^^ amen. They should get a spot on whatever stage right when doors open, so when I am still crawling out of bed because I don't really care about who's playing (except Greyboy Allstars, Karl rocks)

Ah see Fun was randomly posted about on 92Zew's facebook yesterday. Something about how "if we wish hard enough maybe they'll swing by this part of the country." I don't know what time it was posted, so maybe they read this board first and then went back just to mess.
Also, regarding Fun, they have actually been around for a while and they have a sort of double fan base. They've got the new ones from those recent annoying songs, but they also have the old schoolers, the ones who have been around since the Format. I don't really care for them, but I do know the old school fans have been pretty die hard (unless they are "over" them now) so they could potentially be higher up on the bill. Not headlining but possibly higher than Cee-lo. They sell out every show when they play here (and that was before they got whatever new marketing person put them everywhere.)

I'm gonna chime in on the Aoki thing. I saw him at Ultra last year and skipped him at North Coast. His act is high energy - and the crowd ate it up at Ultra. Even though it was mid afternoon and somewhat hot, the main stage turned into a hot, sweaty, thousands-deep dance party. That said, that's kind of all it is. I watched him pretty closely, and he appeared to spend more time jumping around, riding inflatable rafts and throwing pies than really mixing. It was particularly noticeable during his remix of Pursuit of Happiness. Still, the crowd went wild and sang along. If he is at Hangout, you can bet he'll draw a crowd.

Just want to reiterate that even though I posted that stuff about Fun. playing American festivals in May, I really do hate those guys. I really really do.

Paul McCartney Muse | Mumford and Sons | Trey Anastasio Band (2 sets) The Avett Brothers | Willie Nelson | Pretty Lights | fun. Gov't Mule | Big Boi | Modest Mouse | Of Monsters and Men Steve Aoki | moe. | Kendrick Lamar Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers | Janelle Monae | of Montreal Galactic | Lucero | untz | Soulive | Mutemath Calexico | jam | Rubblebucket | untz Shovels and Rope | dude rock| Delta Rae | untz
Alternates:
replace McCartney with Petty or Dylan replace Muse with KoL replace Mule with YMSB or something else
I think this will resemble what we ultimately get.

I dig it, just not sure about Willie and Pretty Lights. Would Hangout really book 2 of Bayfest's headliners from the year prior?

Highly unlikely. Willie is also headlining one of the days of Jazzfest this year too, so there is no way Hangout will get him. Replace Pretty Lights with Deadmau5 or another big untz'er. Or maybe they get both. They got f'n Skrillex and Kaskade last year.

I didn't know Willie Nelson and Pretty Lights were at Bayfest, and I have no clue how that affects their chances. Pretty Lights was just a placeholder in that mock for a major EDM act anyway.
There will definitely be reggae on the undercard, but I didn't predict anything because that stuff's not on my radar.
EDIT: I keep forgetting Jazz Fest. Definitely no Willie, but Mutemath could definitely still show up.
I think Mule's absence on the Jazz Fest lineup almost guarantees they will be at Hangout.
Replace Pretty Lights with Deadmau5 or another big untz'er. Or maybe they get both. They got f'n Skrillex and Kaskade last year.
They also had Oakenfold and STS9 last year, and in 2011 they had Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, and Girl Talk closing out the tent on different days. They tend to book one big EDM act per day. I expect 2 pretty big names in addition to Aoki, but since that's not my scene, predicting the others is tough.
