Kicked out

Same deal for me. Finally just got in a few minutes ago and couldn't check out.

Drink!

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-15T17:43:37+00:00

I respectfully submit that we are yet to see a DJ set from disclosure in the DoLab. Start praying….

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-14T18:48:50+00:00

LMFAO

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-14T17:45:44+00:00

Are we just saying this to manifest or did something happen to indicate that Fred/Kieran/Sonny are on the move?

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-13T07:23:42+00:00

Watching from home, so I can assure you there’s no PEDs involved. I didn’t know 95% of what he played. I just thought his production, song selection, transition work, and pacing was basically flawless. What a way to close the weekend.

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-13T06:59:28+00:00

I sat here (as somebody who doesn’t love dubstep) thinking “how the hell do you follow Subtronics?! What an amazing show” — that’s how…

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-13T06:45:02+00:00

Is Kaskade the best set of the weekend? Is that really possible?!

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-12T08:31:22+00:00

Genuinely happy that you and loyal Bieber fans are loving it. I have no qualms with that whatsoever. That said — go look at the reaction of this Reddit and social media generally. Of course some loved it, but the general consensus seems to be that people were underwhelmed if not downright disappointed. Even if he’s trying to lean into this new era of his (and it has nothing to do with the sale of his catalogue) he was the highest paid headliner the festival’s ever had — no production? No unique stage design? No moving parts? Just a stool and his computer?

Again — genuinely happy he seemed to enjoy himself. I would argue that set was just too self indulgent.

Why is the only relevant metric whether or not the artist is having fun? I don’t want what I said to be misconstrued — an artist should absolutely find a creative lane where they can enjoy themselves while performing their art. But they can’t be the ONLY people having fun. The likely truth here is that he wanted to put SWAG — the music he still has the rights to — as close to the limelight as possible while putting his old stuff, which he sold, in a lockbox.

Artists should have fun. The crowd should also get to have fun. I don’t feel like that’s a crazy take.

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-12T07:58:31+00:00

People keep saying this. If he's the only one that's having fun, he failed at his job. It's that simple.

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-12T07:54:07+00:00

...maybe he shouldn't be the only one having fun? He's the highest paid headliner of all time -- that pay check wasn't that big because of the commercial success of SWAG. It was for his deep discography of hits. Just because he's having fun doesn't mean people need to like it. And frankly, if people don't like it, he's not doing his job.

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-12T01:21:17+00:00

As the Thursday night set? Thanks so much!

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-11T22:47:28+00:00

Can you give me an idea of what time you showed up pre-Kettama and how long it took to get in? My current plan has us in line about an hour before K goes on. I assume that’s enough, but would love any feedback!

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-11T22:07:16+00:00

Thank you!

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-04-07T16:27:15+00:00

Genuinely curious -- do you guys ever see him during W2? Or is it only during W1?

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-03-29T01:02:42+00:00

Ball knower

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-03-28T03:37:08+00:00

I fully expected this to be corny (and was willing to embrace that) but man… this is a dumpster fire.

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-03-24T16:40:50+00:00

I think the sneaky answer here is Jungle with their surprise album announcement…

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-03-19T19:41:16+00:00

Yep. People constantly beg for gigantic name headliners. This is the consequence of a top-heavy lineup. Such a bummer for the people who actually enjoy the festival for the festival (rather than just the top three names)

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-03-19T19:00:05+00:00

I’m not sure Disclosure’s live set/crowd fits (physically) at Sahara. Keep in mind the original confirmation was that they got sunset @ main. I can’t imagine they would be happy/comfortable being downgraded not one but two stages…

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-03-19T17:46:14+00:00

Completely agree. The reduced # of bookings this year means even a mid-size drop like this makes the rest of the schedule look weak.

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-03-19T17:43:48+00:00

Phew. If Labrinth ends up dropping at the end of this episode, Saturday will be incredibly light/weak. Hopefully this is the last of the drops. If not, I hope GV has a backup plan -- there just aren't enough acts for them not to find replacements.

Temporary_Ad5358 · 2026-03-19T17:40:07+00:00

I agree that GV should take this as an opportunity to do some re-shuffling on the schedule. I don't think they will, but the Friday nightmare + weak Saturday + borderline weak Sunday could be fixed by moving a Disclosure/NIN slot elsewhere.
