Not a whole lot of difference in terms of numbers on the EDM side between 2015 and 2016 in my opinion. Also, Foos, ZBB, and Beck were waaaaaay better headliners and a lot more folk-americana & fun, beach music last year in the middle of the lineup (Cold War Kids, Colony House, Deep Vally, Drive by Truckers, Elle King, Father John Misty, Elliot Root, Foster the People, Galactic, Houndmouth, and on and on). After I get back from 2016, my opinion might change, but from a March perspective, 2015, which was a down year, was better than 2016, which I am considering the worst year for performers I want to see. Last year the scheduling kept me from a lot of bands I wanted to see. I hope/don't think there is enough on this year's lineup to cause that kind of conflict.
One Skrillex last year was probably worth all the EDM on the lineup this year. Again, past experience says I wind up having a better time than I think I will once I get my feet in the sand and cold one in my hand.
An hilarious stoner comedian. If you have never seen Super High Me, do it tonight.
Hehe, how high were you when you wrote this? I've seen some bad grammar in this thread, but I laughed out loud on this one. Good luck on the additions, gang.

Ugh....do you know something? This is brutal if they never announce.

I feel like they will maybe fill the slots that you all found to be empty and that's it. Goldenvoice doesn't really do much in the way of additions, so unless they're treating Hangout differently, I wouldn't expect anything crazy to alter your thoughts of the current lineup.

That's what I was afraid of with Goldenvoice, but we still haven't received the day by day breakdown. Holding out hope on this.
My other thought was them dropping a stage and just going with the current lineup.
@radius Claus most likely correct on additions. I'm not feeling it. A poolside Comedy Central would be great.
krisplettuce my travel arrangements are pretty up and down at this point. If I have extra space, it would be the couch or floors as beds are taken if we go. Sleeping on a chaise on a Reef deck wouldn't be the worst place I've crashed.

That wouldn't surprise me. I just wonder which stage it would be. I suppose it would be either the BMI or the Hangout (Rest.) stage, though the Rest. stage was probably my third favorite. I also wonder if they won't make the Malibu tent a bit of a bigger deal since this lineup is geared so much towards newborn babies. I will give Hangout a bit of a break compared to where I was when they first announced. After seeing all of the other undercards, they got some pretty cool stuff that other fests did not get.
The asphalt, seafood courtyard stage would be my choice to close. Wish they would invest in some better turf for Palladia er MTVLV stage.
I can see them replacing the seafood courtyard stage with the Malibu tent. Just a random thought.
I dont think they would ever close down the hangout stage. I am assuming that all the money made at the bars and restaurant inside the walls goes to the hangout and not funneled through the festival LLC.

Hey guys, I've been trying to keep up with this thread more but have been very busy. I did however want to share some reviews of Hangout artists I've seen in the past couple months.
Nahko - Saw them at Okeechobee. I'm a huge fan of these guys and they seemed really into the music and crowd during their performance. Their setlist was a little questionable with them only getting an hour and then them spending 20 minutes of it playing new songs no one has ever heard of before. They didn't play any of their "bigger" songs and it was a complaint I heard through out the entire weekend. It was weird they were selling merch with the lyrics to some of the bigger songs on the shirts and didn't even play them. That said there couldn't be a better venue for these guys then Hangout. I'm hoping for a 4pm Surf performance to kind of relax in the hot sun in the middle of the day. If you listen to "7 feathers" it just makes your soul feel good. With Hangout being a more mainstream event I bet we get a better setlist. Check them out if you're into their music they have a lot of energy live and the crowd was having a great time.
Struts - Saw them last week at a free radio show. I expected dramatic and Glam from these guys but more in the KISS way then the Queen or David Bowie way. Boy was I wrong, the lead singer changed outfits three times during the show from chokers to fringes to glitter. They also did some Bowie covers where he jumped into the middle of the crowd. They played both their radio singles within the first five songs and jammed out and kept everyone entertained for an hour afterwords which can be difficult at a casual listener radio show. The lead singer is a true showman and I would recommend everyone catch their set at Hangout!
Jason Isbell - Saw him at Okeechobee and he sounded great. We walked over and watched two songs from Post Malone and it was so bad I was forced to come back and watch the end of Jason's set. He definitely brings that old school Rock N Roll feel with american banter between songs. He did like a 10 minute tribute song to his wife who plays the fiddle in the band. It wasn't an exciting performance and he didn't use any cheap gimmicks for crowd reaction.. he just played good music and it worked. I honestly probably won't catch him at Hangout due to how many mid card acts I want to see but hes a good show and if you want to see him you won't be disappointed.
Big Grams - Saw them at Okeechobee and I was a little disappointed. It was a good show but it was just missing that extra "Umph" that other artists brought over the weekend. You really couldn't feel the energy except for Miss Jackson. I was excited when on the setlist it showed "I like the way you move." but they only did the verses not the actual chorus of the song. It just seemed really cheesy to me, like no musical chemistry just them trying to cash in all summer on all the festival kids partying. They kept saying cheesy things like "If you're on something close your eyes for the beginning of this one it's really trippy." or "are you guys high right now." or "who's on drugs?!?!" Like literally between every song just trying to get a cheap cheer out of the crowd. They were both kind of awkward on stage with each other too. It looked like they were trying to choreograph a dance but it just came out looking really odd. I'll give them another chance since they'll have more shows underneath their belt but not if it's a conflict.
Moon Taxi - I feel like most of us on here have already seen them but they were awesome once again. I actually caught a drumstick at the show and kept screaming "People of the sun." The lead singer finally pointed at me and said "we heard you!" They ended up closing the show with "Killing in the Name" the first time they played it on the entire tour which was really cool.
The Weeknd - The Weeknd is my girlfriends high school artist. Back when "Trilogy" was out so we had to go since it has a special place in her heart. The show actually had potential to be a lot of fun. The production was really cool and he sounded pretty good live. Halsey was supposed to open so he had a little extra time in his set and he seemed a little disoriented from it. It did take away from the show that we were in an arena full of Weeknd and Travis Scott fans. A lot of high heels and nails done.. Not a lot of energy or people letting loose it had that uptight vibe. If he brings decent production I'll at least check out half his show at Hangout. I feel with the Hangout crowd his show has potential to be a good time. With him being exclusive I see Hangout making his performance special with production or guests etc. I'dcheck out half his set and head to the tent depending on who's playing.
Portugal the man - These guys played a late night set at Okeechobee and it was awesome. It was really under attended and I doubt i'll get that close if they play at hangout but it was really good. They haven't released anything new in awhile but a new album is on the way and that should help spice things up. They like to do Oasis covers live too which is fun. I really hope they close the tent opposing The Weeknd because they might be the only artist my girlfriend would be okay with leaving The Weeknd early for because she really enjoyed their set too. Do what you can do to catch these guys at Hangout.
DueDylangence...you are awesome at the performer review gig! First beer on me, There are performers that are off or on, and then there are the "we are here for the people and the profession". I consider Jason Isbell a star on the rise. I won't miss him and yes, the show is all about quality music, great riffs, solos, and get in your soul lyrics. Not about shock collars or funky hairdos.
Struts is on my entertainment short list as this is about the show and the music. I like Nahko, so good news. Ditto Moon Taxi. Not a Big Grams fan...probably be somewhere else. If a big crew of Inforoo camps out for Weeknd about 100 yards back, I'll check the weak one out, otherwise...somewhere else.

Yes I agree that Jason has a talent of getting in your soul and just making you have that feel good vibe. I did enjoy it when I honestly didn't expect to! I went because of your recommendation so thank you for that Bob! The Struts are good musicians too though! It had a lot of entertainment factors but the guy can belt some vocals and roll his tongue like no other. They included some guitar, drum solos so the music is definitely there along side the entertainment. Check them out you won't be disappointed.
