[Bud Luster]

chems yes - prodigy no.

[captncrzy]

yes to both.

[hypervera]

yes to both.

agreed

[betao]

yes to both.

[slurpee]

Chemical Brothers have played two or three Coachellas already?

Prodigy sucked at Coachella.

Too bad you missed it.

New music please.

[feather]

YES YES YES!

I will always support the threads for these two...whether they come in '09 or any nearby show this year. Even if it's one or the other, i don't care!!!

I had an amazing time at Pendulum this year, but all i have heard is negative talk from others...

[thelastgreatman]

God, would everyone please shut the fuck up about The Prodigy?

[Astrid]

hmm..well i've never seen the prodigy. i would love to. but i'm not tripping balls over it.

chemical brothers on the other hand, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

[betao]

God, would everyone please shut the fuck up about The Prodigy?

Randy I normally agree with you, but i'm never going to be able to shut up about the prodigy.

[idrive1life]

Hell yes to both!

[Botrocker]

Randy I normally agree with you, but i'm never going to be able to shut up about the prodigy.

Who could they just kick so much ass?

And the Chems are the best live music act I saw in all of 07. Even better than Daft Punk.

[goodgrl]

YES and YES!
Absolutely would love to see for 10 yr. anni.

[BROKENDOLL]

EVERYTIME I have seen the Prodigy, they kicked ass, EXCEPT '05, I will admit that that par-fuck performance in '05 would have been enough to turn some people into believe they sucked, i was confused in '05, i thought they were having sound issues, nope just rhythm issues, it was just an unlucky performance in my opinion. I saw Pendulum in '04 live and they sucked soooo hard, this years coachella I stopped by to see and I was really impressed with what I heard, Im a fan again, So basically all I am sayin is that yea I would be happy to see either Prodigy/Chemical Brothers But seriously you guys? This is Coachella, Rage, Prince, Bjork, Portishead, Massive Attack... Coachella doesn't fuck around, I say Orbital/Underworld '09 I was still test driving this genre of music as opposed to my classic rock/metal in 2005. Prodigy's so-called "par fucked" performance kicked my ass and sold me that year!

[Sushov23]

Yes to The Chemical Brothers
I don't care about The Prodigy.

[BROKENDOLL]

Who could they just kick so much ass?

And the Chems are the best live music act I saw in all of 07. Even better than Daft Punk. Best? Maybe, but I kinda knew what to expect... On the other hand, Daft Punk in 2006 caught me (As well as the rest of us) totally off guard and blew alot of minds that night in the Sahara. Off the scale if you ask me!:dumbo

[paulb]

Eat my fuckin ass Randy

FUCK YES TO THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS AND THE PRODIGY!!!!!!!

[instinct]

I'd love to see them both.. I am a huuuge chemical brothers fan.. but i will not be too disapointed if they are not there.. I caught both acts at Coachella 05.. and then Prodigy again at Rokout and Chemical Brothers at Nocturnal. I believe the chemical brothers have played Coachella more than anyone else except for Perry Ferral.

[rage patton]

I will do almost anything to get the Prodigy at Coachella next year.

[feather]

I had a dream that i saw the Chemical Brothers last night...I know it was spurred by this thread.

[discobotica]

so much for the prodigy in '09.....as most of you already know, they already have scheduled tour dates during the coachella dates........come on CHEMICAL BROTHERS!!!! turn feather's dream into a surreality!!!!

[daft$tar]

yes to both!!!

[feather]

Yes!!! Make my dream from back in May & always dreaming about come true!

:pulse

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Could this be a PLUReality?

[Boourns]

I really need to see the chemical brothers :(

[Trick Loves The Kids]

PLUREVOLUTION

[gibsonorbust]

ZOMG!!11!!!

The Prodigy would be a miracle; The Chems just need to be there

[discobotica]

Could this be a PLUReality?

I think so....

Chemical Brothers DJ Set, 12/13/08 @ Warehouse Project in Manchester, UK



P.S. person doing the heart thing with their hands is SOOOO PLUR

[Sonicifyouwantit]

I'm always game for a chem bro appearance as well as underworld.

[feather]

SUPERSTAR DJ'S HERE WE GOOOOOO!

[Sonicifyouwantit]

SUPERSTAR DJ'S HERE WE GOOOOOO!

I really like the soulwax remix of that song /\/\

[Smokenut]

chemcials yes, prodi? zzzzzzzzz......no offense to those who enjoy them, but they are not my cup of tea

how about some Tiefschwarz or Pan Pot in Sahara????maybe PIG & Dan or some CROOKERS! and LOCO DICE

[ELECtROjan]

Invaders Must Die....yes

[myelectrolife]

BOTH plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[coolhandluke]

I'm hoping for a Chem conflict with the Killers. Not even a conflict lol.

[myelectrolife]

Chem would kill the killers which is kind of ironic... :p

[rage patton]

Im pretty sure Basement Jaxx will be conflicting with The Killers.

[coolhandluke]

Im pretty sure Basement Jaxx will be conflicting with The Killers.

Fuck that, much rather see Chem in that spot. I know it's more logical for Jaxx to be there but still.

[myelectrolife]

if i never saw the killers i would not care

[feather]

I'm hoping for a Chem conflict with the Killers. Not even a conflict lol.

More like a blessing from the heavens of Coachella.

[paganman7]

Im pretty sure Basement Jaxx will be conflicting with The Killers.



That would work.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

if basement jaxx conflicted with my wedding i'd be like "laters" to my fiance

[quicksand]

chems yes - prodigy no.

word

[Vic Viper]

Invaders Must Die....yes
Worlds on Fire >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Invaders Must Die



Prodigy's not coming, relax people.

[Mr. E]

More like a blessing from the heavens of Coachella.

I f*cking love this CHems pic !! i strongly support this thread!

[HEADSTRUCK]

Im pretty sure Basement Jaxx will be conflicting with The Killers.

I would like that cause I could careless about the jaxx but I would like to see the chem bros again. They put on an steller live show.

[HEADSTRUCK]

More like a blessing from the heavens of Coachella.

you shouldnt say that. The chem bros are one of the only acts I wanna see in the tent and that would make me miss then. Do you really want to hurt me like that?

[thelastmejia]

you shouldnt say that. The chem bros are one of the only acts I wanna see in the tent and that would make me miss then. Do you really want to hurt me like that?

Why would you want to see them in the tent this year, They have a great live show right now that should be on the main stage.

[HEADSTRUCK]

I would much rather them be on the main stage I just say the tent cause thats what most people think. If they were on the main stage they wouldnt conflict with anybody then.

[Gribbz]

Im pretty sure Basement Jaxx will be conflicting with The Killers.

Good. Something to do during the killers.

[betao]

Why do people want acts like The Prodigy or The Chems on the mainstage?

These are acts that need to be in a tent. No exceptions.

The tent vibe and atmosphere would be so much better than a mainstage atmosphere for acts like these.

[paulb]

I just wanna see them anywhere...and if its on the mainstage, i wont have to miss the headliner whoever that might be, be it Blur or NIN or Bowie.

[moomoo]

Don't know if anyone notices, or if anyone gives a fuck about Monklish's blog after the BoC bullshit.

But she guarantees that Chemical Bros will be there.

the tent is to small for the chem bros. I dont wanna have to camp out to be able to see the show. If they are on the main stage at least i will be able to enjoy the show. The prodigy belongs in the tent.

[betao]

Yeah man we've seen it. But not everyone goes through that giant confirmed lineup thread, so thanks for posting for those who haven't.

I want to believe her, but she's got the whole BoC thing. I would be overjoyed if either the Chems or Prodigy are there.

[paulb]

Prodigy>Chemical Brothers>Fatboy>Basement Jaxx

[HEADSTRUCK]

prodigy is what got me into breaks but they havent done anything respectable in ten years.

chem bros>prodigy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>fatboy>>>>>>>>>>a bunch of other stuff>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>jaxx

[betao]

the tent is to small for the chem bros. I dont wanna have to camp out to be able to see the show. If they are on the main stage at least i will be able to enjoy the show. The prodigy belongs in the tent.

What if they were on against an average headliner? Like in 2005 against Coldplay, how crowded was the tent then?

[paulb]

either will be fun....but I need some balls kicking from The Prodigy.

[HEADSTRUCK]

What if they were on against an average headliner? Like in 2005 against Coldplay, how crowded was the tent then?

I dont know cause i wasnt in there. But being able to see the show in a field beats a tent in my eyes. I dont wanna be cramped against a bunch of young fucking etarded kids who dont even know what they are watching.

[shotglass75]

Neither will be there unfortunately so let's end this thread now.

[betao]

I dont know cause i wasnt in there. But being able to see the show in a field beats a tent in my eyes. I dont wanna be cramped against a bunch of young fucking etarded kids who dont even know what they are watching.

Well if you watch them at the mainstage, you probably won't get a bunch of e-tards, but you're likely to end up with people who are just casually strolling by and aren't moving or dancing or jumping, people who are just staring at the visuals and saying "hey thats cool".

I dont know man I"m kind of biased with this one. The one time i've seen The Chems, it was at an outdoor venue, and the crowd was terrible. Most shows I've seen that are dance-oriented that go down outdoors have terrible audiences. The vibe just isn't the same.

Now put them in a tent, and things work out amazing. The atmosphere and energy and everything is kinda contained. Plus, if you put them in the tent against headliners, you'll get a more dedicated crowd. Like when I saw Underworld back in August, they played/closed out the dance tent at the same time Jack Johnson and Foo Fighters played (the headliners), so you knew that anyone who was choosing to watch Underworld chose them most likely because they like them. It made for a medium-sized, dedicated crowd. And that is how you want to see some of these people.

[feather]

you shouldnt say that. The chem bros are one of the only acts I wanna see in the tent and that would make me miss then. Do you really want to hurt me like that?

Well, sadly it's the truth! For you, it's a conflict. For me, it's exactly what I would want- not missing a headliner I would enjoy, and seeing my favorite act.

I would definitely prefer the temple, over the main stage if they played.

I see how it is........

[feather]

Haha the way you feel about the Killers, is the way I feel about the Chems. You know that feeling.

Fuck the vibe.....I have seen them a couple times and its always been cramped with a bunch of little wanna be fucking ravers and it makes me sick. I wanna be able to enjoy what I am seeing with out all the etards "trying" to dance with glowsticks. its a shame to waste an act like the chem bros in the Sahara. I am not paying 300+ for a vibe but a show.

[HEADSTRUCK]

Haha the way you feel about the Killers, is the way I feel about the Chems. You know that feeling.

no I dont....... I wanna see both

speaking of chem. bros. in the temple......

0s1WmlbPPVk

I wasn't there, but I'm sure people that were can attest to their greatness (I did see them at Nocturnal '07 though)

[brando4n82]

I'd love to see them both.. I am a huuuge chemical brothers fan.. but i will not be too disapointed if they are not there.. I caught both acts at Coachella 05.. and then Prodigy again at Rokout and Chemical Brothers at Nocturnal. I believe the chemical brothers have played Coachella more than anyone else except for Perry Ferral.


I missed out on Nocturnal, thus missing out on that Chem Bros show. ive seen a few youtube vids and it looks like suuch a fun show and perfect for the Sahara

[discobotica]

your calculations would be correct........like feather, they are my #1 favorite and upon first viewing the line-up, quickly scan for them before truly dissecting it......my friends and I were talking about getting a projector and making a spectacle out of dissecting the line-up, cuz I really didn't do my hw last year on some of the earlier artists in the sahara, and now regret not seeing them.......

[boarderwoozel3]

speaking of chem. bros. in the temple......

0s1WmlbPPVk

I wasn't there, but I'm sure people that were can attest to their greatness (I did see them at Nocturnal '07 though)

Yes please.

[orbit]

i've seen them both doing good shows at outdoor venues, and the crowd has been great both times.

[daft$tar]

please prodigy please

[insidetheface]

if any sahara act is gonna be on the main stage, it should be Daft Punk, and no one else...

i would be down for Prodigy closing the Outdoor though...

[discobotica]

I just wanna see them anywhere...and if its on the mainstage, i wont have to miss the headliner whoever that might be, be it Blur or NIN or Bowie.

PLUR > Blur.........dance acts should be in the dance tent (aka sahara temple), and you should not fucking miss it, end of discussion peoples.........I'm not making the mistake of leaving the sahara w/o a REALLY good fucking reason (i.e. Radiohead, pending conflict)

[feather]

(I did see them at Nocturnal '07 though)

My claim to Chemical Brothers fame, a lovely show but I need to see them again, preferably at Coachella.


please prodigy please

Daft, someone on our wishlist will be there, and we will be happy.

[Bosco]

has it occurred to anyone that IF the Chemical Brothers play this year, they might not do a live set? I only say this because the last live date they played was August 30th @ the Olympia in London last year. Everything after, has been sporadic DJ sets across Europe. Plus, I don't know if this is a trend or not, but after they released their first compilation " Singles 93-03", majority of the concerts they played after its release where DJ sets. The same thing seems to be happening after their newest compilation "Brotherhood".

Just thought I would share...

and before some of you ask....no word from the Chems HQ

[HEADSTRUCK]

I doubt it would be a dj set but if it was it would def not be on the main and I prob wont catch it then.

[feather]

A DJ set would crush my heart.

[betao]

good point Chris. I wouldn't mind a DJ set from them, and it wouldn't surprise me honestly if it was a DJ set, because their name on the poster would still definitely help sell tickets.

But if it was a DJ set, would they headline the tent with it?

[thelastmejia]

If the Chems did play a DJ set it would make me incredibly sad. They only had 5 dates on their last tour and 2 of them were in New York. It would be a shame if they don't put on their live show at an event like Coachella. Its like if Daft Punk just played a DJ set instead of their live show. Its great but, you know your missing out.

[feather]

I never even considered the possibility of a DJ set for some reason. THANKS BOSCO!

[HEADSTRUCK]

But if it was a DJ set, would they headline the tent with it?

they prob would but I think it depends on who else they have. It would be kinda weak if they were.

[boarderwoozel3]

Ditto.

At this point I just really want to know who the big Sahara acts are going to be, even more than the main stage headliners.

[sbessiso]

I finally got my very first taste of the chem bros. via the coachella dvd and my mouth was watering. I really hope they dont play the same time as the killers

[paulb]

hey Sally...check out Block Rockin Beats live from Woodstock 99.....

and do you have your Ultra tix?

[sbessiso]

I am in no way shape or form spending $180 on ULTRA. I'll find something on Craigslist.

And I'll check the song out Pauly

[betao]

the Block Rockin Beats @ Woodstock 99 video is great...

it shows you what woodstock is "really" like :)

[discobotica]

I think so....

I19sDzxAIG0

Chemical Brothers DJ Set, 12/13/08 @ Warehouse Project in Manchester, UK

P.S. person doing the heart thing with their hands is SOOOO PLUR

Chemical Brothers live put me in a different realm, but the dj set they did in this video looks like it destroys too....check it out if you haven't already, I don't want to see any long faces if, and it's a big friggin IF, they play a dj set as opposed to a live set......

[Smokenut]

also check out

The Chemical Brother DJ set @ "WE LOVE SPACE" Ibiza on youtube!!!!!


that set was fucking sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Smokenut]

how about??????


the Chemical brothers DJ Set in Sahara 1am-4am Fri or Sat night?

[paulb]

link us homie

[orbit]

I doubt it would be a dj set but if it was it would def not be on the main and I prob wont catch it then.


A DJ set would crush my heart.


If the Chems did play a DJ set it would make me incredibly sad.


why would a dj set make you sad/upset?

[cubrocker]

why would a dj set make you sad/upset?

wasnt an original poster of this

but--- um such talented artists doing dj sets is kinda a bummer

a couple talented people just playing their own records out loud just isnt as fun (ie justice).... we need something more like what daft punk did. that was mind blowing. listen to the alive 2007 album

[HEADSTRUCK]

why would a dj set make you sad/upset?

as far as I am concerned I would rather people like Fatboy & Moby do dj sets then live because their catalog of music is just not very good and are both greatly skilled djs. As far as an act like the Chem Bros. I love their catalog and was very very impressed with thier live show. I am not saying a dj set from them would not be good but it would conflict with a band I wanna see and I would not choose them.

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

BUMP


GV: Come on............ PLEASE?

[biggfoot17]

[randyrad]

Prodigy has dates in London Fri/Sat of Coachella according to Pollstar (http://pollstar.com/resultsArtist.aspx?ID=24111&SortBy=Date&SearchBy=prodigy).

Would it be possible for them to make it on Sunday?

[menikmati]

No. Enough of Prodigy. It's not happening (and thank God for that).

[redthreat]

2005 called, they want their lineup back. GET OVER IT KIDS.

[earlgrey]

End with SG, TPPR, and TSU! Now that's wicked!

Nope. Period.

[boarderwoozel3]

<-- Still holding hope for The Chemical Brothers on Sat, Goldenvoice, Mr. Tollett.

[Tylerdurden31]

so should i go see them in NYC for what will probably amount to $60?

[betao]

so should i go see them in NYC for what will probably amount to $60?

Yes.

[Chemical2009]

Its not a matter of opinions right now , Coachella NEEDS the chems to headline sat... it would just make this festival complete... do it, do it ,, do it

Cmon T and E !
I'll provide the sunscreen!

This is the only way I can redeem myself cause I didn't see you @ Olympia!

[redthreat]

Prodigy has a giant gap in their tour schedule right before Coachella, picking up at the start of April once again. Coincidence? I think not.

[earlgrey]

Wait for it! Hold on tight Indio!













Very soon!

[deeznutz]

And the whole sahara tent was dancing like a salmon floating up stream!

[earlgrey]

Float down hear!

[Distorted_Jungle]

If Prodigy plays it will be sunday only they have a show in london on the 17th and nothing again till may 1st so if it is happening it will be sunday. Chemical Brothers i don't believe are on tour couldn't find tour dates but could play any day. The dream add's for me would be Basement Jaxx friday, Chemical Brothers Saturday, Prodigy Sunday. In all seriousness very very very unlikely, but would be amazing.

[deeznutz]

holy shit!

t2LMXI93MtY

[digitaldragon03]

Fuck yeah. That clown freaked the shit out of me at Nocturnal 2007.

[deeznutz]

Oh man if the chemies get added to Saturday, I'll be sooooo happy the killers are "headlining" the main stage. Hello dancing shoes, my names pistachio.

[TheGunner'sDream]

The Chemical Brothers?? FUCK YES!!!!

The

[TheGunner'sDream]

The Chemical Brothers?? FUCK YES!!!!

The Prodigy?? no thanks.

[BKsaysAction!]

YxZmRYbaAvg
Yes please. That would be a dream saturday add.
And if the prodigy were on sunday........No one could talk shit about this year.

[boarderwoozel3]

^
Urgg. I want that sooooo much.

[redthreat]

NO PRODIGY. THE NEW ALBUM SUCKS.

CHEMICAL BROTHERS HAS BEEN DONE ALREADY & THEY TOURED EVERYWHERE LAST YEAR.

UNDERWORLD WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

BOARDS OF CANADA WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

SHPONGLE WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

DAVID BOWIE? NEVER HAPPEN.

WAKE UP PPL.

Fucking nihilist.

[deeznutz]

I think toured everywhere is a bit over dramatic. Plus seeing them play a major festival (coachella) outdoors is the way to go imo. The best choice for a dance act of major "headlining" proportion this year by far.


PLEASE PAUL PLEASE!

[Mcoppel]

Why they always put the chemical bros. and the prodigy in pairs?

do they have a special contract combo or something?

If I pick one... it will be THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS.
Only hope that GV don't add them on Saturday... im planing to save my money for that shity day.

[brando4n82]

holy shit!

im fucking pissed we wont be getting this

Stop pissing all over my parade. :)

holy shit!

If the chemical brothers do end up at coachella, i hope they bring the same stage setup. Those visuals are awesome.

[deeznutz]

How about this, Chemical Brothers main stage and the killers in the sahara on saturday night. Sounds perfect to me. Probably not going to happen, but I think it would work out awesome like.

[redthreat]

If the chemical brothers do end up at coachella, i hope they bring the same stage setup. Those visuals are awesome.

the architecture tours were sweet on the show last year. that and the two faces talking. they had a sick setup.
