Franz Ferdinand In the Sahara?

[danteb]

With the sir paul, morrissey, and leonard cohen likely to dominate the mainstage on friday night i could see franz ferdinand in the tent in between ghostland and crystal method, especially with their danch-ish new album. i think that would be a blast, any thoughts?

[captncrzy]

My guess is headlining the outdoor theater. They opened for DM in 2006 so they probably won't have the same slot; I can see them closing the outdoor.

[danteb]

yeah you're probably right but i would if not on the mainstage i would rather see them in the tent..

Well please let them hit the stage after Paul McCartney finishes! Id hate this as a conflict.

[danteb]

yeah that conflict would kill, i'd rather see them conflict with morrissey, but not cohen or mccartney

[Trailmix]

Don't see them in the Sahara that would be kind of lame.

[twoheadedboy]

they wouldn't play the sahara. not their scene and honestly... too small.
def outdoor stage.

[braundiggity]

There is no way, no way at all, that they'll be on the outdoor stage. That's idiocy.

Unless they get moved, they're either before or after Morrissey. Cohen, though, could play Outdoor before McCartney (conflict with Franz).

This whole "headlining the Outdoor stage" idea is BS. There's no such thing as headlining that stage, it's just whoever happens to be last that night, and that act could come from anywhere on the lineup. There's a Sahara and Mainstage headliner, and other than that, it's simply whoever they put last on the other stages.

[Xenocide]

i think they are one of the last acts on that poster that would play the Sahara (or any of the tents really...)

either Outdoor closer, or main before Morrissey/McCartney...

[daft$tar]

let's hope they arent in sahara - love them - but not in sahara

[shermanoaksyo]

Cohen then Franz then Moz then Macca. The problem is I won't get to see Girl Talk but that's life.

First of all, they'll probably have it quiet for Paul McCartney; which means whoever goes on the outdoor stage will conflict with morrissey and be done by McCartney time. FF won't be bumped to the sunset slot when they were at the opening slot three years ago. All that's left is the outdoor theater.

Second of all, go fuck yourself.

[All Your Base]

Their new album lends itself to the Sahara, I think. It's very dance-y.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

the real question is.....will the audience still "hear" The Cure?

Nice call, I do hope it plays out like this.

[normalone75]

Main stage again guys, they drew a pretty big crowd their first time at Coach.

You really think they'd be bumped down a STAGE before they'd be bumped down a TIMESLOT? You are indeed crazy.

[nationocean]

main stage.

[menikmati]

Why can't it go Cohen > Franz > Morrissey > McCartney on the main stage? Cohen with Willie Nelson's spot from 07.

thats probly most likely, this was just wishful thinking on my part to see franz in the sahara, although clearly im one of the few who thinks that would be super fun.

that's my guess. although, if you see my sig, you'll see who i prefer take FF's slot

[Sexecutioner]

dude, franz is not playing the sahara. thats just dumb. and i agree with meniks guess. they can all be on the main stage.

[TheCutestBoyAlive]

They will probably close outdoor or late nite on main stage. Conor closed Outdoor in 2005. He is definetely playing main stage this year.

[microcuts]

the real question is.....will the audience still "hear" The Cure?

Is MBV really that loud? Will GV be forced to hand out 50,000 pairs of earplugs?

[PotVsKtl]

Yeah, Leonard Cohen's going to open for Franz Ferdinand. Kill your parents.

[PotVsKtl]

Same goes for you. Kill your cats.

[Xenocide]

Leonard Cohen will headline Outdoor ala Love & Rockets before Waters...

[Boourns]

Anything different than this would be shitty.

[Jremy]

silly theory.
mark my words:
Not Sahara, not mainstage,
99.9% positive we'll see em at the outdoor stage, if not in the mojave for sure.

[woogie846]

I could see Franz playing after McCartney on the main stage.
