NOS Alive Festival 2015, formerly Optimus Alive!

[Dom Wall]

Maybe kanye for Saturday? Few fests still needing a headliner and kanye would fit that main stage as it looks at the mo

[williamjamesrea]

I know it's really unlikely for any of these but I would love the last lineup act to be either:

The Strokes, Chillies, Arcade Fire, Libertines or Blur.

Anyone seen any dates already confirmed by one of these that makes it impossible?

[TheNewUnion]

In my point of view this is the worst name of lineup Azealia Banks 11th NOS STAGE

I've no idea who she is, worth the effort to check her out, or will I just be disappointed? Assume it'll be some sort of hiphop/dance stuff?

Arcade Fire aren't touring this year so it wont be them. Libertines played last year so that rules them out also. Honestly think it will be between Blur, Strokes, Beck or someone we haven't thought about.

Portishead just been announced for Latitude the week after?

[pjfestmusic]

Portishead it will be a Nice addition but They re a possibilty to Super Bock Super Rock (they will playing At FIBenicassim on this weekend).

I expected Portishead And Manics for NOS ALIVE or SBSR,

SAM SMITH 11th JULY NOS STAGE

This day seems an awful mixed salad: Stromae, Azealia, Sam...but i hope great concerts on Heineken Stage with Jesus & Mary Chains and many more!

[broken monkey]

The wife is delighted with the Sam Smith announcement. Not for me personally but I'm sure he'll go down well. Thinking Disclosure might be a sure thing that evening now too, what with them playing BBK live and having worked with Sam Smith tonnes before.

[5co77ie]

is their website not working?

[redchris]

Sam Smith!!!!, will be swerving that

[Dom Wall]

Clubbing stage for the first day announced too;

Tiga

Ten Walls

Julio Bashmore

Benji B

Breach

Eclair Fifi

[robMUFC96]

Is he subbing or lower? Can't see him headlining just yet

[TheNewUnion]

Can't see Sam Smith too high up to be honest, his fame is unfathomable in this country let alone in Portugal, I can't see how he'll be anything higher than 3rd or 4th from the top.

[Luke Routledge]

Is he subbing or lower? Can't see him headlining just yet

Well at the moment he is top of the main stage on Sunday night.

My logic is that blur are the last headliner. Assuming they will share it with BBK and its not the strokes because they are at Primavera Sound and its not the Prodigy because they played it last year.

[broken monkey]

Counting Crows revealed this morning for the Saturday, Nos Stage. Another act shared with BBK Live.

[TheNewUnion]

I'm happy with CC, been listening to them a bit recently and they're pretty good.

[pjfestmusic]

Except local bands i think both festival shared almost international acts...but NOS Alive still remains one headlinner for Saturday!

[TheNewUnion]

How about Bjork as the 3rd headliner? Playing in Manchester early July which I have seen described as "the first date of her European tour". Possible? (maybe?). Would be a fantastic booking

[broken monkey]

Would be very happy with either Blur or Bjork. Looks like we have 1 slot left for the main stage on the Sunday (headliner?) and 2 for the Saturday then.

[plasic_Juice_Rubble]

The lineup has its variation which is good but so far is well under parr from previous years, particularrly the main stage. I mean its nearly all been announced and its all a bit meh for me. Has no way near the drawi g power of last year where I would of sold my soul to get on board last minute, but was too late in my decision. Bring back death in vegas from 2012!!

[plasic_Juice_Rubble]

Steaford Mods will be a right laugh!!!

[broken monkey]

I agree, some of the last few announcements have been a bit below par. Bit disappointing seeing acts like Marmozets and James Bay up on the main stage too. Let's hope the remaining headliner is something decent.

[TheNewUnion]

Marmozets are great! Saw them at Pukkelpop last year, great fun. Not my type of music really, but good live band and the lead singer has really funny between song "banter". Worth a watch for sure.

[broken monkey]

Just checked them out on Spotify and I'll definitely being watching them if there's nothing else on.

[redstar99]

Agreed that the last few 'headline' announcements have been a bit meh. However flight facilties are an inspired booking, much more up my street.... this is one of the best tunes ive heard all year:

[Violetta6]

Hi guys,

I'll be doing a solo backpacking trip and am hoping to build this festival into my trip. Just wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation and going solo too? I was looking at staying at the Independente hostel in a dorm.

Cheers
