The owner of Everything is New, just teased something for tomorrow, in his instragam page

Same time... 

[StupidDream]

Either a coincidence or we are getting some kind of rough rock/punk act? I don't see any similarities in date or line-up.

If it's The Gaslight Anthem I'd be stoked

Could be pretty exclusive, but do they deserve such a tease? I would like it, but not the biggest fan

Ruled out from Mad Cool, for what it's worth.

Was just thinking that

Teasing nin.. what a joke

[cc1989]

Perfect addition. Now just to wait for am on Monday to complete as close to a dream line up for me as possible. Roll on July!!!

[Red Day]

Having been going to festivals for years I’m genuinely astounded at the quality of the line up. So glad I chose this one to go to

Why? Best band of the line-up by far.

So it's basically Mad Cool -some small Bands +The National instead of Depeche Mode. They should have confirmed that earlier....

No need, 3-day passes were sold out before the ones of Mad Cool. I guess the 1-day tickets won't be much of a problem either.

Plus, I kind of enjoy the slow release, instead of dropping a lot at once. They don't have as many names as Mad Cool on the bill of course.

yeah, i was thinking the same, but mad cool has some important additional acts: massive attack, kasabian, tame impala, justice, jack johnson (not important for me, but maybe it can shift a few tickets). werchter will probably deliver a very similar line up too. 

i think that in the end nos, werchter, and mad cool will be pretty much on par both on terms of quality and style. my advice for those who couldn't buy 3 days passes for this or mad cool is to choose werchter.

Yes, this was no critisism. I've went to NOS last two year and would have gone a third time, but mad cools' lineup was more relevant to me. But i really enjoy NOS - good festivalplace, best sound i've ever heard in such a big location and a wonderful audience. Hopefully Mad Cool will at least half as good at NOS :-)

Yeah, Mad Cool was pretty early too and I can understand the draw. Together with a friend we decided very early on that we wanted to go to Portugal because we make a bigger vacation out of it. Moreover, we chose NOS because of previous line-ups and some good stories. So I really like to hear you had a great time and that the audio is pretty good. 

With that stacked line-up and a new festival terrain I really do hope for all that enthusiastic Mad Cool go-ers all will go well. I have that northern European, arrogant lack of confidence in organizational capacities down South... But I like to think I am wrong 

[Charliecatnip]

So are NIN headliners ? Or can I still hope for arctic monkeys next week 

[cc1989]

I'd still expect arctic monkeys on Monday. Hopefully. 

[StupidDream]

Looking at the other days, an act as big as AM should be expected. And otherwise, why wait so long for final headliner?

Because every festival will announce AM on Monday, there are like 10-15 festivals to announce AM at the same time.
