I am down with this...to me its better than last year at first glance, not as good as 2015. But I still had a big time last year and expect to do the same with this lineup.
My initial list of "probably" - Mumford - haven't seen them before so will check them out - Chance - same as above - Major Lazer - seen twice, always a good time - Weezer - seen three time...always rock it. - MGMT - seen twice, once good, once bad..depends on if there is a conflict - Sigur Ros - definitely - Marshmello - fun - Band of Horses - great live band...good beach get - ASAP Ferg - yes - Franz Ferdinand - yes...have always wanted to see them - Local Natives - yes...seen twice and they are great live - Nightmre - Strumbellas - Mutemath - !!! - Shaggy
Maybe: - Young the Giant - Mac Demarco - Charli XCX - Dillon Francis - Head and Heart - Frank Ocean
No: - Twenty One Pilots - DJ Snake - Matoma - Cheat Codes
So are we assuming Snake and Marshmello are tent closers Friday and Saturday? Cus that's absolutely brutal. Major Lazer will close Surf on Saturday, Weezer and Chance will be the other nights I would think. Sigur Ros on the Main stage before Frank, 21 Pilots, or Mumford feels sooo weird. With this demographic I feel like they could easily put Sigur Ros in the tent oppo 21 Pilots and the crowd would be perfectly dispersed.
I'm at work so I haven't been able to dig into the undercard but from what I know off hand:
Sigur Ros is the only must see act.
I would like to see Mumford, Weezer, Band of Horses, The Head and the heart, Local Natives, The Strumbellas, Shaggy, Andrew McMahon, Mutemath, The Suffers.
I might see Frank Ocean, Chance the Rapper, MGMT, Young the Giant, Franz Ferdinand, Bob Moses
Straight up "Nope" would be: Twenty One Pilots, Mjaor Lazer, DJ Snake, Marshmello, Dillon Frances, Lukas Graham, Mac DeMarco
1/17 Spafford 2/7 Greensky Bluegrass 3/17 Cool Cool Cool 3/28 Ekoostik Hookah 7/10 Jason Mraz 7/11 Chris Stapleton 7/12 Red Hot Chili Peppers 7/13 Buffalo Ska Fest
Other that I would probably go to: Frank, Chance, MGMT, Dillon Francis, Franz Ferdinand, Local Natives, Shaggy, Bob Moses, Andrew McMahon, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
All the rest are just kinda meh to me. But who knows, I may end up buying a ticket depending on what Buku and Shaky Knees come out with.

There's going to be like 75 people at Sigur Ros.
That was kind of my thought but with their billing I figure they couldn't put them on a side stage but who the hell knows.
Interesting lineup. I'll be able to come to a full opinion on it later but at first glance I'm 50/50 on it. Probably gonna go anyway because HOF is a special place for me though. Weezer and MGMT are on my bucket list so they're huge.

So I'm making the schedule and I'm think right now they either cut out a stage or we're getting additions because there's not enough here to complete it
How is that even possible? They're probably one of the greatest bands to every play Hangout. They do usually sing in a foreign language (often their own). But they f'n rule. From the first time I heard Agaetis Byrjun, I was hooked. They are so fucking good. Here's the primer from 16 or 17 years ago:
You might also check on Olsen Olsen (which starts around 21:00 in the above video) or here:
Svefn-G-Englar won them some type of major achievement award for bringing together the special people to pull this off. Tiu/Tiju is a sound Icelanders make to comfort babies but can also be a shout of joy.

Last year the initial lot of the lineup included the Malibu peeps they just seperated then later on. The adds we got last year came in silence with no word from the fest. It was like bear hands and other ish.

Then they have like 8 more albums later.
as someone whose seen Yelle perform in French and Tinariwen perform in Arabic and loved them i cant get into Rios, its not gonna happen. I guess just not my style. To each their own. However i would give it a shot live if im somewhere they play.

Is that enough to get me there? I'm not sure.
Exactly. Sixteen of the first 64 (hope my count is correct) is weak in my opinion. Your list and priorities mirrored mine 100%. No American/Folk/Country so no Jason Isbell, Drive By Truckers, Steeldrivers, Sturgill, Amos Lee, and on and on. My favorite part of Hangout is pretty much a zero. Mumford, Head and the Heart, and Band of Horses will have to do I guess. I did not see Mutemath. No rock or classic rock. Zero Indie. No blues, soul, funk. Pretty much all dance, electronic, hip, and pop. Gonna have to think about this one. Not feeling this is worth $4000 for condo, gas, food and two tickets.

Ok, so for the schedule, I only did the Hangout, Surf, Boom Boom, and AXS TV (fmr. Palladia, fmr. Letting Go) Stages. If you don't see an act here it's because I couldn't fit them where it made sense or they'd have played on of the other stages. lso ignore that the Sunday still says the 22nd.

Did you seriously mock Sigur Ros into the EDM Tent?
Sigur Ros is in Foal's spot from last year so you never know. It isn't a dedicated EDM stage. I could see them closing a surf stage or having that freedom of time closing the Boom Boom.

In an attempt to have something else to do besides go home, yes.
