Official Bring Back The Insomniac Tent Petition

[malcolmjamalawesome]

So, I see there were 2 rave tents in 2001.

We could use 2 rave tents. With an outdoor rave area between the 2 tents that you can rave in when you go from 1 rave tent to another (a la Pukkelpop). Maybe put the Do Lab in between the 2.

Lease more land. Put another tent in. A rave tent. The Insomniac Tent.

The Sahara tent that year was actually the Gobi and the Insomniac was the real Sahara.
If I remember correct the Sahara was actually at the entrance of the festival. Kind of where the beer gardens are now.

It was pretty bad ass walking in and hearing Andrea Parker right away.

This is correct. I remember seeing Dieselboy/Dara/AK1200 on that stage. The Sahara was more of a DnB/Hip Hop/Misc. tent and the Insomiac Tent had Uberzone, Adam Freeland, Ian Pooley, Fatboy Slim, The Chemical Brothers, etc.

This set-up seemed super-chill

[boarderwoozel3]

Could not be more on board with this.

[koryp]

Seems like a good renaming for the campground tent.

[leo01g]

Yes please

[emtgreg]

Great idea, but how would this make business sense to either Paul T or Pasquale have to gain from doing this?

Remember, half the reason they did that in 01 was to have more eggs in more baskets, so to speak, to ensure that Coachella would exist in the future.

[gaypalmsprings]

I'm going to have to sleep on this.

[OnlyNonStranger]

Just don't get rid of the Gobi, that is usually where all my favorite acts play.

[Gribbz]

Damn fine work MJA.

[Theijuiel]

I'm down for this, just no sound bleed.

[emtgreg]

But yes, another rave tent would be awesome, let me make that clear Possibly, use one of the other polo fields, make a real, substantial increase to the size of the fest?

[weezy f baby]

The Sahara tent back then was super tiny. Smaller than the Gobi. That year it was all about the Mohave. Planet of the Drums into Ace One into Del into Plaid into the muthafuckin Squarepusha and ending the night with Sigor Ros and hopping over to Chemical Bros. The Insomniac tent was basically what we know now as the Sahara and it was bad ass. Fatboy Slim killed it and so did the Chem Bros. The night was still stolen by Squarepusher who fuckin murdered it and basically was the only opportunity anyone had of seeing him play his Go Plastic! set which he's retired since.

This is how I remember it as well. I also thought Uberzone was sick as fuck that year.

oh the memories...Squarepusher did fucking murder that night

Unfortunately, I didn't catch much of Fatboy, due to staring in complete awe at Sigur Ros with my jaw dropped to the floor...but I promptly sprinted over to catch the Chems close out the night

I caught 1/2 of Sigur Ros and 1/2 of Fatboy Slim. I remember thinking there was slight overlap to their sets.

[weezy f baby]

Oh hai look wat I found









The quality is bad. But at least it's online. I only have an mp3 of his set. No video.

Oh yeah. Fuck your shitty dubstep. THIS is bass music.

[Still-ill]

Yeah move the fucking Do Lab. I fucking hate how loud it is there on a regular basis. Noise bleed central.

I really like the Do Lab, but yes, they need to move it.

[weeklymix]

Signed with the hopes that the day acts will maybe lean a bit toward IDM...?

[algunz]

Why can't we bring back the Dome? We don't need a whole other tent.

[summerkid]

please god no. The last thing Coachella needs are more ravers.

[Gribbz]

please god no. The last thing Coachella needs are more ravers.

We might not have Coachella today if it wasn't for "ravers."

[summerkid]

We might not have Coachella today if it wasn't for "ravers."

I don't care. Ravers are scum keep as many of them away from Coachella as possible please.

[WhyTheLongFace]

*sigh* Great hip hop on every stage except the rave tents. I need that Coachella back.

[WhyTheLongFace]

LOL @ MC Supernatural getting 2 sets. Coachella should do that more often. But like with artists worth doing it for.

Nevermind he had 3 sets. WTF!?!

[lickety_spit]

last act at 11pm? the insomniac tent was inappropriately named.

[psycobetabuckdown]

I support a campground tent called the Insomniac Tent.

[PlayaDelWes]

While we are at it, bring back that Insomniac show with Dave Attell
