There seems to be one common complaint every year for the last few years; the Sahara lineup is weak. Of course it is, it's a massive festival that caters more towards the indie rock side of things and, thus, needs to book EDM that arcs moreso in that direction.
I went in 2008 and had an absolute blast. That said, with the effort and finances involved, I'm not going to go unless the lineup is spectacular. Gil Scott-Heron (easily THE best act of the festival), Sly & the Family Stone, Talvin Singh, Les Claypool (yeah, I know...), Plastikman & Orbital are all acts that I would love to see. I just can't justify blowing a shitload of money just for them.
Jay-Z would've been cool to see maybe five years ago or so. I wouldn't waste my time now that Kanye has teamed up with him.
DEMF for me this year.
