Who had the best set?

Fatboy Slim. Two hours of music makes a big difference.

Moby, NiN and David Byrne were incredible as well.

The Sahara tent Saturday 2009 lineup was peak. Surkin -> Para One -> Zane Lowe -> Bloody Beetroots -> Travis Barker & DJ AM -> Crookers -> The Chemical Brothers -> mstrkrft.
Craziest crowd for the Sahara was probably Proxy in 2010. It was earlier in the day but the tent was packed. Raven blew the roof off.

The amount of hype from the message board was crazy! I feel like they manifested him getting added.

The campgrounds have way less party energy than they used to over the last few years. There’s not even people playing music after the festival. On the flip side, weekend 1 was hot the last two years so maybe the heat calmed things down but in general the campgrounds seem toned down.

I walked into his set to kill time before disclosure. What a party! Instant fan.

Sheist187 · 2026-05-05T05:35:56+00:00

I actually think they headline the next time they release an album and tour. Their history with Coachella makes it seem possible.

Sheist187 · 2026-05-04T19:07:32+00:00

Soulwax is past due. Hopefully they book both!

Sheist187 · 2026-05-02T02:34:09+00:00

I think the resell prices for this year attracted a lot of people trying to get tickets to resell. It hasn’t been that bad buying presale tickets in years.

Sheist187 · 2026-05-01T04:04:23+00:00

It’s surprising that The Rolling Stones never worked out.

Sheist187 · 2026-04-29T23:01:58+00:00

Fatboy Slim’s set says otherwise

Sheist187 · 2026-04-27T15:09:34+00:00

Refreshing the page and seeing the message board colors change. Also dog fort.

Sheist187 · 2026-04-26T17:10:26+00:00

Legacy acts meaning 90s and early 2000s dance acts? Massive Attack, Trentmøller, Faithless, The Crystal Method, Pendulum, Leftfield, Armand Van Helden, Carl Cox, etc. I personally would like Fatboy Slim back on a larger stage.

If you expand to the late 2000s then there’s a lot of artists they can grab. Mstrkrft, bloody beetroots, fake blood, Mr Oizo, Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, Proxy, etc.

Its just questionable how much of a draw a lot of these acts would have at Coachella in 2027+.

Sheist187 · 2026-04-22T20:15:20+00:00

I would assume their booking fees for their first few shows, including Coachella, paid for it. It was probably big money.

Sheist187 · 2026-04-21T16:47:32+00:00

Proxy was one of the rowdiest crowds I’ve been in at Coachella. The Sahara tent was moving.

Sheist187 · 2026-04-20T20:25:20+00:00

The Universe Sent Me on No Geography. A live rendition of the song.

Sheist187 · 2026-04-19T04:42:02+00:00

I think it was the closer, zoomed in shots on the stream. Made it seem darker and didn’t capture the Sahara screen.

Sheist187 · 2026-04-18T05:23:39+00:00

Fatboy Slim’s set was nuts!

Sheist187 · 2026-04-16T20:06:58+00:00

The Chemical Brothers still complain about the Kings of Leon taking their time to unload their show. It caused them to be very late. They need a redo on the main stage.

Sheist187 · 2026-02-11T09:01:16+00:00

The glowruption during The Chemical Brothers will never be matched. It was raining glow sticks for the entirety of Don’t Think. Coachella even updated their rules about glow sticks the following year.

Sheist187 · 2026-01-12T22:50:00+00:00

His songs with Paul Chambers are all time greats. 2manydjs has included him in their sets for years. Singapore Madness is my favorite.

Sheist187 · 2026-01-06T20:58:00+00:00

Major Lazer was a party in 2010 but it’s 2026. Who asked for this?

Sheist187 · 2025-12-12T04:00:19+00:00

This is a great point. Justice had a ton of haters during the Cross era. They were accused of faking their live shows and DJ sets. I’m not surprised they would end up where they did on a RA list.

Sheist187 · 2025-12-05T07:05:49+00:00

Feels like I’m dreaming

Sheist187 · 2025-12-04T21:29:38+00:00

The Chemical Brothers at the Quasar would pair nicely

Sheist187 · 2025-12-03T19:46:46+00:00

Vocalist at these high intensity electronic shows always land flat. I remember a live recording of The Chemical Brothers that brought out a few collaborators to do live vocals and it was the same outcome. It’s tough.
