So who is still going to this? Random job changes may land me in Denver during the Winter making mad $$$ so I may take a random weekend off n fly out if every other line up blows.

...good for you! I should know by the end of Jan when the all the others are out. I'm coming to realization that this is just what lineups look like these days. Pop and edm are large and in charge. ...and as I posted a few days ago, being on the Gulf over the Holidays reminded me how much I love being down there.
It will be a week or two before decision krisplettuce. Just got the Doobie Brother/Chicago at Nashville Ascend on June 27 ad. I AM GOING! Anyone know how a person gets preferred status so they can order tickets tomorrow vice the 9th?
Agree solidrock but, I spent a week last year for a third of the cost, no crowds, no lines, and a lot of fun closing Florabama, watching the Blue Angels, and hanging out with friends. Not giving a flip for the music being played at Hangout, with a few exceptions, sure doesn't fire me up to do that vs the other. Oh, and three wine, beer and food tastings thrown in. $25 and I ate and drink myself to very happy place three afternoon/evenings around Gulf Shores. I am getting older for sure, no doubt. But Bose with my favorite beach music, Perdido key, boat drink, not bad Alternative.

I hear 'ya, but I prefer having the little festival down the street.

I disagree. Most festivals have edm for sure, but few are this pop oriented. Of course I don't plan on going so it's immaterial at this point except to have swapped my decision from not going in a hand basket to not going on a cruise missle. I'll give the lineup a look next year but Hangout decisions lost me. And there is no remorse now.

um, Beyoncé?...bottlerock, forecastle,(and I suspect, firefly, b'roo, gov ball etc will be similar)...I don't look at these lineups see major differences. They're all just a buckshot approach. I guess on the good side, schedules are usually conflict free.

Personally think that Napa Bottle Rock looks pretty awesome. Atleast gave me some hope fests still are looking for solid headliners. I mean Foo Fighters and Tom Petty together seems pretty great!

Folks on inforoo always want the same ol same ole. What's not solid about Mumford? Frank ocean less solid then maroon 5? Chance is no good anymore? And we know 21p arena tickets are going for 3x that of petty...
I think you are wrong on the point of most people here wanting reruns. Many if not all of us go to 5-10 other festivals a year. Rarely does anyone want to see the same things over and over. You're going to get some replays in a given year, but I just don't think this is a group of posters who wants what Hangout's feeding the masses. Mumford? Solid yes, but kind of boring. Frank Ocean? He's big and has a lot of fans. But is the music really all that? Chance is fine, and I don't think anyone scoffed at him. 21 Pilots is high school. That's the way it is. You might like all that and be fine with it, and I'm not going to criticize you for it except to say you're oversimplifying the Inforoo Hangout hate.
As for the Bottle Rock comparison, no way I give a **** about Maroon 5 either or Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. So they're inconsequential. The rest of the top 10 is probably better than Hangout's though there is other stuff besides the two I mentioned that I don't care about. It's a little more rock, but they're going for a slightly more California and rock feel than what Goldenvoice is doing in South Alabama with mass appeal.

You can say it, it's Modest Mouse. Hater
LMAO, though I'll give them an edge for musical talent. I don't really like Fitz and the Tantrums either to be honest. I've seen everyone else (besides Maroon 5) in Bottle Rock's Top 10, and outside of living in Napa or Sonoma, I wouldn't travel for that considering I've seen the Foo's probably 5 times, Petty 1, Modest Mouse 1, Ben Harper & IC 1, The Roots 1, Silversun 2, Band of Horses 2.
They do have some cool shit in the mid-cards. I've never seen Danny Boy or Everlast, so House of Pain (as generic white rap as it is) would be cool. Dirty Heads, Catfish, Galactic, Mavis Staples, Charles Bradley (if he's back performing again) are all acts I've seen or would see. Not much else for me.

Not what I'm saying at all I actually enjoy all 4 headliners especially Mumford and even 21 Pilots I've said that before. But as far as size of headliners is what I'm talking about for music fests now. Hangout has had foo fighters and Tom Petty who all have a ton of successful albums which most headliners use to have when being a headliner imo. And even if you don't like maroon 5 if they play they still have a ton of successful albums to be a headliner. I just mean now it seems like 1 or 2 albums that's good and gets hype is making anyone a contendter to headline fest lately not just hangout in general.
All these other lineup releases are making Hangout look even better to me than it originally did. Governors Ball looks awful. Bottlerock undercard is solid, but fuck Maroon 5. I'm loving Hangout more and more
By the way going on a spontaneous road trip to catch Rainbow Kitten Surprise in Columbus, OH because they are my new favorite band since Hangout lineup dropped. They are awesome

Tool, Chance the Rapper, Phoenix, Wu-Tang Clan, Wiz, Cage, Schoolboy Q, Phantogram, A$AP Ferg, Car Seat Headrest = awful?

That's like a dream hangout lineup.
Tool is Tool but they dont fit at Gov Ball at all the same way Sigur Rios doesnt fit Hangout at all (obviously Tool is a bigger get and bigger deal). However Tool is not for me.
Chance is at both and for me Phx is no more interesting than Mumford. Wu are legends but we know they will be lucky to have more than 3 original members. Cage and Phantogram are fest regulars (both great). Wiz and SchoolBoy Q are trash, ASAP Ferg is tolerable I guess but not a fan. Really would only be jealous of Gambino and Roosevelt and maybe Carseat Headrest since Hangout dropped that rawk. But Gov Ball is equally uninspiring as Hangout overall
There are at least some eclectic acts at Governor's Ball. Hangout has Sigur Ros. That's it. Yeah, they're one of my all time favorite modern bands, but as someone said a few pages back, it's kind of ironic that they'll be playing Hangout where they are likely to have the smallest crowd. There is literally almost nothing else on Hangout's lineup that takes any chances except arguably Chance who is pretty much mainstream (though obviously not terrible) at this point. And that's great for casual, non-musical fans like the majority of the Hangout crowd now which is there for the party and the pop songs they know the words too. If that suits your fancy, by all means be excited. But there is a reason long-time attendees people have been abandoning Hangout (many way before me) in favor of casual pop fans. There is a reason that Day For Night Festival is literally the opposite of what Hangout is despite drawing on modern popular acts like Odesza and Travis Scott. And I'd go to Day for Night 100 times to 0 over Hangout even though it wasn't all the best music for my tastes. They weren't afraid to serve non-McDonald's. And they weren't afraid whether people would or would not get shit because they weren't appealing to a Top-40 base.

I disagree. I think Phoenix is way more interesting than Mumford. Any members of Wu-Tang are fine to catch at least in my live experience. So if you got RZA, Ghostface Killa and say Method Man, that's going to be a great show regardless of whether everyone else is there or not. Schoolboy Q was good when we saw him at Buku, surprisingly good. It was a couple of years ago, and I haven't kept up with him since. But the show was fine. I actually think Childish Cambino is the weakest act you listed (from both of our lists) as the Bonnaroo 15 set bored me beyond tears. Then again, I don't like much R&B.
