Hangout Festival Adds Sam Smith, Joey Bada$$, Sylvan Esso, Tove Lo & More
Alabama’s beachfront Hangout Festival would probably be a good time even if the bands were terrible — it’s a music festival on the beach — but the lineup is usually solid too, and this year’s fest is no exception. We already knew Foo Fighters, Beck, Future Islands, Father John Misty, Skrillex, Spoon, TV On The Radio, Major Lazer, My Morning Jacket, Jenny Lewis, Paramore, Toro Y Moi, and Skylar Spence (fka Saint Pepsi) were among the performers. Now a new batch of artists has been announced including Sam Smith, Joey Bada$$, Sylvan Esso, Tove Lo, Deap Vally, Jeff The Brotherhood, SNBRN, Natural Child, Floating Action, Firekid and Elliot Root. (That’s the newly updated lineup on the poster above.) Hangout is going down 5/15-17 in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and as someone who had a great time there two years ago, I recommend you purchase tickets here.
