The breakout story of the festival season thus far was the overwhelming success of the Hangout Music Festival both in terms of attendance and the music provided. Hangout organizer Shaul Zislin plans to bring the fest back to Gulf Shores, AL next year and has submitted a permit request from the City Council that would see the third annual event take place on May 18 – 20. There are a few logistical issues to work out and in this piece from the local Press-Register it seems there are a few local residents and business owners who are against the return of Hangout. Let’s hope they are able to sort their problems and that Hangout comes back next year.
