re: hangout line up released - outkast, killers, black keys, jack johnson, etc

boom! purchased!

Have they put out what days bands are playing?

Any rumors?

Hopefully they'll put Modest Mouse and Avett Brothers in the spot right before the headliners on different days. Best time slot of the whole thing in my opinion, sun going down on the beach. Shins were perfect right there last year and Wilco was fricking spiritual the year before.

Family show bro, too provocative.

Can we all agree that foster the people shouldn't have a headlining spot at a festival ever?

Even better, they got tegan and Sarah

I've never been to HF, actually I've never been to a major music festival at all before, so I have some questions.

-How soon would I need to book a place that is relatively close to the stages? Obviously, they'll book fast as shite, but I mean will they be gone by this afternoon or do I have a few weeks?
-For those not as fortunate to get that close, what is it like staying a few miles away and cabbing? How hard is it to get back to the hotel after the last act of the night?
-Do the ticket prices go up over time or are they set? Likewise, can they sell out or will they sell as many as they can?

You may not even be able to book now. I know Lighthouse (which is definitely walking distance) only has a couple units left, mainly because it's massive. I would guess anything closer is sold out.

Check the shuttle map, try to get a place near a shuttle stop and buy a shuttle pass.

Ticket prices are now at the highest they will be. Single day passes could come out closer to the date, but no guarantee of that since there has been no official announcement yet.

I went in 2011 and 2012 and stayed in the same house both years and booked it about a month or 2 before the fest, people that think you're fricked if you don't book now just don't look hard enough. It was about a mile or 2 from the grounds which was about a 5 min shuttle ride. Most importantly it was right across the street from that grocery store "waves" so easy access to beer and food.
