RIP Hangout Music Festival

The post RIP Hangout Music Festival appeared first on Consequence.

The Hangout Music Festival, the long-running event that took place on the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama, is no more. After 13 editions, Hangout is set for a new festival called Sand in My Boots, co-produced by country superstar Morgan Wallen and AEG.

Sand in My Boots will premiere May 16-18, 2025 and promises a “highly curated, multi-genre lineup featuring some of Wallen's closest friends, favorite artists, those who inspired him and those he always wanted to perform with.” Every artist, activity and experience is handpicked by Wallen, driven by his passion for sharing great music and creating memories with fans, friends, family and like-minded people.” Wallen is believed to be headlining the festival, but further details – including the Lineup and ticket details – to be announced.

Hangout marks the sudden end of one of the country's longest-running music festivals. The event first took place in 2010 and featured the Zac Brown Band, John Legend and Trey Anastasio. Over the years, the festival team grew in popularity, attracting more than 40,000 attendees while welcoming acts such as Foo Fighters, OutKast, Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Killers, and Mumford & Sons. The 2020 and 2021 editions were both canceled due to the pandemic, however Hangout was able to host successful events in both 2022 and 2023.
