I'd like to check out this band, but Friday is totally swamped. I don't know if I even want to try. Do you think DJ Shadow or Faithless will close the Sahara tent?

[fober]

I'm thinking Faithless will close the Sahara tent on Friday night.

[matsuolost]

lets rock

Oh man, that was fucking awesome!

Friday's conflicts are going to be hell.

[fober]

They just swapped Faithless and Dj Shadow on the official poster, so I'm pretty confident Faithless will be closing the Sahara Tent on Friday night.

[FuzztheCat]

Not to burst your bubble, but I've seen faithless a few times and they aren't even in the same ball park. They're good and they're fun, but they're not Daft. Daft Punk last year was simply off the charts amazing. I will be blown away if Faithless is even half as good as Daft was last year. I am actually a little disappointed that there are no real headliners in the sahara tent this year....tiesto and van dyke don't count!!! Maybe they will add some?!?!?!!

They're good and they're fun, but they're not Daft.

Read in cockney accent and laugh.

[summerkid]

i know i'm so bumbed i have to miss faithless oh well. JAMC + BJORK WOOO!!!

[fober]

Here's another:

For the record, I don't mean to say Faithless will perform a similar set to Daft Punk.

I'm saying not many stateside have seen Faithless perform, so they don't know what to expect, similar to Daft Punk.

I believe the audience will be pleasantly surprised, especially considered the lack of other high-energy electronic acts, thus far.

i think MSTRKRFT is this years daft punk. they are doooope!

[mschirmersf]

Hardly.
Faithless is alright. Some of their music is good, but a lot of it is cheesy techno. Especially their earlier stuff.
Daft Punk is in a category all by their lonesome.
If you were there last year, they made about 5000 people cream their pants!

[starrdogg]

Argh, I'd really like to see Faithless, but they likely will be closing out the Sahara Tent, hence conflicting with Bjork. Think they have any chance of playing the mainstage?

[sighlent]

can we please not talk about Daft Punk anymore, i'm still so bummed I couldn't make it last year to see them.

[maddjester]

nothing is better than daft punk.... i dont care what anyone says...
i saw them 3 times (Coachella in California, Pukkelpop in Belgium, and Bud Rising in Dublin, Ireland) and let me tell you...each one of those shows....was jsut...brilliant. It will never be topped by any other elctronic show....period.

[joppy-slow]

Get ready for Justice, Erol Alkan, and MSTRKRFT.. I think Justice is on Ed. Bangers label (same manager as Daft Punk). Soulwax should be very tight also... they have some fun stuff on youtube. Faithless is not this years Daft Punk. not even on the same bar..

[elChurro]

cool, another pretty light show.

[instinct]

I can't wait for Justice, Faithless, and MSTRKRFT.

Soulwax should be sick too.

digitalism and justice are awesome though! I caught them at pukkelpop didnt see them at budrising. But yea them and DP were together at pukkelpop and budrising...it was SSWWWEEEEEETTT they will put on a good show

[ciaoq]

faithless are no where near the league of DP. faithless are really good if you have never seen them before. but if you have its miss, miss, miss.

[C DUB YA]

OR THIS ONE!

[C DUB YA]

I Like this one as well - they fucking rock live!

Friday is gonna hurt

[crazzz2007]

can we please not talk about Daft Punk anymore, i'm still so bummed I couldn't make it last year to see them.

HA HA, you missed the greatest Sahara performance in Coachella history, maybe one of the top 5 performances ever in Coachella history.

[C DUB YA]

DAFT PUNK
definitely top 5 performances ever. In my top 3 acutally. Behind UW in 99 and Lamb in 99

[orbit]

can we please not talk about Daft Punk anymore, i'm still so bummed I couldn't make it last year to see them.

Yeah, I couldnt make it either. Fuck it, but still have the little hope to see them this year.. Please GV, kick RHCP out from there, and bring Daft Punk.

Faithless cant headline the Sahara Tent, please not.

[piperatthegates]

Faithless are good live but lack that onstage electricity... I reckon DJ Shadow is a good bet for the Friday.
Downloaded Daft Punk at Coachella from last year.. amazing!! but it's the exact same set they played everywhere. I saw them in Dublin and got a feeling it wasnt Bangalter & H-C in those suits??
Arctic Monkeys are quality live, raw as phuk!!
Listen Out for Rodrigo y Gabriela, a mindblowing rock/flamenco infusion, they made their name in Ireland busking... I remember watching them on Grafton St. in Dublin and being astounded...
Anyhoo, enough crap out of me... Great line up... Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Air, Rage Against The Machine... Well worth travelling a few thousand miles Nuff Said

I don't know who else would

My vote is to add Daft Punk, Lamb, AND Underworld (and Portishead, of course).

You need to see Orbital, Chemical Brothers or the Prodigy... They're up they're, im not sure the Daft set is as live as everyone seems to think...
Still phukin amazing though...
Dublin was good with DJ Falcon supporting... live.

Yeah, I'm with you about the Chemical Brothers. I thought their set from 2005 topped Daft Punks from last year. Both were fucking fantastic, I think the chem bros just have more material to weave into a set.
