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.

It's a festival that doesn't always have a proper day headliner.
If you look to 2023 final poster, on the first line you find Lorde, Little Simz, Wilco and Loyle Carner but Lorde and Wilco played on the same day, while none from the first day is on the first line of the poster. 13 names are written in a bigger font than the other ones so they look more like 13 co-headliners.
It's a festival that always tries and book the biggest number of quality names on tour in August, but still keeping a cheap ticket. And I think they're doing an impressive job.
Around 18 names are missing and I think a couple of them will be quite big... And most of them will be good 🙂

Joao performs "miracles", Parede de Coura is on the same weekend as Pukkelpop (Belgium) and Lowlans (Netherlands), in short it is not easy to convince the "big" bands that are at one end of Europe and come to Portugal, besides Furthermore, Paredes de Coura does not have hotels because it is a small town, it happens that the artists have to stay in Porto which is more than 100 km from Paredes de Coura, this is the same with the Vilar de Mouros Festival.

In 2018, Arcade Fire rejected 3 festivals to perform in Paredes de Coura, because they loved the vibe of the audience and the venue itself, which is a natural amphitheater.

It's not my favorite festival in Portugal, my favorite is Festival Vilar de Mouros, but I go to Coura and I've seen good concerts there, I really admire the work of organizing both festivals.

I need more confirmations, because I really want to go but my friends are not convinced by the current lineup 😞 (even though I LOVE it so far)

Tomorrow there's a big Punk name ;) until the 15th the line-up is all announced

Heard about this , dont know if its true or not but its a heavy rumour

Aug 21 - QOTSA (already confirmed)
Aug 22 - Korn
Aug 23 - The Offspring

no idea for the 24th though

The person who told me that tomorrow Paredes de Coura will announce IDLES, was the same person who told me that Korn had initially accepted but then refused but no proposal was made... however the bands you said are the ones I have the most interest in. Mind the next announcements but at the same time it's going to be crazy.

I also wanted Avril Lavigne on 12th but not available. I wish we could have Tom Odell on the Main Stage that day, he's still available and play at Mad Cool the day before.

The only time Avril Lavigne came to Portugal was in 2004 for Super Bock Super Rock, it's the only place I believe she will come this year.

I don't understand this absence from Portugal for so many years, a few days ago I had to talk to a friend who is a huge fan of Avril Lavigne who told me that Portugal has few fans, which I found strange...

Avril was married for many years to the lead singer of Nickelback, and when Nickelback came to Portugal in 2002, they were thrown off the stage with stones and bottles, which is why she became afraid of Portugal 😄😄

A very good headliner. Liked their nos alive concert last year

I also attended this concert at Alive.
But at NOS Alive people were more like Sam Smith and posting on Instagram, in Vilar de Mouro people go there to experience music in its purest form without social media, so it's going to be incredible.

Not a headliner but on at the top of the poster?

There is a headliner that remains to be announced and can only be announced in March.
QOSTA the festival tried... they didn't accept it...
Headliner that will be announced in March is not as big as QOSTA.

If Girl In Red is not on the Saturday, are we still waiting for the 'main' Saturday night headliner to be announced? as she's currently on the top of the poster..

Girl In Red is not a headliner and it is on Cat Power day

Another terrible announcement. And there I was thinking Jungle or Parcels might get announced today...

The festival's marketing strategy is really poor. I would actually say poor ticket sales last year are down to a poor marketing strategy, as last year's line up was so much better than this. They are going to struggle big time with this line up.

Are we assuming Girl in Red is Saturday night headliner?

GiR is on the same day as Cat Power and I don't think it's on Saturday.
It could only be GiR or Parcels...Parcels are on Alive.

Worst line-up ever

Tomorrow more names

To be honest...what is the benefit of announcing rhese three names today instead of joining them with yesterday's announcement? Does this create any buzz?

I may not yet have authorization to advertise. Authorization may have arrived after yesterday's announcement.
I know there were doubts about signing this band and another electropop band (I can't mention their name), now I don't know if they'll just play this one.

January 31
