30 rad pics from hangout fest 2015

Another Hangout Fest has come and it has gone and we’ve got the tan lines to prove it. This past weekend, Gulf Shores, Alabama flooded with folks from all over the nation with one goal in mind: to both get up and get down on the beach, because how often can you see artists like Tove Lo and Beck while getting sand between your toes? (Spoiler: Not often.) Hangout Fest prides itself on being the sandiest music festival. Plus, with a lineup as diverse as this year’s, there was something for everyone. 

Ahead, 30 of the raddest pictures from what could quite possibly be the best Hangout Fest yet. Now, if anyone has any tips for getting 100% of the sand out of our luggage, let us know. We’ve still got a slew of more festivals to attend this season.
