Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Agree. There has always been a big crowd of old hippie/parrot heads who can afford condos and bring a crew. I don't think going urban Disney is going to win out over the peanut butter spread from first six years. Again.. My opinion and only time will tell.
edit...if Calvin and Weeknd were not top liners, and you had a Coldplay and classic like Heart to go with Flo, and Calvin and Weend as Surf closers, this would have sold more tickets. It just seems they ditched anyone who was name recognizable in the 40 and older crowd as a headliner. Cheap?
It's always a 'young' crowd but the ratio of people over 30 still had a footprint. This year, it will most likely be a sliver of the crowd. I will take a replay of 2013 when the capacity wasn't even close to being full.
Someone might have the skills to post a map here. Google "Hangout Restaurant, Gulf Shores, AL. It is where Hwy 59 and beach intersect. Nice stage, not tiny, not huge. I like it because there are a dozen or so tables with a view, good food, to chill and watch a show.
I'm sure I'll get into something crazy. Big Freedia was unforgettable. Chris Cornell at sunset was unforgettable. Front row for Tom Petty unforgettable. And OCMS in my condo...freaking crazy. Miike Snow will likely be the odd but remarkable show this year. Or Flo with the Inforoo crew.

Hangout Music Festival started with the folks who run the restaurant. Beach themed restaurant one of the biggest interesections in Gulf Shores. Located at city beach access. Shrimp festival held in parking lot here. Restaurant is open 365 days a year and live music on weekends. During festival, it is an oasis of better than truck food, nice waitresses, cold alcoholic beverages, and a stage that hosts some of the better festival performers.

I for one love the restaurant stage. Our crew used it as a meeting place after and before shows. Used the bathroom, got a drink, onto the next show. Being in VIP this year, we are going to miss Dusty slanging them drinks!
I was tempted to make my list 1-10 with just Flo, but I'll give it a try.
Definitely subject to change - I'm just now listening to some of these bands, and there are several I haven't even heard yet! Hangout has definitely made me more musically rounded.
1. Flo 2. Ellie 3. Kaleo 4. Jason Isbell 5. Revivalists 6.Calvin 7. Haim 8. Nahko and medicine for the people 9. Panic at the disco 10.Jack Novak
Like I said - by the time May gets here, this could be very different. I still need to warm up to Foals/Moon Taxi/Flume/Judah & the Lion.

I love the slut life stage, however as far as food, I've had some pretty damn good festival food at hangout from everywhere including that wing truck. I do miss the air conditioned gulf seafood tent with screens showing performances though, that place was clutch in the middle of the day to grab a beer and cool down for twenty.
Definitely liked all air conditioned, cooled, etc., facilities at Hangout. The Alabama Seafood indoor tent was awesome. Thumbs up for more of these as bars, eateries, etc. I like to cook so buy fresh at local markets and do the condo chef thing. I trust what I cook to keep me healthy for the show. The Pizza Hut bbq pizza was pretty nasty. Beware folks pushing new things to eat.

Hard to nail it down to just ten:
1. Cage the ele 2. Flo 3 . Alabama 4. Flume 5. Big grams 6. Miike snow ( galantis fingers crossed) 7. Calvin 8. Leon 9. RTJ 10. Portugal the man 11. The entire pre party
It didn't seem very crowded last year but I liked that. It was super easy to get around but still full enough to have a good fun crowd vibe. I too would like more of a genre mix and more rock and roll based acts, but I am going to Shaky Knees the weekend before to get my rock fix. But I have to admit, the more I explore the mid and lower lineup the more I am finding that I like.
Yeah, they didn't even pretend to sell out last year like they did in '13. There were nowhere near as many people as 2014.
This week the Happy Friday! staff was inspired by cmack's travel adventure to the northern parts. This song is the all-timer of such adventures. (a great one to raise a glass and stomp to as well!)

So just a fun question to help us pass the time. If yall could swap out any three names on our poster for an identically seated act from another festival who would it be and why?
Example: I would replace the weeknd (HOF #1) with kanye west (gov ball #1) BC ive never seen kanye and I'm fresh off a weeknd performance at acl.

Weekend for Radiohead Calvin for Arcade Fire Flo for Chemical Brothers
I basically need to sell my Hangout passes and go to NOS Alive in Portugal.
Edit: Do yourself a favor and do not look at that lineup, and then the price for hotel packages, and flights, and call your S.O. to see if you should just go.
...Weaknd, Calvin, Ellie out PJ, Dead&Co, Tame Impala in.
Take it your going by roo lineup. would have to swap with flume for tame impala to come so Ellie would still be there unless there another lineup with tame listed #5

Why would you want Ellie in it? Does she sing a special song between you and your old lady or something? Everything I've ever seen her do flat out f'n sucked. Occasionally she's remixed by a DJ or band and it comes out sounding okay. But her stuff is as weak as N'Sync and such were in their day. Ouch.
I'd replace the entire lineup with a repeat of 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015. That makes it easy.
for those that have spent the week down there...when do the stages go up, how long does it take and how loud is it(if you've stayed close)?
I think they start going up on Monday or Tuesday. Cant imagine it would disturb you if you were in any of the surrounding condos. Here is a link to a webcam at the Pink Pony where you can watch them set up the week of.link
Out - Weeknd, Calvin, Ellie...In - Kansas, Boz Scaggs, Tedeschi Trucks Band.
Edit - MMJ blew me away last year. Hope they headline main stage 2017. I'm with Esteban on replacing 2016 with any of those previous years. Also Robert Plant and Spaceshifters would be cool on the beach.

I had a crew dude stay with me a couple years. Pretty sure they start the road closures Wednesday. Site work as early as Sunday, big stages Tuesday and Wednesday. Didn't notice any noise til Thursday and Friday morning sound checks. I stay closest condo to the main stage so would notice.
I think I found a house sitter and parents seem to be better so crossing my fingers I'll be there with son on Tuesday afternoon.
