Nos have just posted a new updated poster on facebook. Does that mean they are done for a little bit or am I thinking too much into it. I know there isn't much left and with it being sold out will they just announce at a slower pace 

Yes, you’re probably right. But if it happens, my thoughts are: no more big attractions (like Kasabian, Tame Impala and so on...)

I hope with it sold out they just announce the rest soon. More than usual has been announced at this stage

Another change to the picture on Facebook ( thinking too much into it)

Yeah, the info on it doesn't differ from the previous? 

Hopefully they keep adding at least one act a week... But probably depends on the sales of day tickets and their strategy. I think it is safe to say we get at least one rather big name for the Thursday to match the other days. Unfortunately, it could take a couple of weeks for the AM announcement to wear off. And maybe there is an act that still has to announce (a part of) their touring schedule. Mad Cool Saturday seem to miss a second line name as well...

Miguel Araújo added for the Thursday on the NOS stage, so here we have the first Portugese act. Don't know him but apparently he is big in Portugal. Is he any good live?

[joaommaia]

Yes, he is, but the choice of bring him, instead of Capitão Fausto or Linda Martini, is terrible. Doesn’t fit.

It is like a Radio Comercial (the official radio of the festival)  choice, rather that booking with logic (However he is better than Agir, Richie Campbell  and others)

[StupidDream]

Mad Cool has dropped some new names today, especially for Thursday July 12 these may be interesting (for both stages):

Underworld
Dua Lipa
Ben Howard
Jet
Goat Girl
Pile
Paul Kalkbrenner (Fri Mad Cool, Sat Dour in Belgium)
Weval

Not quite the names we've discussed before

[antoniopinho]

my first guess is Dua Lipa on the NOS Stage July 12

[MiniTi]

Tame Impala anounced a concert july 15 in the uk and it´s uk exclusive so, they are not mad cool exclusive in europe

Hope they come on friday, Underworld/Massive Attack and Ben Howard on the first day would be awesome.

Fuck Dua Lipa and Post Malone, don´t want them near from the festival.

[joaommaia]

Dua Lipa and Post Malone far away from Oeiras, please.

Today I’m disappointed because I really thought Capitão Fausto would open NOS Stage on the Thursday. They’re one of my favorite bands and they’re incredible live. 

Anyway, what I meant to tell you with this is that I think the other bands to be confirmed on NOS Stage for the Thursday will be on Miguel Araújo’s style :/ Very bad for NIN.

[lightsnowpatrol]

What we still expecting international wise. Two main Thursday, 2 tent Thursday anymore?

[antoniopinho]

I still think that NIN will be the last concert in the NOS stage, and that will not affect the audience since everyone that´s not interested should be out by then

We still have the Clubbing stage without nothing.  There are usual some international names in that stage

[cc1989]

Still hoping there's a chance we get kasabian

Bryan Ferry confirmed for 12/7

wow, that's a bit of a surprising one! 

[cc1989]

Was not expecting that one at all. 

[StupidDream]

Well, this is kind of a shock, hoping for a sixth name for the NOS stage like Saturday? And hopefully some international names still to come for the tent. Nothing But Thieves? 

[cc1989]

I'd say nothing but thieves and clap your hands say yeah are likely. Then one of James bay, stereophonics or catfish and the bolltmen. Kasabian play mad cool on the Thursday, Friday they are available but then start a tour of Italy from Saturday onwards so may use the 13th for travel/rest.

[DDave]

Bryan Ferry is a great addition.

Could potentially be a very good set. Never seen him before and happy he’s been added

[joaommaia]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is just a question of when they’ll be announced. Multiple leaks.

[lightsnowpatrol]

Kaiser chiefs are announcing gigs tomorrow, most likely UK festival or lokerese/werchter but they would be cool for Thursday
