Last night I was entertaining some clients in a box at a basketball game and one of them is a festival addict, and has a pretty high profile guy. Very rich. Works in Washington DC. No idea if the guy was just hopeful, or had real info, or what but after the beer was flowing he "let slip" that he "heard" Macca. I don't believe it at all, but I thought I'd share.

Macca has been a target for the last couple years. I think it speaks at least something if they can get him in their fourth year, especially considering a Roo crossover.

Macca on the beach would be huge! That said, just like with the 'roo lineup I try not to get overly excited about potential big name gets. That way I don't feel let down if they don't materialize.

They didn't warn us last year either. They just started releasing names.
Eh, I remember something different. We knew in advance but I don't remember how long in advance. I think they released like 3 names every half hour or 15 minutes or something?

I'm pretty sure that we knew the lineup was going to be released that night of the 7th or whatever day it was at least a week or so prior.

And Jack White was announced by several sources 4 days before they released the rest of the lineup. Pretty sure it was about then when they told us the lineup would be released starting at whatever time on a a couple of days later. No guarantee that they do anything the same every year.

We got 2 days notice that Jack White was a headliner, then another 4 days until they started dropping names and yes y'all are right we got some notice prior. So maybe we will get a Sunday announcement??

The lineup will most likely be announced on Tues, Feb 5 or Tues, Feb 12. There is a chance it goes to the following Tuesday as well I suppose. I'll be interviewing either AJ or Shaul in the coming weeks. Are there any legitimate questions you'd like for me to ask? I'll take the best one yall can come up with.

Is there any validity in the notion that the city of GS has a vote/say in which bands play the festival?

Why haven't there been any African American hip hop acts over the years of this fest? Is the city of Gulf Shores scared of something if they actually booked a black hip hop act instead of white rap acts such as Matisyahu, Yelawolf, Mac Miller, or even Slightly Stoopid? The organizers clearly want hip hop filling in some time slots down there, so why all white acts so far and not any of the folks who, you know, created the genre??

I'm white by the way. Just wanting to know.
The Roots played in 2010, so that's not completely true. And didn't Kid Cudi fall through at the last minute? The better question is asking why they suck at booking hip hop. I'm thinking that both Big Boi and Kendrick Lamar are strong possibilities for this year's lineup, though, so that might not be relevant after the lineup drops.

I'm sorry fellas. I feel like an asshat. I thought it was a legit question until you filled me in on that first hangout.
That being said, it has been 3 years since Gulf Shores has seen a black hip hop artist. I'm not trying to insinuate anything. I'm just honestly curious.
In regards to as to whether Gulf Shores has any say in what bands get booked, the answer is no. IIRC, on pain in the butt councilman did propose that the list of bands should be approved by said council, but Zislin straight up said no.
Sometimes it takes a millionaire local business owner to stand up to idiot local politicians.
