The Official 2009 Sahara Tent Prediction Thread

**betao** · 06-15-2008, 12:54 PM

I'm predicting:

Basement Jaxx
The Prodigy
Moby (live or DJ)

The trance superstar DJ in 2009 will be either Ferry Corsten or Armin Van Buuren.

I also see Chemical Brothers as a possibility. I don't think Underworld will be there.

and PLEASE keep the Ed Banger to a minimum.

what about you guys?

**paulb** · 06-15-2008, 01:12 PM

The Prodigy
The Chemical Brothers
Groove Armada
Mr. Oizo
Sebastian Tellier
DJ Mehdi
Krazy Baldhead

**summerkid** · 06-15-2008, 01:20 PM

Armin Van Burren
The Avalanches
Basement Jaxx

**Xenocide** · 06-15-2008, 01:21 PM

i think Underworld, Moby (dj), & bt (live) are all likely...

Chem Bros, Prodigy, & Daft Punk would be awesome, but less likely (and wouldn't be in the sahara anyway)...

but i'd like to see:
DJ Temper Tantrum
UNICRON
AK1200
DJ Dara
Infected Mushroom
The Tuss
Pendulum (dj set)
Dieselboy
Poe w/ Conjure One
KMFDM

among other dream acts, such as Shpongle, Boards of Canada, The Knife, etc...

and maybe Republica for shits and giggles...

crystal method
chemical brothers
prodigy

Bloody Beetroots
Switch
Chems
Basement Jaxx
2 many DJ's or Soulwax (both please!)

i think if any one of those acts were on the poster we'd assume a Tiesto-slot on main stage (even if it doesn't happed, just like this year when we all assumed fatboy slim would close out main)...

kraftwerk graduated to main, and i'm pretty sure no one would be surprised if daft would if they ever return...

**Boourns** · 06-16-2008, 02:24 AM

When they return, Daft Punk will be first-billed that day and playing the main stage.

**brando4n82** · 06-16-2008, 08:43 AM

2 Many DJS
Basement Jaxx
Digitalism LIVE

FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON

Lemon Jelly?

I Hope MSTKRFT plays, i really want to check them out and it would be awesome if Boys Noize came back again this next year

**postmusic** · 06-16-2008, 04:05 PM

Nite Versions!!!

**Botrocker** · 06-17-2008, 10:38 AM

Motherfucking VITALIC!!

**Botrocker** · 06-17-2008, 11:03 AM

and Cassius

**clumsy342** · 06-17-2008, 11:58 AM

The Avalanches
Autechre
The Knife

and fuck it, Put Battles in the Sahara!
Did you guys see the crowd for them at Bonnaroo???
It didn't go but it was a far cry from the Gobi.

**betao** · 06-17-2008, 12:11 PM

I saw Battles in DC on saturday and they were great. Atlas is just soo much fun live.

**rage patton** · 06-17-2008, 12:47 PM

Wow... that Battles video is awesome! It kinda sucked how at Coachella everyone was just bobbing their heads. I wish the crowd was like that at Coachella. I saw them at Sasquatch, and the crowd was much better. People were dancing and jumping, and everyone really got into when they played Atlas.... but nowhere near to that extent.
I also thought Battles would strangely have suited the Sahara. They should have put them in the Sahara this year right before Aphex Twin.

**Boourns** · 06-17-2008, 01:09 PM

Fuck jumping, my feet already had blisters.

**frozen pilgrim** · 06-17-2008, 02:19 PM

SHPONGLESHPONGLESHPONGLE!!!!!!!

I can't stress this enough.
Shpongle in the sahara would be the single most transcendental EDM experience ever.

I've accepted I'm not going to england for halloween to see them (so I can pay for some new dj gear), and I have to see them somehow.
goldenvoice, hear my plea:
it's not too late- get the north american live shpongle debut.
pull a daft punk, and give them whatever they need to put on a complete multi-sensory experience.
dani, please, I implore you, next chance you get, tip off paul tollett to this incredible duo.
I know I've posted this video before, but I have to again.
it's from japan- a semi-private show- one of only two "live" shpongle shows ever attempted.

**Sushov23** · 06-17-2008, 04:08 PM

7 months away from lineup announcement!. Wait that is still a long time.

**Botrocker** · 06-17-2008, 06:15 PM

I'm gonna discount Armiin Van Buuren. He would have been there this year because he's had a huge year.

**malcolmjamalawesome** · 06-17-2008, 07:56 PM

Daft Punk IS recording a new album ... but I don't predict a tour for some time.

Boards of Canada are SO not a Sahara act.

MSTRKRFT and Bloody Beetroots and Crookers, please. Thanks.
