SET TIME PREDICTIONS 2011 - SATURDAY

[goldfromla]

I did a mock up using most of clumsys times but with some changes. I thought this would be quicker than making all the suggestions I have.


Sahara (?!?!)
Steve Angello 1130
Paul Van Dyk 950 - 1120
Fedde Le Grand 820 - 950
Shpongle 720 - 820
Chuckie 550 - 720
Laidback Luck 420 - 550
Joachim Garraud 300 - 420
The Twelves 200 - 300
EE 100 - 200

switch laidback luke with chuckie that seems much more fitting for the sunset spot

[dorkfish]

720-820 is not a night slot. switch Shpongle with Steve Angello.

[guedita]

I don't know how Brad could get ANY CLEARER about Shpongle closing the Sahara. Which I pointed out like weeks ago.

[Tandemind]

Weeks ago?

[guedita]

6 days is practically an entire month on the internet. FACT.

[rage patton]

Shpongle vs Arcade Fire makes a lot of sense. and will not be the least bit surpised if that happens... but I still cant see Shpongle closing the Sahara. The Gobi or Mojave makes much more sense to me.

[clumsy342]

Shpongle closing the Sahara? what'd I miss?
(i know what their set up looks like.. but i missed anyone mentioning them closing)

[guedita]

I think we need to look more closely at the clue dorkfish has given us about Shpongle. He keeps saying that it will be at night, and since the dude's set up is that bizarre Etienne like cube thing, I'm thinking this means he will be closing the Sahara. I know Swedish House Mafia said that Axwell/Angello are "closing out" the dance tent, but I don't think that is set in stone for Saturday. I also sort of think that the Sahara might only have 9 acts in it on Saturday. With really long set times for some of the names.

...

[clumsy342]

ok. i do remember that.
and rage, I think Shpongle's music could fit the Mojave/Gobi, but no way they set up their stage show in either of those tents.

[ShyGuy75]

tallest man on earth will play during the day

and

mumford and sons will be on the main before arcade fire

[guedita]

Animal Collective will be on the main before Arcade Fire. This has been exclusively confirmed to me and others by someone directly associated with the band.

[rage patton]

Really? You dont think it would fit in at least the mojave?

[Tandemind]

Clumsy, the confirmed and rumored set times you listed last year were very helpful.

[Bud Luster]

It's a DJ set anyway so it isn't like there will be some elaborate set up. It should fit in the campground stage even.

[ShyGuy75]

well that is horrible news which logistically makes no sense to me

That sucks unbelievably large donkey balls.

[guedita]

It's not just a DJ set. It's the Shpongle presents the Shpongletron Experience if you look at the Line-Up section of the mainpage. Which is this:

!!!

[clumsy342]

bud - The Shpongletron Experience is a little more than a DJ set. youtube it.

Rage, I'm saying there's never been a set up that elaborate in the Mojave. So I really doubt it. Also, anytime "DJ Set" is listed on the poster, it's in the Sahara.

And guedita, I'm not sure that I would take that as a hint that Shpongle will close the Sahara. I think the Swedish House Mafia thing sounds legit. It's kind of a leap of faith to take "SHM will be closing the tent" and turn it into "maayybbee Shpongle instead".

[guedita]

You guys know that dorkfish knows things, right? This is fucking frustrating.

[Tandemind]

Having Shpongle play second to last in the Sahara is the perfect solution.

Dorkfish never said closing.

Edit:

Further explanation: With the rest of the night filled with DJs, they can set up the Shpongletron behind the curtain, unveil it for his set, then drop the curtain back down for Steve Angello.

[guedita]

720-820 is not a night slot. switch Shpongle with Steve Angello.

Oh my god.

You think the Sahara is more likely to look like:

Laidback Luke > Fedde Le Grand > Paul Van Dyk > Shpongletron > Axwell

than:

Laidback Luke > Fedde Le Grand > Paul Van Dyk > Axwell > Shpongletron

Why? That's sort of silly.

[braundiggity]

well that is horrible news which logistically makes no sense to me

The second-listed act on a given day always opens for the headliner, no? What would be so logistically hard about it (full disclosure: haven't seen Animal Collective, not a fan)?

[concertgoer]

I agree. I dislkie AC but I was expecting them to be in slot before Arcade Fire.

[rage patton]

Why does it not make any sense? Since when has the main sub EVER not opened up for the headliner? (Excluding Daft Punk in 06).

Exactly.

Good point about the DJ Set part... but what is this about SHM? Were they added or something?

[guedita]

When the lineup was announced, Swedish House Mafia's facebook page posted this:

Coachella.......are you ready? Steve Angello headlines Sahara Tent on Saturday, Axwell headlines on Sunday. See you at the front? Love SHM

Headlining doesn't mean closing.

[rage patton]

Muse was the top billed band on Saturday in 2010. Tiesto closed the mainstage on Saturday in 2010. Who was the headliner?

I think this logic can be applied to the Sahara tent as well.

EDIT: Shongle closing sure make a hell of a lot more sense than Shpongle conflicting with Animal Collective anyways.

[Tandemind]

Boom goes the dynamite.

Listen to Dorkfish (and Guedita too, I guess).

[Gribbz]

lolshpongletron.

[guedita]

You mean Shplolngletron.
