Looking good. Let’s play a little hypothetical game. If we take Truevine’s Aphex – Sahara, BASSNECTAR – outdoor post as a hint rather than a guess, we can actually structure the stages in a way to avoid a AT/BN/TI conflict entirely which would make a lot of people chasing a certain…experience…quite happy. Once again not wedded to the below, just throwing out an alternate structure to play devil’s advocate before we settle into our big stages.
I don’t see one bad conflict below.
MAIN STAGE:
11:25 – Tame Impala 9:55-10:45 – Solange 8:40-9:30 – Kid Cudi 7:20-8:10 – Weezer 6:05-6:55 – Mac DeMarco
ARIZONA and Interrupters could open. Weezer on main fixes the Balvin/Cudi/Solange camping flow we have.
OUTDOOR STAGE: 10:35-11:25 – BASSNECTAR (Allows silent for most of Solange, ends right before TI against rapper in Sahara, his production is big enough to do it). 9:00-9:50 – Billie Eilish (partial Cudi conflict, ends right before Solange) 7:40-8:30 - Sunset – Christine & the Queens (billed for it, atmosphere works) 6:25-7:15 - Sabrina Claudio mirroring Daniel Caesar/Kali Uchis
SAHARA: 12:10 – J. Balvin (satisfying closer against TI) 10:55-11:45 – Wiz Khalifa (against BASSNECTAR big act but not closer) 9:05-10:20 – Aphex (gets his 75 mins in an Underworld type slot, conflicts with Billie/Cudi/Solange) 7:40-8:30 – Gryffin (big enough to do it despite billing as he's playing Bill Graham in SF, time for AT to set up, vs Weezer) 6:25-7:15 – Sheck Wes (conflicts with Mac De Marco, no light show so could play earlier.)
And that would make our third line Mojave acts Bazzi, Maggie Rogers.
Also Four Tet who could close vs. TI. We’re going to get a hard conflict here, but that would allow Aphex --> BASSNECTAR --> Four Tet for those chasing electronic. Weird --> party --> come down.
I still think Aphex is getting 90 minutes+, which forces him to close a stage, but if he indeed only (EDIT: lol "only") gets 75 and is okay not closing and not being on Main or Outdoor (basically if he doesn't give a shit about his placement at all), this could work.
If he gives a shit about his placement at all, the calculus changes though.
You could fiddle with the times to give him 90 mins. I still think this is a stretch and Mikey is (rightfully so) playing it safe, but when I look at the above I'm getting the "huh, not at all what we thought with regard to stage placement, but actually works out very well" vibe that we usually get when the times actually come out. Definitely not something to bet on though if we're being conservative.

I don't like this hypothetical game lol. That said, it did make me think to move things around in the Sahara so the Gryffin is later and Sheck Wes is earlier, which I think makes more sense.
EDIT: I've said this before, but I have this weird feeling they're going to find a way to have Bassnectar close the Sahara with Wiz closing the Outdoor against Tame and Bassnectar, a la Muse vs Nas vs Skrillex in 2014.

Yeah, it is possible to get Aphex to 90 minutes. But as you said I'm playing it safe with 80 for the time being.
hahaha haven't even heard of her light up spider. Link?
Yeah, this seems more destined for Outdoor at this point. I certainly wouldn't rule out Main around sunset leading into darkness, but the Halsey slot before Aphex (lol) seems pretty spot on now. I can't wait to show up at the tail end of Eilsh and get a great spot for Aphex as the hordes of youngins head toward the Main or Sahara.
I like that weird ass song more than anything Halsey has put out. But yeah this has "second to last" outdoor all fucking over it. She's an industry plant sure but the kids fucking love her and I'm coming around to this being a very good booking on Coachella's part.

Weren't you saying in the Friday thread the the Main should never go 1-2-3-4? That's what you have proposed, as well as a camping situation for Wiz -> Balvin, cause those kids aren't going to go to the Main for Tame or the Outdoor for Nectar.
Bazzi in the Mojave seems wrong, I think he's destined for a Daniel Ceaseresque Outdoor slot.
Four Tet makes more sense in the Richie Hawtin slot than closing I think. Besides, the way we have it the electronic crowd can go Four Tet -> Aphex/Bassnectar (I think they slot it leaning more of the way I have it, where Aphex will start 10 minutes or so before Bassnectar so everyone who realizes they actually hate it can head toward Bassnectar instead) -> Deep Dish or Soulection. Deep Dish or Soulection I feel like will be a better way to end the night for the majority of the electronic crowd over Four Tet. Also a Four Tet Tame Impala conflict seems sort of unlikely.

Told you I don't like this hypothetical lol
Camping doesn't matter in the Sahara. The tent is inherently designed for camping. And we had blackbear --> Post last year.
My main issue with 1-2-3-4 was DJ Snake anywhere but third to last on the main. I think that came from when we had Snake --> 1975 --> Janelle --> Gambino which I find unlikely because I don't think a DJ would ever go that early on main.

The difference with blackbear -> Post is that made sense as a way to try and draw at least SOME of the thousands of Beyonce campers away from the Main.
Your argument with 1-2-3-4 seemed much more to be about the actual poster order over the fact it's a DJ. I mean, he was in the sunset slot, which as we've talked about many DJs have occupied in recent years. But let's not rehash that argument lol.
If Eilish plays Outdoor, that crowd will be dangerously massive.
No more so than when acts like Halsey and Lorde played similar slots. Plus they've expanded the area around the Outdoor since both of those acts played, so Eilish will be fine.
7:40-8:30 – Gryffin (big enough to do it despite billing as he's playing Bill Graham in SF, time for AT to set up, vs Weezer)
Sorry to keep going back to this post, but was initially confused when I read Gryffin was playing Bill Graham. I know the guys who run Audio SF (used to be a resident DJ there) and they've been plugging a Gryffin show there for the last week or so. But weirdly enough, when you look up Gryffin's dates, some have him listed for Audio while others like Songkick have him listed for Bill Graham. Audio is only 400-500 people capacity, so I'm really confused by this one.

No prob. He might be playing both. But I quite literally can see the classic Bill Graham "next three shows" sign from my apartment window and Gryffin is marked there clear as can be.
And Eilish can 100% play the outdoor crowd wise. Lana, Halsey, Lorde all did it and she's not more popular than those acts. We are making so many claims this year that "ACT is too big for STAGE". They can't all play the main.

That's weird.
Also, apparently you live less than a mile away from my new place lol
Nice! We had them in the wrong tent but there's no reason they can't go right after Claudio and just have the Gobi as the empty tent.
Glad we are finally in the "confirmations are coming in and they're all pretty close to what we have, we're the fucking shit" stage before we go off the rails in early April at hearing Billie Eilish is in the Sahara at 6:00 and that BASSNECTAR is closing out the main stage.

Dude really? Drinks at Beer Hall or City Beer Store then, we can hash this shit out over some beer flights. You a mile on the Mission side of Graham or the SOMA side?

To be fair, she's pretty damn close to how popular those acts were when they first played, but she absolutely is not bigger.
Aside from Childish and Ariana, there is no act on this lineup that is actually too big to play the Outdoor.

True, that's where I'm going to throw them, but don't want to deal with shifting all of those times around at the moment lol
Yeah, confirmations seem to be rolling in early this year. I checked the old threads, and they didn't start coming in til mid March last year. Reddit seems to be on their game with the PR emails, I wonder if it has to do with making weekly posts over there this year.

Haven't been to Beer Hall in so long, let's hit that up this week if you're free.

On the SOMA side.
Tomorrow night might work, other than that this is a nightmare week. Next week should be fairly flexile though.
Oh by the way not only is Gryffin playing Bill Graham (with Shallou) but he sold it out.
