A new trend in festival security is open packs of cigs though.
What if your a light smoker and only go through a pack all weekend. They are telling patrons to buy more tobacco so they can bring in an unopened pack each day. Really starting to get obnoxious on some of these rules.
I like how on the Lock'n VIP list, they include 'hassle-free' line. I like that
Buku enforced (also uses Fess Security), but Hangout only ever sniffed my open pack. And that was 2012.
I really really hope it doesn't sell out this year. Look back at the years that sold out, use that as a barometer for how to build a f*ckin lineup.
As a local, I always hope it does but the days of an eclectic lineup are over. The best we can hope is that it at least can mirror coachella for excitement based on must see acts.

Bring back mfn Huka.
AEG vs Livenation man. The byproducts of corporate consolidation in the live music industry is vomit-inducing from a fan's standpoint.
It's my favorite fest so I do want it to do well but this was a pretty dramatic shift this year and I'd like them to see that it's not going to cause this fest to boom the way they anticipated. I'm not expecting a 2011 lineup ever again. But I don't see why 2014 has to feel so distant as well. That had some mainstream appeal edm like zedd and pretty lights but they didnt take up top 3 slots. Factor in acts like Flaming Lips, Queens, STS9, and Bloody Beetroots that just feel so off the radar right now, and it just has me worried. Fests have years like this where they try new stuff so I'm not giving up hope but I'd think they'd get the hint.
Still trying to figure out lodging for the festival. Some doucher stole my condo from last year and the majority of the places I'm finding now are nearly double what I paid last year.

check out poole and associates. They had quite a few rentals on the west side. Our regular condo was sold from a private renter to an owner that uses them now. Outside the big RE companies.
Rihanna was absolutely pointless in that cameo for Calvin. Well that sucked any fun air I may had for CH. Hopefully, something fun in the tent like Foals or Moon Taxi.
#32 Courtney Barnett - "Courtney Melba Barnett (born 3 November 1987) is a singer-songwriter and guitarist from Melbourne, Australia. Known for her witty, rambling lyrics and deadpan singing style, she attracted attention with the release of her debut EP, I've Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris. International interest from the UK and North American music press came with the release of The Double EP: A Sea Split Peas in October 2013. At her well-received performances at the CMJ Music Marathon, Barnett was mentioned by both Rolling Stone and The New York Times as a standout performer.
Barnett’s debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit, was released on 23 March 2015 to widespread critical acclaim. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015 she won four awards from eight nominations. She was nominated for Best New Artist at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards and for International Female Solo Artist at the 2016 Brit Awards." WIKI

Ouch is right. Calvin Harris did not work as a headliner. . . . Not sure what Hangout was thinking there.
I thought I heard CH drew the biggest crowd of the weekend. That's the reason they booked him. Take consequence of sound and pitchfork with a grain of salt. Total music snobbery. Pop is certainly not my favourite as it doesn't push any boundaries or make people think, but the fact that pop is inherently catchy is alright with me. I just wish ppl had more balance and enjoyed a broader scope of music. Seems like most people choose to define themselves by a genre instead of just enjoying all life has to offer. This is the problem I have with the lineup this year. A little pop is fine, but 95% doesn't expand my mind or push my boundaries in any way.

According to CoS. I went to bed, but I heard it was "okay." It was also possibly one of the largest crowds in Coachella history, so while it may have been run of the mill pop bullshit, I'm sure it wasn't hated by the fans as much as the critics. Just the same, I don't want to see Calvin spinning other people's Top 40 crap. If he wants to play more of his own stuff, fine. But he will play to a massive crowd at Hangout, and no doubt, thousands will be into it. He can do better.
Id love for walk the moon to fall off and be replaced with galantis lmao..
Too bad they're only canceling july+aug.
Walk the Moon will be fun, but I wouldn't skip anyone to see em. There are definitely other acts I'd like to see fall off. Sans Fetty, bring on Ice Cube.

I am definitley up for Courtney....I dug her Coachella set. Loose and sloppy will be great on the beach.

Although, I will say - as someone who does like a lot of radio music...This Hangout has definitely pushed my boundaries. I have found new bands that I've never heard of that I absolutely adore (Foals, Kaleo, Grimes, HAIM) that I wouldn't have known about otherwise.
Still- I DO like radio, I DO like pop, and bless it, I like Ellie. I don't apologize for my music taste and I don't expect anyone else too, either. Sometimes I feel like people spurn pop music just to sound cool or be different. I do agree that the Hangout lineup could've definitely used some diversity.
The problem comes in when you limit yourself to only listening to a certain type of music, or performer...for whatever reason. Living in Mississippi, our musical sphere is pretty much country and pop radio - it takes effort to get out and explore other bands and genres. I didn't realize how narrow my music taste was - and I'm thankful to get pushed out of my comfort zone by Hangout (and by y'all).

I would agree that is sort of the way it fits for hipsters. For me (and my middle brother), we had a commercial, older sister that blasted pop non-stop. I was off the pop train by 9th Grade. I had musician friends, and what they were listening to was way better than Journey, The Cars, etc. - or much worse, endless repeats of Olivia Newton John solo or Grease Soundtrack or Saturday Night Fever or whatever my sister was playing. I actually feel the opposite of this Hangout. While there are some decent acts at Hangout for sure, I've seen almost everything I would want to see at least once with 2 or 3 exceptions. So it ended up pushing me away rather than pushing the boundaries. But I still hope you and everyone else has a ball.
FWIW, Grimes wasn't that good at Coachella at all. Maybe you and everyone else will give that act a second chance. I switched to it several times just to turn it off. sparkysarah put up the face for that show. The face was warranted.
Ken Sumar - Having musician friends surely helped you broaden your horizons. I totally understand how you feel about Hangout - you obviously have a lot of musical knowledge (much more than me), and I can see how the lineup would be disappointing to you. I hope that next year is better for everyone.
