Matt and Kim will be the pre-party headliner. I know some people in here are down on them, but they put on a super fun show no matter what every time Ive seen them. I was happy to see them as the pre-party headliner. Sorry if that's not a popular opinion

id check them out for sure but have a feeling they'll conflict with either lil dicky or baauer show. i did think this video was great lmao
The older I get the more I agree with Bob. I used to love hip hop. Not as much now. I have never liked the DJ idea there aren't the flaws and mistakes that lead to new ways of bringing a song together (IMO). I have seen Calvin before and it was insane. DJs make for a fun (wasted) crowd. I would also prefer TTB at this point in my life. I love all music though. & Bob the first time I saw Ellie I thought what you did going into it and I thought she was amazing.
If I'm drinking/hanging with friends, I'd enjoy just about anything on the stage with a beat. The one caveat is being in the hot, bright sun.
Once I'm rolling into Gulf Shores on the 17th of May, the biznatching is over.
David Bowie documentary on MTV Live, formerly Palladia, tonight after Queen in Montreal. If it is as good as The Eagles documentary, wouldn't miss it/ dvr.

Ya man that video is great and so are their live shows. I'd definitely check them out if you get a chance
What other festivals are people doing? I'm from Western NY and I'm thinking of doing Osheaga this summer to see Radiohead. Just hope the rest of the lineup is good as well
So far, Buku Euphoria and Jazz Fest Jazz Fest. After that, we will see.
I've seen Matt & Kim twice. They're a lot of fun but I felt the shows were very identical. They use a lot of the same jokes and set-ups, gimmicks. This is fine but for me, I don't like seeing the same show twice. This isn't a knock against them. I feel the same way on 5th time seeing the Roots @ Wakarusa. They're sets are so similar that I can predict what comes up next. If they headline, Ill be there.
It's cool seeing some new posters here and their enthusiasm. We really gassed this place for a few months with our disdain for part of the line up. I'm really looking forward to it now but I am not looking forward to all of the conflicts I know are going to happen. I'm happy Courtney Barnett is @ Levitation so I can scratch her off.
Fest season is beginning in less than a month for me with SXSW. Then Euphoria, Levitation, Hangout, and then a long gap until Utopiafest then either ACL (if LCD Headlines) or Funfunfun(if At The Drive In headlines). More than pumped to kick it with Ken Sumar and krisplettuce at Euphoria. Might try and fit one more fest in but I think that may be all I can handle.
Still planning on hitting up Hangout at the Ocean Reef! We are only 5 hours away from Chicago so I would love to go try Lolla. Anyone ever been before or know when they usually release their lineup?

Ocean Reef crew represent! I put it in my sig so I remember.
Hey, how about Mayer Hawthorne? Seems a bi too boring for me and a friend at SXSW said his set was a snoozefest. He played AFTER Gary Clark JR and it killed the vibe. Might be a decent Slut Life Stafe though at 2pm.

Yea he's taking up space. Did people actually request his return?

Not me! Maybe the pre party was so boring that he kind of stood out. Am I missing any Ocean Reef folks? Me ne215 Krisp Zaj and Tater
I bet additions are this week or next week after the Grammys
They Added Sam Smith last year right after the Grammy's (I believe) but then he had to cancel. So, I bet there is at lease one more headliner add coming then.
I think we cam to the conclusion that Sam Smith was going to be billed lower, until he won the Grammys. At that point, they decided he'd better acclaimed as a "4th headliner."

Mayer Hawthorne was the warm up for The Word and put on a good show. Not spectacular. If a show puts you young bucks too sleep, I'm probably going to enjoy it. The power went out halfway through his show, so they might have given him a free pass for 2016. If you haven't seen him think Huey Lewis and the News want to be.

I know that Yall keep saying Sam smith wasn't a headliner but he was on the upward trajectory before the Grammys. Look at his placement on acl the october before. To me he was a better pick for that set then Jack johnson the year prior. If anything he was booked as the #4 but then got bumped to #2 after Grammy wins. Maybe we'll see this same for ms Howard...

Bring back the Jack ü!
Doesn't Ellie Goulding or The Weeknd 2016 = Sam Smith 2015 as far as level of booking? If so, then I think it is possible to still get a bigger name added. I guess I am just hoping for another good headliner to be added...even if it is the #4 slot.
So my girlfriend doesn't Inforoo, but she sees me on the site all the time and I tell her little stories about what goes on here every now and then. So this morning we're eating breakfast and she says "I had a dream last night that beachbob guy sold us his Hangout tickets for like 30 dollars!" I thought it was really funny and some of you guys may get a kick out of it

Hangout Festival - 17-24 May Bonnaroo - 9-12 June Riverbend Festival in Chattanooga - 11 June Heart, 12 June Trampled by Turtles/Firefall, 15 June Blackberry Smoke, 16 June Salt n Pepa/Umphreys McGee, 17 June Shovels and Rope/REO Speedwagon. Depending on Bonnaroo schedule, may not be able to make Heart and Trampled by Turtles/Firefall. Going with friends on day passes. A lot of holes to fill in the schedule at this point. Journey/Dave Mason - hoping for a Doobie Brothers add at 27 July Ascend Nashville
I'm doing Widespread Panic next Friday, then Beale Street, Hangout, Summer Camp, Forecastle, Loufest, and road tripping to Red Rocks for 2 nights of Umphrey's. I'm still on the fence about 'Roo. Oh, yeah, 2 nights in Chicago and 1 in Indy with Phish. If Forecastle and Dave in Indy don't conflict I might catch him. Lot's of medium to small shows blow through St. Louis in the summer, we usually catch a bunch of them in 500 - 1000 seat venues.
