Hangout Fest started in 2012 right on the beautiful beaches of the Gulf Shores. Festival-goers have so many chances to soak in and enjoy all of the activities summer has to offer! Everything from a dip in the gulf, to taking a lap around the roller rink, catching new views from the Ferris wheel, or simply kicking back in the sand. The possibilities are endless.

3. Six Stages & Different Experiences

Whether it’s a day of EDM or nothing but the headliners, Hangout Fest is curating a spectacular experience by delivering six stages with distinct palettes. From the Boom Boom tent which will house the weekend’s EDM acts to Hangout and Surf which will provide a stage for music’s biggest names, there’s a space for every music lover in your group. In between these sets, you can even catch Briston Maroney, BEABADOOBEE, and Blu DeTiger at the BMI Mermaid stage.
