  1. I think the missing names must be for next month, honestly the director of this festival likes to announce names late... he is the same director of the Vilar de Mouros Festival which is also in August and only has 1 name announced. It takes a long time to announce names.

    I think things have been heading that way for a while. I think I saw something with Live Nation where they said they want to sign up artists for festival "tours". I imagine that's much cheaper - probably for both parties.

    Don't the Kalorama people do BBK and Casa Mijas too? They've certainly have a lot of crossover and with BBK I wonder if they're able to do deals for one year's BBK at the same time as the following year's Kalorama.

    yes, BBK, Cala Mijas, Kalorama are Last Tour, but there is Last Tour Spain and Portugal, so the Director of Last Tour Portugal is actually director of the Vilar de Mouros Festival and two other small festivals here in Portugal.

    Not at Primavera Porto though- although Prodigy were added late as a headline name last year and neither were they.

    The theory is that Blur/Nick Cave were added the last two years after Primavera Porto - possibly because they had deals where they couldn't be announced at other Portuguese festivals till that one had gone ahead.

    Kalorama's director is the same as Vilar de Mouros and hiring Prodigy for both festivals probably had a special price.

    I heard a director on a podcast saying that Dua Lipa was 1 million, two concerts 1 million and a half

    I dont know anything but i think it is clear that there is a headliner missing there. In the 2 editions of kalorama that have happened there was a headliner only announced in june that came from primavera 

    It's possible, we have PJ Harvey, Lana, Pulp on tour in August

    I thought that would be the case tbf as I imagine plenty of people would be trying to see most of the big names at once, not least in the case of Pulp & The National.

    I guess the hesitation is more that I don't really know any of the undercard on their day.

    That day there are two Portuguese bands that I really like, Best Youth and Expresso Transatlântico.

    At the risk of sounding like an idiot, the idea will be that Pulp and The National on the Saturday will play in timeslots that you can see both, right?

    Just curious as the idea of dropping in for their day appeals.

    Main names never play at the same time.

    I didn't find it tricky at all. Bus was easy, comfortable and direct - don't remember any traffic even which can blight UK festivals.

    Parede de Coura, is a super calm village.
    Festival is very well organized. The director thinks a lot about his fans.

    Strongly considering this as the summer’s international festival, but it’s trickier to get to than some. Is it best to fly to Porto and go from there? (From London, that is.)

    Travel by plane to Porto and then take a bus to Paredes de Coura.

    I completely agree, I think the booking work is impeccable. I only postponed my visit to the festival due to the problem of sleeping, I really can't camp. But this year I had a great incentive, I booked a room nearby, rented a car, and I'll be in Coura for at least two days.

    Looking at some videos of the crowd, mainly at front row, it´s crazy. Can´t wait for that.

    I hope you like it and enjoy it a lot.
    The line-up will be closed by the 15th of this month.
