Hallelujah!!!!!! Sorry it had to be you Krisp...but, glad to see Longanus move along.
I have also spent some time in conversation with a couple OBA and GS council-persons and they are playing this pretty much as a wait and see. If the damage deposits get out of hand, protesters show up, or it just becomes anything but the sleepy little southern town, GV will be out on its ear in a heartbeat and the new promoters will be showcasing Brad Paisley, Bon Jovi, and Jimmy B on the beach. Hello gray haired mama. Enjoy the Summer Breakers why you can. I promise you the old folks got a lot more disposable cash than the youngsters.
And I'm a Gen X stuck in between your generations going "Hey! I like music and have disposable income! Look at me!"
The way companies pander to Boomers and Millennials while ignoring Xers will never cease to amaze me.
sparkysarah , want to share the love today. So you are between me and my son so I'm thinking 1995 was maybe high school and:

Class of 1996! :-)
I'd want to see Foos and Pumpkins. I'm really surprised Radiohead isn't on there.
I think my message was misconstrued. They don't want the Spring Breakers year round necessarily. They want to show off Gulf Shores that weekend so that those young people when they get older, develop careers and have kids want to come back on weekends other than Hangout. I'm sure some people will only read the word Weeknd in this paragraph though and lose their collective minds.

Yeah, but y'all are like white people in that you pretty much get everything on a silver platter anyway.
ZAJ128 and NE215, I apologize for rustling jimmies [lil] dickies. Please don't throw me away. Toss me in a salad one more time.
Longanus wants his salad tossed yall.
You set that one up yourself
I'm sure you've heard of low hangin' fruit, but that one was on the ground with a worm in it saying "hey cmack, it's me, the hangout worm...pst! You want this the rest of this apple? I ate through all the good parts of it and left a bunch of shit in there for you, but it shouldn't make you sick or anything. dig in, buddy!"

just bcuz you dislike the lineup doesnt mean its as bad as you like to make it out to be. I like the lineup overall, just not a fan of the top few lines.
I'm simply telling you why the city has allowed it. They are looking for young people who will eventually start families. Not saying old people don't travel I'm saying that's what they have vacationing their already. I am just expressing what I heard from a government official. That's why there is a shift in genre this year.
This just isn't true. I'm not saying that you didn't hear this, but it's not true. They brought in Goldenvoice and shifted the lineup to sell more tickets to the festival. And from what I've been told, it's working. There is absolutely no chance that the weeknd or calvin Harris dont play the main stage. Their production won't fit on the other stage and neither would the crowd. No more headliners are going to be added. Don't count on them doing the post Grammy announce this year. They got lucky last year with Sammy. When they booked him he wasn't going to be on the top line. That's what gave it the illusion of having an extra headliner. Also, Jack Johnson was not a real headliner of Bonnaroo. He was a last second fill in because of proximity. He would not have been billed a headliner if he played that year under normal circumstances. If you like the lineup as it is, then go, I'm sure you'll have a big time. I'm just not going based off of the lineup they've put out and it sucks that I have to give up my condo less than a mile away. I said in 2010 that I couldnt imagine not always going, but here we are. This will be the first one I've missed.

It's pretty bad, and I would add especially bad based on prior Hangout lineups. But it's subjective taste in the end. And when you say just because he doesn't like it doesn't mean it's as bad as he makes it out to be. But if he thinks it's really bad, then it is to him. You like the lineup overall, so to you it's not that bad. But to him it is. To me it probably isn't quite as bad as spoliedlettuce has it, but I still think it's bad. You won't think it's as bad as I do, and he will think it's worse. Others will have their opinions, and they are all valid. Therefore, it's as bad as he says it is.
no one wants to hear that noise though. those of us who like will go and those rthat dont wont. no need to bitch and troll every week over it
Some of it was setting the record straight though djjazzyjoe straightened the interview part out. spoiledlettuce can be snarky. He always has been. But he's one of the top posters on the site who knows and lives their shit and therefore has a trusted opinion. It's a fun thread on this board, so anyone remotely affiliated with Hangout, trolling, etc. will find a place to hurl in it. I know people want reassurances and positive thoughts. And there is some sporadic good stuff on the lineup along with some might be worth seeing acts. But half the time this shit writes itself. Hangout 2016 only helps the cause.
Hasn't Jack Johnson headlined many festivals including B'roo and Coachella? What is with the insistence that he's not a headliner? (....horse beaten, flogged, shot....)

He's just not a headliner for festivals of the size you mentioned anymore. That's all.

So there are no additions coming down the pipeline? Seems we are a little short of last year.
Thing I don't get with Sam Smith, if he was booked early and then blew up. Why not stick him on the second line? Since he already was closing the Chevy stage according to Sean O'Connell. If they booked him early enough, his price tag must not of been as high as a later booking.
Jackie boy headlined Firefly in 2014 but not sure hes been to active since then? Never thought of him as a headliner always mroe of a pre or stage closer like we had him at

I'm betting that there will be additions, just not a headliner and not too many of them. And you're right, I bet they saved a bunch of money on Sammy, though I don't know any of the contract specifics. If I was them and had someone win two arm fulls of Grammies, I'd have done the same thing as far as where to put them on the poster. I do wonder what the headliners thought of being bumped, cause that is always a part of the negotiations.
Edit: Sorry for the edits, my typing is terrible today.

...that was sooo long ago. Now he is headlining Kaboo, then it's straight to the casino circuit and beach bars.

He's even billed above Avett Bros and the Goo Goo Dolls, who have a really impressive resume (I'm from Buffalo, They are from Buffalo), at Kaboo. That Curious George soundtrack really boosted JJ's career......
