Amadou & Mariam is a lot different than LCD Soundsystem.
Not really. They both take a basic sound and incorporate a lot of different styles into it. For A&M, it's Mali blues. For LCD, it's punk.
Anyway, the point is that LCD Soundsystem could play night or day and still be time appropriate. Just because we want them to play late night doesn't mean that's a given.

Would Amadou and Mariam play that Sahara tent at Coachella, because LCD did.
They aren't popular enough to play the Sahara tent.
But seriously, do you know what you're talking about with Amadou & Mariam? When's the last time you went to a show or listened to an album. They incorporate just as much dance music into their show as LCD does. The first track off their last album was a pure electronic dance song. It was easily one of the most sampled dance songs last year.

Even if Amadou and Miriam were super popular they still wouldn't play the Sahara. You should just stop arguing dudezer because you are wrong. LCD Soundsystem is dance music.

If they did play the Sahara, they would get just as many people dancing as LCD. Guaranteed.
As for LCD, I didn't say they weren't dance music. I just said they're no more dance oriented than A&M. And that was only ONE of my examples. I also cited The Rapture and Franz Ferdinand.
Besides, you have to ignore a third of LCD's down tempo, non dance floor songs to call them purely a dance act.

I'd be happy with LCD Soundsystem closing out a tent, ala The Decemberists last year. That even seems kinda fitting, and it would keep them away from the Lips latenight spot.
I'm thinking that Thievery Corp can def hold down which stage sat. They are really popular and excellent late night act. a ten just might be too small, this is a band that needs a little elbow room to dance and spin the night away, a tent will be packed tight. I for one will not miss this set for anything after choosing Primus over them at rothbury, i finally get redemption.
yeah I agree if they don't do late-night then a sunset show would be the next best thing, that would be bad ass actually, either way they are one of the main reasons I bought a ticket. As of right now this is their only show for the summer so I'm expecting this to be a marquee show. either way can't effin wait for late night at the roo.
If LCD is late night it's gonna be a BIG conflict for a lot of people.
If LCD plays during the day it's gonna be hot and heavy and not a lot of fun.
Seriously, it's one of the few acts at Bonnaroo I think would be more or less crippled if they played during the day. I see myself enjoying it about half as much.

Rather have LCD than Thievery for late night. I feel like Thievery is way more suited to a sunset show. They have music that is danceable and just ridiculously chill - perfect for sunset.
I wasn't assuming NIN and GWAR have equal draw. My prediction actually comes from the lead singer of GWAR posting (on Facebook I think) that they would play a late night on "the big stage". I did assume that he obviously did not mean What Stage. So I figured he meant Which.
Here is the announcement. Someone posted this in the GWAR thread:
Sat Which late night shows have historically been pretty big: Primus, Trey, Phil Lesh, String Cheese, Nine Inch Nails. LCD is supposedly playing Friday, but I could see Phoenix, Tenacious D, or Thievery in that slot. I could also see it unoccupied as Jay-Z plays the What.
Tenacious D > GWAR late night Which could be pretty funny. Watch as the comedic novelty rock steadily degenerates into flying semen and feces.

I can't see Tenacious D or Phoenix getting the late night Which stage over GWAR.
Phoenix are huge now, for sure.....but it seems like the Which stage late nights are a huge stage deal. MMJ had awesome lights and balloons and stuff, Flips had a whole lot of stuff going on.
Do Phoenix generally have a lot of stage production? I don't know cuz I haven't caught them live. I feel like GWAR could probably take a tent too......but I don't think it would be because of Phoenix or Tenacious D in the late night slot.
I feel like Tenacious D would be a daytime show anyway. But who knows what Roo thinks.

I don't see Gwar playing anywhere but a tent. It does make since for them to be a late night because of all the production and clean up required by their sets, but who really knows. As of now there are about 5000 possibly late night acts.
I feel like if GWAR has been around this long they must have their show (including the removal/clean up) down to a science. Maybe it's just me not wanting GWAR anywhere near late night but I don't think they'll get (or deserve) one
