Justiceforcedave Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm hoping for some heavier stuff to be added to the bill. Deftones are touring this year and seem to have played a few times previously, it would be nice to have them on board. I really hope we don't end up with one of the "K" bands (Kings of Leon, The Killers or Kasabian). Chemical Brothers/Pixies for Thursday, Guns N Roses for Friday and then something else guitar based for the Sunday would tingle my mingle.

Justiceforcedave Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 ...Neil Young! That'd be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Neil Young would be brilliant, as far as I can tell he has a gig in Sweden on the 5th July & then one in Amsterdam on the 9th, so he could possibly Headline on the 8th? He also doesn't seem to have any Spanish or Portugese tour dates announced yet either... I was thinking RHCP might be likely as well, but their tour dates indicate it's very unlikely though not impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obamacares Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Neil young would be wonderful!!!! Maybe Bruce Springsteen on the last day???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richi1988 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 At the ripe young age of 27 I personally wouldn't mind one of the 3 K's. Though I understand it's different vibes for different tribes! Reckon we'll get a surprise headliner that isn't one of the bands playing just about every other festival. I was speaking to one of the organisers last year whilst buying my 2016 ticket on the last day and he said that it was going to be a very special year with it being the 10yr anniversary.

obamacares Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Did he confirmed that we'll get a exclusive headliner or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richi1988 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 No just said that it was going to be a special year. But saying these things and managing to book the bands you have in mind are 2 different things. Although to be fair they've done pretty well so far!!!

Uncle Liam Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 OK. So I just booked a ticket to this. Best part of Lisbon to stay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richi1988 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 The campsite is really good, has a pool and a fair few facilities. Can also stop in a log cabin there if campings not your thing. After stopping in a cabin the forst year i went I opted to try the hotel ibis across the road last year for more comfort. Really cheap and still get use of the free festival buses which drop off at the campsite to and from the fest. There's a few hotel ibis' in lisbon so you need to make sure you book the one in alfragide. Never stopped anywhere else other than these two places but hope that helps.

Richi1988 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Courtney Barnett added to Heineken stage on Friday. Still 9 more tba for main stage inc 2 headliners, and 20 for heineken stage. Pretty happy with how its shaping up so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obamacares Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 What about Radiohead?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richi1988 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 If Radiohead get announced that would be immense! Maybe they might try make the line up based on the previous line ups from the last 9 years for the 10th edition. That would be interesting!

It's hard to answer, anywhere on the trainline to Cascais is good. The trains run but there's no metro at 3am. It's all cheap enough that I don't fancy camping. One year some lads on the flight back had had everything robbed. Everything. They'd had to book a hotel anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there's a huge main stage and a much smaller second stage. It's not like Primavera with things on 4+ stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomViolence Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 This is becoming a big possibility for me. Can't do Primavera or Open'er this year so looking for another Euro fest. Shaping up nicely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time going for me , I booked a 4 bed apartment through airbnb in the Belem area, looks like a 20 minute walk to the festival from it !

Homer Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) This hostel is a great place to meet other youngish people, and a really nice place generally. For the fest itself, I stated in the cabin, which were good, but if you want a hostel this place is top drawer. http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Alfama-Patio-Hostel/Lisbon/24771?s_kwcid=AL!591!3!90160285580!e!!g!!alfama%20patio%20hostel&source=adwordsenhostelnames&network=g&creative=90160285580&adposition=1t2&uniqueclickID=14667353113373108665&sub_keyword=alfama%20patio%20hostel&sub_ad=e&sub_publisher=ADW&ef_id=UXUz5gAAAezJ7jz1:20160115145731:s Edited January 15, 2016 by Homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are now rumoured to play a US Stadium on the 4th of July (source : alternativenation), and to headline Bonnaroo in June (sources : alternativenation, local radios..) these are still rumours so we have to wait for the announcement in January, but PJ seems now unlikely to play at NOS Alive and Rock Werchter, as rumoured in the past weeks Noooooooooooooooooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richi1988 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Apparently one of his most recent gigs he played a 3 1/2 hour set doing a lot of the river and about 10-15 classics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
