I've wanted to go the past two years but haven't been able to due to early summer obligations in my grad program. A friend of mine who's also in my program is in the same boat. So we committed to doing it next year!
We're looking to go ahead and book a condo this week. Any recommendations as to where to book? We want one that holds about 10 people. We'll figure out who the other 8 are later.

Anyone not listed either had no dates on their page, or had all 3 dates listed.
UPDATE ON ARTIST RUMORS (2/8): **** Thanks to problem dog for compiling this! ****
Headliner Rumors:
Mumford is happening. They've been rumored since Black Friday, Caddy's source claims they'll be there, and they headline Sasquatch the weekend after (Hangout and Squatch shared Jack White as a headliner last year). It's time to accept that one, if you haven't already.
The other 2 headliners will likely be pulled from the following 3 groups:
Legacy
- McCartney is the big rumor. Too many rumblings from too many different places to ignore, but still seems hard to believe. Confirmed for Bonnaroo, so he'll be in the US this summer. - Tom Petty. Rumored since Black Friday, also a major Bonnaroo rumor. Fits this festival like a glove. However, NotMitchelBade's friend heard from his AC source that Petty is not playing Hangout in favor of playing Bonnaroo. - Bob Dylan. Rumor started on page 28 of this thread when a one post user named rainforla heard he was headlining Sunday. Always on tour. - Sound City Players. Wildcard. Grohl is a Hangout alum, and SCP would appeal to the older crowd that buys the pricey VIP packages. Their touring plans are still vague, though, and they haven't popped up on any festival lineups yet.
Major Rock Act
- Muse. Rumored since Black Friday, and they have a gap in their tour dates. Some people doubt their ability to pack up their gear and get to the UK by 5/22. - Kings of Leon. They are headlining Bottle Rock the weekend before, and Governors Ball in early June. - Janes Addiction. Originally booked for 2011 and billed 4th, but dropped out before the official lineup release. Billed 5th at Bottle Rock the weekend before, right behind the 4 nightly headliners. They would be a soft headliner, but Hangout might want to go cheap if they actually landed Macca. - Atoms For Peace. I'm only including this because a user named elgringoloco passed along a rumor on page 23. I would be shocked if this happened. It's debatable whether or not they would headline, but I think they would be an acceptable soft headliner similar to Janes.
Major Jam Act
- Furthur. Headlining Bottle Rock the weekend before. - Phil Lesh and Friends. One of Mountain Jam's headliners in early June. - Trey Anastasio Band. I don't think they are top 3 unless Hangout books Macca, but you never know. TAB headlined Hangout in '10, and they have gone after Phish ever since. Headlining Summer Camp later in the month. Phish was one of the 4 big rumors after Black Friday, but there have been no signs that they will be active in May. - Allman Brothers. No dates listed beyond Wanee in April, although Songkick has them listed for Mountain Jam. - Help me out here. Are there any other jam bands big enough to headline? WSP is probably out because of Jazz Fest. Phish seems unlikely to be touring at that point.
Undercard Rumors:
- Avett Brothers. Alpharetta on 5/17, Nashville on 5/18, then a gap until 5/24. They will almost certainly be the Sunday pre-headliner. Hangout alums.
- Delta Rae. Leaked via Pollstar.
- Moon Taxi. Self-confirmed.
- Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers. Seemed likely due to a Tyron, NC, date on 5/17, but now they're playing a festival in Pennsylvania on 5/18. They still have a gap until 6/1 in Virginia.
- Steve Aoki. Announced tour dates that included Hangout, then quickly removed the date from his website.
- Gov't Mule. They will be at Beale St in early May, but not at Jazz Fest that same weekend as expected. Could be because of a radius clause with Hangout? Also playing Mountain Jam. Hangout vets.
- fun. Mostly speculative, but they have a gap in May, and seem like the kind of band that would book festivals like Hangout this summer.
- Lucero. Tour dates end in either Atlanta or Memphis the weekend of 5/4 (playing festivals in both cities, daily lineups unavailable at this point). Exactly the kind of undercard band Hangout tends to book.
- The Breeders. Tour dates end in Atlanta on 5/15. I remain skeptical that Hangout would book them.
- Built to Spill. Tour dates end in Utah on 5/12, but they will be back West by 5/24 for Sasquatch.
- Bassnectar. Dates end in Chattanooga on 5/12.
- Shovels & Rope. Rumor originated by everydayperson, who got it from a source that apparently knows things.
- They Might Be Giants. Australian tour ends 5/11, US tour picks up in Indianapolis on 5/30. Hangout likes artists who can pull double duty on the kids' stage.
- Old Crow Medicine Show. Opening for Avett Brothers on 5/17, no date scheduled after. Hangout vets.
- James Blake. Tour dates end in Atlanta on 5/14, but probably not someone Hangout would book.
- Fall Out Boy. They are in Ohio on 5/17, with a gap until a 5/21 date in Pittsburgh. That's the longest gap in their US tour. Doesn't seem like a good fit, though. Paramore has a similar gap, so it's more likely both will end up at a Bamboozle kind of fest.
- Crosby, Stills & Nash. Florida on 5/17, and Charlotte on 5/19. Tons of regional dates in May, though.
- Band of Horses. US tour ends 5/11 in Charlotte, then a gap until Primavera in Spain on 5/24.

And wow, you're like a walking, talking infomercial to turn people away from Pearl Jam and Ohio State, aren't you? Before you started posting here I quite liked Pearl Jam and was indifferent towards OSU, now I find myself wishing that Eddie Vedder falls down a mine shaft or that Columbus is infested with locusts

David Bowie would give me a heart attack. I'm just trying to be optimistic. We all know that either Jack Johnson or Jimmy Buffett is going to end up being one of the gotdamn headliners. They threw a big turd in the punchbowl this year with DMB that has generated so many derp fans on their fb asking for garbage. Stinkin Park will probably be on there too. Roll Tide?

Sadly, I think the modern rock band spot could go to Kings of Leon. I don't want it, but I think it's going to happen. I would take Muse instead though.
Pearl Jam- Phish- Muse/Kings of Leon/The Black Keys Macca- Pearl Jam- Phish would be my first choice. I don't see Prince playing the beach.
I think Phish is very likely next year. I also could see Soundgarden since Chris Cornell made an appearance this year and apparently had a great time. I would tend to think Green Day maybe the 3rd one since they are likely to be festival heavy next year. I also expect to see the festival continue having a big electronica bill since it has been very popular the last 2 years. I could see a group like Justice getting a big slot next year like STS9 this year

They will likely go after Phish again for next year since they've been trying to book them for the last 2 years. Phish keeps turning them down, though, so who knows.
would be awesome. but like Longinus the Jack Johnson tirdage is inevitable. might as well be next year. just put him on sunday so I can go home early.
Is it just me, or does it seem like Jack Johnson's popularity has kind of faded away? Maybe a new album will change that. Put him in a pre-HL spot if he is going to be there. I don't see him on the same level as Foo Fighters/Paul Simon/RHCP/DMB.
Post by Sgt. Blotter on Jun 1, 2012 13:46:11 GMT -5
Jack Johnson is so lame. I really hope they don't bring that crap in. I would count on Phish playing.
Muse sucks ass live, overproduced garbage like that RHCP show.
Kings of Leon? Seriously? That dude had a meltdown and BLEW IT hard. They're dunzo, nobody cares anymore. They were the chosen ones for a while by the record industry and they were shoved down everyone's throats even though they in no way deserved it.
I think Bruce is reasonable, as is Tool or Soundgarden. No way they get Pearl Jam with DeLuna having them this year.
I'm gonna go ahead and call OutKast. They have a new album coming out in the fall and they are gonna tour. Everyone wants them, I think they will be heavy hitters on the festi circuit next year.....Coachella, Hangout, Roo, Lolla
I def think Hangout will get Mars Volta next year.
