720-820 is not a night slot. switch Shpongle with Steve Angello.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
I don't know how Brad could get ANY CLEARER about Shpongle closing the Sahara. Which I pointed out like weeks ago.

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.
Shpongle closing the Sahara? what'd I miss?
(i know what their set up looks like.. but i missed anyone mentioning them closing)
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.
tallest man on earth will play during the day
and
mumford and sons will be on the main before arcade fire
Lick an orange, it tastes like an orange. Lick a pineapple, it tastes like a pineapple. Go ahead, try it. Try some more. The strawberries taste like strawberries. The snozzberries taste like snozzberries! We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. Come along, come along.
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.

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

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

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.

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?
When the lineup was announced, Swedish House Mafia's facebook page posted this:
Headlining doesn't mean closing.Coachella.......are you ready? Steve Angello headlines Sahara Tent on Saturday, Axwell headlines on Sunday. See you at the front? Love SHM

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.
You mean Shplolngletron.
