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.
For sure, it definitely helped open me up to things I would have never heard of. And then there was WTUL (Tulane University) that was a progressive channel. They'd play stuff like Rush's La Villa Strangiato, Yes' Close to the Edge and whatever the DJ's wanted to play even during the daytime. So it was always pretty cool just to tune in and hear something that rock radio was too afraid to play. But I'm also pretty diverse. I love rock, jam, rap, some electronica, live & jamtronica, bluegrass, metal, hardcore, etc. So I'm pretty easy to please. I've had a great 4 year run with Hangout, and I hope next year that alongside the big "now" acts, they don't forget to sweeten the pot a little more than they did this year. I'll be out Alumni Tickets, but I'm willing to return for $250 or whatever if they can get the lineup right. If they insist on continuing the destruction of what built Hangout, then I'll just forget about it. I hate to be in that boat, because it's the closest rock festival to me outside of New Orleans and makes for an easy trip.
@zaj Disclosure I tried to watch a few minutes on the Coachella stream, and I found it a little suspect. I have heard some stuff in the past that I liked, so it might have been the couple of times I clicked over. Plus people I respect seem to love them. So I'll definitely give them another opportunity.
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
You read that wrong bud. Unopened packs are NOT allowed. It's not the you must bring in unopened packs only.
In review: Sunscreen - allowed in all forms Cigs - allowed, but pack must be open for entry E-cigs - only pre-filled (blue, njoy, square, etc) allowed - no refill vape pens
WTF?!?! Why would they care if your packs were unopened? Good Lord that's insane and files in the face of what other festivals are doing. Did everyone recently decide to buy cellophane shrink wrap with the proper gold "open here" tabs? LMFAO. It's like the council must have gone out of their way to force this requirement. Dumb ass mfs'.

I dont know on the cigs. It says under what to leave at home, 'unsealed cigarette, tampons, gum (?, wtf), and chapstick/lip gloss' .
So sealed packs would be good to bring into the fest.

You are completely right, I can't read at all. My bad, deleting my post in shame.
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).
Preach, sista! Musically inclined friends in high school/college and festivals have been the saving grace for me actually being cultured.
anyone else having trouble registering their wristbands? My brother has tried using his email and password (even requesting a changing of his password) and it isn't working. Mine worked fine when I log on using my FB profile....just wondering. I emailed HOF but they haven't replied yet.

Southern Illinois is a cultural wasteland, as well. I'm a musician and I travel to fests with my sons, so between the two I've managed to stay exposed to diverse stuff. I never even hear pop radio, so I'll admit that about 75% of this lineup is new to me, but I'm still psyched for the beach. I'll get my music fix the next week at Summer Camp.

I saw on FB that someone said they were also having trouble.
I haven't tried mine yet - but I will bc now I'm nervous!! Let us know what you find out.

Folks, Hangout, pop or not, is getting close! Sold my wristbands yesterday which was sad, but got friends going to Bonnaroo and will have to make that do. More EDM for you today. I am so glad I was born and raised during the classic rock era. Maybe you will say that about EDM when you get my age.

Seriously? I watched the first video - that looks like the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I could go down to any club downtown and see that on a Friday night. For partying it's fine - but I'm not gonna pay this kind of money to see that!

3Lau was a headliner on the Gronk cruise, can't forget about that.
I will try and catch some of his set if there isn't conflicts. Like most of the bands on the countdown. Sad to hear that your wristbands sold beachbob.
