Are they headliner material or sub?

Sub? 

[DarthSaul]

They're subbing the strokes in London 

[Rico_Pliskin]

To be fair at this rate with the slim pickings on offer I wouldn't be surprised if they were bumped up the billing. 

Co headliner status. 

[young_contra]

Personally (!!!) hope they don't end up here and head instead for Super Bock Super Rock but they do seem probable here

[young_contra]

We're ruling out TBK aren't we?

@Ken19supposed some page ago they will not be in Europe.

Ah man. I skimmed through and thought The Raconteurs had actually been announced. Way to get my hopes up. ?

Don't worry, at this point you can find here only guesswork, no announcements at all.

Hopefully some rock and less pop in the coming announcements! 

[mln]

There were strong rumors that Raconteurs will be playing in Europe only late May and early June this year. With these dates just announced, I think we can assume the rumors were pretty solid.

[alan_ts]

I'm a little bored on work so I've compared this year to 2018.

At the moment we're missing hypothetically:

Thu --> 1 main, 1 sagres

Fri --> 4 main, 3 sagres

Sat --> 1 main, 3 sagres

 

idk about Clubbing stage because this year it seems to be more international so it's unpredictable imo.

[DarthSaul]

So far I'm impressed with the clubbing stage, there's one or two I wouldn't have been surprised if were on Sagres.

Actually George Fitzgerald is very good.

Maybe The Raconteurs have some room for extra dates since Jack White cancelled a bunch of shows due to his recent allegations. I would personally rather them than another solo show by Jack White

Hi - can anyone explain the difference in the two transport packages? 

CP CASCAIS   or

CP + CARRIS

http://nosalive.com/en/tickets/

I have flights and hotels booked and am wanting to book the three day tickets (praying that more acts are announced) but not sure which transport option is best as they only detail it in portugeuse.  We will be staying in Santo Amaro which is between the festival and Lisbon centre.

thanks in advance

You don’t want Cascais as that’s the beach stop at the other end of the line. Am thinking that means you want Carris - but someone else should be able to confirm.

I wouldn't mind a solo show, but didn't he play last year?

Wait, can you not travel by bus/tube to the festival? Do you have to book travel with the ticket?

If youre staying at Lisboa camping there are regular shuttle buses to and from the festival

It's up to you, but there is an option with your ticket where you buy a travelcard as well. I didn't bother personally.

I'm staying at Empire Lisbon which is between Alameda and Anjos metro. I tried to find somewhere cheap and easy to get back to in the early hours.

Well I already got my ticket so it's too late for that now. ?

I tried to research bus times and stuff but it's hard to find times during when the festival will be on. Apologies as have not been to Lisbon, only Porto, so I assume they're similar.

We have two possibilities now:

-we can pray the God of Festivals

-we can start a massive spam on their social media

There is a train stop right outside the festival and the trains run fairly frequently through the night back to Lisbon. Sorry I can’t be more definite about where they stop but I stayed in a bungalow the only time I went and got the shuttle bus.
