Sup with the Mayer mocks all a sudden? Is he in play next year?
Released new music last week that he will be touring on in the spring so he would be in play I imagine.
Plus I think the closest Dead and Co came to Gulf Shores last year was Bonaroo and his music fits the beach vibe of Hangout. I'm not a huge fan but I think he'd be one of the better options at headliner at this point.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE !!! Love reading all the hopes & wishes. You realize were usually all wrong, how about John Mayer. He has new material coming out with a tour sure to follow. I think he would be good for the beach. Just a small wish list here, but I don't plan on going back with anything close to last years lineup. Hope to see you soon my on the Festive tour this year.
John Mayer - Mumford & Sons - Alabama Shakes - Head and The Heart 21 Pilots, Dawes, Death Cab For Cutie, Ben Harper, The Revivalist, Kurt Vile, The Struts, Soja
You can throw in any Rap or EDM you like, I'm just not a fan of either, but I know it is needed keep a variety and keep a diverse lineup & crowd.
.
Surprised you didn't like last years lineup because 4 out of the 12 artists you mentioned played last year.. 33%
Actually, I've seen everyone I just mentioned except Mumford & Head and The Heart. I just thought these bands would still fit in. Personally I'd like to see Metallica, Muse, and Mumford but I think that's to rock heavy for the way this festival turned last year. Still hoping for a good lineup & waiting to secure a condo until I see it. John Mayer stills seems like a good possibility, and he's very good live.
so is muse out? I know hangout likes those Grammy winners. Also read that sisqo is gunna be touring next year. Fingers crossed boys.
I dont think Muse isnout for sure but there are stro g rumors theyre playing some of the later summer fests so they may not be stateside during Hangout.

It's 2 weeks earlier. I think it gets more Atlanta locals and people from that area. It is opposed to Jazz Fest but obviously those are two completely different festivals and have probably 2-3% overlap. Hangout is taken seriously on this board, but I don't think it has that much respect outside of the 16-22 set these days. We're all hangers on because of previous good times. Very few people besides cpd or Krisplettuce and a couple of others are all that excited. I'd like a lineup to specifically rule out so that I can just blow off the idea of even going.
We should know soon enough. Rumors around town are that Buku will be dropping in the next week or two, obviously Hangout seems poised to do the same. We'll see what else. But I'm thinking outside of a decent rapper, indie band or maybe a couple of good EDM acts on the mid-card, this may be one of the worst and/or most uninspiring festival lineups of 2017.

lol you wish
I don't wish. I wish they had some kind of experimental element that would entice me to want to spend a thousand dollars again like we did in our 4 year run from 2012-2015. There was nothing inspired about last year's lineup, though there were some good and credible acts. I'd have gone to a few of the sets if it was local, but I doubt I would have sprung for a 3 day. You have to admit that Goldenvoice mostly dumbed down the lineup last year.
I got the Sunshine Festival notice yesterday. Not enough there for two days and two places for me to spend travel dollars. But, I wish Sunshine lineup was 100% somewhere within the 2017 Hangout lineup. Maybe no Headliners there, even though I believe TTB, could headline. Just not at a 16-22 year old festival...Ken Sumar. I rarely agree with steeeeevie, but last year had no steak...all potatoes. I mean a Jack White, Foo Fighter, RHCP, DMB, KOL, Tom Petty, Widespread Panic, Outkast, at least brought something with substance to past Hangouts. Hard to spend over a thousand dollars for Flo, Jason, and Lenny.

For my personal tastes, 2016 and 2013 were the worst years, with 2013 being just a little bit better because of The Shins. 2011 and 2014 were the best and 2012 and 2015 were so-so. Since the fest seems to go "Wow!" then "Cool!" then "Meh." in a cycle, I hope that 2017 blows us away below the top line.
I never get super pumped about HLs anyway because I'm usually tired and drunk and can't be bothered by other tired and drunk people. I usually watch HLs from my balcony. What I'm concerned about are lines 2-6. That, in my opinion, makes or breaks the fest.

I don't disagree, and I think we've spoken about that in the past. Except for my money, 2013 was by far the best though I know you had complicating and mitigating factors and aren't about the jam. I liked 2014 though not really the headliners. 2012 was a ball. 2015 had some collaborations, and even though it wasn't the best lineup, a lot of the EDM they brought made up for the lack of spunk (Griz, Gramatik, Adventure Club, Skrillex on the Beach <--- by the way, rumor has it that he's been working with his old band From First to Last which he had to quit due to vocal surgery, Beats Antique, Break Science Live, etc.

I agree 100%. I've never seen all 3 HO headliners in one year. I'm much more interested in the undercard and not fighting the mega crowds at those last shows. I've never not had a good time seeing the headliners but they make up such a small portion of the weekend.

You like the more southern, classic rock radio and country/America elements than what I usually want to see. But you're more in the rock vein. So am I but maybe geared towards Jam-ier rock when it comes to Hangout because that's what they used to bring and how they made a name for themselves outside of the headliners. I'd totally be willing to spend the Cash to go if they will bring less shit geared toward the masses. Idgaf about flavor of the month, grammy winning shit unless it's in a subcategory. Think about that. Who really wants to see some one-hit-dbag who won a grammy because of a hit song or some shit? Okay, don't answer that because 30,000 of the 40,000 beach kids at Hangout will. But I'm not pissing away my money on that.
Euphoria hit me up with the 4 for 3 sale today. Not going. Voodoo hit me up to tell me that the pre-sales will be coming soon. Jazz Fest will drop in January. Bonnaroo hit me up with a pre-sale email today. There's just too much better shit to waste money on Hangout. Now if I lived in Dallas or Nashville and weighted that beach vacation as part of the overall plan, it makes some sense. But I already go to the beach 8 times a year or so, so that's why I'm probably more anti than you are.

Beachbob's Hangouts in summary, and yes Ken Sumar...I like rock.
#6 - 2010 - First, cheap, fun, not the best. Enjoyed ZBB with Preservation Hall. Moon Taxi, NMA, Rodriego and Gabriella, Allsion Krauss. Left early due to storms and issues with traveling partner. #2 - 2011 - Old Crow Medicine Show hook-up, had a freaking blast! Remember dancing all night to Paul Simon with friends. Ditto Widespread Panic. Awesome lineup. Foos with Cee Lo. #4 - 2012 - My friend from OCMS played with Jack White so that rocked. RHCP with my son was fun. DMB was so-so. Gary Clark, Big Freedia, Coheed and Cambria, and a boatload of good bands. #1 - 2013 - By far my favorite. I lived on the front row of the main stage. Gov't Mule, Black Crowes, Tom Petty, and the most amazing Thursday pre-party ever. I was wipe out by Stevie Wonder. #5 - 2014 - Probably the most relaxing and fun. Amos Lee was awesome. Modest Mouse was like a scene from "Up in Smoke". Blackberry Smoke, Black Keys, Dumpstaphunk, St Paul, many others. #3 - 2015 - Inforoo weekend. Purple House. A lot of fun hanging with friends including Nashville crew and Jeff the Brotherhood. Foos, Beck, Galactic, Drive by Truckers, very deep undercard. 2016 - Family issues kept me at home. Not very excited about HLs or undercard. Maybe Jason Isbell (saw him at Roo) and Lenny Kravitz. 2017 - I hope sparkysarah is right on with this being the overdue year for excellent lineup.
After Krisplettuce told me "I wish" (the lineup would suck) I was trying to think of anything that would get me to hangout at this point, and it's tough to figure a lineup that would get it with the 16 format. As close as I can get (and it's Goldenvoice not Huka) would have to include Muse, String Cheese Incident, maybe Chance or Kendrick (Snoop won't be there unless it's a setup by GSPD), Plant, Soulive, Karl Denson's Tiny U or even DJ Williams Projekt from KDTU family tree, M83, Umphreys or Tribe, John Butler Trio, GRiZ, Tauk (and not at the preparty). Shit that's all I have. I already know based on last year that probably less than 20% of the lineup will be musically interesting, so it's really going to have to be good to pique my interest.

Thats basically a dream Hangout lineup at this point. It might make me go.

I could get amped for a Hangout with most of those Ken Sumar. Muse, Plant, Kendrick, Umph, Trio, String Cheese Incident, Tauk, Soulive, KD's Tiny U, GRiZ, ship...LOL, I can go for some Kendrick. I grew up with one foot in funk/soul/blues and the other in rock/southern rock/Americana. The local bands here gotta be able to play something for the ladies to move, groove, and dance to as well as Gimme Three Steps or they can't make any money. I ran the lights and roadied for a local soul/funk band for a few years and enjoyed the heck out of James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Stevie, George Benson, Stevie Ray, Wet Willie, and on and on. Since I can't play/perform that with one guitar, I look to Buffett, Isbell, Amos Lee, Stones, and Tom Petty for performance tunes. I guess that is why I enjoy hearing those genres the most done live by folks a hell of a lot better than local/me.

Yeah. Too much Huka hangover for me for it to be real. But on the off chance that they hit the sweet spots between a shitload of pop (and it's gotta be 12-15 sets I really want to see), I'll consider.
On a random hangout Facebook group I'm in, someone posted that he got a reply from their info that no date has been specified for release and that it'll be at least 2 to 3 weeks.
