There werent many surprises to the schedule last year, we all kind of knew when/what stages people would be playing when we got the DBD breakdown just based on past years. It would be nice to be able to do that but I'm guessing we are getting artist adds and they're probably waiting for that.
Most performers have all three days blocked out on their schedule. However, Florence's official site does not have Hangout listed. She is booked May 17, 18, 19 and 24 somewhere else. Ellie Goulding is likely on Sunday as previously noted. Miike Snow's website is interesting. Friday at 8:00 PM in Nashville and lists a performance with the Wailers at Noon on Sunday. Leon Bridges booked into Austin the 19th and somewhere else the 23rd so open three days. Jason Isbell open all three days. Lenny Kravitz only lists the 20th ditto The Weeknd. If those two teamed up for a Friday closer, I would check it out. I'm thinking Moon Taxi Friday since they are playing Thursday night, but they are open all four days. And Stranger's You Know list the 20th...but do not have anything scheduled around Hangout.
I guess we will no for sure sometime over the next 8-9 weeks.
Random Guess: Santigold, Zeds Dead, Head and the Heart, Shamir, Lumineers, the Arcs, and Umphreys as additions because I want my scalps...er Jam on this fucking line up.
Didn't have a lot on my schedule today, 40s and windy, so I ran some numbers for the heck of it.
In terms of "live" or "bands with instruments" = 60% of the lineup EDM = 27% and RAP = 13% or 60% = most live videos I looked at were instrumented bands, 40% appeared to be "singer/mixing device"
In terms of genre - Alt/Indie = 28%, EDM = 26%, RAP = 13% Rock = 12%, Folk/Songwriter = 10% Other = 5% R&B = 3% and Reggae = 3% (probably + or - 10-15% in making the genre calls)
I probably am not 100% or 80% consistent with itunes and others on what is what in terms of genres, but lineup does seem to reflect a younger demographic. Not complaining, but would have liked to seen a little more blues-rock in the lineup like a Gary Clark Jr, Bonnie Raitt, or TTB.
Sad to hear about the Foo Fighters hiatus. They were the reason 16 year old jackwagon went to his first festival/live concert back at Hangout in 2011. What's weird is, I just watched their documentary Back and Forth last night because I was feeling nostalgic, then went on Facebook and saw the post that they were gonna have big news today. Fuck.

I really hope Weezer gets added since they are touring with Panic! any way. I'd also like to see a 90s/00s rap act like DMX/Nelly/Missy/Busta get added, but that feels less likely. And somebody like OCMS/Perpetual Groove/Leftover Salmon/Steeldrivers.
i would love so many 2000's hip hop acts. I was actually listening to Fabolous' first 2 albums yesterday and they are sooo good even today and he killed it at Made In america last year. Ludacris has been active lately so he would prob make the most sense if one were added plus hes a Firefly
Heard Galactic ("Right On" feat. Ms. Charm Taylor) on one of the local alt stations this a.m....I've never heard them on the radio before...happy for them.
Up to bat, #77 on my countdown is the Lost Kings. Good Thursday morning Hangout family! It is snowing at my house this morning...dang...ready for some sun and sand.
"I think a lot has to do with song selection. There are so many songs that people just remix and remix and remix so even the best remixes of that song kind of get overlooked. We really try to limit ourselves from that and do different tracks. We also play everything in, this really helps create more energy and feeling and can really transfer to whosever listening." wearelostkings.com/ "In a competitive field flooded with talent, Los Angeles act Lost Kings have pulled away from the pack with their infectious dance releases. Members Rob and Nick launched the duo project only a year ago but have quickly ascended the ranks of the industry, thanks to a strategy that heavily relies on their production chops and turnaround time. With 20 native records living on their SoundCloud page, along with a few guest mixes sprinkled in, the Lost Kings’ diligent work ethic in the studio has translated to excellent streaming numbers and a multitude of radio spins." www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/6778010/lost-kings-remix-success-bad-spinnin-records-ep
Comments? Dance music LA Style...made for the beach...
Lost Kings is borderline dismal. I mean that shit would have sucked in 6th Grade. Beyond worse than MTV Uber Pop. They actually give Fun! and Ellie Goulding testicles by comparison.
Fucking awful pop-pap shit. Sorry to be throwing lightning bolts at you mfrs but Lost Kings IS Hangout 2016.
I'm looking forward to Dave Grohl showing up at Hangout with a whole new sound and backing band. Really enjoyed Galactic with Macy Gray and also glad they are getting some radio time.
I roadied for a R&B band in the 90s called Utopia. They may have snuck in some Nellie, but mostly AWB, Lionel, Michael, "Brick House" and George Benson stuff. I like all sorts of music...but, listening to DJs is just boring to me after a while. If someone is playing live, I'll be there over someone mixing. Different strokes. mattlikesrock, I'm always ready for some OCMS "Alabama Hightest" or Steeldrivers!
