I actually like that this is so secretive. No leaks, nothing. That takes a lot of EFFORT. This kind of attention to detail makes me think its going to be killer.
Ok asked the guy on twitter if he knew any names but he gave me this little teaser (what an asshole right) "@___JordanBarnes I'm not allowed to say but a few biggies may return!"
I don't expect the reggae lineup to expand, but Im assuming there will be 3 or 4 bands there again. Rebelution was a fun set to kick off the fest last year and I enjoyed Tribal Seeds. It was an 11:00 am set I think and hardly anyone was there.

That's a big change from yesterday when you went all...
Idk how legit this is but on twitter a guy posted "If anyone wants to go to a festival this summer Hangout is going to be by far the best one, my dad is friends with the owner (Shaul) and said the lineup is incredible"
I'm fishing for something/anything here.
I don't mean to be a negative nacy here, but a girl from southern Mississippi on twitter with the name Long Hair Hippie that makes tweets like: "Mood setting country music >>>>>>>> southern girl probs. those deep voices just get me" "I loved Miley Cyrus when she had long brown hair. Short blonde hair is NOT my thing" etc MIGHT not have the best opinion when it comes to music. and I really hope: "i can't give much away, but some big names from last year may be returning!" means something like SCI, Gogol Bordelo, or Alabama Shakes and NOT f'n Edward Sharpe.

I just don't believe it at all, just like the "festival promoter/producer" BS
If they're trying THIS HARD to keep it off every airwave/internets in the country- no way the powers that be are keeping their mouths shut I doubt that Shaul is running around spilling the news to "longhairedhippie"'s dad, who then posts that she knows "something" on twitter.
Nah.
And what you said wronginus- I wouldn't trust that judgement even if I did believe this bafoonery.
The fact that "random insiders" are popping up and giving these vague clues about an epic lineup, makes me think that it IS hangout itself just trying to have people keep some hope (but hey, thats the conspiracy theorist in me)
Yeah she's definitely just trying to get some twitter attention. I was just stating my opinion on the possibility that even if she did know something, I wouldn't take her word on it being "OMG BEST FEST EVAH!"
so, we have 3 months to the fest...and only 3 confirmed artists: Aoki, Delta Rae and Moon Taxi (only one I personally give AF about)
Pablo- if you're lurkin- tell the big boys at Hangout that the masses are growing restless.
EDIT:: and I just gotta tell you guys I am glad a forum like this exists. If hangout's facebook was my only place to look for info I'd have surely stabbed my hand by now. Between the "positivity/negativity" fighting wall posts, that diver dude who thinks Huka has just gone Enron on us, and the morons claiming that "tom petty paul mccartney phish roger waters AND daft punk" are all going to be hangout headliners- I am just glad theres some (mostly) logical people to talk this shit over with.

Problem Dog, let's not forget about the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They're comin' back to play at Merriweather Post Pavillion on May 11 after an overseas tour. There's currently no other dates scheduled after that show in Maryland. They could easily begin a trek down South after that show and end up in Gulf Shores for Hangout.
They are also releasing new material in April. I think they're staring Hangout straight in the face. You feelin' this?

Couple more fests lineups came out today, nothing really THAT close to hangout but could give us an idea of a few bands as possibilities. NW String Summit, LA & Austin Psych Fest, Euphoria.

i saw Moon Taxi play in Mobile a few months back when they opened for Matisyahu. First time I had heard them but they definitely made me a fan that night.
^^ Moon Taxi opened for the Funky Meters at the Krewe De Bienville Mardi Gras ball on Joe Cain day in like 2011. Open bar, and the local head crew took over the dance floor. There were like 100 other people there, for the entire civic center. Shitt was f'n awesome.
That show opening for Matisyahu was really good too. I made it about 30 minutes through Matisyahu though, had to bail because I was too drunk from beerfest.

I'm done with additions for tonight, but maybe. If they end up being the mystery headliner at Governors Ball, I'd say that increases their chances.

Moon Taxi are some grinders. Love those guys. I've seen them open for Mule at Sloss, at Workplay, at The Shed in Mobile, at Hangout. Each and everytime, no matter the crowd size, no matter the venue, whatever: they rock hard.

Oh I think that mystery governor's ball band is gonna bigger than the YYYs. Apparently that info is gettin' released tomorrow according to their facebook page. Enough speculation for me today as well. It's doing nothing but making me question my well being. Have a good night everyone.

That Mule show at Sloss was my first time seeing them. Mule at Sloss = heat

It's probably Mumford, who is playing their first of two dates in NYC tonight. The other date is next week, but I think it's already sold out.

I see it being some off the cuff addition for that Governor's ball spot. An artist that not many folks were expecting. Like a Justin Timberlake...or a Destiny's Child..or an Atoms for Peace. Something along those lines.

I was there, to see FM of course, but Moon Taxi really impressed me. Also that night before the set Art Neville looked directly into my eyes and just stared. I think he saw straight into the void of my soul.
Having said that, I was totally uninspired by Moon Taxi when they opened for Umphrey's over NYE. Everyone else thought it was awesome, so I'm the odd man out. It came across as just lame jammy rock with lame jammy vocals. I'd be willing to give them another shot because IIRC they brought the funk at the Krewe de Bienville. I wanted more funk and soul, and I didn't get that at the Tabernacle.
