I would move Justice to Girl Talk's slot, closing the Outdoor Theatre
Florence should be in Justice's slot, with Beirut playing before.
Girl Talk should play before Justice.
Wild Flag should close the Gobi...Beats Antique should be out of the Sahara...and switch Thundercat with Le Butcherettes
What was the thinking behind having Justice on the mainstage during daylight?
What about having Justice close the Outdoor to a silent main like Thom York did in 2010? Then Dre and Snoop close out the main to a silent outdoor.
Coachella
Dre and Snoop 10:40
AT The Drive In 8:35-9:35
Florence And The Machine 7:20-8:10
Outdoor
Justice 9:35-10:35
Girl Talk 8:20-9:10
Beirut 7:05-7:55

I thought about that too, but I figured I throw up the Justice on the Main scenario.
also - the logic behind it is that Justice is listed third. They're subheadlining. Which means they will likely play the Main. And MOST likely will not conflict with either ATDI or Dre/Snoop.
Also that slot is similar to Kraftwerk in 2008.
ALSO they've already closed out the Sahara twice. I doubt it happens again, especially since they are subheadlining this year.
justice vs. beirut vs. aarabmuzik vs. fitz & the tantrums--oo not sure i'd be happy about that. obviously justice would win out in that decision, but it'd be quite a bummer to miss the others.
That makes sense. I was just throwing out the idea of them closing the Outdoor since some people were saying it would take a long time to take down their stage setup and they did have the #3 billed act in 2010 Thom Yorke close the outdoor to a silent main so there is a precedent.
I think its totally a viable option. I was just explaining to bobert (or anyone else who didn't get it)
Is there any way that Modeselektor & Dre/Snoop will not conflict? I have been dreading this since the lineup was announced, but I have been resigned to the fact that this will likely happen. Ugh.
For your health
this fake lineup is lacking in realism
No you shouldn't get involved if you are comparing Wiz and The Weeknd. They aren't even the same genre. It's not the drug references, it's the overall ambiance of their music. Wiz is happy, summery, laid back rap songs. Perfect for daytime. The Weeknd sounds like desperately drunk dialing an ex while on a coke comedown at 3:30 at night. I doubt anybody involved with the project has seen sunlight for months. The mixtapes reek of insomnia. Anybody who is remotely familiar with their music is going to agree. There is absolutely no way in hell they play main or daytime or even sunset. Nighttime in the Mojave or Outdoor are the only two options here.
I don't see the Growlers closing the Gobi. I see them as an earlier Mojave slot
Also Justice will be closing the Sahara... Definitely not a mainstage act unless they play after Dre & Snoop.
But maybe there will be an ADD! And then Justice won't be top three!!
Seriously though, I'm coming around to Justice on the outdoor, maybe against ATDI (with a silent outdoor for Dre/Snoop) because it seems like there is going to be more fan overlap with Justice/Dre than with Justice/ATDI. In this situation, throw Calvin against Justice and AVICII against Dre.
