Tickets for the fest go on sale Friday (Jan. 12) and start at $299. 2024 marks the 13th iteration of Hangout Fest, which hosts approximately 40,000 fans over its three days. Taking place right on the beach, the Hangout site features beach clubs and in-ground swimming pools at the main stage, along with other amenities.
Hangout was started by entrepreneurs and restaurant owners Shaul and Lilly Zislin, who envisioned a luxury festival that differed from the experiences they were having at festivals back in 2009.
“From day one we saw this as a destination, a vacation first and foremost,” a representative for the festival told Billboard in 2019. “People come for the music and then get swept away from the beach and the experience.” The event “takes an empty beach and completely transforms it. We bring in hundreds of palm trees and roll out the same grass you see at the Super Bowl or the World Series. A music festival isn’t just stages. It is all these other things.”
