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.
Cheap Trick would be awesome at the beach! Doobies too...you're right Bob, give us old heads some love!!!
OK, Day two of the "get to know the Hangout lineup". 86 days til Thursday pre-party. And today we honor....
Big Freedia. I changed my Avatar in honor of the big one. The photo was taken at her 2012 show in the tent. "Freddie Ross is an American musician best known by the stage name Big Freedia (/ˈfriːdə/ free-də) and for work in the New Orleans genre of hip hop called bounce music. Freedia has been credited with helping popularize the genre, which was largely underground since developing in the early 1990s. In a 2013 interview with Out, she explained that although she will allow her fans to refer to her as either "he" or "she", "my preferred pronoun is she". " (Wiki)
Comments? I loved the show and would give it a BIG 10 on the entertainment scale. Stop, drop and roll!
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!
Krisp- I saw that comment on FB too and it made me LOL!
JD- I've been keeping an eye on the Beale St. thread too. Yikes.
Beachbob- Thank you so much for doing the countdown! It makes me so happy to log on everyday and see a new act (and I love the order since I'm OCD). I'm from Mississippi, so since there's a snowballs chance in Hell that I'll ever see her here, maybe I'll check her set out. Although, my booty shaking needs some work.
Hangout will continue to get the whiny asshole treatment from me on social media till they post something actually worth a damn. Not that they care but f*ck it, what else am I gonna do.
So we can officially say Lana is top 3 now after Osheaga's lineup drop. I think most assumed that but that's the first major fest I've seen bill her that high.
Hangout 2017:
Arcade Fire/Pearl Jam (wishful thinking) | Kendrick Lamar/Drake (I'd be shocked if we didn't get 1 of them) | Lana Del Ray The National (too big for #4?) | Disclosure | The Lumineers
krisplettuce. Intentional of sorts. Sambo was clearly at the bottom. Right to left or left to right? I sort of mixed it up. I will get everyone in, but may not always go right to left or left to right. Just felt like a Big Freedia kind of day.
The Osheaga top line is in order of days that they will play. Not booking. I booked a condo for there. Needless to say I am underwhelmed. RHCP and Lana at 2 and 3 are my problems. Zero interest in either of them. I think the middle and undergrad is great. Wish the mid and bottom part of the card were at Hangout.
Their top 3 are lined up for Friday Saturday Sunday. There is no #1 #2 #3. So with Radiohead closing, I'd say they we're booked over LDR/RHCP but yeah.
