xxialac Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) Ah Amen Dunes, Talaboman at least. But that Gabi comment 'Porto will go its own way this year' was bullshit Edited February 8, 2018 by xxialac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 This line-up is not bad but it's a huge "meh" for me. Not worth the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even on the official website for christsake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Sorry for being so generally grumpy. I think if they are going to ask customers to sit through teasers and waiting, the least they can do is handle the release properly. Plus not booking any unique bigger acts is a huge mistake. It just reinforces the idea that Porto is a poorer version of Barcelona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not a problem, you get to see lots of good acts in a much calmer and great festival site. Problem is Barcelona is pretty weak this year, and the leftovers are weak. Losing Bjork and getting Lorde is such a boring choice, and I think Lorde is a pretty good gig (I've seen her once). Not managing to get Thom Yorke too. But Lorde and hip-hop guys will manage to sell this out easily, so financially its good for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananaa52 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 well, people will always complain. the top headliners from barcelona were already confirmed in other festivals, and this year NPS has almost everything from the others. this just shows how less exciting are this year's primaveras for me I could only ask Spiritualized, Charlote gainsbourg or Jane Birkin and maybe Alex G, Oneohtrix Point Never and Jlin (but i think we have good things for eletronic) and i think it is very diverse in terms of genres, porto always lacked some hip hop or something. this year lacks metal, but barcelona lacks too.

I think the last two years of NPS have been much weaker than the early editions. I agree the site is great. Perhaps the problem is that we were so spoilt with the quality of the first editions.

Suggestives Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Superb line-up .. as usual. Will be my third visit and really looking forward to it.

visdave34 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 There might not be a lot of surprises, but it still seems like a very strong lineup to me. There is no day split yet, is there? Really curious who play on the Thursday, hoping a few extra names will be shared with Best Kept Secret festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Ok, I was too quick to judge and on reflection it is a strong lineup. I felt deliberately misled by the comment made by Gabi about Porto going its own way this year which prompted me to buy a ticket (as I'm going to Barcelona already) - was pretty annoyed to see nothing new.
