    So, after these last two weeks with some new announcements the line-up looks something like this (the order they are in isn't quite right; acts in bold are shared with Mad Cool):

    THURSDAY 12 JULY

    Palco NOS: [...] - [...] - Snow Patrol - [...] - [...]
    Palco Sagres: [...] - [...] - Khalid - [...] - [...] - Wolf Alice - Friendly Fires - [...]

    FRIDAY 13 JULY

    Palco NOS: [???] - [...] - The Kooks - Two Door Cinema Club - The National - Queens of the Stone Age
    Palco Sagres: [...] - [...] - Rag'n'Bone Man - Portugal. The Man - Eels - Yo La Tengo - Future Islands - CHVRCHES

    SATURDAY 14 JULY

    Palco NOS: [...] - Franz Ferdinand - Jack White - Pearl Jam
    Palco Sagres: [...] - Mallu Magalhães - Marmozets - [...] - Real Estate - [Clap Your Hands Say Yeah] - Perfume Genius - At the Drive-In 

    I assumed on Saturday only four acts will play on the mainstage because Pearl Jam will likely play up to 2.5h and Jack White will probably do also quite a set. I don't know if they put anything in the tent during PJ, so potentially one act less on the Saturday. With TDCC, The National and QotSA on Friday I am not sure how this will work out, maybe also just four acts although having two days with four is hard to imagine. Thursday still pretty empty, with Arctic Monkeys heavily rumoured to headline. TBH I can't think of anyone else at the moment that would fit. So otherwise it would be a surprise or 'disappointing'. It would make sense to have another rather big name on the Thursday; either a sub for AM or a closing electronic/pop. To sum it all up: we need at least five names for the mainstage, assuming AM is correct. Could be some big Portugese acts I don't know. What are your thoughts?
    For the Thursday mainstage: looking at Mad Cool, main stage acts could be Jack Johnson, Nine Inch Nails or Alice in Chains. I thought I'd read somebody saying AiC was an Iberian exclusive, but I am not sure. Somewhat smaller are Kaleo and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. From Bilbao BBK Noel Gallagher is still a possibility, his exact date has yet to be confirmed though. From TRNSMT Liam Gallagher or Stereophonics? Some other wild guesses, at least names I couldn't rule out: Mø, St. Vincent, Nothing But Thieves, Catfish and the Bottleman, Skunk Anansie, London Grammar (better in a tent), The Offspring, Fischerspooner, James. Nothing announced yet but good possibility, also previously mentioned: The Vaccines. Elbow?

    I guess that for the about 8-9 names for the Sagres stage we will get some Portugese names as well. 

    Nice work :) I expect Friday and Saturday are near to done for international acts maybe the odd one. Thursday still has about 6 already international

    Hmmm I didn't even consider gorillaz once arctic monkeys rumour got in full swing.  Now we have Jack white as a sub I'm confident of at least 2 big names joining the main stage line up even if it ends up looking top heavy. Now we seem to be at the final stretch, what are people's predictions for the acts to come? Heart says nine inch nails, brmc, black Madonna, Daniel Avery, Richie hawtin, 21 pilots (for the Mrs' benefit) kasabian, Alice in chains and arctic monkeys

    My head is now thinking arctic monkeys, gorillaz, Alice in chains at least. 

    I'm expecting arctic monkeys and then just few filler type names for the tent now. The only big space after arctic gets announced that i can think off is a big name for Thursday tent

    The insane thing is, my friends and me choosed to go to this festival next year more for the atmosphere than the line-up... What the fuck is actually happening... Franz Ferdinand - Jack White - Pearl Jam on the last day is mindblowing... The whole line-up is brilliant!

    Strongest nos line up I think and they've had strong ones in the past.

    I think he could, at least fits within his touring schedule. It is expected he will play Mad Cool on Friday, together with Arctic Monkeys. I doubt whether NOS will will be able to get them both. My feeling says we get AM, but they might be too expensive and it will be Jack White after all. Don't know how big he is in Portugal - could he be a headliner?

    I think mad cool will get him and am. Nos alive getting 1 of the 2, most likely the monkeys. Hopefully I'm wrong and we have both too but as the days go on I'm feeling like if we had all those names mad cool had we would have announced more of them by now. Be shame to miss out on kasabian and nine inch nails too knowing they are available and not far away on the days.

    Really want to see him but I won' be able to go Hammersmith for him :( I think nos and mad cool have done deals with a lot of bands. My dream would be they sub pearl jam but thats me being very wishful

    Went to RW last 3 years and fancied a change. Never been to Lisbon either.  We have airbnb booked in Belem which doesn't look too far away from festival.  I like fair majority of line up so far and really looking forward to it.

    Me and my mates explored belem when we there and it's either one stop on the train or like a 20/30 min walk

    That's the great thing about festivals.  A line up will not be 100% brilliant for everyone but as long as everyone gets a few bands that excite them, then it's a win for everyone.  I was delighted with QOTSA and the National, then Pearl Jam were confirmed and I'm buzzing.  Plus I've never been to Lisbon and everyone who's been says it's great.  Plus it's almost guaranteed bright sunshine 

    Agreed man :) I like about 85% of the line up already. I've been nos alive 15, 16 and werchter 17 and I love nos as a festival and lisbon as a place. The weather is amazing, campsite if your camping is really good, loads better than werchter

    I am not following all the social media feeds, but weren't most announcements rather quiet? At least we are getting some new names, opposed to most other European festivals. A (headliner?) announcement is expected for Mad Cool this week (likely Thursday), so I am expecting something for NOS as well. 

    Oh definitely agree with you there. I'm assuming we get snow patrol before the headliner so could be an interesting week

    Yo La Tengo added to the line-up, will play the Sagres stage on Friday.

    So that is another name from Mad Cool.

     

    Strange it was just put on the website with no announcement

    Just put on Facebook, suppose even social media weren't that excited

    Arctics, Snow Patrol and Clap Your Hands Say Hey are pretty certain.

    Hoping for Kaleo as well cause a member of my team is a big fan, and I love their rock songs. I'd love The Gaslight Anthem (rare), James (playing Bilbao so who knows, + they never come to my country in general), a guitar act from Mad Cool like Black Pistol Fire or Rival Sons, one of their subs like Kasabian or Nine Inch Nails.

    Otherwise, I want to see Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats performing the next album,  Gang Of Youths, Lord Huron, The War On Drugs (but Primavera Porto seems more probable for them) and Crystal Fighters for dancing, cause they are clearly insane and my team and I dream of seeing them again. And a coheadliner along Arctic Monkeys. 

    :) 

    Yh man tbh if I was being massively greedy I would also want nine inch nails, vaccines, jack white and foster the people

    Good addition for afternoon in the sun. Hopefully this is the start of more reveals. Pearl jam sold it for me early on and Lisbon the city itself. If arctics get added it will be perfect. I'd be greedy and what nine inch nails and/or Jack white on top of that. 

    I'm hoping for arctic, snow patrol and vaccines, I still think we have a sub under pearl jam
