LEFTFIELD

[CrimesceneCookie]

I suspect that Leftfeild will be playing late to a thinned-out crowd of diehards like Orbital/Plastikman last year. This possibility makes me very pleased.

yup. I suspect even less people know Leftfield than knew Orbital. Should be plenty of room to dance.

According to their myspace page, they are playing the dance tent (Sahara) at 7pm. This rules out a Kanye and Strokes/Leftfield conflict, as well as any Sahara conflict, and I'm going to guess Trentemoller/DFA conflicts as well, especially if they play Sahara, or perhaps close another stage. This is good news! Although isn't the sun still out at 7pm? If so, would that be such a bad thing for those familiar with their live show?

Anyways, here's the link

sun sets around 7:30, which means it will just be starting to get a little darker around 7. In the tent it should pretty much feel like night, especially by the middle of the set.

That time would also make sense if the Sahara sunday looks something like this:

Sven Vath 11:00-12:00
Axwell 10:00-11:00
Bloody Beetroots 9:00-10:00
Duck Sauce 8:00-9:00
Leftfield 7:00-8:00

Now hopefully there's no PJ conflict...

They just shot up my list of must sees for the weekend. They are gonna be epic!! Just please no dfa, strokes, or Kanye conflicts please.

Shit, guess that answers my question in the last post. Excellent news!!

[Wheres the beef?]

Song of life (or the first 10 minutes of that Electric Picnic set) has been getting heavy airplay on my earbuds. What a monster of a track.

[betao]

No way Leftfield plays THAT early. They'll be on 9pm at the earliest.

On Facebook it says that stage times are tbc, so we do not know when they are playing. Here is the link to the Facebook page.

look where they are billed though. there are 4 (potentially 5) Sahara acts billed above them.

Matt, Leftfield are a nostalgic novelty act at this point. I think the 6pm-7pm range is about right. Duck Sauce, Axwell, Bloody Beetroots, The Presets and Chromeo will probably all play after.

Leftfield live @ Homelands 2000

Fair warning; this is fire.

I can't rave about this set enough. Thank you for sharing this, Jeff. Absolutely insta-classic for me.

"You are the best! You are the best!"

Fuck the Presets, Duck Sauce, Bloody Beetroots AND Chromeo.

[Donaldj]

Oh, I agree. I don't want to see any of those but they are way more relevant right now.

[Donaldj]

If Caspa plays the Sahara I could almost see him closing after Axwell too.

[unknown]

Vomit. What a gross night after Leftfield.

Edit: Donald, where would Sven and Trentemoller fall into your scenario?

[guedita]

Maybe Leftfield will be on the outdoor.

[BlackSwan]

Donald is right.

[Brochella]

As long as Leftfield/Sven/Trentmoller don't conflict with Kanye/DFA, I'll be happy

[Donaldj]

I think it will go Sven Vath around 4, Trentemoller around 5, Leftfield around 6 then Chromeo or The Presets, Duck Sauce, Axwell and I have a feeling the Bloody Beetroots may close or possibly Caspa.

[IzGewd]

if caspa plays sahara it will be early. Denitely not closing out the festival

[Donaldj]

I'm not saying I think Caspa deserves to close out the Sahara but I wouldn't be surprised if he did as a wildcard seeing as dubstep is pretty popular right now and Caspa is one of the more well known names. I think The Bloody Beetroots and either The Presets or Chromeo will definitely play late at night based on Coachella's past history of booking buzz live EDM bands at night. We know Axwell is headlining Sunday and I will be shocked if Ducksauce doesn't take one of the prime slots.

[unknown]

If I can catch Sven, trentemoller, leftfield and High Contrast on the last day of Coachella - oh my cuss what a way to end the weekend.

I'm listening to your Melt 2.0 set and Kaleidescope is on. Awwww I can't wait for April. Sorry to highjack with HC gushing.

[GolfWang]

I think Chromeo will be on the outdoor this year. And you guys really think Sven will play that early? Look where he is billed.

[betao]

look where they are billed though. there are 4 (potentially 5) Sahara acts billed above them.

Matt, Leftfield are a nostalgic novelty act at this point. I think the 6pm-7pm range is about right. Duck Sauce, Axwell, Bloody Beetroots, The Presets and Chromeo will probably all play after.

The same logic can be applied to Orbital, who went on around 8 (about them being a novelty act). It also depends on production-level; the one with the biggest will play last. Where was Etienne De Crecy billed in 09, and how many acts played before him that were billed higher?

Leftfield may not close, but I highly doubt they'll play any earlier than 8.

It will also depend on if GV decides to close the Sahara early on Sunday again. Which, holy shit. They better not.

[betao]

Actually, maybe Leftfield will get The Orb spot as such they did in 09?

*I guess it will depend on how "serious" that posted time slot from their myspace.

[Donaldj]

Leftfield or Trentemoller could end up in the Gobi or Majave. I could see that. I knew you were going to bring up Orbital last year as an argument but this year's Sunday lineup is very different than last year's. Guys like Axwell and the Bloody Beetroots are seriously going to fill the Sahara. Leftfield will not.

[betao]

I know they'll fill the Sahara, but I still like to think that GV has some will on putting the older/reunion acts on towards the end of the night. It will be interesting to see how they put this night together indeed.

god I'm glad I don't do the set times for a festival like this.

Did anyone post this?:

Live Date announcement

In addition to the live dates in Australia already announced as part of the Future Music Festival tour, the Leftfield tour will be announcing a couple of dates in the US very soon, shortly followed by European festival dates.

Neil Barnes is very pleased to say that he is working on new material for a forthcoming album.

http://www.leftfieldtour.co.uk/

More US dates are coming... And forthcoming album? Forthcoming Leftfield album?

[betao]

Awesome news indeed!

Would it still be released as Leftfield?

[chickonmytip]
