Reid, what do you do for a living? Kind of reconsidering my life choices here. I need to get off the net and be somebody, and I might as well model myself after a winner like you.
Thanks man. I actually quit my job today so I can work on my post count 'round here. Trying to reach OG status by summer.
Hellz yea, Wanee>Jazzfest>Hangout>Roo> attempt to save money
You should focus on that Tame Impala show. I know thats all I can think about. Kinda...
Got Dark Star Orchestra tonight....first things first!
GATH is the best sound of small venue I've been to, including HOB NOLA. Super stoked! We're gonna get drunk at Terrapin Brewery before the show Saturday.

Got a friend possibly floating me some tickets for GATH tame. Got mine for tabby, but I'm really hoping that the ath show comes through as well. Duo de twang is coming to t-west
I'm very happy today. I was extremely disappointed last year when Hangout's lineup was essentially "Roo-lite". This year, aside from Petty, Lamar, and Passion Pit; the two fests are very distinguished. One has Pretty Lights; the other has Bassnectar...which I love. Having Petty at Hangout just means I don't have to stick around Sunday night at Bonnaroo, which is great.

That T West show will be sick, but I'll be seeing them at Wanee that weekend

Tomorrow is a week and we haven't heard anything from HMF about the 3rd headliner or any other acts. I think all that Stevie Wonder talk was garbage but we will see. Still hoping to get some good ole fashion Widespread Panic at the Hangout they're just what the lineup need. Anyone know when we might could expect to hear anything?

have the rolling stones been ruled out? hearing things from people who don't get into the festival scene but live down at the gulf. not a "source" as you guys call it, but rumbles are getting louder. take this as you will, but I'm just curious if they've been disproved. and no I'm not searching through 116 pages of this forum.

Rolling Stones have been ruled on account of insaneability and the fact that Coachella didn't get them. No specific "source" ruled them out, but in all of my infinite malarky wisdom, they're not happening in any possible way.
widespreadted- I'd be stoaked to see Panic there, but with Trey, Mule, moe. and the werks they may already have jam bases covered. If they add panic then they're pretty much a jam fest, which I am totally cool with.
Hangout can recover by adding a reasonably acceptable headliner plus at least six or seven solid undercard bands.
For example: Headliner+WSP(2Sets)+QOSTA+Avett Bros.+Yeah Yeah Yeahs+OCMS+MGMT etc.
I think that would give the perception a big bounce back.
Just wishful thinking though.
They just need one outstanding headliner...and Stevie Wonder, despite his legendary status, ain't it. With Stevie, they're going to have to add a couple good mid tier acts. Hell who am I kidding...the fest sold out in two weeks last year. They'll do just fine regardless.
I don't think its Stevie. I think Petty is the legacy and we're getting someone straight out of left field. Hopefully tomorrow is the day
Is this just you saying this based on nothing at all? There were several sources that stated Stevie was given an offer...so unless you have information that says otherwise, i'd stop acting like Stevie isn't going to happen.

Jesus man. I was giving an opinion, like everyone else. I like these boards but people can be such quacks sometimes. Sorry for having an opinion man, haven't been following the boards that much lately.
and saying "I THINK" isn't me sitting on a soap box acting like he's not going to happen. Its an opinion, based on quacking nothing at all

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think it is going to be Stevie either.

My apologies. It just seemed like you knew something that you weren't sharing, and I assumed you already knew about the Stevie thing. Didn't mean to sound hostile.

No worries, sorry for spitting back at you there. I know nothing at all, the only connections I have is a intern at ticketmaster who can't tell me anything and an "important musical friend" in Chicago, and he is hard to get ahold of.

Who are all these sources and why do none of them have names. We have all been told "several sources" report an offer was made to Stevie Wonder but have not heard who these sources are. I love some Stevie Wonder I was raised on some Stevie Wonder and wouldn't mind him being the 3rd headliner but I think all the talk about him being #3 is just talk but we will see soon. I am just as eager to see the other act HMF signs cause the bottom half of the lineup needs a lot more improvement then the top half. I honestly know like 1 maybe 2 names on the bottom half and thats the part of the lineup that needs some improving.
In my opinion!! Possible Headliners: Stevie Wonder~Widespread Panic~Guns'nRoses~Pearl Jam~The Black Keys~ Allman Bros.~ (& if we all pray real hard) Outkast
Undercard Possibilities: Alabama Shakes, North Mississippi Allstars, Old Crow Medicine Show, Skrillex, Drive-By Truckers, Willie Nelson, ZZ Top, Umphreys
The bonnaroo lineup does nothing for my friends and I (fight me), so it's looking like Hangout again for me. Need to go ahead and book a condo, and I was looking for some suggestions. We stayed at a Meyer condo that was the furthest stop east on the shuttle line (can't remember the name, phoinex maybe?). I'd like to be within resonable walking distance to the venue and keep the price around 200/person. Any help would be much appreciated.

And the oldest one in our group is 24 I believe. I think I remember that being an issue last year.

I'm not sure what Hangout is waiting for regarding the third headliner announcement. Unless they really don't have anybody, which is a scary thought this late in the game. I am a Hangout supporter and I am looking forward to having an awesome time on the beach this year, but I am very disappointed with how the lineup is being handled this year. The lack of communication leads to unrealistic speculation and ultimately makes the entire festival look like a bunch of amateurs.

I've started to believe the same thing. I've been been the past two years. Regardless of the music, it's always a great time. However, they are really stringing us along with the lineup this year.
I'm happy just with KoL and Bassnectar on the beach...that alone would have gotten me there this year...but yes, they are showing some negotiating weaknesses here for sure. I'm sure it's no easy tasks trying to negotiate headliners...but if Bonnaroo with over twice the capacity/roster can put out a full lineup, so should Hangout.
I still think they'll sell out pretty easily though. Anyone have some scoop on where negotiations are right now? I know some users earlier knew about the Stevie thing...maybe an update?

I think they will sell out once the third headliner is announced regardless of who it is. It really makes you wonder if they have a plan, or if they are just trying to get any deal done at this point.
