Incubus would draw a lot of people. While the late 90s,early 2000 sure had a lot of shit alt/nu metals bands, I'd exclude Incubus from that list.
They popped up last year for SXSW and were 2 lines wrapped around multiple blocks with mass confusion to get in. Some of us badger holders literally made up on our own line and said "we were told we were first," and it worked. They then charged $50 to non badgeholders for Incubus, Tove Lo and a few other small bands. The show was flawless and one of my favorite of 2015.

Every time I've seen them live they've been great. Like a lot of bands we've discussed on here, their newer stuff isn't great but they still play a good amount of material from their early albums. Anything from SCIENCE through Crow is solid imo.
LCD Soundsystem playing Hangout? Doesn't appeal to the youngins, but it appeals to me and other people with good taste in music. Maybe Hangout is switching it up a bit. I really doubt Phoenix is demoted though, it's just silly. I know that Bankrupt! wasn't quite the hit some fests were thinking about, but they're still popular, it's been 4 years since their last album, and last time proved they can headline. I just don't think they'll be on this lineup, because Shaky Knees is rumored to have them. That would violate radius clause. The Killers have to be taking a break at some point to actually write the new album right? I mean they've done a bunch of fests during their hiatus, but I'm not expecting them at a fest in 2017 unless they have new material. 5 years without a new album(I believe that was when Battle Born came out).
So aside from the rumored/confirmed Mumford and Sons, and 21 pilots(probably a 4, but could easily sneak in at 3). There should be some nice surprises in the coming weeks.
HO and SK always have crossover and Flo headlined both last year.
Yea wtf are you talking about incubus would be great on the beach. Don't ruin this. Lol
Also don't forget gv also brought skrillex in 2015 when they took over 3 years after he played prior. I know he didn't "headline" but in the initial announcement we was announced as one.
Krispy I'm sorry man but do feel like their older stuff like all them said being great love would just be cool on the beach lol. Its one of the few true radio type rock bands that if they didn't play a lot of new could be really cool i think haha

Agree and Killers is suppose to have their new album out by hangout possibly.
Two words for people saying Incubus stands out too much: Lenny. Kravitz.
That's a very solid point, I was surprised Lenny was in that grouping last year. Him and Florence were probably the only two of the top ten I would have bothered to see.
I guess it's more that I wouldn't have expected an Incubus to be on a lineup similar to last year's new model - a 'fresh' and newer music generation. They seem 'old' to for that crowd, while a The 1975 or The Struts would be the newer alternative.
If this line-up is real, it feels more like a step back to the 2015 line-up. I would be surprised if there wasn't more EDM.

Radius clauses are whatever the artist and booker agree to at the end of the day. And yes, we shared Flo w SK, so maybe they take a pay cut, or Hangout has to announce later or some weird rules.
Because of my goofy schedule last year I wasn't able to see LCD at all and seeing as they're working on a new album, I'm sure the opportunity will arise sometime this year. But if they were at Hangout it would be a drastically big get for me personally. They don't fit the mainstream push that Hangout has but they're also surrounded by acts who are (Mumford, Killers, Pilots, Zedd, etc). It'd be a nice bone to throw us imo.

I would be curious to know how many HOMF attendees from last year could name a single LCD Soundsystem song. Or knew that LCD Soundsystem was the name of a band.

Everyone at the Chainsmokers show was Dancing Thmselves Clean so I assume they knew.

you mean Phx proved they could headline by not headlining anywhere else after?
Made In America is a joke festival with whacked out billing. So that's a poor example of Phoenix's popularity. They headlined Coachella and Lolla, arguably two of the biggest US fests. If they were to play both again, I would be shocked if they were demoted to subs. Roo was one of the only major fests who put them on a side stage, and not have them as a headliner in a baller 2014 lineup. We will see how many fests they headline in 2017.

Phoenix was billed 5th at Lolla, but top 6/8 at Lolla is not equivalent to headlining (i.e., top 3/4) at other festivals. Also, Roo wasn't the only other festival that didn't have them close a main stage in 2014. They were 7th at Gov Ball and subbed Outkast.

They were demoted to the third line in the same year they headlined Coachella at Music Midtown.
If an analysis showed Phoenix would only bring 1000 people to a fest, then they'd be at the bottom of the line up. There is no "Once a HL, always a HL."
Side note to that mock, I fully expect 21P to be in the top 3 but if Phoenix and Sia are 2 of the Surf closers that's still a solid start for this fest imo.
Mumford & Sons | (?) | 21 Pilots Sia | Phoenix | (EDM)

how is MIA a joke festival? Look at the first 3 lineups, really the only dud was 2015. Phx was 5th a Lolla so no they didnt headline. They got the bump for Coach and they flopped hard, find me anotehr line up of mid or bigger size that they headlined after Coach. Theyre not relevant now, no way they headline without huge(doubtful) album sales on a new one.

funny MM is also a 2 day fest and put them on the 3rd line like MIA did...
