Upon further analysis, I feel this line up is more lacking than last year overall.
It's really similar for me. Probably better at the top, worse on the bottom.
I could see that...not as much meat in the middle portion this year...and even though I am finding some stuff I like down there an argument could be made that it is weaker at the bottom
After six really good years at Hangout, it will be hard to replace. Tortuga is too country, can't drive there in less than 8 hours, I'm not as familiar with the set up, I want an equal blend of genres and musicians like Hangout 2010 to 2015. Maybe this new Hangout will crash and burn and go back to the former format. Maybe someone between San Destin and Orange Beach will compete with Hangout for a broader range of party, beach, and music fans. Plenty of beach to pull that off. Perdido Key and Orange Beach are in a position to host a 35,000 person music festival.
This is super unlikely imo. Considering the size of the fest, the setting for it, and the demo they're going for, it's a perfect match. It does suck because it's not like 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2015 didn't sell well. I don't see why they couldn't blend it like those past years but it is what it is.

Bob, have you ever been to Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin, TN? Based on your taste in music, it sounds like it might be up your alley.

Of the artists I didn't know that I've been able to check out so far:
Will See: Bob Moses - electro jams Rainbow Kitten Surprise - folky indie jams White Reaper - Garage Rock jams
Semi-Interested: The Strumbrellas - seems like they would be great live
Uninterested: Lukas Graham - When I listened to him I thought his voice sounded familiar and then I realized he did that "7 Years" song and this went right into this pile. Rufus Du Sol Louis the Child Gryffin
HARD PASS: Lil' Yachty - Had somehow never heard of him before the lineup announcement. Still wish I didn't. Cash Cash - God no

You know a great musician once said, "They say stay in your lane boy, but we go where we want too. They say this thing is a highway, but will they be alive tomorrow?" -Danny Pilots
Wow so much hate for this lineup. I just don't get it. It's 70-80 bands performing live music on the beach. 2014 was the best year in my opinion lineup-wise. Of the 4 years I've attended the festival starting in 2014 this is the second best lineup. The days of 2013 and before with the jam bands is gone. I don't know what to tell you. Lineup is still strong and I will have a blast again. To say you aren't going to go because of 21 Pilots I just cannot wrap my head around
There is enough on there to keep me occupied for a weekend but I would rather hit up a couple fests for $600 a piece than drop $3k on this for two people. I despise 21 Pilots but its more of a cost/benefit analysis for me than only lineup related.
How are you dropping $3k for two people? Just curious....maybe we have a steal for our condo, but ours is $200/night, and we split that 6 ways...it fits us all comfortably. So, $35/night each for 4 nights. Its right on the beach on Orange and we take the shuttle in...easy peesy. So our costs are approx..
$300/each - ticket and shuttle pass $140/each - condo $150/each - groceries, beer, liquor, supplies $225/each - in festival drinks, food, etc.

So, we are going for about $825 - $850 per person
I have a "wife' so I'm paying for everything for both of us when we go to fest/trips/etc.:
Condo: $520 (Thurs-Tues, got a great deal) Tickets: $600 Rental Van: $700 (others might chip in on this but not guaranteed) Gas: $400 Overnight in Nashville on the way down: $150 Spending in Nashville: $100 Overnight in Louisville or equivalent on the way home: $100 Spending in Lousiville: $50 Food/beer for the condo: $100 Eating at fest or restaurants: $100 Drinks in fest: $200 Merch: $80
These are estimates but that alone totals $3100. Might have less in a couple spots, more in others, somethings I didn't account for, etc.

...had the same after bouncing around through the lineup a little RKS - definite White reaper- probably Bob moses - maybe

Porter Robinson (Live)
I could see that happen. His set with madeon at acl was great. Looking at last year poster def. a chance of some upper midrange artists for pre party. Forgot about the rage sets rom taxi, its not shown on poster and fredia too.

I haven't been there yet, but I am planning on attending in 2017. You are correct regarding my taste in music and their lineup.
Regards the cost of Hangout roofoot and moten33, I have 6 years of experience. I either go by myself or pay 95% of the tab for son and friends. I am lucky if someone will buy one grocery bill or lunch. Not complaining. Comes with success I guess. I stay a week. That saves me a little as I usually receive 7 days for 5. Then there is my son's ticket. Gas there and back and around is $200. Food is $100 a day for me easy as this is vacation and I love, love, love Gulf seafood. Then there are the drinks, t-shirts, and other accessories. It adds up. If I make a trip to Foley or stock up or Pensacola for booze, my trip could cost $3,000-5,000.
I can drive to Nashville, see a great show, sleep over in my bed at my son's apartment, nice dinner for about $200. Pilgrimage Fest probably less than $500. I can stay with my cousin in Pensacola and have a great weekend doing the local thing for about $500. It is all about cost vs benefit.
In the days of my youth...Zeppelin lyrics?...I could do the shared stuff, cheap liquor, and have a great time for about $800 too. Enjoy your youth my friend!
No doubt there are a few performers on the lineup worthy of a listen. Mumford, Weezer, The Head and the Heart, Band of Horses, Franz Ferdinand (my son listened to him to the point I got hooked on a couple of his songs), Shaggy, Local Natives, and The Strumbellas. If I got really hammered, a couple of the DJs might fuel a buzz. Otherwise...meh. But again, I'm not young, just got married, and living that wild and crazy life like I did years ago. Ya'll have fun.
Domestic partner doesn't sound as nice. Haha. We are legal registered domestic partners and have lived together for 10 years and have kids with no plans of marriage to be specific.

finally done browsing the card in full. I dont think this even compares to last years for my taste. In 2016 including bands i had already seen i was still really excited to see about 15-20 acts and also made me become a fan of about 10 bands i wasnt familiar with even though i didnt get to see everyone.
for 2017 the only act that i would be excited for the same way i was for acts like Flo, RTJ, RageTaxi, Revivalists, P. The Man, Cage would be Chance, after him its a decent decline in interest. I would really like to see Mumford, Franz Ferdinand, Shaggy, Weezer, Shankeships, Cash Cash, Head and Heart but im not upset about missing any of them except Shaggy of course.
the only acts i didnt already know i enjoyed today were Rainbow Kitty, Foreign Air, Le Youth, and the Hunna. Mac Demarco was alright too.

Gotcha - I see now you are coming down from NYC. Makes sense. And I like how you put wife in parenthesis.
