This might be the worst lineup I've seen from a festival I like in years. Tory Lanez on the FOURTH line???
It's better than last years Hangout per almost everyone. As for Lanez, he is big now. I caught a little piece of his show at Voodoo and it wasn't terrible. Similarly, a lot of people (not meaning you) were saying Chance is a second liner or 6 or 7 but I'm surprised he was only 4. Shit moves a lot more quickly these days than some will want to admit. And I think the falls from grace are a little slower than the rises in a lot of cases.

I'm all in for 2017. VIP is still in question BUT most of my group is disappointed in the lineup this year and are talking either not goin or just hitting the beach for the week. May have some extra space.

The hate for this lineup I've seen is mostly people still salty about last year and the older folks going "BUT MUH HANGOUT!" because they don't book Tom Petty or jam anymore.
Or they blame MTV. Which is stupid because MTV doesn't even cover Hangout anymore. Last year they did was 2015, and they only did because they were contractually obligated. Goldenvoice has their own TV deal thru AXS, who also covers Coachella, Stagecoach, Firefly and all other GV Fests, thus why the Palladia stage became the AXS TV stage. If you're gonna blame someone blame GV.
I'm still on the fence. As good as some of the acts are, there is a lot of complete and total shit on here too. A LOT of it. I may have to wait and see what other festivals have to offer, but if I do that I may miss out on booking a condo within my budget. We'll see what happens.
Bob Moses is almost neopsychedelic in a way. They play instruments and are talented though a lot of it is chill.
The opening of "Tearing Me Up" reminded me a little of "Teardrop" from Massive Attack in the way that it builds, just not as dramatic and longer.
I've seen them either 2 or 3 times, and they are good live. Sometimes they have a 3rd player up with them but you will see them play several different instruments, enough vocals but more instrumental parts and the Guns N Moses costumes at Voodoo was pretty great.
Ya know, if this lineup didn't have Frank and Sigur Ros, I'd probably think it was total shit. But somehow those two names completely save what is otherwise a shit show. Also, Rainbow Kitten Surprise gives me hope that they'll be at Roo which would be awesome.

I'm still on the fence personally. My girlfriend absolutely adores Frank Ocean.. I'm way more into music then her so every year we typically do what I want to do but this year is hers. I believe the plan is to compromise and hit Panorama and this.

Just listened to about an hour of Frank Ocean's 'Blonde' on my drive home from work. Really, really, really slow but very good. Would hope that his live act is more upbeat or he is better suited for closing down the Surf stage at Sunset.

I think I like this lineup a little more than last year. That being said, we went to St Thomas last year instead and spent $2,500 that we normally spent at Hangout for the 2 of us, and had the best vacation (8 days) we've ever had. This lineup doesn't justify what we would spend going somewhere else. A lot of good bands, but I think we have to look at other options over this. Too all that are going, have a great time & I hope we see you at other Festivals this year. We're thinking Jazz Fest, Beale St., Forecastle, and Summer Fest are for certain. Looking at Mountain Jam, Newport, Voodoo, Telluride, and a couple of smaller Festivals. We are hitting the USVI or Costa Rica instead of this. Have fun everyone!!!

Forecastle, Mountain Jam and Newport are on my list for the family fest. If you hit one up, stay in touch.
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
What does it matter? I know what I like and don't like.
Yeah no hate from me of course, but you knew that. It's ultra dreamy and ethereal, and I would tell you that Champions Square 3 years ago is on the all time top 25-30 show list , and I knew all of one song they played. The music production work is super clean and the visuals were almost astounding. Sigur Ros will be the best show at Hangout this year, and should rank among Chris Cornell, Trey Band, STS9 '14, and Outkast (among others) as an all time top Hangout set. It's all good. They have me considering going which was/is otherwise unlikely.
