Last night, when I went to see Fatboy Slim, the tent was at capacity. I couldn’t even ease my way in using my patented tactic of slipping my foot into a space, then pretending, “Where’s my foot gone? How did it get over there? I should catch up,” and moving closer to the stage a foot at a time (pun intended).
I thought it was loaded simply because it was Fatboy Slim.
Even my mom has heard of Fatboy Slim. (Though, to be honest, she’s also a Vampire Weekend and Kate Nash fan.)
But I came to the Sahara again to catch Hot Chip and the tent is full AGAIN. Wall to wall people. Fans have congregated in groups of 4, 7 and 20 in the massive area outside the tent, as their plans to dance inside the tent have been foiled.
What is it that makes the Sahara tent such a must?
Maybe it’s time for a bigger Sahara tent, or to move some of the artists to the bigger stages? What do you think?
Could Junkie XL play the Coachella Stage?
