Right, was looking for more like exactly where the festival is in Lisbon??? There is also no camping at the festival so I was wondering about travel to and from the Lisbon camp site? Bus probs, but I've little idea of how far away the camp site is away from everything... Also are there beaches near the camp site?
I've also no idea how popular the festival is... When do tickets start selling out and what's the capacity?
Just a few thoughts...

It's not actually in Lison, it's in Oeiras in the Alges riverside. http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=Oerias&am...20Barra,%202780 That shows how far they are away. Car hire or train between the two?
If you stay in Oerias then taxi to and from festival. Beaches seem pretty close to Oerias. Not sure about the tickets or capacity, but they've been on sale for a few weeks now.

There is a camp site in Lisbon:

You dont need to book tent camping....

wondering what does it mean headliner at that festival?
last year Dylan was headliner, and after him Within Tempation played.
same happened next day, after awesome Neil Young gig, we had Ben Harper.
so DMB might not be the last band playing on saturday nite

New Update:
Line Up:
Day 9
Main Stage: Metallica (Headliner), Slipknot, Lamb of God, Mastodon
Second Stage: Klaxons, TV on the Radio, Erol Alkan, Crystal Castles
Day 10
Main Stage: Placebo
Second Stage: The Ting Tings
Day 11
Main Stage: Dave Matthews Band (Headliner)
Second Stage: Los Campesinos
Some say this year the indie bands are confined to the secondary stage. Another odd thing is NIN and JA confirmed for July 12 in Oxegen and not in T in the Park, so I guess they are a strong possibility for July 10. Adding the fact there are some similarities with Sonisphere festivals...
Oh, and Chris Cornell is rumored to play on the 11th

I was there last year. It was really nice, of course RATM was the real thing! But I actually enjoyed all the festival. Good atmosphere, great conditions...

Any ideas what the best way to get to Lisbon airport straight after the headliners? Also how much does it cost to get around Lisbon? Any places of interest you would recommend or beaches to chill?
