I've been saying since it dropped that there is plenty in the undercard so I'll be busy all day. It's just gonna be lackluster endings to each night compared years past. A good schedule can help all of this but I'm still disappointed about the lack of additions for the first time in the 7 year history of this fest. Oh well. Just give me the day by day so we can piece this sh*tshow together.

Just saying, we're directly across the street from the closing stage. If the closing act(s) suck(s), feel free to stop by and catch the fireworks (if they still do fireworks) from our deck. After that, we're planning on hitting the beach.
A handful of people wearing a shirt that says "F*ck Hangout" while they actually pay to attend the fest is all sorts of lame. Ill enjoy it for what it is and hopefully it doesn't sell out and they make some adjustments next year.
I hate to be bearer of bad news but at least we have some closure with this confirmation... I'm in touch with the press contact for an article I'm writing and I'm copying and pasting the following from an email I got from her just a bit ago. I asked her to confirm that the lineup is final since additions have been made in years past:
Yes – the lineup is final! The day-by-day set list should be available in the next week or two, but other than that – you should be good to go.
any chance the press contact could be rating tight lipped on an announcement? I mean I doubt it, but we're you able to ask her about the gaps in the lineup? I'm interested to see how they fill them and how my math is so hopelessly off. Close a stage early? I can't figure it out and it's maddening. Maybe the Weeknd, Panic and Colemen Hell are all playing 3 sets...

True, but that's where we say "Hey AEG, Thanks for fucking up hangout" or something creative. In the end it could just be a good laugh. Well be wasting hundreds of dollars anyway. Also, wouldn't wanna get sued.

I honestly didn't press for details (as much as I want to) because my article is about the festival's greening initiatives and therefore the lineup details aren't relevant. Media passes have yet to be approved (supposed to hear by Friday) so I don't want to poke around for details that aren't tied to this article, especially since it would be hard to do so without sounding negative. I guess we could dream that she's keeping something hush hush but I'm accepting her reply as reality and if things happen differently, I'll just be pleasantly surprised.
Wednesday 6 April and 43 to go in the countdown. This morning's featured group is Nahko and Medicine for the People.

Comments? Looks like a fun show. Bring your tree to hug...or bestest friend.
With the majority of fests out, and this fest being a fucking disappointment (this goes beyond just how I feel about the line-up in its current state). I just have ACL, FFF, Hulaween, & Voodoo for possible fall festing.
I didn't know Nahko rhymed with taco 'til i watched that 2nd video?
lol
We saw some of their set at Waka 2014. Nahko was talking about how the first time they played there, there were about 10 people at their set. They had the Revival Tent about halfway full. It was fun enough - sort of Spearhead meets Hawaii. It's all positive vibes and hippie shit. Once was enough, but I certainly don't hate on them.

10 people!
Poor Kopecky had maybe 20 people at the tent during Waka last year. They were up against Slightly Stoopid @ Main and Conspirator @ Satellite so it was pretty much stacked against them. In comparison, they had a full Slut Life Stage @ Hangout and full bar during a SXSW showcase. Probably the smallest they've seen in a long long time but they still performed well.
