OFFICIAL 2008 SAHARA LINEUP IS SICK/DAVE WANG MEET UP THREAD

[malcolmjamalawesome]

If what is getting posted right now is true, that is a pretty sick lineup.

Yeah, no Underworld, Chems, or Prodigy, but a ton of stellar mid level acts.

Fatboy, Pendulum, EROL ALKAN, Boys Noize, SMD, Justice + Ed Banger ... YES.

SO, during whose set does the Dave Wang T Shirt meet up take place?

[Brochella]

im still convinced they reveal underworld at some point based on that picture thats on their website

[gratytrainridesagain]

They really got a lot of good acts for the sahara this year, although I still have my fingers crossed for one more big act, but even if not it will be sick.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

ACTUALLY I need more time to look at the lineup before I vote for the day

[Jakedeez]

This years lineup seems really strong in the electronic dept. but everywhere else it falls short......am i wrong in thinking this? Maybe its too early

[gratytrainridesagain]

No youre right. Everywhere but the Sahara is lacking this year.

[depechemodekraftwerk]

250 bucks for mid level acts???? retarded.

[orbit]

Those are stellar acts?

Fucking Sandra Collins and Junkie XL?

[Bud Luster]

I think during Fatboy is appropiate, but I'm not "getting down" until Sat and SUn.

[Bud Luster]

Those are stellar acts?

Fucking Sandra Collins and Junkie XL?

both no good.

[fober]

I saw Chromeo in LA last week, it was a great show.

Even though the non-mexican-gangster looking guy doesn't have a singing voice.

simian mobile disco, boys noize, sasha and digweed, justice, chromeo, booka shade, erol alkan, fatboy slim, hot chip, pendulum, adam freeland, cut copy, busy p/sebastian/kavinsky, surkin/para one/orgasmic, teenagers, dmitri from paris, james zabiela, diplo, cut copy, deadmau5.......and who knows.......maybe underworld......pretty amazing electro lineup

coachella is quickly becoming saharella

[FelixPena]

i called Deadmau5 ! ... its gonna be sick @ the sahara !

[C DUB YA]

pretty underwhelming lineup...

Junkie Xl, Dimitri (zzzzzz), Adam Freeland, James Zabiela - whatever... this is weak.

C'mon, does that really constitute a sick lineup? A few classics and then a bunch of trendy stuff a year too late? Erol Alkan's sets haven't been new or exciting for months now, and I really don't need to see Justice & all the Ed Banger guys again. Boys Noize & SMD will at least be interesting, but them being announced doesn't really make me all that excited.

The lineup as a whole has been kind of disappointing, actually. Three full days and only a handful of must-sees.

Half the groups Brochella mentioned wouldn't really fit in the Sahara, IMO. The Teenagers? Whatever.

Modeselektor has me pumped, though.

[happypappy420]

zabiela will be amazing! i saw him in chicago and he blew me away

[CHIPSnDIP]

LET'S BOYCOTT THIS YEAR AND ALL WATCH 2 GIRLS 1 CUP
FOR 3 DAYS STRAIGHT!!!!!! TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!

AGREED

[jtovar21]

F**KIN MODESELEKTOR PPL!

[fober]

I love how the lineup is "disappointing" but I haven't heard any alternatives to the Sahara acts yet.

[thepoetblue]

Chromeo's recorded shite is shite, but I hear it's a great show.

SMD will be sick. Sahara's solid.

[Robototron]

I love how the lineup is "disappointing" but I haven't heard any alternatives to the Sahara acts yet.

We had an entire fake Sahara lineup thread (and I think most people made lineups that basically matched this one). Here.

[WeGoSublime]

What about that The Field is playing, the most progressive and revolutionary House/techno/micro artist of the past few years CERTAINLY of last year.

Would be nice to see Gui Boratto on there but im seeing him on friday in SF and at least we have BOOKA SHADE AND THE FIELD the two best house acts.

I agree the line-up appears lacking so far in all aspects other than the Electronica. They need more bands that arent just the MAIN/TOURIng hype bands of the year. Sure everyone loves Jens Lekman and Animal Collective and M.i.a , and I'll love to watch them . But it would be nice to see some bands that I cant just go check out at the Filmore on any given tuesday.

You guys like The Field ? you think they'll get a day-time saharah spot? i kinda hope not caus i wanna be rolling bawls for them

Dimitri from Paris? Are you serious? Look at that lineup, what subgenres of electronic music do you see there? 80-90% electro fidget house trendy suff, and 10% breaks/dnb/etc?

[fober]

We had an entire fake Sahara lineup thread (and I think most people made lineups that basically matched this one). Go find it.

hahahaha so you're sad Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Underworld, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher etc. etc. weren't in the lineup?

THIS ISNT A FUCKING "BEST OF" ALBUM

ITS A FUCKING FESTIVAL

[crazzz2007]

the sahara is well taken care of this year. anyone who says otherwise is crazy.

the rest of the lineup is a bit lacking.

[instinct]

The electronic department is lacking if you asked me.. I might as well just go to Together As One if I wanna see those acts..

[Brochella]

Chromeo's recorded shite is shite, but I hear it's a great show.

SMD will be sick. Sahara's solid.

SMD is absolutely gonna destroy the place, I can't wait.

Yes, it's a FESTIVAL, not a fucking Ed Banger/electrorock house tent.

[Robototron]

Where the fuck did I say that?

[jayce]

I think we should all rave it up during Pendulum!
