Esteban we get it. You hate Hangout this year. Not sure why you are posting on here more than anyone else with all of your negativity while you have no intentions of going. There are a lot of people on here who are excited about Hangout and can't wait to go. I understand that this a forum to express your opinion, but when it's constantly negative about the festival that the thread is about it gets to be a drag and sort of depressing. Just my thoughts

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
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.
see its hard for me to get behind someone like Q or ASAP when i dont like their music, its easy to make most rap shows fun and/or energetic but i gotta get behind what the songs are about. I love Gambino and his versatility and really enjoyed his Hangout set in '14. Overall Gov Ball beats Hangout but not by much (if i liked Sigur or Frank id feel different), there is a chance i make it to Gov ball for a day if one of them are loaded for me but i have to wait to see what Pano offers.

Well, I was responding to Krisplettuce's assertion that a lot of people on Inforoo wanted Same Old, Same Old. As someone who may or may not have attended more Hangout Festivals than you, I have a right (which you acknowledged) to respond that isn't the reason I'm not going (or the reason any of my 3 kids who have been to 3, 3 and 4 of them aren't going or interested in going). I believe it's a fair point to respond. I'm not here telling any of you that you're fucking retards or part of some shitty cult of chumps. I'm also not interested in raining on your parade. I'm giving my thoughts as to why or why not something may be valid or not. Like it or not, probably > 70% of the people that post on this thread are alumnis who aren't planning on attending. It's a place many of us shoot the shit.
As to the response to you, you said Governor's Ball was shitty. I looked up the lineup and disagreed. It's not a fight, and I'm sure you realize I don't hate you. I mean come on. Don't be all mad. Krisplettuce is a cool guy and someone I have met before. If we go back and forth on some stuff, it's really no big deal. He knows if he's in town that he can come knock on my door, and we'll throw down. Don't take shit personally. Be excited.
I'm totally down with talking about whatever in here. I think you are missing my point. It's the talking about the same thing and the constant bashing of Hangout I'm referring to

You're lucky in that living in Philadelphia basically allows you to hit anything between DC/Baltimore and Boston with minimal travel. You guys have an almost unlimited array of festivals up that way. I actually kind of like some of Childish's studio stuff, but I just wasn't into the Bonnaroo set I saw. He was funny between songs, but it was all sounding R&B and almost Gospel in parts (I realize Chance does a little Gospel now as well). I think it was break between MMJ and Slayer, so that could be part of it. And I'm willing to give him another chance in the future.
I love the thread. Don't get me wrong and by all means talk about whatever you want. I was just making an observation about the incessant bashing of Hangout. Sorry if any offense was taken. Not my intent

It's all good man, no offense taken. While it's disappointing to a lot of us (for probably different reasons), it's exciting for others. It's all good, and I still bought a ticket knowing the lineup - just in case.
I would prefer a Gambino set full of Camp and Culdesac tracks but i like everything else enough to enjoy it. But if it was a setlsit heavy on the singing i prob wouldnt dig it as much since he has so many other songs i love that he goes harder on. I cant really pull off a 3 day fest this year or fly anywhere so i got my eye on the DC, MD, NY, NJ stuff a lot more.
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
??
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.
Hey, chance and ferg are here this year! Cage and phantogram are last years news and wiz is so 2014. Didn't you get to see tool and q at voodoo? Wu tang is awesome I give em that and I never go anywhere without my carseat headrest. My neck would get so sore.
It's not "awful" but makes me appreciate hangout lineup 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
Did anyone see Health's set? Any sort of crowd at all? That was definitely a random booking for Hangout.
I stayed for 3 songs n left for RTJ....there may have been 50 total people. I don't get the appeal of Health.
The first 3 songs that played, the singer/guitarist and the other guitarist/possibly bassist (I forget) didn't touch the instruments. Just the drummer wailing away with what I assume were backing tracks of NIN-esque noise/distortion. It wasn't the style that turned me off but the fact one dude is head banging and swinging his hair hasn't even attributed to the music being created. Maybe I'm missing something.
I'm realizing the only fests line up I've been impressed w so far have all come from abroad.

I believe the last time I saw Health was the tour when they played Hangout. They only had 3 people playing live that tour, when there is normally 4. They definitely weren't as good as the previous time I'd seen them. That being said, I did still very much enjoy the show. But yes, some of their music can be quite abrassive.
And hair swinging dude was likely messing with a bunch of pedals and synths on the ground while getting down. At least he was when I saw them. And a lot what the singer is doing is going into the mic, then getting distorted/manipulated and looped back.

Haha +1. I must have followed you over to RTJ. Smallest crowd I've ever seen at that stage. I try to keep an open mind, but that one just didn't click for me.
Rothric Yeah If I remember that's what that dude was doing. It also doesn't help it was at 3pm, blistering sun on that shitty gravel stage. I'd assume a better environment would have been the blue stage at D4N or an evening set.
Note: I could see RTJ multiple times a year which is rare for me for a hip hop act. (Add Lupe to that list now that he has come out of a 2 week long retirement)
