Anderson East, Others Set For 2018 Hangout Festival’s BMI Stage

BMI artists are hitting the beach for the sixth consecutive year at Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, May 18-20. The weekend’s diverse lineup includes hand-curated up-and-comers who are already making waves within the industry, including singer-songwriter Anderson East, R&B sensation R.LUM.R,  alt-rock artist Caroline Rose, female rock-duo BONES of the UK, hip-hop/rapper Leikeli47, classic rock quartet Greta Van Fleet, and many more.

“BMI has a longstanding history of identifying and showcasing super-star talent early on and this lineup is no exception,” says Mason Hunter, AVP Creative, Nashville. “Our stage is stacked with rising stars and BMI’s focus on elevating younger talent fits perfectly with the vibe of this growing festival.”

Since 2013, BMI has hosted a number of rising stars on the BMI Hangout stage, including artists like Halsey, (who will return to Hangout this year on a festival main stage,) The Revivalists, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Daya, A R I Z O N A, Elle King, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, and Shakey Graves.
