I happened to be in Gulf Shores for Spring Break and I must say that it was LIT!!! Y'all should have seen Hangout on Wednesday night when I was there. It was an 80s cover band called U.S. that does a lot of college shows (especially in the southeast) followed by a DJ set. People were everywhere.
I think the alcohol ban was a bit much but I know they are wanting to keep Gulf Shores family friendly.
Nothing to worry about though, just trying to keep people like me away during SB!
Looks like my wife and I will be attending again this year. Canadian dollar bounced back a touch. Beach, music, booze and food I'm in despite the lineup. With the price increase I think we get some additions right around April Fools. Even if they removed a stage the numbers don't seem to add up. Unless they have 2 contest winners? Sure hope they keep that restaurant stage open. Any more news on Zika?
Last report I saw on Zika cases in Alabama was about a week and a half ago and there were only three cases, all travel related. I'm not surprised since it's really still too chilly here for the mosquitoes to kick in. We usually start seeing them closer to April, when it gets warmer and rainier.
There's hardly ever a problem with them right on the beach since the breeze coming off the water keeps them away. If you're staying closer to the canals near the trees and marsh, definitely make sure you come armed with plenty of Off.
Monday morning brings #59 on the countdown, krisplettuce favorite, Hippie Sabotage. "Sacramento-born and raised brother duo Hippie Sabotage started to make music in the mid-2000s. Working closely with local producer Chase Moore during their early career, they mixed the cultural melting pot vibes of their hometown with hip-hop and produced beats for rappers such as J. Leake and Yukmouth. They later collaborated with Chicago-based artists such as Calez of 2008ighties and Kami de Chukwu. Hippie Sabotage developed and expanded their beats and soon incorporated more diverse influences on their tracks for a whole new host of rappers such as Alex Wiley ("Something to Say") and C Plus ("Callin' Me"). They released their own material with the EP Vacants in early 2013 and followed this with a couple more singles ("White Tiger" and "Sunny") throughout the same year. It was only in spring 2014 when singer Ellie Goulding posted their remix for "Stay High" by Swedish singer Tove Lo (songwriter for the likes of Icona Pop and Girls Aloud) on Instagram that they began to get worldwide attention. The song reached over a million hits following Goulding's endorsement and signaled a bright future for the duo. ~ Aneet Nijjar, Rovi"

I guess I respect performers like Hippie Sabotage trying to make a buck and appealing to enough people to make them legit, but...I will be at another venue or condo beach/pool.
Anyone have any insider information on who the "Reach the Beach" winner might be. Jamell Richardson was an awesome Hangout main stage opener last year. Wish they would add him, the 80s cover band referenced above, and a really good local band.
Yeah we're not getting additions which is even sadder given how much the price of a ticket is going to be by April 1st. Who would pay that money for this lineup if they hadn't bought a ticket already? They could get one for like $220-$250 off fbook or on the streets of gulf shores the day of. The day by day is embarrassing frankly. Coachella, Firefly, Roo, and Panorama all have theirs and 3 of those r run by the same damn company. Nvm Lolla who will have theirs immediately on the 23rd when the lineup drops for a festival basically in August. All your bullsh*t facebook and twitter posts with nothing but pics of teenagers doing the shaka that are absolutely worthless. They give absolutely zero information that has anything to do with the actual fest this year. How about a map? App update? It's terrible this year and it feels even worse because the lineup dropped so early. It's basically been 6 months of nothing since November. Pre Party- and that's it.
having the lineup so early does make this all that much worse, the lack of communication is really frustrating, like cant even give some vague responses or hints or time frames for when certain info will be released? Its just becoming easier and easier to write this off for next year already.

I agree 100%. Very frustrating this year. The new promoter has been a disaster.

Also irks me that hangouts facebook will respond to idiots asking about a alcohol ban that clearly states it's only in effect til April 14th or something but straight ignore folks asking if the lineup is complete. I mean if it was complete wouldn't it be easier to just come out with it and say "Complete lineup". I'm still leaning on the side that they do have somthing in their pocket. Surely they aren't that clueless.
That is def frustrating krisp. They read the comments, if someone asks how to purchase a ticket u better believe they reply right away. If it's something as simple as just answering a basic yes or no question, or even giving a timeline for anything, they're completely quiet and don't say a word.
I don't understand what the big deal is considering a) Krisp said this will absolutely be "the best one yet", and b) pouring red wine into vinegar only makes it a little redder.
Well for those of us still going it is something to help build the excitement and also the adds can't really hurt what already is a very radio friendly blah lineup. Also the Day by Day should help us organize a realistic schedule too which could make or break thhis lineup for some. Again, it's more about the communication than anything.

..."a little redder" is already exceeding my expectations!
we will tar and feather ya ass if your wrong or fucking with us!
Anyone old enough to remember the days of Pablo will have the patience and salty grains to always have a little doubt for the boys in radio but it makes sense given the price increase next Friday.

not a big deal at all. just irks me a bit that they ignore so many asking.
i know itll be good one. i like the artists. i have my biggest group of buds ever going. we are in VIP. condos paid and we have euphoria 30 days before so i'm feeling good! plus we know additions are coming. patience make the lineup stronger. : )
& vinegar is clear so wouldn't red wine make it more red? idk i tend not to drink either
