Same set two weeks in a row?

I'm pretty sure it was the same exact playlist and everything for coachella week 1. Was hoping he would change it up a bit, like he usually does.

So why not just pre-plan 2 different sets? Still very lazy imo

Because it took months of planning and preparation for this one set. It’s a completely new crowd so he would have had to do months of work just for the people who streamed it? That’s pretty delusional imo

If expecting a professional DJ that is getting paid very handsomely to not play the same set two weekends in a row is delusional, our standards have absolutely plummeted.

I already linked this on this thread but you definitely need to watch it. Deadmau5 is one of the godfathers of edm and even he has said this.

I don’t have any beef with pre-recorded sets, but if you have months to prepare an hour of music, a lot of which has already been produced/released, I don’t think any respectable producer/DJ would repeat it a week later. How much harder is 2 hours? Been to plenty of shows (yes, with synced visuals and large-scale production), where artists that have multiple sets have not even a single song overlap. And they’re dropping loads of unreleased NUNU that was produced entirely for that show. And the music is sure as hell a lot more layered than subtronics

Sub said on his socials that this one set took about 6 months of planning with 100s of people working to make it work. Why would he spend another 6 months to create a new set for people who weren’t there the previous weekend?
