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.
Lol same ol same ol that goes back to what I said if a promotoer just locked down umph, sts9 , flips and wilco people would buy a ticket every year. Prolly wath the same set too and be perfectly content. All I need is a investor. I'll call it rerun fest.
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 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.
That's surprising and great there's no noise. I thought there would be a lot of hammering on metal and trucks going in reverse...

Hangout House Bands...I'm in! Add Amos Lee, Warren Haynes, MMJ and Jason Isbell!
solidrock if you are on the beach, drink in hand, it is all good. If you are trying to walk down Beach Blvd before the turn styles go up, it gets dicey. Usually walk up to the Hangout for Tuesday or Wednesday night pre-festival and the equipment crossing the road can be a hazard. Something about being at the beach kinda chills everybody out. Beach breeze, palm trees, margaritas, beautiful people, great food....hello!

so judging by most people swaps our major gripe with the fest this year is the headliners?
seems everyone is at peace with the rest of the card after the top 6. strange to me b/c i end up skipping a lot of hangout stage headliners for the tent most years with the exception on 2014.
so does that mean that all discontent about the entire lineup is based on 4 names toward the top?

Not for me. Weeknd is the only headliner I hate. For me it's the majority of the sugar coated bullshit across the rest of the lineup. As to the other assertion that they bring back the same people to keep people happy, that's not it at all. While I'll see many of the past performers at other festivals or when they come through town, I have no tolerance for mass-friendly pop be it R&B, rock, electronica or whatever. Point was that this lineup is so completely not for me that I'd rather a festival rerun to Hangout 2016. This well may be the worst lineup of any major or second tier festival I have ever bought a ticket for. If I was a high school girl who never looked around for other stuff and just ate what I was fed, it would be satisfactory. Since that's not the case, it's unsatisfactory. That bums me out too because I really enjoyed 2012-2015. The jig is up, and I won't purchase an alumni ticket for next year even though I doubt that lineup could get much worse.
Agree with esteban. The entire lineup is MOSTLY not to my tastes. I chose two headliners because, well.....Radiohead. And I'm a Deadhead and will see them as many times I can in a year regardless of venue. I could see if this was a shorter trip for me swapping out a headliner might make a difference but with the time, travel and costs almost every other lineup I look at is more exciting for me this year. That's not to say I hate everything. I'm seeing Cage/Silversun/Foals. Not huge on any but that bill for $26 GA is insane. Like some of the undercard stuff. Would like to see Flo. Besides the timing of the baby, just not enough I like to drop $1500 when I could go to multiple fests and individual shows for that.
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
dittos....the hangout as a venue/experience is tops, but I can't think of a lineup release so far I wouldn't consider somewhere between a slight upgrade to a major upgrade.

Is it Lenny Kravitz? Just say it is Lenny Kravitz.

Calvin Harris for Disclosure or LCD The Weeknd for Arctic Monkeys (I'll take Pearl Jam too) The Struts for Catfish Kravitz for Last Shadow Puppets One of the many 80s sounding undercards for The Wombats Vince Staples for J.Cole or A$AP (only cuz I've already seen him) Grimes for Banks Stick Figure for The Green or J Boog
"It became corny and annoying as fuck, and my name was attached to that. I look at Kanye, who lives in that 24/7, and I can't imagine what kind of a person you must be to deal with that. Just getting the smallest little touch of that experience was too much for me. I totally see what Kurt Cobain must have felt like when it happened to him."
I feel like given AM's more mainstream success, they'd be a perfect fit for Hangout when they do in fact tour again. I'd gladly take them over a ton of headliners we've had too. I could go for a top line of Arcade Fire | Kendrick Lamar | Arctic Monkeys next year for sure.
aww i like stick figure anna and you gunna give em the axe
i already told my wife i'd shit the floor if j cole got added and she seemed fine w/ that.
for sure had a lot more fun at the Calvin show vs Disclosure and I happen to like disclosure more but it is what it is.
i agree arctic monkeys would rule and would be 1000x better then weeknd
I like stick figure too I just like those othe guys a little more. The Green especially. I'm amazed they haven't played hangout yet. They play everywhere constantly and I just want to see them on the damn beach where they're meant to play! I'm by no means hating on Calvin. I am ready to dance my face off. I just already saw him in Vegas and have yet to see the other two.
Out - The Weeknd In - Pearl Jam Out - Calvin Harris In - Chemical Brothers Out - Ellie Goulding In - Ice Cube Out - Panic! at the Disco In - Sufjan Stephens
Verrrrryyyyyy interesting. And I probably liked everybody you didn't in the past. But, we all liked Hangout til this year except krisplettuce seems to like the lineup or just a "get along" kinda guy. To have so much beach, vibe, etc., going for it, and spreading enough musical love in the past to make everyone happy, GV sure crapped on about twenty of us.
Agree Ken Sumar that I will wait til 2017 lineup before another early commit. I doubt ads will be worth consequence or them dumping Weeknd. I want to hang out with my son, Sarah, chick, Krispy, and other friends on the beach. Undercard+beach+condo on site+experience with festival=one more HOMF. Agree with most said last page, except don't know most of your ads, LOL. See ya there or be square.
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'm never there for the setup, but I stay for the tear down. Lots of banging and truck noises all night... The "beep, beep, beep" from trucks going in reverse. It isn't terrible, but you definitely can't sleep with the windows open.
90 Days til Hangout Friday. Thought we could start a count down. One performer/band a day. My current count is 80 performers. Moon Taxi counts twice since they are pre-party and also festival. Since some of us are going down early and we may get some additions, recommend we start this Monday morning. A lot of folks aren't on the board during the weekend so starting Monday makes sense. I'll kick it off by starting with the bottom of the pre-party lineup, Samo Sound Boy, and working our way to Weeknd. I know, rough start and finish, but there is some gold in between. All in?
