Official Coachella 2008 Sahara Tent prediction thread

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Yes, it's true. After five straight years of raving my balls off, Dave Wang and myself will be unable to attend Coachella 2008, or as I like to call it, Sahara Tent 2008 (featuring Coachella).
Sadly for me, fortunately for all of you, I believe it's going to be a DOUBLE SICK lineup this year. So let's speculate as to who will be destroying everyone's brains with baseball bats in the Tent next year:
We can go ahead and rule Daft Punk out. I'm pretty sure there's no real shot of any major back to backs from 2007, either.
That being said, my guess for headliners = Chemical Bros, Underworld, and maybe somebody like Basement Jaxx or Goldfrapp.
I also think you'll see some sick acts like Boys Noize, Simian Mobile Disco, and Shinichi Osawa. A Kitsune-heavy Sahara would be pretty dope.
What do you dudes think?

Oh, and also, have you guys checked out Dr. Lektroluv? He played at Pukkelpop 2006 and I guess he's from Belgium or something because all of the locals were going NUTS for him. He's this DJ that wears some sort of mask or green face paint and has dark sunglasses and his headphones on his decks are designed to look like a phone so when he's mixing it looks like he's taking a phone call. Anyway, he destroyed my face with pain and fire.

Aphex twin would be nice.

[HunterGather]

Basement Jaxx FTW

[fatbastard]

[Memorial_07]

Revolting Cocks

[Boourns]

I'm guessing:
Chemical Bros
a cheesy trance superstar
Rabbit in the Moon
Simian Mobile Disco
some of the Ed Banger crew
DJ Peretz
Aphex Twin (but probably not in the dance tent)
The Entire Broadway Cast of Rent

Would be interesting, but rather unlikely:
Kylie Minogue (new album coming out and rarely tours, and surely less controversial than Madonna)
Underworld (I haven't heard anything about them touring next year, but who knows why it didn't happen in 2007, probably a reason for it)
The Three Tenors (it's now The Two Tenors)
High School Musical

[menikmati]

Rabbit in the Moon will be there. As far as big name superstar DJs, maybe Bad Boy Bill or someone...

About your Coachella site...Metric got recorded, too. I have the mp3's of it. Don't know all the info, though, besides the setlist.

[rage patton]

I really, really want the Prodigy to be there. Like. Seriously.

Also, Jamiroquai.

[menikmati]

yeah, I haven't finished the 2006 section yet, so there's a bunch that needs to be updated there yet. The setlist for Metric is something I don't have though, so that would help. Thanks!

[betao]

I really, really want the Prodigy to be there. Like. Seriously.

Also, Jamiroquai.

Yes, please have the Prodigy play. Amazing live show.

Other possibilities

Chemical Bros
Underworld
Goldfrapp
Rabbit in the Moon
The Crystal Method (knowing them, it'd just be a DJ set)
MIA
Deep Dish
Aphex Twin
Simian Mobile Disco
Sasha/Digweed
MAYBE someone from ed banger
Booka Shade (i would LOVE to see them again)

[PassiveTheory]

*cough* Ghostland Observatory.

[menikmati]

I would like to see Sasha and Digweed. I have a feeling they probably won't play because they seem to play LA a lot and are favorites of the Bonnaroo staff, but I was told the same thing once about Infected Mushroom...

[captncrzy]

I'm gonna REALLY keep my fingers crossed for Goldfrapp in there.

[Boourns]

Would Goldfrapp play the dance tent?

[rage patton]

Yes, please have the Prodigy play. Amazing live show.
The Crystal Method (knowing them, it'd just be a DJ set)

I want a live set.

*cough* Ghostland Observatory.

Yes plz.

[betao]

I want a live set too, but they rarely do live now. Its pretty unfortunate.

[SecretAgentX-9]

No Jamiroquai or MIA please

instead

Chemical Brothers or Underworld would be amazing, and I'd pretty much be happy with anything else

[superfiction]

lektroluv is filthy

[PassiveTheory]

We'll probably get MIA given GV's love of being able to kill two birds (indie/electronica and hip-hop crossover) with one act...

[superfiction]

i saw mia at lolla and ill be seeing her at vegoose. i can pass on her at coach

[captncrzy]

Would Goldfrapp play the dance tent?

I'm gonna say "hell yes". That would be an awesome place to see her.

[KungFuJoe]

If The Presets aren't destroying my face with a baseball bat & some cow bells in the tent next year, it will be a crying shame.

[dorkfish]

I'd much rather watch the Presets than Ghostland Observatory.

My only predictions are the Knife won't be there, and there won't be any major conflicts with the Sahara headliner and Radiohead, because the latter won't be there.

[brando4n82]

Would Goldfrapp play the dance tent?

ugh...Goldfrapp, is like..just a really, really bad band. Nothing paticular about it, just a really atrocious band in general....just soo fucking awful.
TERRIBLE. HORRIBLE. PERIOD.

[Boourns]

You fucking hate Goldfrapp?

[rage patton]

I'd much rather watch the Presets than Ghostland Observatory.

My only predictions are the Knife won't be there, and there won't be any major conflicts with the Sahara headliner and Radiohead, because the latter won't be there.

Who WILL be there then?

[Cpt. Funkaho]

Prodigy and/or The Crystal Method would make my whole weekend.

[KungFuJoe]

ugh...Goldfrapp, is like..just a really, really bad band. Nothing paticular about it, just a really atrocious band in general....just soo fucking awful.
TERRIBLE. HORRIBLE. PERIOD.

Well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

1. Goldfrapp is a woman NOT a band. Alison Goldfrapp is her name.

2. It is her and her partner Will Gregory who produce the music. Yes, they tour with a band, but I certainly would not call them a band. Musicians.

3. As a big fan I will admit there are some songs by them that I really do not care for. It's ok if you don't them, but they are far from atrocious.

4. They can not play the Sahara because I want to hear Alison belt out the more somber songs like "Utopia", "Lovely Head", "Pilots" and "You Never Know". Plus I think their new album is going to be less dancey, which is good even though I enjoy some of her more upbeat stuff too.


Prodigy
Chemical Brothers
Underworld

would be sweet. It'll be the year of the repeat Sahara Headliners.
