I like Morocco. I think my absolute favorite song by them has always been Mercury. They have a lot of good songs even though sometimes they can be formulaic. I might have seen them more times than any other out of town band except STS9. Chris Cornell and Umphreys are probably next on that list
It's cool y'all are getting the 2 moon taxi sets. I was disappointed that I missed their night set last time they were at Hangout (14?). Whatever the conflict was had to have been strong for me to miss that night set. I saw People of the Sun and I had them 3 weeks later at Wakarusa. But I usually try not to miss them when they play a fest I'm at of when they come to town.
Most seen bands? The Roots maybe 6 times, Ozomatli 6, Sts9 5 (6 come Euphoria), Gogol Bordello 5, Wild Child 6, Mutemath 6, Lotus 4, Thee Oh Sees 4, Umph 3 (4 in a few weeks), Big Boi will be 5 (once as Outkast, twice as Big Grams) times come Hangout surprisingly.
This will be my 4th ALABAMA shakes show. 5th portugal the man show
Euphoria will be my 6th nectar show!
I am interested in seeing Bassnectar and the supposed Basshead "scorched earth" policy when it comes to festival vibes.
Haha. It's a small percentage of the overall crowd. I've seen him 4 or 5 times. Most bass heads are pretty cool. It's the small percentage of chumps that give the overall fanbase a bad name. He is in no way a douche. I am seriously hoping priority stage is in the very front so I can be amused by the rail fam.
Btw, I think I have seen Taxi 5 or 6 times and Tribe maybe 11. Oh and I forgot Break Science. I've seen them 6 or 7 times too.

I knew the first two bands were my most seen, but I didn't know the rest. It was cool to see that. DMB (18) Avett Brothers (17) Ben Folds (6) Jack Johnson (6) My Morning Jacket (6) Talib Kweli (6) Bob Dylan (5) Moon Taxi (5) 4 times each (aka "The Festival Bands"): The Black Keys, Dawes, The Flaming Lips, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Kanye West, Pretty Lights, The Roots, Skrillex, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Widespread Panic, and Wilco
It's pissing me off. I just got back from Tallahassee and Pensacola and have the house to myself. It was an ideal night to scope some shit that I don't know if I have schedule gaps. I've seen about 25-30% of the lineup, and I know about another 25%. I want the fn food list too so I can get excited for some hill country standard and eclectic shit or know that it's gonna suck. They don't have any apps in the App Store, so I'm guessing they haven't done one in the past or have pulled them. It's gonna rule but maybe it's outgrowing their ability to inform people shit that might matter and get us excited? Come on bitches. It's 12 days. Hurry the fuck up with the info.
Theres an African joint thats always at Austin based festivals that has a banging brisket taco. I almost always order it multiple times whenever they're set up at a fest.
Good Easter Sunday morning everyone! Hangout counting down with #53 Tourist. William Phillips (born February 12, 1987), also known by his stage name Tourist, is an electronic musician and songwriter. In 2015 he won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for co-writing "Stay with Me", along with James Napier and Sam Smith, the latter also the song's performer. (Wiki)
Initially I thought the lineup was pretty blah, but I've been watching live video for most of the bands and despite the fact that it's pretty Serious xm alt rock radio there is a lot I can check out. Flo, Calvin, Shakes, Lenny (looks like a good live show), Foals, Cage, Taxi, Revivalists, Bridges, Portugal, HAIM, Koa, Raury, Pepper, Stick Figure, Muddy Magnolias, Kaleo, Atlas Genius, RTJ, Barnett, Bully, Coasts, x Amber. (Terrible lyrics look like they have fun on stage though), Brett, flume and even Calvin. Did I say Isbell? I'm sure I'm missing others. Lots for me to see. Could it be better? Sure!

If you're doing stick figure and pepper, you've got to be doing the Wailers!?...they're one of my sure bets.
Esteban and I did this rating thing where we ranked each act from 1-10, then made an average of the acts and compared it to last year. The Weekend is a 0. I have no interest in seeing him. Calvin is about a 5. Ill check him out if nothing else seeks my interested. Florence is a 10. She is my fav artist on this list. ...and so on down the list for 2016.
Last year was Foo at a 10, ZBB at a 4, and Beck at an 8. ...and so on down the list for 2015.
Oddly enough, 2016 had a slightly greater score than 2015. (like 5.8 vs 5.5) But, 2015 top tier was much higher rated than the bottom. This year has a lot of acts I am excited to see and a bunch I have almost no interest in seeing. Maybe Ill try it again today if I have time at work.

I am pretty much in agreement with your entire list. Not sure about Calvin though. There are definitely some good acts. I don't think I will have a problem finding a good band in every time slot, with the exception of the closing acts (Flo will be great though).
It just seems like there is a much higher percentage of pop and below average music this year. When I listened to the Spotify or Pandora Hangout playlists last year, I liked the majority of the songs. This year, there is a much higher percentage of music I don't really care for.

...and that's really close to my list.
yeah I missed a bunch. I feel like the younger bands have a different feel this year. I feel like there isn't a lot of variety or a name that I'm super excited about that I haven't seen before
Good news y'all: Flo is definitely out for Friday as she will be doing an ACL Live taping that night. Not sure if this was addressed. This almost definitely puts her as the Sunday closer since that as far as fuck travel to make it Sat night.
Weekend Friday (Umph/STS9/Ghostland in the TENT, MAKE IT HAPPEN) - CH Sat- Flo Sunday seems most likely. Ironically, if I stay in Austin, I could have seen Flo twice! In fact, half this damn line up is rolling through here prior to, but alas......
as STS9 Drummer Zach Velmer put it "Why is Hangout my favorite festival....because it is.....
Monday morning coming down...#52 Judah and the Lion. Judah & the Lion is an americana-folk band from Nashville, Tennessee started in 2011. The band released an independent EP in 2013 entitled Sweet Tennessee that received commercial success on numerous Billboard charts. The band is made up of Judah Akers, Brian Macdonald, Nate Zuercher, and Spencer Cross. Judah & the Lion is set to release their new album, Folk Hop 'N Roll, on March 4, 2016. The band will also be touring many cities and states across the United States during the Spring of 2016 releasing their new material.
Comments? No doubt, one of my top ten picks for Hangout 2016! I love this sound.
Of all the bands I wasnt familiar with on the lineup Judah has become my favorite and i think they will be the sleeper set of the weekend. Im diggin the concept of the new album too. Looking forward to this set!
