Hangout Festival Announces 2012 Lineup [Jack White, Wilco, DMB, Yelawolf, Alabama Shakes and more]

This morning, promoters of the Deep South’s biggest seaside music festival — Hangout Music Fest — announced its 2012 lineup. The, shall we say, diverse host of artists set to appear at the third installment of the right-on-beach hangout — which goes does down May 18-20 in Gulf Shores, Ala. — includes Jack White, Wilco, The Flaming Lips (performing Dark Side of the Moon), Gogol Bordello, Dr. Dog, Dawes, Yelawolf, The Alabama Shakes, Futurebirds and M. Ward, those being the names us cool kids give a flying eff about.

Steve Winwood, Mavis Staples, Randy Newman will head up the festival’s Social Security-eligible contingent of supports. Cage the Elephant, Coheed & Cambria, Chris Cornell, Flogging Molly and Switchfoot will bring the RAWK. Paul Oakenfold and Skrillex will bring the beats. String Cheese Incident, Dispatch, STS9, Gary Clark Jr., G. Love and Special Sauce, Michael Franti and Spearhead and Julian Marley will bring the jams. … And (sigh) Dave Matthews Band headlines. Wouldn't it pretty trippy if a giant wave, you know, crashed into Dave on his command?

Roll tide.
