What the hell?? Sunday was already overloaded with EDM names and now there is more? And Friday, the day with the least Sahara acts to begin with (assuming SHM is on main) now has one less? Anybody else sense corrective additions for the Sahara on Friday?

I don't believe you should be making the assumption that SHM will be on the main.... i don't see them playing the main...... ever......

[concertgoer]

They are billed second. That means they are playing the main.

[travelfan]

Billed second and they will probably bring this masterpiece of subtlety:

Main. Last year the Chemical Brothers had to put their production on the main. SHM's is just as big, and as much as it pains me to say it, they will probably draw a bigger crowd. The ONLY way they won't be on the main is if there is a bigger electronic add, which is really only Daft Punk, which is not happening, so main it is.

[fredbull]

daft punk was billed second....... they put their pyramid in the sahara....... i do not think that just because they are billed second they are an automatic lock for the main.... i'm not saying it is not possible, i just don't think it is as likely. If i'm not mistaken only huge edm acts with some time behind them like tiesto and the chemical brothers have played the main stage, and that has nothing to do with how big their production is.....

This. I guess I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to close out the night with SHM, it's just that they aren't exactly on the same level as previous electronic acts that have closed the main stage. I could easily see them being in the Sahara.

I hate to break it to you guys, but Swedish House Mafia are huge. They will easily draw a bigger crowd than the Chems last year. They are the biggest act amongst the new wave of EDM music at the moment. They are cheesy as fuck, but EDM is the new mainstream music to a lot of teens and 20 somethings, and SHM are the current monsters of that scene.

I know Facebook fans are not any real sort of indicator, but Chemical Brothers have 1,167,167 likes as of this moment. Swedish House Mafia has 2,144,000.

Everyone, shut up about SHM on the main. Its happening. Now stop.

[bobchella]

How the fuck after years of doing this are they still misspelling artist's names. Jeez.

EDM is the new mainstream music to a lot of teens and 20 somethings

It beats the crap out of Hip Hop!

tempted to sig

So are we to assume that Le Butcherettes and The Airplane Boys are no longer playing?

We need a poster update!!!!

That would suck

[Pixiessp]

A spider just crawled by my porch. That was more exciting than this thread.

[irthesteve]

Good thing you wasted your time to drop in!

As to discrepancies between the poster and the lineup list, do we know whether changes have been made to the latter subsequent to the lineup release? Is it possible these discrepancies have always existed and GV has yet to fix them?

Well then why doesn't David Guetta close the main also since he has 26,980,699 fans on facebook? This is not good logic. SHM are big, but not too big for the Sahara.

[edbangme]

David Guetta in the Sahara is the 2012 version of Madonna in the Sahara.

[DFrank]

stop bumping this thread unless theres a poster change.

I pretty much guarantee Guetta will close the main on Saturday. It makes sense to have an EDM DJ on after the headliner and Guetta is much too big to have in the Sahara. You'd bust the tent.

I dunno about that...I think GV would let RH close the stage....but if it did go RH > Guetta, maybe GYBE would start in the Mojave afterwards, and that conflict could be avoided...

Wait, did I miss something? Le Butcherettes are on the Line Up page on Sunday.... and on the poster....

[nosurprises12]

^ They were off the Lineup page yesterday, but it appears that they were added back on today - can't say the same for The Airplane Boys though.

Awesome...They were not on the line-up page yesterday, or earlier today.

It does raise the question of the legitimacy of the lineup page. I still want to follow those changes, but I don't think anything is set in stone until it's on the poster

David Guetta isn't billed second on his day though.

What if it's RH on the main directly conflicting with Radiohead?

[Pea]

The best part about this entire thread is Le Butcherettes being added back on. I hyped them to too many of my friends when the lineup dropped for them to not be on the bill anymore.
