The Hangout Beach Festival Lineup Is Here!

Music on the beach is one of the many under utilized tools in our insanely over-saturated society, luckily The Hangout Beach Music and Arts Festival is trying to take care of that.  Set to take place from May 14-16, the inaugural event will take place directly on the white beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama".  There are expected to be more than 60 artists taking part with four stages including "two main stages rising from the sand itself." 

Tickets for the 3 day festival are $159 and are available now over at the official site.  The initial lineup is below and features my favorite Chuck Norris lookalike.  Awesome.

UPDATE:  Apparently our info was wrong, somehow Bassnectar snuck in there and is not confirmed for the festival at this time.  Apologies.  Still sounds awesome though right?
