NOS Alive 2019

[Tremousse]

Even in September and October... I'm afraid to be a little bit disappointed if they only come back with The Black Keys... Realistically the lineup is super great but the wait was so long that my brain has already assimilated the whole excitement. 

I saw some guys campaigning on Twitter for Frank Turner at NOS Alive. It would be a good idea ???EditEdit : he's not available

I get that we are waiting for TBK but what exactly is stopping them from announcing other names

In 2017 they announced Royal Blood and some other great stuff in March, no panic

[DarthSaul]

On the 16th March last year the Thursday sold out. The Saturday had sold out on 5th December before that and then 3 day tickets sold out 7th December. 

12th March this year and... everything available. I know the lineup is weaker near enough objectively but this marketing method can't be helping as we've said a million times.

2018 was a strange year, there were more great headliners than smaller bands touring

If I could be bothered to scroll back far enough down their twitter I'd see how 2017 compares but it's a long old way. I do, however, remember that I booked my 3 day ticket in March for 2017 so it obviously wasn't sold out.

A french festival announced Sting for the 17th of July. Is he a NOS Alive type of act?

[alan_ts]

Aphex Twin for Home Festival Venice same weekend of Nos. 

It would be the best gift to me.

Now I'm going to be so mad if NOS Alive doesn't book Aphex.

I'm already mad, I'm repeatedly calling my wife to complain and now she hates Afx, Nos and me.

I think one Gallagher brother be added. Liam Gallagher playing BBK on the 11th July could possibly do the 12th at Nos and Noel playing Mad Cool the 11th also. No chance both will play Nos.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that.

There's still a Iberian peninsula-shaped space in Tame Impala's current schedule, they haven't confirmed a summer UK date and surely won't just do Glastonbury so suspect they could still be in the frame. Think Foals are feasible too.

In its current form the festival is extremely disappointing - it needs at least three or four heavyweight acts and can only guess they are being forced to hold back announcements because of artists' demands.

No way, he plays there on Friday 12th

I sing myself to sleep every night that the 12th will be composed by vampire weekend + foals + tame impala + the black keys

That would be really great at this point.

And now tickets costs 140eur, 3 months ago the price was 150eur. It's strange.

I never noticed before but NOS' website is pretty lazy with the lineup page being just a stuck on jpeg rather than a page where you can click on each band a la mad cool and most other festivals.

Electric Picnic announces first wave of acts tomorrow. Might add one or two to Nos Alive from that

If anyone was thinking about him, jon hopkins ruled out
