antoniopinho Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Lorde + Tyler on the first day, if Tyler comes i don´t think he will be the last to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if we'll have them. I hope so and I still think there's merit to the idea but we'll have to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) It’s like a broken record in here. Gorillaz are much too expensive for the festival. Categorically they won’t play. Edited February 2, 2018 by xxialac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Thom Yorke, Gorillaz and another names, who knows, but I´m starting to believe all this Gorillaz thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

festivalguy97 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 What about Vampire Weekend? The last time they came to Portugal it was on NOS Alive and the festival ticket was 105 euros aswell and they weren´t even a headliner, I know it´s strange for them coming to Porto and not coming to Barcelona but just a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love them here but idk if that would be too much to ask for. Gorillaz are more likely than them tbh... I hope they don't go to Paredes de Coura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first gig back they’ve announced is practically September. So they’re not going to be playing in Porto in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they’re not going to be playing in Porto in June. I would not follow that logic. Obviously NPS has a specific schedule to follow... They wouldn't announce a show just because of them. But yeah, still, you would've guessed that vampire weekend would have been announced by other festivals. Nevermind I just destroyed my own argument hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s too expensive for them, but if they do that, it will be for sure one hell of a lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
festivalguy97 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Gorillaz and Vince Staples are playing at the same day at Rokslide Festival and same thing at the Werchter Festival, would be interesting if thay do that at NPS.

Justiceforcedave Posted February 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Am I right in believing that Gorillaz are only being talked about because they are on tour? There's no actual reason to believe that they would play over any other band who are touring at the moment (and not playing elsewhere)? I also agree they seem too big.

It's based on the most tenuous and ridiculous speculation (such as because Vince Staples is likely to be there, he is likely to put in a good word with Gorillaz about NPS..). They're too big, too expensive - can we talk about something realistic instead? The last several years of NPS you get an extra special lineup with a density of quality - but you don't get big expensive names with big expensive entourages like Gorillaz.

He could play (it would have to be on the 8th) and he's playing TINALS which has a similar type of budget/feel. Only reason to think not is Gabi's criticism of him - not sure whether this bad feeling is extended to the Porto bookers. Hopefully not.

One thing i learned yesterday from people inside the festival, every band that the portuguese directors want to have in the line up, they need to have the acceptance from the spanish side. Based in this, i think the possibilities of Beck coming to NPS are very low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
