My final "What If/Wish" for 2024 would be that Above & Beyond launch the long postponed Acoustic 3 Tour at Coachella. I mean...Mainstage..Sunset...I would consider both weekends just for that alone really!!
There were only a handful of acts where Sahara-pack was a serious issue (blink, metro, tale). I guess the good news is that they’re expecting at least a few more of these situations to warrant the new placement. That’s at least something a bit exciting I guess.
I guess that's a positive spin! The crowd was so packed at Metro last year that GV is lucky no one got injured. For that reason alone I think the expansion is necessary.
Yeah, wasn’t there for metro but it was packed to the point of being uncomfortable/potentially unsafe for blink 182 as well.

Well the sahara is being expanded so maybe thats the deal.
Redditor also commented that the stage in the Sahara will be 50 ft wider.
Another is saying "The Sahara tent is also supposed to be converted into an EDM centered stage moving forward. Which the reason they are moving it and expanding it."
lol are they going to have the artist zipline into a center stage? Where would the guest and artist area be around a center stage? A stage in the center of the Sahara sounds like a logistical nightmare for crowds and performers. That post is highly suspect

I think they mean EDM centered as in centered on EDM, not that the stage is in the center.

lol not centered as in "in the round" centered as in focusing on EDM.

Isn’t it already focused on EDM. A high percentage of artist that play in the Sahara would be classified as EDM. Some hip/hop and rock acts but it’s mainly EDM. Seems like a dumb comment to say they are going to make Sahara focused on EDM music. It already is

Only 13 of the 25 artists in the Sahara last year were EDM.

So I'm trying to mock up a map with the Sahara stage being 50 ft wider and re-orient it but it's looking weird. I don't really see how moving a bigger Sahara into that enclosed space is going to help with crowd issues, if anything it looks like it would exacerbate things if it's moved away from the bigger open field north of it (where the entrance is).

I think the issue is that the spillover from Sahara would go up against the beer/middle stalls section. Which so happened to be a major walkway area between all the right side tents to vendors/Yuma.
By moving it south, you avoid the overcrowding of the high traffic way.

Now do the past 10 years
This would be an interesting thing to count over time, but as it expanded the Sahara just got more variety over time. The last time it was all EDM* was 2015.

Right - it sounds like a return to what it used to be. But to call the last many years of the Sahara EDM centric the way the Yuma is would be false. It's been more like "party centric," which frequently but not always meant EDM.

I was thinking this same thing. If Anyma is coming back, maybe they take some inspiration from the Afterlife shows plus other EDM fests and just make the Sahara production outdoors.

I agree with this 💯. That enclosed space would be challenging for production and crowd esp since they will be using 51st east of that area as a roadway for production staff
