Haven't posted on here in years but this line up, personally, is one of the best I've seen. I basically need to go but my usual group of mates can't go for various reasons.

 

anyone on here been to this by themselves? Any advise?

Wondering about this myself. 

So tempted but had a bit of a bad time at Primavera on my own.

There's a pool, shop, couple of places that serve food and a few small activities i think like mini golf. Grounds not too bad, although a few areas are quite hilly.

Sounds alright that. Toilets/showers?

[bocumaroy]

Does it not get ludicrously hot to camp in a tent?

[dannie88]

Any rumours for the third headliner?

Savages and Last Shadow Puppets were confirmed by a user on a spanish forum that has been right about everything.

Yes yoilets and showers all over the campsite. Never camped at Lisbon bit if its anything like any other european festivals/places ive camped you'll wake up dripped in sweat far too early yearning for a cold shower.

Yeah I've never done camping in Europe but I can imagine it not being ideal. Might go for the hostel package.

I've camped at Isle of Wight, waking up at 7am boiling hot. Bands here are on until 3am+, not a chance I'm getting into a tent when the sun is already shining. Aircon all the way.

[DDave]

Defintely can't go to this now . Just got to sit back and torture myself by seeing pretty much all my favourite band's being added

Jagwar Ma now added.

Fucks sake!

[Anderson19]

Jagwar Ma aswell now.

seriously one of the best festival lineups for a long while.

[Richi1988]

Seems I'm the only one oblivious to who they are. What 2/3 songs would you advise me to listen to?

[stevieweevil]

Just booked tickets for this... just couldn't resist the line-up!
Looking for some tips on where to stay, the logistics of getting too and from the festival site etc.

Would preferably like to be somewhere with a pool - someone said Cascais is a good area to stay, but not sure if it would be a nightmare getting home in the early hours every night!

Centre of Lisbon is probably your best bet, easy access to & from the festival even in the early hours & it's a wonderful city to explore. 

 

Cascais is beautiful but it's quite a way from the festival, I don't think the train runs in the early hours either so it could be difficult. If you're stopping for a few days before/after then I'd recommend making the trip to Cascais at some point, but I wouldn't personally stay there for the duration of the festival.

Thanks for the info.... just checked the official website and it seems they lay quite a few extra trains on back to Cascais...

Algés –» Cascais: 2h15, 2h30, 2h45, 3h00, 3h30, 4h00 e 4h30

Will do a bit of research - Cascais does seem quite pricey. Thanks again Frankly

Just listen to 'Howlin' it's a great album. If you haven't time. Check out 'the Throw' 'Come Save me' and 'Man I need'

[carlmcg]

The festival site itself is pretty simple, it's a massive stage surrounded my stall then the other stages are tents, like V or Leeds/Reading, it isn't a huge site in festival terms but there is plenty to do/see. Me, I've had enough of walking around Primavera endlessly.

Is there any chance that Bloc Party, The National or Jamie xx will be announced?

No, they are all doing another festival  in Lisbon (the weekend after Alive).

Savages and The Last Shadow Puppets were confirmed by someone who has inside info on a lot of festivals.

I have been looking at gaps in schedules and who is touring, what do we think is the likelihood of:

CHVRCHES  

Caribou (seem to have a history of playing?)

Vince Staples

PJ Harvey (under Arcade Fire?)

At The Drive-In (wouldn't just play one show in Europe in the summer)

Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Delorean

Major Lazer

MO

[kipper64]

The missus and myself have decided to hit this up this Summer.  Absolutely blinder of a line-up so far!

Really hoping At The Drive-In get added.  This reunion tour seems like it'll be a lot fuller than their last stint in 2012 which only hit a couple of festivals if I recall what with the new music and solo dates prior.  Last time they did Beni so might do there again meaning they'll be closeby around the same time.

The girlfriend loves Chvrches so would welcome them as well.

Guessing most of the above would be a toss up between here or Super Bock Super Rock the week after though, so hard to tell at this stage unless the gaps rule them out for SBSR.
