Yeah it's just not gonna be in the cards this year. Roo is still on the table, Lolla will happen, but it seems like there is potential for a lot of good shows this year to the point where fests may not be the way to go for me. Metallica (new album), Perfect Circle (new album, maybe), Arcade Fire, (new album), plus I'm already seeing Roger Waters. When it comes to the cost of the fest I'd be forcing the issue going this year. Not the year to do it imo.

Out. Though I will say it's more about the lack of appeal to our group than my individual thoughts on the lineup. I think the lineup is better than last year.
1) I want to do zero leg work after ne215 and I figured that shit out for the past 4 years (gathering peeps, booking condo). I'll go if I can just fly in and crash somewhere.
2) I really wonder what Middlelands festival is going to pullout. It's only a few hours away and is running a similar ren faire concept like Sound on Sound. It is 2 weeks before Hangout so I am going to choose between the two.
I'm going to buy a ticket though to possibly sell.
Leaning towards out. A couple from my group still want to do it but the cost doesn't seem to add up for me. Final decision to come when I make all my festival purchases for the year but it is looking like Sweetwater 420, Peach, Catskill Chill, Domefest (Pigeons Playing Ping Pong's Festival), Tumble Down or Levitate, and possibly one more as a family fest depending on lineups.
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
Last year had 74 acts on initial line-up + about 6 were added when the schedule came out to equal roughly 80 (not counting pre-party).
Right now, that poster has 65 which is a pretty large deficit. (10-15 depending if you count Malibu tents)
I assume either 10-15 more artists will be announced or A stage is being eliminated and the grounds will be shaken up a bit. (VooDoo had success with this move it appears) Not much info on their website. Pre Party is $50.

I think Hangout could benefit from a shake up. I don't think the BMI Stage is really worth its salt most years.
Biggest surprise for me is honestly Major Lazer instead of Kygo/Zedd/Dsiclosure for the top EDM spot. I don't understand it at all. They were just at Hangout 2 years ago and with all of the other options for the top mainstream edm slot, why would you back to that well already?
Not sure. I'll probably buy a ticket on Thursday, but it would be exclusively to see Sigur Ros again. Since they hopefully will play something else, I'll probably sell it. That makes Okee and Hangout pending with tickets in hand.
I like the Euphoria adds today, and I've been wanting to see Disco Biscuits for years. I will go to Buku, Jazz Fest, Voodoo Fest and Mexico for my neph's wedding. Everything else is fair game, but I don't have a plan for 2017 in place yet except I'll see Pretty Lights extended into New Years morning and Pharoe Monch on 1/18.

I agree. Only thing I can think of was nobody else wanted to play or isn't playing.

Honestly it wasn't a surprise. I told y'all long time ago. Major lazer new album in February wil be hotter then anything any of those you named could muster.totally down hangout ally and this time they'll be on the main stage with all their dancers and shit. Plus kygo blows.
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.
