Outkast would be a headliner at any festival in the world, but Outkast is still on hiatus. Big Boi has been talking about a possible reunion in 2014 for the 20th anniversary of their first album, but even that is just talk at this point. The original word was that both of them would put out solo albums, and then maybe Outkast would get back together, but Big Boi is on album #2 and Andre hasn't done sh*t. Headlines pop up every time either of them has something to promote, because that's a lazy go-to interview question. Every vague answer can be spun into a headline.

The last two years have been consistent enough that it's not unreasonable to talk about a Hangout "mold." Bonnaroo's lineups were eclectic enough by 2007 that nobody was really outside the realm of possibility. Hangout has been much narrower.
True, but I think they could easily change it up and get someone that doesn't fit that mold.
And I haven't seen anyone mention any reggae type bands. I imagine there will probably be a couple there this year. Slightly Stoopid, Matisyahu, The Dirty Heads, Ballyhoo, Expendables, and a lot of other similar bands are all playing the Roots festival in California the week after and most have open dates the week before. californiarootsfestival.com/category/lineup/
Snoop Lion has a big time spot at Waka, i could see him defintely being hangout material. Dont think Rebelution or Stoopid would come this soon after playing. My hopes are for Pepper, Ziggy Marley or Expendables. 311 would be rediculous on the beach as well even though they arent really reggae
I hoping for Ty Segall in some form on that under card.
Man- I saw him last week. No idea what I was going to I'm a photographer so I just went on an assignment. Wouldnt go so far to say he blew my mind - but he was great!
Why? Do you have a source? You could generally stand to be more specific, because you talk like you have actual info even when you're stating opinions.

Yea, but I'm not exactly allowed to specific. Make of that as you may.
And FTR, I'm not here for any cred and nor do I care for trolling (at least not on inforoo), so I'm not trying to mess with anybody. I'm just here to pass along what little I can and discuss the fest.

I'm not calling you a troll, but I have trouble believing statements like "Don't expect much Roo-HMF headliner-sharing." because that requires 3 conditions to be met:
1) Your source(s) know for a fact who is headlining Bonnaroo.
2) Your source(s) know for a fact who is headlining Hangout.
3) Your source(s) are accurate.
Hangout shared 3 of Bonnaroo's top 6 in 2011, but only one of Bonnaroo's top 3 in 2012. Nobody is predicting more than 2 out of Bonnaroo's expected top 4 at this point.
I can't outright tell y'all stuff (for now), but draw some conclusions on what I said might mean.
All you do is negate, though, and the only artist you have specifically mentioned as not being there is Mumford. Everything else points to Mumford. Are you willing to stake your reputation on Mumford not being on the lineup?
As for everything else, I'm assuming you're full of it unless you are willing to get more specific. Nobody knows who you are, it's not like you're jeopardizing your sources by claiming Macca/Petty/Muse/KoL will or won't be there.
Probable Headliners I want for roo/hangout - Muse - Phoenix - Elton - Macca - Beck - Petty
Probable Ones I don't - Black keys - Mumford - Kol - pearl jam - Tool - Bjork
Hopefully they listen
Also Mobile does not know shiz.
Dude. Your headliners are way off. Elton ain't happening- he has a big residency in Vegas a week before. Hes elton john he doesnt need to bust bis ass for dates anymore hes gona play his time and go on vacation. Keys are doing Jazz Fest. PJ did Deluna and MM last year- not happening. Pretty sure we have ruled out both muse and tool (although I know these have mixed emotions- but no fact based speculation therefore no probability) Bjork? Nah. No way.

Yea. If Mumford is in the lineup, I'll leave. Once the lineup comes out, I'll explain my last post.
Seriously though, it really shouldn't be that hard to draw the right conclusion from what I said.

I am talking about for both fest, all of these are possible for one or the other. Possible. Jesus McGoo Christ.

And I just explained to you why they're really not possible (at least for hangout)... They're really not

Do you mean the "aiming for the top of the circuit" post? Because unless the top line is Macca | Phoenix | The Stone Roses, it's not all that obvious what you're trying to infer.
If you can't be any more specific than that, you should maybe just keep completely quiet. Or you can PM me specifics and I'll lay off. Otherwise I'm just going to assume you know nothing, and state as much whenever you post something vague.

Nah. The "Don't expect much Roo-HMF headliner sharing" post.
I think I'll take your advice and just lay low for awhile. More trouble it seems.
That's probably for the best, because I will redirect you to my other post above....no matter how clear it seems in Troo, the Bonnaroo lineup isn't 100% obvious yet. There are too many suspect links in that chain.
If we get a Mumford-free Hangout lineup, I will be the first in line to eat crow. Otherwise, I will assume your info is bunk.

I hope mobile is right! I'd love a Mumford free lineup. Or at least a top tier mumford free. Even though they sell out everywhere they go they're still not headliner worthy in my mind (but then again- I know nothing)
I would also love a Mumford-free top line, but the basis of his argument has always been that Mumford priced themselves out of headlining smaller fest like Hangout. There's no chance in hell they would be outside of the top 3 at this fest. They were #1 overall at Sasquatch.

In the same way that they are definitely going to have a few sets of reggae type artists, you can probably expect a dusting of new orleans/funk, at most festivals and definitely with HO's location. It wont get the kids excited but preservation hall, rebirth brass band, trombone shorty, dumpstaphunk, galactic, meters? and dr. John dont seem to have scheduling conflicts. I would expect as many as two from that list, even if they have played the fest in the past.
