Another Festival announcement. This time of year is so exciting. The Hangout Beach, Music and Arts Festival lineup has been announced for May 16-18, 2014 in Gulf Shores, AL. Haven’t attended this one before but have to look into it this year. What better place for a festival than the beach! Starting to get an idea of what the festival circuit is going to look like this year and this one is pretty standard. Not saying that it is not a great lineup, just no big surprises. Good to know that Outkast is going to do the circuit this year so there is no need to deal with the craziness of Coachella to see them. Also looks like Jack Johnson and Queens of the Stone Age are going to be at it all summer. And you can never go wrong with The Black Keys and The Killers to round out the headliners. Looking further down to the medium sized print Fitz and the Tantrums, Portugal. The Man, Flaming Lips and Capital Cities always entertain. Then we get to the small print which is the most exciting for me. I would definitely arrive early to see Amos Lee, Bastille, Black Lips, Bad Sun, and RDGLDGRN. Finally, DO NOT MISS Robert DeLong who blew me away at the Life Is Beautiful Festival in Vegas last fall
