    Bit of a shame they're out on a limb so early in the day, but really enjoying Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever the more I listen to them. Mellow, slightly jangly indie rock with great harmonies. Perfect sunshine music:
     


     

    Yeah cool band, I dont think its the worse thing in the world that theyre on early, like you say, nice to watch in the sun. I will definately be getting there early to see them!

    I remember the year I went before, Radiohead ad The Cure were both busy, while Stones Roses was absolutely dead. Reckon we may see a repeat of that on Friday night for VW!

    When radiohead were playing i met Kevin Parker in the crowd last time! I got slightly over excited and kissed his beard

    I remember reading on here months back about waiting to seewho'd be the third headliner and then there was the rumour that Childish Gambino pulled out of many festivals. So that could explain why VW are headlining here but nowhere else. 

    Yeah I dont think there was too much substance to most of the rumours, I think weve just been hopeful the whole way through that they would pull somebody bigger out the bag. (I like VW, but not headlining)

    It looks very weak. So are VW headlining? I like them, but it just seems like they've given up looking and VW have been boosted from sub since we were told there'd be another headliner. 

    When were we told there would be another headliner??

    Festicket used to say 'more to be announced' after certain stages and dates - it doesn't anymore, maybe that is the full lineup. Also,Tom walker has  disappeared from the lineup on there

     

    Good

    Wed to wed. Flying from Bergamo and I'm tempted to go to Vampire Weekend in Milan on Tuesday :)

    Then, one night in an horrible apartment (it looks like an hospital), 3 nights in bungalow and last 3 nights in a pretty good apartment (I think in Rossio, don't remember exactly now). 

    I'm wondering if it's worth to rent a bike to do some route next to the coast. 

    We have planned to go to Lx Factory on Sunday as well. 

    What is the LX Factory? Is it worth a visit?

    so, no annoucement and no timetables today neither. we have some questions:

    1. at what time did the concerts end more o less?

    2. what about going partyin after it? (we are staying in the camping) is there party in the camping? or the best is going to Lisbon?

    Any answer is helpful!! thanks!!

    see you in Nos!!

    I think from previous years, the timetable is usually released about 2 weeks prior to the festival. Would very much expect them to complete the lineup very soon though! 

    From memory acts generally start at about 5pm, obviously the bigger names on later. 

    The final acts of the evening finish early in to the morning, so never actually needed to go into lisbon afterwards! There always seems to be something going on at the campsite afterwards, but by this time its usally like 4am. 

    (Someone feel free to correct me if any of this is wrong)

    Paredes de Coura has easily the best lineup in portugal this year. I think NOS Primavera Sound and Paredes de Coura are almost undoubtely the best festivals here if we don't take in account merely the lineups

    Just seen the lineup for this for the first time, certainly a decent lineup but wouldnt say it was head and shoulders over NOS. 

    I think its just the fact that many of the main acts at this years festival are not quite as relevant as they have had in the past. (previously had a good mix). But I would say The Cure and Smashing Pumpkins are as big as any name on that lineup.

    Based on previous lineups I think it is fair to say this has been the best festival in Portugal for the past 10 years. Yes, the lineup is somewhat lacklustre this year, but it seems to be that way everywhere is Europe. 

    This is a superb festival no matter who is performing. But yes, I think we can all agree on how poor the PR and communication has been this year, probably the first year they have had where the lineup doesn't just sell itself. 

    I think id probably go as far as to say that despite this being NOS Alive's worst year by a mile, the lineup is still better than any others I can think of...

    And there are people saying that Nos Alive is better than other portuguese festivals? Most incosistent lineup and worst PR/managemente I´ve seen in years, are they saving up money for the 2020 edition, because I can´t understand why they are taking so long to announce things, and to even tell that there are artists that cancelled.
