[idrive1life]

Book them now, please.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

actually I agree with spinecraft. what is wrong with me

[lowfront]

[betao]

Arman is better at creating threads than you are, spinecraft.

I second this motion.

If you want to see Chemical Bros, they're playing this summer at the Hollywood Bowl. done and done.

Cuz, y'know, we all live in socal and all.

And, I mean, the Hollywood bowl is the PERFECT place to see them. So much better than the Sahara Tent. Totally.

Hell Yeah, The hollywood bowl is such an awesome venue. I think that was sarcastic, but I'd rather see them at the Bowl than the Sahara. The Sahara crowd has really gone downhill.

[untzcrate]

They KILLED the Sahara tent with their live set back in '05.

I fully support this thread.

[fancy restaurant]

Sure, the Chems would be cool to have at Coachella again.

The part that I don't get is what "bs craps" are you talking about? Why do people complain so much about the acts that are booked in the Sahara?

I thought this year was an excellent year for the Sahara.

My first thought too.

Sure the crowd might have been iffy at times but it's still the Sahara. There's no other place I'd rather see a massive EDM act like the Chems, so far anyway. Though I might have to revisit this statement after their Hollywood Bowl show

Seemed pretty solid to me.

Would anyone support Chemical Brothers on the Main stage? I know they did it way back in the day. Sahara would be great, but it would be packed as hell. Chemical Brother's in Tiesto's slot could be amazing, closest you can get to the epicness of some of their European gigs.

[betao]

I agree with the vast majority of your list, Arman.

However, you gotta take MANDY off the 09 list. They were awesome.

[idrive1life]

All right. Ceasefire on that one. I'll take them out. Thanks man.

That's why. This isn't Europe, or America 7+ years ago. Big named EDM acts just lose alot of energy in open-air shows when compared to tent shows. More people just standing around bobbing their heads as opposed to getting their groove on.

chembros? meh

your 2009 list is preposterous purely because it includes chems but that is actually everyone i skipped in 2010 except for club 75.

Big difference between a dj set and a live set. I agree with most of the list.. except I'd take off Terry Mullan, Dj Heather, Charles Feelgood, Derek Carter, Jason Bentley.. Those are all great for early in the Sahara.

[boarderwoozel3]

It makes a strong argument....

[Lurker_in_a_tree]

I liked Dayhota.

Damn, 2002 is now "way back in the day"...

[summerkid]

I love the chems (seeing them at the hollywood bowl) but c'mon they play Coachella all the time. I want to see something different (too bad we'll probably get Justice again).

[psycobetabuckdown]

They haven't played live at Coachella in a long time. As in, they haven't played their own songs in a long time. Plus, really, how many Sahara headliners or major electronic acts are there in general? We aren't there as a society yet.

[gaypalmsprings]

I say a DJ set in the DO Lab.

Jason Bentley was awesome. He dropped the new Chems track at the end of his set, it was awesome.

well next year we are probably going to get Daft Punk, Justice, and ????. I would rather Leftfield most likely it will be somebody like Paul Oakenfold or Armin van Burren.

They haven't done a live set in 5 years.

[Bleezie]

C'mon people we need to show this thread some love! The Chems MUST close out one of the nights!
