I love how they got "Sal Vulcano" but couldn't book Q, Murr, and Joe as well. At least that would be an interesting comedy act for the few Impractical Joker fans.
This might be the worst major festival lineup of 2017. This makes Hangout look good.
I disagree that it makes Hangout look good. Krisplettuce was saying the same thing on the Hangout thread, and before it spreads like typical groupthink...
They are almost equally poor though Sasquatch has some midcarders that are probably more interesting than Hangout's. Hangout has Mumford and Sons, but they don't really do anything for me. So they have that one bigger act. Then they have Sigur Ros and Weezer. Both share 3 of the other Top 4 from Hangout (Twenty One Pilots, Frank Ocean and Chance). So that's pretty much a wash. Sasquatch has The Shins, Phantogram, Bonobo, Big G, Bomba Estereo, Bob Moses, Charles Bradley, Vulfpeck, Car Seat Headrest, Catfish and the Bottlemen, American Football, The Oh Sees, Jagwar Ma, Freedia. In comparison, Hangout has: Weezer, Sigur Ros, Band of Horses, Ferg, Mac Demarco, Shaggy and Warpaint. They also have Major Lazer who are generally terrible. DJ Snake, Marshmello, Charli XCX, Lil Yachty, Cash Cash, Louis the Child and Snakehips. That reads like a who's who of shit you couldn't pay me to see.
In the end, Hangout gets at least a D if not a D- whereas Sasquatch is probably just a generic "D". Both lineups are poor. Both are lineups I'd only attend if I lived within driving distance.

I don't get it, how the hell does Live Nation keep fucking up like this? I'd imagine booking a festival isn't easy but c'mon, it's like they're not even trying. Live Nation is a successful promoter, are they seriously that out of touch?

Its almost like they book every festival the exact same and I think that's the problem. I don't really see festivals having their own identity anymore.

You left out two of Hangout's better undercard acts: Franz Ferdinand and Local Natives.

I don't like either one, so I am going off what I think. I should have emphasized that it's "my opinion" though I thought that was clear.
