Hangout Music Festival, based on the sandy shores of Gulf Shores, Alabama, has been a fixture in the live music scene since 2010. Founded by A.J. Niland and Shaul Zislin, with Lilly Zislin serving as creative director, the festival curates a diverse lineup spanning rock, indie, electronic dance music, hip hop, jam bands, and reggae. Though 2026 brought a pause for Hangout, organizers announced a return in 2027, continuing the tradition of a laid-back yet unforgettable beach-side festival experience.
