OK...good news and bad news. Good news, my son finally got a breakthrough job in Nashville. Prayer answered. Bad news, I am flying to CA to drive him back this weekend. After Raury tomorrow and Snails Thursday, I need someone to post Pepper (Friday), Vince Staples (Saturday), Atlas Genius (Sunday), and Struts (Monday) as I'll be away from my desktop. Due to this move, new job, parents, other issues, I am going to have to forego Hangout 2016. I have my two alumni tix up for sale $209 each. I'll miss the show and the Inforoo-Ocean Reef-Purple House-IWE Pool crew, but maybe 2017.

Congrats on all counts. While "It is going to be great", skipping this year is the right move.
That top three is even worse than Hangouts. (Sorry Flo)
I have no problem with Muse. The Bowie screen from his 2000 HL set will probably be pretty cool. What I'd see:
Muse PJ Harvey LCD Beck New Order Jeff Lynne's ELO Vince Staples Kamasi Washington Sigur Ros Art Garfunkel Earth Wind & Fire Explosions in the Sky Disclosure Madness Wolf Alice Unknown Mortal Orchestra
They will probably add dozens more acts, but I'd have been ecstatic if this was Hangout 2016 vs. what we got.
None of those artists are in any way hard to see, except for ELO which is newly returned and hasn't full scaled tour yet, and PJ, who does tour but not often. In general though, I don't feel like Glasto would be that great for my tastes, way too massive and chaotic. People always have great things to say about it though.

That said, I saw PJ front row in ATL in 2008 =)
It's not that many of them are hard to see, but there's some decent value for the price. I'd see Sigur Ros anywhere (only seen them once and loved that show). A buddy of mine (RIP) was a giant PJ Harvey fan in the 90's. He literally f'n loved her. But as the point of comparison, I think the acts listed (and sorry to all, but I'm not much of an ELO fan though I'd see the current incarnation) are overall way better than the top of Hangout.
Now I pretty much agree with you about size. I've seen some sets before on tv, and it's like tens of thousands of people in the crowd. Every time I see one of those mega-European festivals I'm left wondering, where the **** is everyones' drink? I mean to get across some of those crowds to just go to the bathroom, I'd need at least 4 or 5 beers in hand to cover me. And it's almost (like > 90% of the crowd) just clapping or singing. Don't people get thirsty even for water? And to the point about needing 4 drinks to get across the crowd and back, how the **** does anyone get to the bathroom?

At Center Stage? We were there in the front row.
Yeap, on the right side. That show was amazing!
Esteban- I always think about that shit too. The logistics of being in a crowd like that must be insane. Do people just piss on the ground or in bottles? I mean, if I'm in the middle of 80K + like that I'm just gonna go. I would def get lost coming back.
Also not into ever being in a crowd that is 90% screaming lyrics and clapping loudly (likely slightly off time).

That show was incredible. I'm probably the biggest PJ fan boy and that's the only time I've been able to see her live. We were right in front of PJ at that show.
Hey guys! I have a question about scheduling. Assuming Flo is Sunday, that would put Calvin on Saturday because of a show in Las Vegas on Friday. With that being said, do you guys expect Calvin to play the Hangout stage against another EDM act like Flume in the tent, or do you see him on the Surf stage with Alabama Shakes closing the Hangout stage on Saturday? Trying to hash out a mock schedule just so cause I'm hyped, but I wasn't sure if they would conflict Calvin v. Flume.
Been wondering the same thing. I highly doubt theyd put Flume against Calvin and have 2 DJ's at the same time but idk who they would put in the tent either. Hopefully Flume is against The Weeknd, Friday. I also dont see anyway Calvin isn't on the main Hangout Stage. He's closing Coachella. He's a top 3 act right now.
I would just get that thought out of your head. Best option would be maybe getting another Surf closer/Hangout stage sub headliner (I think Of Monsters & Men would fall into this spot and make a lot of sense).
would love LCD but there would be no reason to add them later since they're playing everywhere already. I remember another thread saying Arcade Fire is expected at one more US fest this summer, with Lolla already out wonder if we have a chance? What other summer fests are left to announce, FYF and Outside Lands?

Tough call. Calvin is a way big enough act to headline the main stage, though the Surf Stage is pretty big in its own right and would do fine. But if he is the headliner on Saturday, what do you oppose that with (which traditionally has been opposed)? It would have to be the tent since no other stage works for main stage headline conflicts. So who do you put in the tent? It would likely either be a rapper, a DJ or a jam/jamtronica band (e.g. STS9 in 2014 on Friday). That doesn't leave a lot of options on the current roster. Since I'm likely out, I haven't kept up with how much "by day" is legit at this point. And since Calvin is basically a pop artist (though a DJ one), Chainsmokers don't make much sense as an alternative because they aren't an alternative. Flume is possible or Run the Jewels if they go rap act in opposition. Beyond those two acts, Big Grams, Fetty, Brosafari and Thomas Jack would be the next obvious choices in that order.
This all leads me to believe that Hangout probably will have some additions. Assuming Lenny Kravitz isn't the Saturday Surf Closer (or that Calvin doesn't do his set on the Surf Stage ala Skrillex last year and then either Lenny or Shakes closes main stage), there is either going to be someone added in the singer/songwriter vein to close Surf Saturday, one of my choices is right, or they're still going to add someone who will present different music than what you're going to get with Calvin Harris even if a DJ.
Theyll be at Outside Lands I'd imagine. ACL I guess isn't off table either. Which now that I think of it, would be awesome since Hangout has shared at least 2 of their top 4 with ACL the last 2 years. The Weeknd/Florence/Alabama Shakes this year and then Beck/Skrillex in 2015.

Only thing on the lineup that I could see going oppo would be Run The Jewels or possible Portugal The Man. I wouldn't have thought them before but after seeing that they did a late night set at Okeechobee, it's not completely off the table and it'd definitely be a different demographic than those would be at Calvin.
I was wondering the same thing about Calvin. It sure seems like he will close out either Saturday or Sunday. I would love if they added an Arcade Fire or other headliner, but I don't think it will happen. The boom boom tent is the only other stage they use when the main headliner is performing. Not sure who they would put in there to oppose Calvin. You would think it would not be another DJ type.

We had to be right next to each other then, because that's exactly where I was. I don't think anyone was to the right of us, can't really remember though.
I keep hoping for an additional HK but how dumb would it have been to be holding out on LCD or AF for this fest? You could argue it took this long to agree to terms with them, but at this point people have already booked their fests this season. And Hangout isnt too far from Roo which has LCD so they're not going to pull much. At this point, adding some actual jam bands to scoop for florida, bible belt jamheads and some rap or edm really only makes sense.
Cant wait to hear some twitter bs today.
Imagine LCD is asking for a million to perform. Thats 3000 extra tickets theyd have to pull on their own. If people wanna see LCD, theyll get em Roo already.

I doubt it would be Portugal. Last time they played Hangout, that was perhaps the most first or second most crowded set I've been at Surf/Chevy Stage. It was late afternoon, but there had to be 15-20,000 people there. Of course 2014 was a **** show with the overselling of the event. They could end up being Surf Closer though one of the days if not a main stage pre-headliner.

I can do Atlas Genius for Sunday and Struts for Monday if you want. I don't have a job so what else is there to do?
I can't see how they put her on Saturday when they will have performed 12 hours away in Austin the night before. That's a logistical nightmare for any band let alone a headliner.
That show was incredible. I'm probably the biggest PJ fan boy and that's the only time I've been able to see her live. We were right in front of PJ at that show.

Probably. This happens pretty often, me finding someone online that I was at the same shows before I knew them.

No Arcade Fire at FYF (sick lineup though) so that has to leave us and Outside Lands for them, right? I fucking hope! Who am I kidding though it wont be us. Please be us, though. For real. Fuck its not us, i know it. shit.
I would say that Arcade Fire are possible. Windows 98 set last year could have sold him on it. The last 2 years Hangout has had 4 headliner type acts. Could see Weeknd or Calvin doing the Sunset spot. What if they added Arcade Fire for Friday and bumped Weeknd to the sunset spot then put Tame Impala in the tent opposite Calvin...I'm kidding it's probably not happening. Arcade at Outside Lands is likely. Saw them there during the suburbs your and it was incredible. They would cause me fits on the beach...
