When it comes to music festivals, you can count on three things: music (duh), flower crowns and, yeah, hula hoopin’. I jumped right into this trend earlier in the day at the 2014 Hangout Festival, and I must admit that it’s so addicting.

Watch these hoopin’ girls below and try not to be hypnotized.

Whoa, like f’real?

Can’t even.

How are they not dropping those hoops?

What are you, like, 10? I can barely get a hoop around my waist once.

The Black Keys‘ Patrick Carney can eat Justin Bieber for breakfast. That is, of course, based on the name of the uneasy rift the two musicians have with each other.

The fight started around the 2013 Grammys, when the drummer made comments about Bieber’s money. Bieber responded on Twitter by saying he should be “slapped around.” A few tweets and many threatening Beliebers after, Carney said last week that Justin is a “fucking irresponsible asshole.”

“It never was a beef,” Carney told MTV News at the 2014 Hangout Festival, where they rocked the crowd as headliners. “I mean, I have a beef with a lot of people. I have a small beef with him. It’s more of like a sausage patty.”

Tasty.

So maybe Carney is ready to toss that sausage patty into the trash and move on?

“That whole thing, that’s so obnoxious,” Carney said. “[People ask] what do you think about Justin Bieber not having a Grammy? The dude’s a milionaire, you know? We’re from Akron, what kind of question is that? I’m a grown man. Why do I give a f–k about Justin Bieber? I’d rather have his stacks. We’d be racing Lamborghinis in Miami. That’s just us. We just haven’t gotten there yet.”

It takes a lot of confidence to wear a bikini. At least that’s what pop duo Tegan and Sara told MTV News on Saturday.

If that’s true, the 2014 Hangout Festival is brimming with self-assurance.

“People come here and they swim and they swing around in hammocks and then they go watch music,” Tegan told us after their set. “People seemed really happy and they definitely seemed nice and tanned.”

Although they were telling fans that they had bikinis under their clothes — leather jackets and black skinny jeans — they were very adamant about NOT showing a lot of skin during a show.

“We actually have a rule: no one’s allowed to wear shorts onstage. It just doesn’t look very rock!” Tegan said.

Her twin sister Sara agreed.

“It’s important to me that you look cool onstage,” she said. “It’s not that you don’t look cool onstage, but it’s implied when you’re wearing a bathing suit that you’re doing a beach activity or lounging. When you’re onstage you’re there to…”

“Rock out,” Tegan said.

But with temps in the 80s today, going without shorts didn’t seem like an option.

“We suffer through,” Sara said.

When it comes to Hangout Fest, the one thing you have to keep in mind is that it’s the effort that counts. And while Tegan and Sara killed it onstage, when it came to our paddle ball challenge, they weren’t so hot.

The twins took on Hangout, playing songs from their Heartthrob album (and throwing a few old jams in there). In leather jackets and skinny jeans, they applauded the festival-goers in bikinis and joked they had some on underneath their rock ‘n’ roll clothes.

While the duo seemed right at home onstage, they tried out the beach for a little bit.

Who needs a bikini to enjoy the sun?

Watch Tegan and Sara attempt to play paddle ball and have a little chuckle with our favorite indie pop queens. It’s OK, guys … it was windy.

Hang loose, music lovers.

My preference is that you’d all be at 2014 Hangout Festival with MTV, but not everyone can be in Gulf Shores, Alabama, right now. The second best thing is that you’re following along with the live stream. And if you’re catching up afterward, here are some GIFs to get you in the know about what went down during Day One. You’re welcome.

On a day that saw Wiz Khalifa, Black Lips and a sea full of flower crowns, Hangout fans realized that all they needed was music, love and an extra pair of underwear. Here are the GIFiest moments from Friday (May 16).

We saw a lot of chicks hooping

You go, girl

We met this lil’ big guy

I took a selfie in front of this Ferris wheel

Amber Rose gave us a sweet kiss. Jeal?

And we danced to Ingrid Michaelson’s “Girls Chase Boys”

Music lives!

You know what it is, Wiz Khalifa.

Childish Gambino was super animated onstage

And the 1975? Yeah, they were amazing.

This guy was un-bear-ably cute.

And this girl scared the sh– out of us, but whatever, we have tomorrow to gain our wits back.

It wouldn’t be a music festival without a ton of flower crowns.

Hangout Fest 2014 has the beachiest, most free-flowing fans I’ve ever seen, and they weren’t afraid to show off their accessories. From bikini tops to bandanas to white lace croptops, the Hangouters have style.

But of course, I have to put some major hang-loose hands in the air for these ladies who really amped up the flower-crown swag. From those who bought theirs on-site to those who constructed theirs on the car ride down to Gulf Shores, Alabama, I have to give props to these floral fanatics.

Here are the ladies who really brought their botanical game to Hangout Festival.
