Since the announcements are on fire I'm going off topic: 

a question to the locals, what can I do in Lisbon or nearby to satisfy the sportman inside me? Beside surf are there some other things to do (bicycle routes, excursions, good beaches where to swim...)?

(I've already been in Portugal so I already know the area a bit).

Very thanks in advance and finger crossed for an imminent announcement :D

Nos Alive loves to announce bands that play their own show first (in small/medium venues). We have the examples in this edition with Idles , Vetusta Morla and Xavier Rudd.

Will it happen again and they will announce Massive Attack for Nos ALive ?

With the shitshow (or rather a no-show) in the case of Mad Cool 18 - I doubt it.

Still, they are far better than most names still in contention. Also, far bigger than the names you mentioned as examples...

TRNSMT announced their line up last night which is on the Friday and Saturday of NOS along with the Sunday. Very poppy line up and probably rules out most of them for NOS. Sadly Flo wasn’t on the line up and I’ve a horrible feeling she’ll end up at NOS

That TRNSMT lineup is not my bag at all so not bothered about missing those. Like Fontaines DC but will be other chances to see them.

Agreed it's pretty brutal.  They seem to have changed strategy this year and aimed for a really young crowd.  I looked over the line up last night and there isn't one act I'd be bothered about seeing

Tash Sultana - looks the floodgates have officially opened!

Edit: just realised she was already announced - and quite high up too - I've just never heard of her. Still, Nos have just posted that they're excited to see her - so that's nice.

Tbf, looking at TRNSMT 2017 and 2018, I don't see much of a difference except for the headliners. Still only the occasional act I would really want to see. I think they'll need to diversify or they'll end up booking the same acts every other year. I guess Stormzy is a step in that direction. 

For NOS and Mad Cool, no announcements and not even some rumours... I'm probably waiting for a huge let down regarding that final headliner...

Tash has some great songs, have a listen. Jungle, Notion, Blackbird, Murder to the Mind. Looks a good performer too from videos. Also very likely to be at Glasto.

Think she's only that high up considering that there aren't a lot of acts announced for the same day that she is playing

Again... if it's florence we're getting, why wait SO LONG to announce her?

I've had a look at her tour dates and she plays BST in London on the Saturday.  I'm not sure she'd play the Friday in Lisbon and then London the next day.  The Thursday already has the Cure as headlining so it's unlikely she'd be on that date.   It's maybe more likely she won't be there.  As for who the other headliners are, I've no idea.  I was thinking maybe The Who, but I saw on one picture that their London show is a European exclusive.  Does seem strange they're taking so long to announce, as are Mad Cool

I'm hoping this festival could get out of its comfort zone for once and make multiple announcements on the same day when the time comes, just like Mad Cool did

Certainly hope so.  There's a few Scottish bands playing Mad Cool that I'd like to think might turn up at NOS.  Likes of Mogwai and The Twilight Sad quite often appear on the same bill as the Cure. There's also Teenage Fanclub.  From a personal point of view, I'd be pretty happy if they were announced.  Noel G is also at Mad Cool and would think he'll be at NOS as well.  New Twilight Sad album is brilliant.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
