I have no idea about anything about them except I know that they are a folk-indie band. But they have to be better than 60% of this lineup which already does suck.
What I would say is if you liked the Mumford & Sons, Of Monsters and Men, and Fleet Foxes folk revival, then you will probably like them. I thought their first album was pretty good, but if you look at Mumford's and Of Monsters and Men's new albums, there is no telling how crappy it could really get. It looks like judging from their single, their new album will sound close to their old stuff.
Ken Sumar with the way u dog this lineup, I'd be surprised if u'd approve of that add. Theyre fine, which is how I feel for the majority of these other acts. Certainly wouldnt upgrade it at all for me. Given ur general musical tastes, idk it'd surprise me if u'd like them.
Gotcha. I'll try to check them out at some point. A few here or there changes and/or 5 adds of people I might want to see would get me to Hangout. They've always had some different types of pop stuff (e.g. Tegan and Sara, Foster the People, Paramore, etc.). But you could skip those in favor of something either fun or musical if you didn't have any interest. 2016 is top heavy for pop, so it would end up being a lot of walking around for me and too many squished fish sandwiches on a bun. To be fair, there is a lot of on the fence stuff for me (Haim, Cage, Courtney Barnett, Foals, etc.), some of which would be no doubt good. But of things I really want to see or would go because I'm okay with what I know I'll get:
Florence - Seen parts of 2 sets Calvin - Seen Twice Shakes - Seen Once and heard once Big Grams - Have not seen yet Run the Jewels - Seen Twice Portugal. The Man - Seen Twice Moon Taxi - Seen 6 or 7 times (including as People of the Sun) Silversun Pickups - Seen Once The Wailers - Have not seen yet Vince Staples - Have not seen yet Raury - Seen Twice Snails - Seen Twice Allison Wonderland - Will have seen by then Health, Bully, Bass Drum of Death - Not seen these 3 yet but are more "probably would go see"
That leaves Big Grams (though I've seen Big Boi twice with Outkast, Phantogram a couple of times and then with Lips doing DSOM), Wailers and Vince Staples as the as the only must see acts for me that I haven't seen yet. Compare to the stuff I have no interest in seeing whatsoever, and that's really why I have been incessantly bitching about this lineup (and because I love the times I've had at Hangout).
Row 1: The Weeknd Row 2: Ellie Golding Row 4: Panic at the Disco, The Chainsmokers Row 5: Walk the Moon Row 7: Fetty Wap, The Neighborhood
So that's 1/3 of the first 21 acts that I absolutely DON'T want to see. There are other could go either ways and some I like but don't really care about (e.g. Lenny).
It just doesn't have that "worth the $1,000+ I'd spend" feel to me. I'd go to Okeechobee or Bonnaroo over this lineup and even Shaky Knees or Sweetwater Festival. One of these days i'll stop hating and just bow out. But since I haven't made a final decision, as close as I am to skipping, I still have a vested interest to complain - and certainly ask you guys about any proposed adds.
Ditto with folks I don't want to see on the lineup. I'm going, but it is for reasons other than the music. Unlike Ken Sumar, I don't live on the gulf coast. I will enjoy seeing friends.
Honestly Ken Sumar I'm with ya on the lineups you mentioned. I like Shaky Knees significantly more than this lineup. But I want to take a vaca to the gulf shores and party my ass off on the beach more than head down just for Shaky Knees. None of my friends would make that trip for that fest unfortunately. Some are going to Roo this year but I can't swing it and other than the top 3 it's the same sh*t that's everywhere this year. For me it'd have to be a catestrophically bad lineup which this isn't to me. It's def the worst top 6 of any year I've gone though 100%. But it's hard to get a bunch of 29-30year olds from Chicago to travel for a fest nowadays and the vaca party atmosphere gets my group going every year.

I hear you. I've spent enough time in Chicago to know that you guys freeze through the winter. So the idea of a beach vacation by May (shit, by March for that matter) is easy to understand. Because I'm only a bit less than 3 hours from the beach anyway (and because Pensacola is my second home), I am there pretty regularly. We went down to the beach in January the afternoon of Tool/Primus, and I'll be there next free weekend I have. So I fully understand the lure of some sunshine, bikinis, booze, partying, etc. Shit, I try to do it as often as I can. I'm just going to need more musical justification to attend and am hoping there is something(s) in the adds that will make a difference. And I'm not bailing on Hangout forever unless they continue down this path. I'm rooting for ticket or condo sales failure so they'll have to reevaluate what made Hangout so great in the first place. It wasn't broken, so even with the new corporate infrastructure, they didn't need to tinker with it. They just needed to keep their various pools within the attending population happy. That's pretty easy to do with 6 stages and a lot of genres to work with. It's just that they went sort of pop on steroids this year. If it's an anomaly year, I'll pay the $50 more to get early birds and return for sure in 2017.
Monday morning...time to start the countdown...87 days (7+31+30+19) til Thursday pre-party kick-off by my count and double check. Starting from the bottom of the pre-party and working my way to Weeknd...
SAMO SOUND BOY - aka Sam Griesemer, started out in NY and moved his show to LA. Has 6 EP and 2 Albums. Electronic Dance Music (EDM) seems to be the most commonly used classification for his music.
krisplettuce - I will give you an assist on the Monday lineup kick-off! After the lineup dropped, then the pre-party dropped, I have totally given up on seeing anything I would want to see on the ads. Lumineers would be amazingly good...but, hard to believe they would ad someone I liked. Replacing Weeknd with AC/DC would be justice served...I would love it. Heck, just shift him to the second row. My son would die for a Metallica or Coheed and Cambria ad. Please no Quaker and Oats. I was wondering why they cut their show off early in Nashville...Hall has terminal lyme disease. Heard it on an interview on AXS this morning.

Coheed and Cambria would be a great add. I can go for that...yeeess, yes can do...but not Ball and Scrotes.
I enjoyed Hall and Oates in the 80s, enjoy Daryl's Place, went to see them in Nashville, would prefer to see someone else at the beach. I saw Cheap Trick 30 years ago at Club LaVela in PCB. Drank a lot of SOB and other crazy stuff and had a blast. If they want to put someone like the B52s, Doobies, Foreigner, or Cheap Trick that put on a fun, upbeat, show, on the Palladia stage as closers, I'm all in. It seems like they got plenty of pop stuff and EDM. Throw us classics a bone or two please.
There are soooo many Hangout alumni bands I would love to see as adds, including Coheed and Cambria, Colin Lake, Dugas, Los Colognes, Delta Rae, Gary Clark Jr, OCMS, Others?

Good catch. Coheed was 2012 (I think) and a decent show. I'd take some reruns if they were excellent. Big G, Chris Cornell or Cheese instantly doubles the draw for me. So I'd say it depends.

Not sure if it's a troll job by Shakey Beats but I googled Hangout Music Festival 2016 and their sponsored link is at the top and bottom of every page.
Really wish that we can get a few names off the Shakey Beats lineup tho....

in other news, the Beale Street thread has overtaken this one as the most entertaining. There's a dude over there throwing a hissy because the acts are too "liberal," whatever the hell that means. There's another dude demanding that the festival book more "rock" bands, and offering to find and fight anyone who disagrees. What a shitstorm!
