That's awesome that Grimes' in the tent now. It allows me to stay on that side of the fest- RTJ (Surf)--> Grimes (BBT)--> HAIM (Surf)--> Flume (BBT). As much sh*t as this lineup gets that's a nice little run right there, plus FLO right after that to close out the weekend.
While we're talking about the schedule, now that we all know what stages/times people are playing, what's everyone's top 5 shows now? Mine are a little different now when factoring in not just the act but how they're laid out in the schedule...
1.) Florence & The Machine (this was never gonna change) 2.) Foals (closing the tent is a game changer) 3.) Run The Jewels (never was gonna leave the top 3 but little more pumped for Foals now) 4.) The Revivalists (love that they're closing down the BMI on the beach at sunset w/ no bad conflict) 5.) HAIM (no conflicts at all for me, allows me to stay on that side of the beach to get to Flume quick too)
I'll bite (but cheat a little)...
1) Foals (now that they are closing the Boom Boom Tent and it is a night show....) 2) Bro Safari/RTJ/Fetty (counting that as one long show) 3) Cage the Elephant (saw them only for a few minutes once at Bonnaroo and they blew me away live) 4) Alabama Shakes 5) tie Florence/Courtney Barnett/Lenny K
1. Chainsmokers (if you doubt me watch their Ultra 16 set on YouTube 2. Vince staples 3. Florence (Voodoo set says it all. Excellent performer) 4. Leon bridges (wanted to see him forever) 5. Calvin Harris (not a big foals fan)
I feel like big grams is gonna stand out as the crappiest hip hop act at HoF (not including fetty) I really like big boi but he has just lacked crearivity since Outkast split. Plus I've watched some of their live performances and they just don't seem very energetic unlike rtj/vince.
Got good reports out of Okeechobee on the set. I'm not wild about them, and I do have the CD, but no way (EDIT TO SAY i JUST NOTICED YOUR NOT INCLUDING FETTY - HAHAHHA). Fetty is terrible. I boycotted him at Buku and would have zero interest. Also, Childish at Bonnaroo last year may have been the worst bigger name rap show I've ever seen. I realize he can be funny in interviews and sometimes on record. But the show was really crappy in my opinion unless you're a bigger R&B fan than I am. I like rap and hip hop, but unless it's Motown, Stax or something old school, R&B doesn't do anything for me.
You guys are reinforcing the reputation of this thread by having the Chainsmokers as your number one acts guys. Come on.
Agreed. Otherwise good posters who I agree with on lots of stuff. But I watched some of Coachella and couldn't keep it on. I had two TV's going, and I switched the volume to them a couple of times. Man, that was some weak sauce. The only thing worse was Louis the Child. If I was a 14 year old girl, I'd understand. If I liked pre-packaged house, sure. And you love some of that and you're saying it....

Yeah fetty is so bad I don't even like to include him in the "hip hop" crowd. Will be completely avoiding him.

I feel like y'all are misenterpreting my Chainsmokers at number 1. Normally I hate edm, can't listen to it casually, in fact the only time I've ever seen edm live is at hangout. But I am beyond pumped to see them live, looks like a straight party. Plus I'm wasted and I'm just gonna be all over the place. In terms of Level of talent it's 1. Leon 2. Flo 3. Shakes 4. Barnette 5. RTJ imo. Honorable mention is cage, foals, Vince and Lenny. Sadly I'm not going off of talent I'm going about how hype it will be, probably will regret that in 20 years but I'll be happy as of that weekend

Completely understand this way of thinking. Not exactly the way I'll be going about it but it's a damn vacation. Have fun anyway you want to.

Top 5.
I only wanted to select people I had never seen before.
1.Foals (after watching that down the rabbit hole set.. Holy shit. 2.Portugal the Man. (Was so excited to see them twice, first Hangout we had to leave for personal reasons during there set and at okeechobee I ended up falling asleep when I went back to my tent for a break.) 3.Run the Jewels 4. The Revivalists 5.Miike Snow
Florence is up there but my experience with Sunday night headliners is that I'm always so beat by then it's a struggle to enjoy it.

Top 5 For artist haven't seen yet!
1. Run the Jewels (one of my favorite hip acts in so long and missed twice already once at buku fest and then their Nola show sold out before getting tix and being able to make plans) 2. Big Grams (love the album. Honestly think it will be cool to have seem big grams and outkast both at hangout fest) 3. Leon Bridges (even tho I'll split with my favorite band cage the elephant he is someone I've been very excited to see) 4. Florence and the Machine. (Have heard from friends she puts on. Great performances) 5. Alabama Shakes (missed the first year I came to hangout in 2012 and missed them at the wharf this past summer too)

Random ? But did everyone who's purchased a pre party ticket already got the email to print it? My friend did today but I still haven't just wondering?

Haha. Agree with everyone else. Whatever floats your boat, have fun with it. I'm sure people would crack on me for having that attitude going into skirllex last year on Saturday night. And the show was a giant party. But alas, Skrillex > Chainsmokers.
1/17 Spafford 2/7 Greensky Bluegrass 3/17 Cool Cool Cool 3/28 Ekoostik Hookah 7/10 Jason Mraz 7/11 Chris Stapleton 7/12 Red Hot Chili Peppers 7/13 Buffalo Ska Fest
Also, anyone else here really not care about Panic? I feel like the only one who could care less and will be at miiike snow the entire time. Lastly wtf is Vince staples doing on the meremaid stage?? It's gonna be so crowded for that little stage! Leaving snails early to get a good spot bc Vince is gonna be sooooo good live. Voted one of the best coachella performances
I'd rather have lit cigarettes put out directly on my anus than watch one second of that Panic at the Disco set.
Wow, roo. Awesome visual, but you need to quit fancy prancing around the bush and tell us how you really feel.
