Optimus Alive 12

[FionaLimb]

If anyone is after camping passes (Lisboa) we have 2 to sell. Currently on offer on a well known auction site less than face value. We've decided to book a hotel now for the air con and not having to lug camping equipment. Could do either a pick up in Leeds area or we're in Lisbon from Weds eve.

If your interested msg me, please note these are just the camping passes.

Ta Fi .

Hey!

I just bought plane, hotel and festival pass for the two first days to Optimus Alive, very very spontaneous. I'm going to this festival alone, which is a first for me, so I'm just wondering how the age range is on this festival. I'm 20 myself, and from Norway (we're a shy people) so will it be difficult to find people to hang with? I'm so stoked about the whole thursday line-up, so I'm really looking forward to this anyways!

Also, how are the taxi/train prices down there?

Setting off for Luton in a few hours! Have a good time everyone and stay safe its going to be a good one, hope to see a few of you over there. See you in a week have fun.

[anfield1989]

FYI...there are special trains from 2.30am to 4.30am.

They go from Alges (festival stop) back to central station (cais do sodre).

I THINK the next trains after start in the morning around 5.30am but judging by times festival will be finished by 4am so it should be all good.

Just got up to drive to Luton. Reminds me of that pre-Reading excitement feeling from years ago!

[sigurd1510]

Thursday line up ????? Did I miss something ?

[Anderson19]

Thats the saturday line up not thursday ;-)

[sigurd1510]

Hahaha jeezez... you're totally right, of course:)

[chewbacca]

i probably have one 3 day-pass + camping for sale, one of my mates can't go. anyone intersted?

[ohduarte]

Any of you guys camped at lisboa camping before? dont know whether its worth taking a football so we can have a kick about during the day seeing as music only starts in the afternoon. Is there space?

[chewbacca]

oh, and another question: does anyone know when we are allowed to arrive at the camping field on the FR?

[glizco]

@chewbacca: don't know about space for football but afaik camping allows optimus-alive-campers on site per 9 o'clock friday morning. but i guess you could arrive a night earlier and just pay the extra fee.

counting down the days till i leave on friday .... work is driving me crazy today ..... people with questions! urghhh get me some beer!

Just been checking out The Cures sets from the festivals they've done already. 30+ songs on many of them, 36 on one. Think they'll be filling that 3 hours!

[Benconlon16]

I can't wait, leave for Lisbon tomorrow.

yeah im seeing the start of the Cure then off to see sebastian then back for the last few songs of cure

Radioheads setlist was ok last night ....... hoping for a couple more hits for their festival setlist but wouldnt be dissapointed if they kept it the same

[ToonRenegade]

Quick question.. I wont arrive at lisbon airport until after 7:30pm on Friday so I am looking to get to the campsite quickly. What would be the best way to do this?

I know I could get a taxi but not sure how much that would be? Any other ways of getting to the festival?

Help would be much appreciated

[chewbacca]

FATM cancelled, i hope nothing too good fills in. there are already too many good acts on about that time

[pryce]

move Tricky to the main stage ..... and move Katy B down

thats what i would do... guessing no new band will come in

[pryce]

if a new band ... then bjork please .... perfect fit and she cancelled her fest appearence in portugal last month

[chewbacca]

there will be a new band... "Soon will be announced who will take the place left by the cancellation". but i would love the tricky-thing
