diogozsz Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I still think we'll have a pretty solid headliner for the 13th that hasn't been announced yet. Btw The Chems will be closing the NOS Stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 12th, however, is a big incognito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAlex Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) I’m just happy Chems are on the Saturday not Friday otherwise we’d spend the next month debating if the headliners are The Cure, Chemical Brothers and Bon Iver/Smashing Pumpkins Edited December 12, 2018 by AAlex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_contra Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Besides The Strokes and RHCP, which names can we think of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewUnion Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Horses for courses and all that, but I would be quite disappointed with The Strokes and VERY disappointed with RHCP who I fell out with after an entirely uninspiring show on the Mothers Milk tour. I do understand that they are both big acts though, and big names are what we need right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joaommaia Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) For now, it's missing a type of band like Arctic Monkeys or Pearl Jam last year. The type of bands that you know they will sell out the festival "alone". Way too curious about the second day. Obviously, a band like The Strokes could change this.

ThisIsHappening Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 With the addition of TCB I’m definitely giving this strong consideration, since the Primavera Sound lineup is a big step down for me this year. For anyone that has been to both, how does this compare and is the VIP worth it? I love Porto itself, so looking forward to a return to Portugal.

To be honest, I went once to Nos Alive and I hated it, I only go there to see I band that I really like, the only good thing about Nos Alive is the lineup and the bands that are playing there, comparing it with Primavera Sound or even Porto´s Primavera Sound is like comparing Ferrari and a Fiat This year the lineup looks good, not strong enough but good, and Porto´s edition doesn´t seem to have very good artists from what I´m expecting so this I may be back to Nos Alive just because there are no better choices.

clasher Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) TSP/Bon Iver with the Chems closing is more than a decent day, I believe. I was kind of hoping for something much bigger for the day, but this is still - realistically - good. For Friday there's got to be something special, I reckon it would have been announced already if it was vampire weekend ft. post malone or some utter uninspiring crap not unlike that. On top of that Mogwai, Greta van Fleet and a couple of other Mad Cool acts, along with Tame Impala and another marvelous surprise or two and we have a top festival upon ourselves.

It might not all be to my taste but having Chemical Brothers, Bon Iver, The Smashing Pumpkins and Thom Yorke on the same day is a strong day. I can’t book it based on what’s there yet though, even if it’s just mid main stage acts I hope we get some more for Thursday/Friday before Christmas. NOS Alive is the one I’ve got my heart set on so I’m hoping the line up sways me, but to be honest there aren’t any European festivals elsewhere Im tempted by either at the minute.

festivalguy97 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 at this point I´m thinking: The Cure + Vampire Weekend and a very strong day at Sagres Stage for Thursday Florence + Tame Impala for the second day TSP + Bon Iver + TCB for the closing day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlos12345 Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I agree, there are 1-2 big names missing in July. But I can‘t really see RHCP. Yes, they have a tour down under. But I wouldn‘t expect them to come back to Europe for a festival tour before the album drops. And that‘s probably not coming before end of 2019. Raconteurs could co-headline?

Tremousse Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 What if TSP + Bon Iver + Chemical Brothers were not the only big things on 13th July? Nothing says that they'll headline... Chems will very probably close the fest, but concerning the others... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jplewes Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I am really happy with this - back on track for me after a couple of announcements that are okay but I'm not hyped about. Never seen them live before, should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
