PROOF that COACHELLA DANCE SAHARA LINE-UP is MAINSTREAM and LAME as HELL this year

[Monko762]

I wish I could do that with my launchpad. =(

[philabuster]

It's a conspiracy to let the cheese lovers buy up the tix, then it sells out and Cemical Bros, Daft Punct and Jesus are announced as actual headliners, then all the people who like good music will be mad cuz they gotta pay so much to see jesus and richie hawtin and douches will still be happy

Will Jesus DJ or play a live set?

[DANCE MAGIC]

And Carl Cox is a great DJ. His sound is hardly mainstream.

why do the two have to be mutually exclusive?

[andrewfubar]

then go to edc you fuckin newb. coachella is an experience that cant be reckend with. isnt coachella about up and comers too? eat a bag of dicks, alll of us will be having the time of our lives

[andrewfubar]

agreed

[SepaGroove]

MIke, gimme some NERO that i should check out

Check out their album, Welcome Reality. Also watch some live performances of theirs because their music translates really well live, and they have a pretty cool setup. Apparently they're playing LIVE at Coachella, and recently they have been touring with a live vocalist.

Here's footage from their show at the former Music Box back in October

[Bons222000]

Other festival's lineups have warmed me to the Coachella lineup, especially with Electric Zoo and EDC being announced today. I think we can take it that simply not that many great DJs (at least big ones) are extensively touring the states this spring. Certainly the Coachella EDM lineup is better than the EDC lineup thus far. Plus you get bands at Coachella. You know, bands like Radiohead.

By the way Justice will be better than any of the "headliners" at EDC.

Still, overall people on the Forum just like to bitch about lineups.

[nerdtram]

...and admittedly I do wanna see Justice, cuz I haven't seen him before, but I will say I'm quite skeptical about his set. same with Calvin Harris.

HIM!?! you mean them?

[anonimouse]

oh this thread again

just dont go. or just spend the whole day in the dome or dont-lab listening to DJs no one but EDM hipsters care about. be sure to come back in a few years and tell us how lame they are when said DJs are playing the sahara

[arsgunner]

i would trade all those crappy dj's for good dance music like glass candy..even kings of leon would be good enough

[Neighborhood Creep]

EDM hipsters? It doesn't take much to realize a lot of the Do Lab DJs are much more interesting than some of the bigger names in the Sahara. Give them a listen

[SepaGroove]

Totally agree with this

[SepaGroove]

^^ This Jesus interpretation looks strangely similar to Liam Neeson.

[Mugwog]

Hav you seen "Taken"?! That man is the second coming

[VOLVOX17]

I'm just jealous EDC gets Kaskade twice! They are goona be extra clean.

[SepaGroove]

Haha yea I have. He's a bad ass in that.

Actually now that I think about it he always plays a bad ass. This is all making sense now.

[Vic Viper]

good dance music like...kings of leon

[myvelouria94]

All fully legit:

post invalid.

[tjoynt]

Thank you! That was my exact reaction.

Seriously though, everybody has different musical tastes. If you don't like the "big name" headliners, don't go see them. There are enough kick-ass producers/djs/musicians to keep you busy all day long. If not, then don't go and let someone who will enjoy it go instead.

I may not like the huge popularity of big name DJ "X", but I'm not surprised that they are performing *AT A HUGE POPULAR MUSIC FESTIVAL*. If you don't want to soil your ear with such tripe, then stick to small local events. I personally enjoy both.

[krewechief]

i hope all the DJ acts are jam packed...will free up space for the real music.

[jiggly]

which sahara act is most likely to play some shit like this?

[weezy f baby]

literally the only artist on this list thats maybe (over)due for a coachella appearance is carl cox. he alone does not improve this lineup that much over coachella's EDM.

yo tard-blog.org, why don't you check out Knife Party before you start hating.

Also, this year still has some hidden gems. Don't sleep on Porter. If you've never seen him DJ before, then you really don't know what you're talking about. There is still some legit shit. You just gotta know what to look for. That said, they're proly not gonna be in the Sahara. But the Mojave has legit stuff every year too.

[Wheres the beef?]

All of the artists that Bryce just named here are some of my favorite artists that I listen to all year round, and am really excited to see at Coachella.

Proof that the sahara lineup is a piece of shit.

[aphrael]

Using your logic Plastikman is mainstream since they booked him last year.

And Chase & Status were one of the best acts in the Sahara last year.

And Carl Cox is a great DJ. His sound is hardly mainstream.

I get that he has that reputation.

And yet ... I listened to a little bit more than half of the UMF livestream. Carl Cox was the *only* musician streamed whose set just flat bored me.

Because Coachella doesn't have a line up? lol

[philabuster]

Chase and Status are proof the problem has more to do with the people who attend Coachella than the promotor's desire to book shitty EDM. We got to the Sahara for the last few minutes of Duck Sauce to get a good spot for Chase and Status. As soon as Duck Sauce ended the tent cleared. We had a blast at Chase and Status but it was strange dancing in the empty tent.
