Music Festival

I meant Blur

I just heard the rumour......

The Hangout website has a slot on the "Lineup" page for another headliner... TBA, they say.

Oddly enough, in this slot, it looks like there was a name there, but it is "Blurred" to where you cannot read it.

Well spotted Sherlock :-)

The size of the blurred bit means it's got to be a decent sized name. Hmmmm

I wouldn't mind seeing the Rolling Stones again.

Never seen them, but what about Fleetwood Mac ?

I don't think I have seen Fleetwood Mac. They would be good if the group reunited for 2013 with Stevie Nicks, like has been rumored. (pun intended)

The rumor is hard to believe trying to get one more close to the source

Yes the Stones

But they have not done a festival in over 20 years and 35k to 40k

In attendance doesn't add up but that's the rumor mill

I have seen the original Fleetwood Mac that would be a coup also!

It would be good. I was so wasted when I saw the Stones in the Superdome. Maybe this time I will remember more...

My wife had a good laugh.

"Yeah, the Stones... right!"

It's not gona be the Stones, that's ridiculous, however Fleetwood Mac are reforming, bringing out an album and touring this year. But again they are(or were) a really big act, just doesn't sound right. And Eric I bet the band were probably as wasted than you when you saw them that probably evens things up ;-)

What about Arctic Monkeys if it's a british band, they're a bit more the right size of act.....

I want to see Gov't Mule. They are currently one of my favorite bands. Galactica is pretty good, too, though some of their music veers a little toward weird synthesizer stuff.

Yeah like I said the Stones take over a million and the Hang Out venue is waaay too small......guesses?

I have rumors that's about it so far, keeping digging because it sounds so far fetched.

The rumors are a British rock and roll group....

Good Lord.....Pink Floyd????? My husband would be in heaven if he thought he could see them in person.

Gov't Mule is in the lineup, PB.http://hangoutmusicfest.com/lineup/

I have seen Galactic a couple of times. Lots of energy!

weird synthesizers - brilliant !

OMG! OMG! We're going then.

Another British band: Dire Straits??

The Black Crowes will be there too. This sounds like fun!

Playing Gov't Mules' version of "I Shall be Released" as I type.

Yes, I am totally brilliant. I admit it.

Dire Straits don't still play do they ? We're certainly digging up some old names....

It does look like proper fun though !

I'm racking what's left of my brain trying to figure out what British group could possibly be coming.

Robert Plant? Moody Blues (nah....they need their symphony orchestra, and I've already seen them twice)?

But OMG if you tell me it's Jethro Tull, I will be there on the ground before they set the stage up. Ian Anderson is such a good man in addition to being an amazing artist.

Jethro Tull ? You're showing your age there..... He might still live near here, I'll call round and ask him ;-)

Oh, yeah, I'm an old chick, and proud of it!

Yes, please do call Ian and ask if he will come. Tell him we will take up a donation to find someone to watch his kitties while he's gone. He can just log on here - we'll be happy to have him.

Did you know Ian is a strong supporter of wild cats? Bobcats and such? He's a strong animal advocate, and one of my heroes.
