Expect a Sahara headliner to still be announced - I agree with you. I think Tiesto has one sewn up.

felix isn't to that level yet?

Seriously GV has already had the majority of the epic electronic acts that can properly rock out out the Sahara [daft punk, kraftwerk, underworld]. They need to bring in APHEX TWIN or should consider Rabbit In The Moon.. if you've ever seen their live show you know what i'm talking about!!
Doesn't Faithless count as a headliner?
Faithless/FTHC might be one on Friday, LCD soundsytem/Tiesto on Saturday, Soulwax/PVD on Sunday
but yeah, i agree sahara headliners need upgrade.
And we need a upgrade in hip hop too. Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, Madlib, MF Doom, or Afrika Bambaataa anyone?
Who cares when you've got talent like Justice, Digitalism, Erol Alkan, Evil Nine and Soulwax!...but I do agree, Tiesto and PVD are tired.
now that im thinking about it, maybe willie nelson will do a DJ set
I guess Faithless could headline, but they don't draw here like they do in the UK
WE NEED UNDERWORLD!!!!!

Why is Tiesto billed so much higher than Van Dyk? I predict he gets knocked down unles he's doing one of his live sets.
Even though PVD and Tiesto always duke it out for the 1 and 2 most popular DJ's in the world, Tiesto's is just the more popular draw among trance crackers. He's a bigger name than PVD among the general public.
Tiesto doesn't DJ anymore. I read he only uses Live now. Thus any set of his is a live set, even though for trance that's pretty meaningless. All it really means is there's no chance of train wrecks. You're paying tons of money to watch him either play his pre-wired set.
I'm so sick of this vinyl-only elitist bullshit.
there are so many people who play electronic/dance/techno music who don't use vinyl yet still come up with much much much more interesting shit than either tiesto or pvd
I think for Friday night the headliners are intended to be Faithless and DJ Shadow (in which order, I'm not sure). That's fine with me, but Saturday needs another big name to go with Tiesto, and likewise for Sunday with PvD. I expect Underworld added to close it down Sunday night and something like Sasha/Digweed added to Saturday. I've got my fingers crossed for Aphex Twin and Squarepusher to be thrown in there somewhere as well!
who cares... rage is playin
Those of us who like to dance care.
Sasha and Digweed would be excellent, but they were just in LA for NYE.
If Faithless can be a Sahara headliner, I'm worried someone might decide to throw Happy Mondays in there...
DAT Politics is a really fun band btw... not a headliner but great group of frenchies.
I think the sahara has quite the lineup this year. It could use maybe one more big add, but its pretty stacked maybe not at the top, but mstrkrft, soulwax, justice, vnv nation, faithless, infected mushroom, hawtin.
dancing is fun i agree... i love to dance, but i also like good music like ratm
im sure that there are most likely millions of people who do not consider rage to be good music, but i also do not expect those people to be at coachella.... its rage against the machine---but i guess there not a big deal or anything!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like I'm one of the only 3 people that find RATM juvenile and annoying. thousands of priveleged white kids chanting "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME" doesn't really do it for me.
S.O.S. Save Our Sahara
