young_contra Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'm quite enjoying not having anything announced instead of a lame clubbing act 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joaommaia Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Looking at the last years, I predict between 4 and 7 names to be announced for NOS Stage. 5 or 6 per day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_contra Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Besides The Libertines, and also taking in consideration only the last few years, how far into a year were we when we got the last headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Day Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Do we know if any of those announced for the Friday and Saturday are the headliners? Cure obviously are but are Smashing Pumpkins classed as such. I’m doubting they are but who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I would love for this to be true it seems like a stupid business tactic to sell tickets vs your competition by not announcing any headliners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_contra Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 If Bon Iver and TSP aren't co-headlining, at least TSP will co-headline with someone. I believe, however, that the first scenario is what is upon us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidDream Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Bon Iver is headlining festivals like All Points East, Best Kept Secret, Northside. Of course these are a bit smaller than NOS, but I think it shows it's a bit similar to The National in 2018. Given that 2019 is a weaker year in general, Bon Iver is likely upgraded from a strong sub to a co-head. He's also high up at Mad Cool, but missing a co-head, the head of NOS Saturday we reckon.

clasher Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 TSP and Bon Iver are most likely co-heads with the Chems a closing act I suppose. Add to that a very good Sagres with Thom Yorke and Idles and I'd say this year's strategy is a well balanced line-up with solid-but-not-spectacular heads. Mind you, there's still space on the main stage which could potentially go to a decently sized name like Iggy or Noel, for example (or to La MODA if we're pessimists). If the last day is anything to go by, we'll be alright. I'm still counting on them not missing out on The Strokes without someone who's not Florence ready.

I'm just asking for Tame Impala and Foals on the same day at this point, that'd make up for not having that big of an headliner Edited February 5, 2019 by young_contra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
