Set Time Predictions- FRIDAY

[betao]

I like Boourns Set Times.

Basically, seeing The Specials conflict with Fever Ray really made me sad

[goldfromla]

Fix the Sahara Set Times to this:

Aeroplane: 1-2

DJ Lance Rock: 220-330

Pablo Hassan: 340-430

Passion Pit: 440-6

The Proxy: 620-730

Wolfgang Gartner: 740-830

Erol Alkan: 840-930
(Jay Z will start main stage between 9-10)
Benny Benassi: 940-1030

Deadmau5- 1040-12

i have a feeling passion pit will get crystal castles set time from last year, either that or 5 pm on the main stage

[clumsy342]

I was JUST thinking that about Passion Pit.
Because I agree with what was said before (La Roux isn't big enough to be in the Sahara), and Passion Pit might be and they are definitely billed for it.

[guedita]

I will bet money that La Roux is in the Sahara.

[FoxeyLady]

I could see passion pit in the mojave at night as well.

[clumsy342]

Ok so if Passion Pit were in the Mojave..

would you think:

Yeasayer > Passion Pit > Grace Jones > Fever Ray ?

[clumsy342]

That doesn't look half bad actually.. and I'm sticking La Roux in the Sahara for now. we can debate that later. (btw, I can't get Bulletproof out of my head)

[Radiohead]

Romor has it that Jay-Z will open the festival at noon on Friday. Calle 13 will play the stage from 8 pm to midnight.

what'dya think?

[PassiveTheory]

Clumsy, you are out of your fucking mind if you think TWBA are playing at night in the Gobi. That's all.

[menikmati]

I see Baroness playing later in the day.

[BrettShipes]

For reference, Going off the last two years, here's the general number of acts scheduled per day/per stage. I didn't include 2007 in those numbers because the days started later.

Main 7-8
Outdoor 7-9
Gobi 7-9
Mojave 9-10
Sahara 10-11

Sundays threw off the Gobi numbers by both years ending it early, it's typically pretty packed.

[PassiveTheory]

You might as well swap Baroness and TWBA.

[betao]

Yeah TBWA will be on in the mid afternoon in one of the tents. But apart from that, I like it.

Fever Ray vs. Public Image Ltd is rough, but I could last.

[FoxeyLady]

looks pretty good though, we started pretty early this year, there's not a lot more we can really do until closer to the fest as info starts trickling in, but this looks like a good start.

[guedita]

My question about Grace Jones is that she has a pretty elaborate production/stage set up--will it fit into the Mojave?

[goldfromla]

Romor has it that Jay-Z will open the festival at noon on Friday. Calle 13 will play the stage from 8 pm to midnight.

I will contain myself, and only say YOU are a fuck head if you believe this

[goldfromla]

I will bet money that La Roux is in the Sahara.

yeah swap passion pit with La Roux.

[clumsy342]

Good call on Baroness/TWBA.

I concur sir.
I didn't want to start this early, but that's just how it ended up. So let's get them looking decent and then set them on the back burner for a while.

We still have adds, people switching days, dropped acts to expect.

[BrettShipes]

My question about Grace Jones is that she has a pretty elaborate production/stage set up--will it fit into the Mojave?

For sure, think Gogol Bordello or Sharon Jones, she'll tear the place down, and it'll be fantastic for those who see it.

Updated: 1/24 @ 10:36 am

Little Dragon will be at 3 or 4pm at the latest. I'd say make the Outdoor go Specials->PiL->Echo because Echo isn't a reunion and reunions never go against the headliners, so PiL won't be conflicting with Jay-Z.

[Dr. Lufs-al-ot]

Passion Pit is probably going to take MGMT's slot from 08
What was that, 4-5? I cant remember

[FoxeyLady]

They are billed much higher than MGMT was though.

[Raptor Clinton]

Damn it. Choosing between Fever Ray and Public Image Limited is hard hard hard hard hard.

[DanaCarly]

yo, passion pit will definitely play at a bigger space, I think outdoor theater.

[Egull]

I really hope the set times are nothing like this...
Grizzly Bear Vs. Little Dragon Vs. Wolfgang Gartner???
She & Him Vs. Deer Tick Vs. Proxy and kind of Yeasayer in this conflict.
And the fact I only want to see one band up until 6pm.

[Grant]

Damn it. Choosing between Fever Ray and Public Image Limited is hard hard hard hard hard.

See a little bit of both?

[Dr. Lufs-al-ot]

This is turning into my conflict day -_-

I hope Passion Pit is moved somewhere, although it wouldnt really bug me if I missed them, ive already seen them twice.

[Raptor Clinton]

See a little bit of both?

Maybe, although I've found settling with one set and sticking with it is far more rewarding. Fever Ray's songs all sound pretty similar, though, so maybe it will work out.
