Pigeons are so good. Bought my ticket to their festival which is the same weekend as Hangout yesterday. Three nights of Pigeons playing till sunrise. Should be great. Their profile is definitely increasing. They are at Lockn' and Electric Forest this year and have their first west coast tour coming up. Such a fun show.
Motwn, can you tell em to come to TX, thatd be great.
there wasnt a dull moment in the show, production was tight and they jammed pretty hard it was Umph-like at times. Got a kick ass cover of Party Like Its 1999 too
I'm pondering the thought that Mutemath straight backs 21P for their whole headlining set....which would really fucking blow to miss.
So I did that rating system for this line up that Estaban did last year where every artist is rated 1-10 and you find the avg. I believe my rating for this year's (2016) was 5.1 (no way I'm looking for that post). This year is a drop to 4.45, which explains my initial hesitation to go.
The line-up is lacking 12 bands from last year, so I still think either additions will be added, or a stage will be nixed.
I did the rating exercise just to see...and weighting every score evenly, mine averaged out to 5.5 this year. Granted, I only sampled a song or two from a lot of artists I'm not familiar with..so this may change as I dig deeper. A couple of surprises that I found I rated 6 or higher were White Reaper, Kungs, Bishop Briggs, The Hunna, Barns Courtney, Nghtmre. My lowest ratings were for Lil Yachty, Towkio and Cheat Codes. Highest were Weezer, Sigur Ros, Marshmello, Mumford, Franz Ferdinand, Local Natives, Major Lazer.

I did it for last year too...granted its hard to remember what I thought before hand, especially for some I was excited for who didn't quite live up (Fetty, Griswolds, Bass Drum of Death) and others I wasn't really into but wound up liking (Snails, Moon Taxi, Kurt Vile) but I did my best and it came out to 4.75 (I think mainly because I hate Weeknd, Ellie Goulding and Panic at the Disco so much).
That being said, I had a great time last year, discovered some new music that I am now into (Mayer Hawthorne, Bro Safari) and grew into a big fan of a few bands I was only mildly into before seeing them live (Foals, Run The Jewels, Courtney Barnett)...which makes me pretty pleased with my initial thoughts on this years lineup since it rates higher.
I'll try that exercise with only the names I know.
4 - Mumford and Sons 1 - Twenty One Pilots 2 - Frank Ocean 8 - Chance the rapper 3 - Major Lazer 7 - Weezer 5 - DJ Snake 5 - MGMT 10 - Sigur Ros 4 - Tory Lanez 8 - A$AP Ferg 3 - Young the Giant 3 - Franz Ferdinand 1 - Charli XCX 7 - Mac Demarco 4 - Local Natives 0 - Lil Yachty 7 - Warpaint 0 - Cash Cash 6 - Strumbellas 0 - Louis the Child 5 - NGHTMRE 0 - Snakehips 7 - Shaggy 0 - Cheat Codes 7 - Bob Moses 7 - Mutemath 0 - Towkio 6 - The Suffers
That comes out to 4.035714. It's probably the lowest score of any festival I ever looked at (this being the 3rd estimate for Hangout that I can remember). I don't know a lot of the lower card and probably don't care either way. The list is very skewed by the amount of zero interest acts I have as well as some lower ones. The list would probably be even lower if I weighted the acts by appearance on the lineup.

This years stacked. Good times will be had. Still have one unannounced day of sets and surely a few additions to the lineup once they divide out those Malibu djs
Love the optimism krisplettuce. You could have fun on the beach if it was solid DJs. I would probably be more excited about going this year if it were all cover bands and DJs...Classic Rock of course.

There will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth from you when the Jazz Fest lineup drops and you are unable to attend!

Meh it's got a lot more going for it then other years personally. Maybe no big "punch" headlining act but very solid throughout for me. The bands that are there are ones I have yet to see as well weezer, mgmt, sigur ros, band of horses, head n heart, local natives, mutemath, young the g, franz, bob Moses, warpaint, strumbellas, rainbow Pussy, barns Courtney, white reaper
We could have done worse considering ppl expected the luminers, 1979, g eazy and Bastille.
If I were only 30 something, parents in good health, and other life crap. I had going to Hangout down pretty well. I would love to spend two weeks at Jazzfest but, folks on here are always dogging it for crowds, cost, etc. I am probably most likely to take a one day beer pass to Roo, Pilgrammage, or Beale Street. And for those it would be day pass. Just hard to get away for more than a weekend as I'm the caregiver here. Hopefully, my son will get some time on job and leave saved up so he can watch the folks while I take a break.
I hope you have a killer time at Hangout krisplettuce. If the moons align, I'll try to get down early, hit pre-party, and head home.
Not sure about the shuttle. Pre party is dependent on the line up, of course.
This year's wasn't really that special other than Rage Taxi, but enough fun acts to justify a ticket. 2015 was meh, 14 wasn't too special either but I really to try the Pre party out. 2013 was stacked but of course we didn't really know at the time.
So the pre-party is worth the $50? Does the shuttle run that night? Are all the food and drink vendors open?
We went in 2015 and it really wasn't all that. Other than The Word and Keys N Krates, it was weak as fuck. Black Tiger Sex Machine, Astr, Crusr, damn that was terrible. And they replaced Talib Kweli with Joey Bada$$ who was way too wasted. Break Science had flight issues else they would have owned that shit. Grandtheft played to the crowd which sucked because he is usually pretty hard.
There was limited food, but the craft beer area by the Ferris wheel was open. Really a waste of money in my opinion, but Hangout Fest is anyway this year for me personally.

thanks everyone...sounds like we haven't missed much by not going. We were thinking about checking it out this year, but sounds like we should wait for the pre party lineup to decide.

Nah pre party's always good fun. Basically no ones there, 3 stages, you can try the hangout restaurant if you'd like, drinks are like normal. Last year was Bauuer, lil dicky, big freedia, Matt n Kim, grouplove and moon taxi rage set. I'd say worth the $50 but I do VIP so yea it's just included.
Pretty sure they swapped talib in 2015 due to all the complainers which sucked cause then I had to miss him due to the conflict it created during the weekend.
First couple pre-parties were awesome. Umphreys McGee, Railroad Earth, Ryan Bingham, Girl Talk, Iron and Wine, Dumpstaphunk, Delta Rae, Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors, St Paul and the Broken Bones, Lotus, and a lot of others I really enjoyed. Given the direction Hangout is heading...I don't have a lot of confidence in 2017. The Word was really good but, that was it in 2015.

I'd probably agree if I stayed in Gulf Shores and got in on Thursday or earlier. We didn't have a bad time outside of laughing at a couple of sets we wandered by. It was fun enough. But if I ever went back to Hangout (and I stayed in Pensacola which we usually do) it would be lineup dependent. Baauer Moon Taxi Rage and Freedia probably could have got me there for 40/50
Corey Feldman posted on his facebook, yes I follow him, that he will be touring with his very talented band Corey Angels,and will be hitting up fests this summer....I smell Pre party headliner.
Happy New Year to my Hangout friends. Hope everyone has a great year both personalty and musically. Hope to catch you all at a show or fest somewhere soon. I'm at the in-laws sitting in a corner with my headphones on watching the live stream of the Disco Biscuits show and getting drunk. Pretty OK by me.
