Deadmau5 and Skrillex on the main? Also not sure if Pretty Lights is a Sahara act now. Outdoor? Gobi? Love his show but it may bore the zombies.

[Porkchop]

YOU GUYS BOTH HAVE THE WORST FUCKING PREDICTIONS/WISHLIST. BAN ALL SHITTY MUSIC FROM SAHARA!

[cured]

There is a difference between a wishlist and a prediction.

[TickleMeElmo]

Armin van Buuren
Knife Party
Gareth Emery
Skrillex
Steve Aoki
Fake Blood (finally...)
Dillon Francis
Gesaffelstein
The Avalanches
Zomboy
Rusko
Alvin Risk
Mord Fustang

I'd say Underworld too but I have a feeling they wouldn't play the Sahara

It's a fucking prediction, you retard. I didn't say that I would like to see it. This is just what I think it's going to be.

[cured]

The Avalanches...talk about a long overdue second album...

If AvB is booked, does the Sahara become ASOT 575 or whatever?

These are all completely plausible. Underworld would be your "Mojave Sunday Token IDM act".

[TickleMeElmo]

Or Outdoor Theatre closer.

I think it lands around 600, but I doubt GV would let him get his own trance stage.

If that prediction comes true I say we burn that mother down.

[cured]

Tricky needs to weigh in. May not be pretty but is it plausible?

that would be a stacked sahara. It would be dope if we had ghostland royksopp and cut copy headlining the mohave each night

[travelfan]

That Nicky Romero dude. Everybody that was on Avicii's dick this time last year is all over this guy. Count it.

Relatively speaking? Maybe.

But that list represents essentially more of the same. Tired names ranging from safe and inoffensive to truly god awful. So ... probably a solid prediction.

[GuyInTucson]

I will not make predictions...

Here is what I would like for electronic / dance acts regardless of stage:

Underworld
Basement Jaxx
Royksopp
Juno Reactor
2ManyDJs and / or Soulwax
Seth Troxler
Max Cooper
Jeff Mills
Mark Farina
Derrick Carter
Richie Hawtin
LTJ Bukem
Goldie
Grooverider
High Contrast
Roni Size
Shapeshifter
Kruder and Dorfmeister


I'd have zero problem with booking artists like Skrillex and Tiesto if we got a nice undercard.

[frizzlefry]

^ First year that I would actually camp in the Sahara. Got the image in my head of GV pulling out an uninspired Indie and Rock lineup next year only to have it up against one of the better Sahara lineups seen in the past five years...

[GuyInTucson]

Obviously my list is unrealistic but I would take even three or four of those names.

[sonicc]

Reality:

Hardwell
Nicky Romero
Skrillex
Qulinez
AN21 & Max Vangeli
Thomas Gold
Sander van Doorn
Richie Hawtin pres. Enter
Knife Party

[cured]

Juno Reactor is one that immediately pops out to me on that list. You covered quite the gamut there.

I have never heard of the djs/artists in bold but I like the rest of the names on your list, so I'm assuming that I'll like the rest

Afrika Bambataa
Groove Armada
bassnectar
Pretty Lights

[streamline]

knife party, apparently the mau5 is retiring his cube soon and will be working on his next project so i could see that debuting on the main stage, skrillex closing the sahara one night, armin, richie hawtin vs. mau5 if it were to come down to it on a friday, dillon francis, alvin risk, nicky romero, hospital records (god we can only hope), andy c, delta heavy(not sure if the sahara would appreciate more dnb than usual), mayjah lazzer maybe the mojave is more likely, kill the noise, cheese crap +5 artists, gesaffelstein, underworld in the mojave along with the prodigy. bleh

You'll get one, if any.

You better get on those in bold then.

It sucks that the reality of what the future holds for the Sahara is every single shitty prediction in this thread.

[ENluv12]

That Nicky Romero dude. Everybody that was on Avicii's dick this time last year is all over this guy. Count it.

Really hate to admit it, but I think you are correct. Generation 303 is blowing up right now in the cheese lovers world, and I assume he is only going to grow in popularity.

[travelfan]

Even if the Sahara is essentially 2012 redux, it can't hurt to throw Boys Noize and 2ManyDJs in there. And then some legitimate stuff in the Mojave, of course. But I loves me some Ridha/Dewaele.
