I don’t think there could be a more fitting announcement than if they went and announced Tame Impala today off the back of their new single “Patience”.

Agreed.

It's Friday and I've buried my hopes.

Bye guys. 

[Callum Thornhill]

Perhaps Massive Attack were due to be announced, but after they cancelled the US tour they are holding back on the announcement?

I was meant to catch 'em at Mad Cool last year but they bailed last minute.

Also - Tame Impala new music is a possibility, but are they headliner material for Nos? They weren't THAT high up at Mad Cool last year.

Can’t wait for the 5000th “It’s Friday I’m in love!” Post!!!!

Ridiculous..

[pryce]

again they have announced headliners twice in the last 6 or 7 years later than this date, so its more peoples impatience than the festival in trouble.

Tame Impala was actually a headliner that day but since Pearl Jam asked for only themselves to be written as headliner, they put Tame Impala to second line. They still  have a chance to headline Nos Alive though.

I think Massive Attack won't do Nos.

TI is a possibility.

oh yes, but as a festival goer I WANT MORE

[diogozsz]

The Black Keys and Tame Impala could headline Friday.

I don't know if Tame Impala will headline, as it looks as if MC are waiting for the same headliner, and Tame Impala played there last year.

Yeah but did you have by then only two man stage acts (with only one of them being relevant)? I'm not bothered by a lack of a headliner at this point but people seem to be forgetting that we're also only counting with a spanish band that most people won't care about and vampire weekend. 

I get that a headliner must have dropped out but why would that stop them from filling us in on who's playing before them? I'm lucky enough to not have other responsibilities but I'm sure many people have lost their patience and just gave up on booking a place to stay when attending NOS Alive.

To think that this festival is going through huge troubles is a bit too much, yeah, but IMO it isn't farfetched to think that they are not doing their best job to at least do some damage control, at all

Think Tame Impala is definitely realistic for NOS and Mad Cool. Florence and Foals too.

I'd be happy with tame impala and florence co headlining or flo just headlining

The new Flume mixtape has got me hoping he's there. Haven't checked to see if he's active though.

Not true, they headline Hangout Music Festival for exemple (and MO Pop). But you're right, definitely not headliners at NOS Alive! 

When i said that i was only thinking on the bigger festivals

Agree that mixtape is really good. At the moment only Lolla and Summer Sonic Japan in August.

I am starting to believe that Tame Impala will be a Barcelona exclusive this year, for Portugal/Spain landscape....

Usually an exclusive is announced as exclusive I think.

weren't they exclusive last year for mad cool? wouldn't expect them as an exclusive this year, also + what @alan_ts said

Sometimes they don't announce that.  For example  the last time Foo Fighters came to Nos Alive, then signed an exclusive deal with them, for 2 years without any other shows in Portugal (i was told by people with good connections in the music world that).  And i know  Nos Alive obligated THe Last Internatonale to cancel any other portuguese dates, last year, to be exclusive from them

I don't think that's the case with TI and PS though. It would be odd for them to accept exclusivity in spain for two years in a row and the cases you mentioned are only related to portugal only so who knows

Ok it has sense but it is related to "Portugal", not to "festivals". I hope you understand what I mean

Supposedly.  But the only truth we know is that the time passes and still there is no other date than Primavera Sound 

[young_contra]

I also know this might mean very little when it comes to contractual matters between bands and festivals, but kevin parker really likes to play here and I don't think he'd like to skip portugal (again, this might mean very little)

[kingcrawler]

Would Primavera not rather have Tame Impala for both Barcelona and Porto rather than book them as a Spanish exclusive? I suppose they could just be busy around Primavera Porto but I don't think they have that many festivals around that weekend.
