Early Set Time Predictions 2013

[travelfan]

Oh man. Look how empty Datsik was...0:52 to 1:02 on mute...I hate watching things like this, even if it's an act I don't like.

[paulb]

I really like that idea, the new stage being the more quality acts Sahara.... New name should be Kalahari Tent

[travelfan]

I'm not an electronic expert and haven't counted the artists yet, how many Sahara acts are there per day? Enough for two stages?

[aphrael]

Oh man. Look how empty Datsik was...0:52 to 1:02 on mute...I hate watching things like this, even if it's an act I don't like.

One of the best acts i've ever seen at Coachella was a Belgian womens' choir called _Scala & Kolacny Brothers_. They closed the Gobi, against the Chemical Brothers on the mainstage. They were unbelievably awesome ... and they had a tiny, tiny crowd.

[bemerritt]

guess i just really want Prydz vs. RHCP, so that is what I am predicting.

I am still sore about missing that set. I listened to them a lot prior.

That Datsik crowd was smaller than I imagined it would be, wow.

[AeroplaneJunkie]

i really hope TNGHT and Modest Mouse don't conflict but I can see Modest Mouse going 2nd last @outdoor and same with TNGHT in the gobi or mojave

^ This

Damn that Datsik crowd was pathetic

[Boourns]

Reading all these potential conflicts this early in the year makes my head hurt and heart sad.

Indeed. I don't see how it will be possible to see every act on the top two lines on Friday, PLUS Sparks, HTDA, and Metric. Fuck. Can't see any of those playing before 6pm. Some of these must-see Friday and Saturday acts should switch with some of Sunday's filler.

[sonofhal]

Xanman not getting laid. 24hr set - all 3 days.

[IceyHotshot]

12:00-12:50, Jurassic 5
10:45-11:35, Modest Mouse
9:30-10:20, Lou Reed

Oh my god, this would be so perfect for me. Please let this happen. Or these three in any order on the same stage please. My worst fear is that they will conflict.

[xanman86]

This was Datsik weekend one lol

[bemerritt]

at least it gave people an early start at picking up the trash

[paulb]

Chase and Status played to that type of sized crowd in 2011, and they were fantastic. But Datsik....probably sucked hard.

[bemerritt]

So Excision>Pretty Lights>Eric Prydz to close out the Sahara on Sunday night? This is of course assuming there isn't a new stage.

As great as these set times are, you forgot my favorite Sahara act on Saturday: Huoratron.

Also, I dont think Richie Hawtin is going to play to a silent dance area.... so 70min of silence in the hypothetical 2nd dance tent wouldnt happen.

[Zafocaine]

Xanman not getting laid. 24hr set - all 3 days.

It would be funny if it weren't so dead on. Like... sonofhal being appreciated as more than a cum-dumpster Weekends 1 & 2 confirmed.

[bemerritt]

the "new" stage for sunday.

Eric Prydz
Paul Kalkbrenner
Disclosure
Loco Dice
Jamie Jones
Julio Bashmore
Maya Jane Coles

dear god

[concertgoer]

Actually I think Eric Prydz would still be in the Sahara especially since I am assuming that The Sahara will be much bigger then the new tent.

[bemerritt]

you are most likely right

[Mr_Bumpkins]

Still holding onto hope for a 2009 Dome-like stage to come back to the campsite.

Yes please. That was amazing

[mrhand]

my current fear is yeah yeah yeahs closing the outdoor between stone roses and blur so i have zero chance of getting close for blur...

You have nothing to fear. blur is going to be empty.

[Boourns]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs aren't going to play the outdoor.

Attempting to sort out Friday is making me want to cry. There really can be too much of a good thing. Wow.

[AeroplaneJunkie]

If the new stage is like the Oasis Dome then I could easily see TNGHT headlining it on their night. shit would get insane.

[clumsy342]

The time has come for someone else to take over the predictions threads.
It's been fun, but I am retiring Coachella at least for this year which is unfortunate because this would have been my 10th in a row!
Oh well. The lineup looks great. I'm sure it'll be a good year. But I'm stepping away from Coachella for now.

[Boourns]

Awww, bummer. Doing any other fests?

I can take over if you'd like.

[bemerritt]

I think the first order of business is to decide whether or not to plan like there is an additional stage.

[clumsy342]

I'll likely make Sasquatch. But that's about it for festivals.
You could totally take it over if you'd like. You know the format/rules/etc.. Can you design and update a template?

[Boourns]

Update? Definitely. Design? I can try, but I don't think I know photoshop that well.

[Boourns]

I think the first order of business is to decide whether or not to plan like there is an additional stage.

I think we have to. Unless every stage has twelve acts in nearly as many hours, they aren't going to fit.
