of it. Does this sound like practices from the dark ages?
I would like to personally thank The Hangout for helping to convince me to go to Coachella. Seeing you guys trying to convince yourselves that this fest, which you don't like the lineup to, is still worth going to gave me the inspiration I needed to put a good chunk of money into going to Coachella for a lineup that I personally love. So once again, sincerely, thank you all.

until recently i always illegally downloaded my music and occasionally bought an album on itunes. However, i bought a new phone and did the sync wrong for my music so when I attempted to add all my old music that i already downloaded (thousands of songs) i learned that apple no longer lets you add in bulk, only one song at a time and the process is much more inconvenient now. So I bought Apple Music bought gave it up after 3 weeks bcuz its awful and the majority of the music is edited, so now im on spotify premium.

I use apple music still. I've never come across any edited music though. I like apple music even more now with the new apple TV, having all my music, or any other music I want, just a siri request away is quite nice.

Looking at it as you have it broken down is not helping. I'm still going because we have our tickets and the same beach house, but I'm with the majority on here and will not buy alumni again. I have a feeling a lot of us will be at the same shows this year.

I used to buy CD but now I am all digital. I put music on my phone and use my phone for running, but I also stream spotify. The only radio I pay for is Sirius though. I do the free spotify/stream thing.
EDIT: I forgot, I buy vinyl. Some new, some from garage sales/thrift shops, but they have to be in primo condition for me to buy those. I used whittled down my boyfriends album collection before he moved in...there were some in really bad condition or unworthy of the move.

Spotify membership. Groove music pass. Sirius xm in the car. Most vinyls I buy include the digital album.
