Hey everyone, first time posting on this subforum, and I'm really hoping I heard this wrong, but...
I spoke with a gentleman recently who works high in an entertainment company, and mentioned they recently purchased multiple music festivals around the country. Two festivals he mentioned were Voodoo and Hangout. He talked at length about how EDM is a main focus of theirs, and will continue to be featured at festivals (no surprise there). But while talking about Hangout, he mentioned going after a different demographic with Kenny Chesney.
There's no way Kenny Chesney would perform at Hangout, would he? His tour dates don't make sense, as he's in Alabama a month prior, and is in Milwaukee May 18. I'm really hoping I heard him wrong, and that he just said that he was working with Kenny Chesney and his people, but not specifically for Hangout. I've never wanted to be more wrong.
Welcome friend. I believe that the Tortuga festival, being headlined by Kenny Chesney, is run by some of the same people as Hangout. You got a couple of the details mixed up, but that's the gist of it.

Kenny Chesney is playing a festival in Ft. lauderdale that Huka is doing. He must have been talking about that. Kenny Chesney WILL never play the Hangout.
By the way, what time last year was the initial announcement?

Tht sounds familiar. Oh yeah....I said the same thing an hour ago.

I can't comment on the Chesney at Hangout thing, but our company does a lot of work with City Park in NOLA and this is definitely the focus of Voodoo (as if it wasn't already obvious). The second main stage is pretty much never coming back, with the focus being making Le Plur the second main stage. Probably not news to those of you who've been going the last few years, but it was interesting hearing it straight from the horse's mouth.
"I see what point you're making Matt. As solid said, top 5 legendary acts is way too ambiguous. A 60's Legendary 5 would be Dead, ABB, Neil Young, Macca, Santana."
Hetty, hasn't MattBama taught you anything? Macca is not legendary and can't headline. 3/4 of the band are not playing with him anymore!

^^ you're right solid! He was just a principal songwriter for the Beatles, nothing important. Bob Weir and Phil Lesh have no business playing GD songs they cowrote without JERRRRRRrrrryYYYYY maaaaannnnnnnnnnn either.
I did see Ringo all star band last summer on 7/4 and it was a great time.

I hate knowing very little about the expected lineup. I've already got my VIP tics and condo, and I'm just kind of crossing my fingers. This would be my first year, and the first year for the five other people coming with me. We're pretty much locked in at this point.

I think we all read the writing on the wall, but I appreciate hearing it straight from the horse's mouth as you said.
I know a lot of Voodoo fans dislike the trend towards EDM. I am an EDM fan, but another reason I'm glad to see an EDM focus at Voodoo is so it can continue as a going concern. There is a lot of competition out there for festivals, and Voodoo fans are generally more critical of Voodoo's choices then other festival fans are (with good reason). So if EDM acts sell tickets, I'm all for it, especially when I can see Neil, Jack White, and Metallica in the same weekend.
They need to work out the sound on the EDM stage. I know its a compromise, keeping it loud enough without too much sound bleed into the main stage area, but last year if you weren't up front, the sound was too quiet to be engaging, kind of like the Which stage. This wasn't an issue when the EDM stage was where it was in 2011.
I agree. I don't visit the Le Plur stage often, but I welcome its expansion if that's what's helping keep Voodoo Fest viable. And with Le Plur attracting a sizable crowd, we didn't have to camp out for a great spot at any of the main stage headliners. I'm liking that, as I always hate sacrificing quality side stage acts to post up.

What they need to do is put Le Plur back where it was in 2011 and move Le Carnival to where Le Plur was last year. That will resolve the sound bleed issue I think and it will keep those kids on the other side of the gotdamn festival.

Lady Gaga COULD play Hangout, but do we really want her there???
As for the Le Plur thing, it does make sense in "making the fest more viable", but myself like many others were going to Voodoo back when there weren't that many US festivals so we prob expect to much.
Voodoo used to be so amazing. I still love it but nothing will top being a young stupid kid there.

Anyways, Avett's look pretty likely. They are in Alpharetta on 5/17 with no more dates till NY on 5/24. I would say that makes them a Saturday mainstage subheadliner lock.
If they are going to play it will be Sunday. They added Nashville on 5/18.

Heard from one of my friends who knows good sources that Atoms for Peace are playing. Makes sense and would be awesome
So you're unaware of Thom Yorke talking about how AFP won't even be playing at Glastonbury because the tour won't be ready yet? Somehow I think that rules them out for Hangout. Word is that AFP won't start touring until late summer or early fall. I'd love to be wrong though.

Thanks for the clarification. I was so thrown off by him saying Kenny Chesney and Hangout in the same festival that I didn't even confirm what he had said. So much for putting my journalism degree to use.
At least, with the rumors of him playing other festivals owned by the same group, people won't think I'm too nuts.
Heard from one of my friends who knows good sources that Atoms for Peace are playing. Makes sense and would be awesome
How confident are you in this? You wouldn't be bullin' would ya? Atoms for Peace would be about as good as it gets for me at Hangout. Never seen anything like that in my three years there.

I think there's a decent chance Yorke was bullsh!tting, and it's possible they might play a small run of shows before a full tour. But I doubt Hangout would be able to land them. Maybe if they offered them 7 figures for a Friday headlining slot or something.
