Highly unlikely, for such big names I would say only some room left on the Thursday. But both Kasabian and Tame Impala are at Mad Cool that day. Massive Attack has quite a lot of gigs during that period, doubt whether they would squeeze in another.

But NOS has superprised us before. Although I don't believe they will put Kasabian with Two Door Cinema Club and The Kooks on the Friday.

Interpol is probably too big for the Thursday?

Interpol came to NOS Alive’14, the same day Arctic Monkeys played at the time. 

In other words, it’s not impossible, but I have my doubts about that...

I expect one more name for Friday and I don’t think it will be a Portuguese one. 

On the other hand, I’m expecting Capitão Fausto to open NOS Stage on the Thursday.

If you see the line up on their website, National and Jack White are alone under the headliner. On Thursday, we have two bands under Arctic Monkeys...

My bet is that Massive Attack will close Nos Stage on thursday and Capitão Fausto or Linda Martini will open that day.

On another hand I think that Interpol can come on frinday because it´s the weakest day until now. 

[Tigane]

I still want Black Rebel Motorcycle Club!

[antoniopinho]

I am pretty sure that Nine Inch Nails will close the NOS Stage on thursday. They will probably announce one international mid-tier band to play before Snow Patrol and one portuguese band like Capitão Fausto or Linda Martini and close the stage with 5 names as usual

[lima]

Are we at the end of the announcements now or is they're gonna be another few bands lined up to play??...would love if jain would be there one of the days .. 

[antoniopinho]

There are still some bands to announce, especially in the second stage (Sagres Stage)

[festivalguy97]

They´re probably still announcing 1/2 international bands and 1/2 portuguese bands for Main Stage.

There are still around 12 names for Sagres Stage (smaller stage).

The are still missing acts for Palco Coreto by Arruada for saturday.

And NOS Clubbing is also missing around 20 names. 

 

[joaommaia]

It’s something like this:

NOS Stage
12 - Arctic Monkeys, Nine Inch Nails, Snow Patrol, +1/2?
13 - QOTSA, The National, Two Door Cinema Club, The Kooks, +0/1?
14 - Pearl Jam, Jack White, Franz Ferdinand, Alice In Chains e MGMT.


Sagres Stage
12 - Wolf Alice, Friendly Fires, Khalid, Sampha, +4?
13 - Future Islands, Portugal. The Man, CHVRCHES, Rag'n'Bone Man, Yo La Tengo, EELS, +2?
14 - Mallu Magalhães, Real Estate, At the Drive In, Perfume Genius, Marmozets, +3?


Between 10 and 12 names to be announced for these stages.

Yes it is one of the stages, more dedicated to electronic music and some hip hop, however last year was kind of a extension of Coreto Stage (the one for portuguese bands).  Let s see what they will do this year

Very cool...thankyou.. 

[Tigane]

So 6 bands for the Nos Stage on the last day

[StupidDream]

Strange and surprising... Could we also expect more for the other days?

The Last Internationale comes hardly as a surprise to me if you read back my comment from yesterday.  So it was a small mistake after all in the English news message coming with Nine Inch Nails. 

[joaommaia]

Ok, this is a plot twist 

[antoniopinho]

So strange, especially knowing that Pearl Jam usually plays for like 2 hours and a half. Maybe i can dream about Tame Impala on the 13th?

[StupidDream]

First act on main stage at 17:00 instead of 18:00? Not seeing how this could work otherwise, especially with Pearl Jam having a really long slot. Maybe The Last Internationale just 30 minutes would help too, but you need some time for the change-up as well. Definitely see MGMT playing after Pearl Jam now. 

[arcuse]

The Last Internationale (18:00-18:45) > Franz Ferdinand (19:15-20:15) > Alice In Chains (20:45-21:45) > Jack White (22:15-23:30) > Pearl Jam (00:00-2:15) > MGMT (2:45-3:45) 

Something like that (or switch FF w/ AiC)

Sorry for that it's a bug. 

NOS Alive is going to be insane. 6 bands on NOS Stage on the last day including a 2h40 show changes everything. We can expect way more acts than what we previously expected. 

[GreenIsTheColour]

What are the chances of Interpol playing? I heard Tame Impala will only do Mad Cool.

I think that they can play on the first day and Massive Attack too

[clasher]

Tame Impala is some kind of exclusive, although I don't know whether spain, peninsula or europe. And they played two years ago, would be a quick return...

What's with all the shared acts with Mad Cool though? What's now, 90% of international acts? Not trying to diss or provoke anyone, but seems like kind of a partnership deal, can we expect something like that in future editions too?

could be, and given the timing of the announcements it seems to me that mad cool had a sort of exclusivity, and other festivals like nos could announce the same acts just a month later (or something like that)

[jesssssss]

Hey, 

 

So it's my first year going. How does it work? Is Arctic Monkeys the headliner for Thursday? How long are the acts? And how early should I get there to get front row? etc. 

 

Appreciate any information! 

[antoniopinho]

Arctic Monkeys are the headliners, but its likely that Nine Inch Nails closes the stage. AM in like a 22:30 slot and NIN in a 00.30 slot. idk how early you shoul be there to get front row, depends on the band. the festival usually opens like 4 pm
