Sahara Tent Predictions: 2013

[Riggins33]

Riggins: still using apostrophes like a fucking idiot.

yupp you like dat shit gurlll, stop posting on all my shit Guedita, I don't want to fuk u... I only bang hottiezzz

[Coachella Bound]

C.B. enters room......


watcha' guys arguing about.....? (in a curious, little kid type tone)

[Sensuality]

I see people throwing around names I'd love to see on the lineup but know won't be there come January... We need techno, tech house, deep house, and classic acts. I fear the tsunami of cheese that crashed over us this year will only be worse next year.

We can wish, though, can't we? All this speculation gives me a minor chub.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

You can wish, but not if the wishes are based upon opinions in any respect.

[TickleMeElmo]

I fear the tsunami of cheese that crashed over us this year will only be worse next year.

I disagree, mostly because some of the biggest/worst names played this year. What other big names are left besides Skrillex for next year? I feel like it can only get better from here, though I'm sure if they wanted to, Goldenvoice could prove me wrong.

Off the top of my head... Knife Party, Hardwell, Dillon Francis, Tommie Trash, Basto, Nickey Romero... I don't know any more, really. Consult the Beatport top-10 on a weekly basis and there you have it. Repeats from the last few years are obviously not out of the question.

And MJA... I know. I'm feeling delusional.

[ADrunkPoet]

I miss caring about who might be in the Sahara. Now I just look forward to who I will see in the Gobi/Mojave at night.

Agreed. Orbital will most likely perform in the Mojave if they are on the line up next year.

None of those guys are as big as Guetta, SHM, Kaskade, Afrojack, or Avicii though.

[CoachellaDan]

Fedde le Grand, Steve Aoki, Skrillex, Armin van Buuren, Bassnectar, and Pretty Lights are all pretty famous mainstream djs who were not there this year so I'd say they are likely for next year.

True, but who knows, look at Avicii going from complete unknown to golden boy of cheese in the the span of mere months after the release of le-seven-els. That could happen with a ton of artists that make corny music these days... Put out one song that garners massive mainstream attention and BOOM. Instant stardom+Sahara headline status.

And whos to say there won't be repeats from last year and two years ago? I mean, Afrocrap played back to back years, that does not bode well for the future.

[TheMusicMan]

yeah he was definitely known before levels...

[Ross1492]

Sure we'll have lots of crap to wade through on the poster in 2013. Just hoping for a return to form of sorts w/ 3-4 compelling acts.

[travelfan]

Afrojack threepeat

[TickleMeElmo]

I have a feeling that we will get an obscene amount of garbage in the Sahara next year as usual but we'll also get a bit more variety than this year. I could see said shitty names along with acts like The M Machine and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Hopefully Mr. oizo too, if he's not too busy with movies.

[WhatLies]

Alesso would be the one to repeat...

As for the other mainstream djs that are a "lock"
Pretty lights
bassnectar
hardwell
Nicky romero
skrillex
Erik prydz
deadmau5
fedde Le grand
dash berlin

If they are going to keep up the cheese, just go for broke and invite Joachim Garraud back. Sandstorm and alien masks for all.

[Ross1492]

Modeselektor posted the following message on facebook, today:

"moderat ..."

If the album wraps in time I'd think they're a decent bet.

I really don't think this would be bad at all, especially in comparison to this past year. Of course I do like EDM and can handle a couple cheese sets as long as they're danceable. I would love for Armin, A&B, W&W, Gareth, Ferry, Arty, even ATB but there really hasn't been any trance at Coachella for the past 2 years unless you count Paul van Dyk or Sasha. Quite frankly I think GV should be booking a lot more trance; it's better than Afrowack and Aoki (please, God, do not let him headline). Trance acts like Tritonal, Mat Zo, Super8 & Tab, and Gareth Emery would be killer. Pretty Lights and Bassnectar give good variation from the typical house set. Throw in SMD and maybe Underworld and I think you have a solid electronic lineup.

[Ross1492]

They will be in the Mojave for sure.

Yes. You're right. Forgot this thread was intended for sahara predictions as opposed to dance music predictions, generally speaking.

Mojave is preferred, of course.
