Just booked up to stay at the Hotel Americano through ebookers http://www.ebookers.com/hotels/Portugal/Lisbon/Hotel_Americano.h115339/

doesn't look too far from the festival and looks as though it's in the heart of the city centre... worked out to be about £380 for 7 days between 3 people

Tickets have arrived!! 9 weeks to go.

mine arrived about a month ago .... still waiting for one i booked at a different time though

lack of announcements has really made me not think about this festival for a while

been busy booking other holidays

they really need to announce a couple of others just to give people something else to check out

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Portishead are playing in Spain & Italy in late June & France on July 19th, slim chance of them appearing under Radiohead perhaps?

[pryce]

Does anyone know what sort of weather conditions and temperature it will be in the day/at night?

I went to Super Bock Super Rock which was on the same weekend (and is v near Lisbon) last year. Day time was around 27 to 30 degrees. Evenings were warm but it was worth taking a jumper for after midnight. By 7am the sun was coming back up and it was arm-ish again. I was there for 10 days and it didn't rain once.

Where can i get camping tickets? only festival tickets left.

[Homer]

I have booked a bungalow and have bought a non-camping ticket, is this correct? Like with most things, this wasn’t particularly clear at the time, but I thought that paying extra for a camping one would be to secure your pitch. I haven't made a heinous error have I?

I just checked the site and the closest it gets is this (which seems to be saying ‘you don't get a bungalow with your camping ticket’ more than anything else):

“You can only camp with the camping ticket, if you need extra comfort and wish to book a bungalow, please contact the camping directly”

We've done exactly the same - booked a bungalow and just a 3 day non-camping tickets. We thought that as it wasn't a campsite just for the festival but for anyone staying near Lisbon we wouldn't need a camping space as well as a bungalow.

Also we were starting to get worried about whether they'd let us on the shuttle bus from the campsite without the camping wristband?

[YBJamie]

does anyone know of a 3 day with camping ticket being sold that they could point me in the direction of?
