Lisbon is a relatively small city, so just choose something you like. Uber/Bolt are usually cheap, so no worries. I would sugfest you staying in Saldanha area or Marquês de Pombal. If you prefer to stay in the downtown, maybe Bairro Alto/Principe Real is the place for you.

Actually, it was 2018. That year we only had the Auditori for Wednesday and Thursday. So they used the other auditorium for those shows (like 14h00) on Friday and Saturday.

On the 30th? Seriously? I mean, LCD, The Smile, Jungle and TPS/DCFC are not headliners enough?

No, no Ciutat equivalent in Porto. Maybe something announced later for the Wednesday, but not 100% guaranteed. And it would be something that barely can be called "unmissable".

It is significantly smaller, like a lot. It only has 4 (or 5) stages, with at least two not running at the same time. At this point, maybe one or two additions (more like replacements in case someone drops), not much more than that. It seems that Bits will not retuen this year.

Playing NOS Alive already. Not impossible, but very unlikely. And I think that they are not headlining material in Portugal

Explosions in the Sky are doing other shows. Ypsirock in Italy, for example, but also headlining shows.

One question - if FKA Twigs would have been replaced at that mexican festival by, let's say, a big local band (choose one), would we be discussion if that local mexican band would be the replacement in Barcelona? I mean, it was Grimes on that particular case, in February, in a Mexican festival...

I did the same. With the already announced names, I am more than happy.

If you buy your ticket until tomorrow (14 Feb) there is a small reduction of 10 euros (now on sale at 135 €).

Not yet. Last year, they informed that ticket prices would increase with the final wave of confirmations, in June (and gave some days to buy tickets at the first price before raising prices). Not sure if they will do the same this year.

From End of the Road, I am not sure if we will get much more. In 2022 and 2023, I think that we had zero crossover. For 2024, we do have already Nation of Language and English Teacher. From the headliners, Slowdive are out, I think (playing Paredes de Coura a couple of days before, as well Baxter-Dury and Sleater-Kinney). Idles might show up (but I think that maybe they will play Paredes de Coura too). Maybe Fever Ray. Would love to have Sprints too. From the rest of the lineup (which has great bands), I believe that they do not fit Kalorama (but maybe I am wrong - José Gonzalez played last year, for example).

I don't get this strategy of announcing names...every announcement is an anti-climax...

Kalorama is not of your taste?
