I've had a listen to them this week after seeing a few posts on here raving about them and I like what I hear. I'll definitely be watching.

Ive seen them live twice and even got to interview them, theyre seriously one of the best acts around right now. The second time I watched them it was a sweaty beauty to behold, IMO the second best confirmation for the third day

This all well and good but now you're going to have to get pissed whilst hearing Tom Walker wailing in the background ??

Still better than James Blake

Sorry, but... who is Tom Walker?

honestly thought they were just advertising a previous confirmed act, there are too many same-y white acoustic looking dudes this year

[young_contra]

how come these guys never update their lineup on their website???? its like they want to make it harder for themselves to be approachable

 

edit: i cant even check whos playing on what stage

Usually there's music along with the drink, but this will be an exclusive sangria act!

I'm worried they'll do something stupid like putting Idles on late at night against Bon Iver or Chemical Brothers.

Hopefully they dont do the same with thom yorke

Last day is closed or Main Stage?! I think there are only 3 names left for the Main Stage.

Tom Walker had been waiting for a while, I knew him back in the days when he was doing a lot of publishing on the Instagram.

I just hope we have at least a good schedule and good weather.

I think their festival concert will be around 50mins/1hr so they'll get an early slot (this is what I hope).

Rest easy, IDLES have two shows on the same day, the other one is in Ireland at 8 PM.

Yeah, sorry for the mixup, Idles are at NOS on the 13th according to the poster, so this is probably obviously wrong. Can't believe I fell for it  I did remember something about them doing multiple gigs on the same day, but Ireland to Portugal seems... much

Noone today then...  I saw Crystal Fighters last night, so much fun as always. Still praying they're at nos ?

Sooo with a Mad Cool announcement next week, what are we expecting?

Nothing as usual. 

 

I'm joking, I think we'll get the almost the same (huge?) things of MC. 

 

From the new names I'd rule out Miley Cyrus sincd she's been announced for Primavera Sound.

Do you guys reckon the MC announcement will push Nos to release some big acts?

 

my dreams of tame impala / foals are fading by the minute

[Chinaski_]

Hopefully this Mad Cool announcement on Thursday gives us something decent. Bored of waiting now.

Some people made a few points here about Foals and they do seem to be very spot on so I wouldn't count that much on them, unfortunately

I´ve heard that Nos´s ticket sales are a disaster, and I don´t think that Tame Impala will change that but I guess they´ll still make a good money with the festival.

where'd you hear that from? I wouldn't expect a DISASTER but they must be the worst in the past years. but yeah, even if the festival doesn't warrant them a lot of money this promoter makes tons of money with concerts throughout the year so I'm sure they aren't too worried (I wouldn't be, at least - I'd be more worried in actually getting a PROPER communication team)

I have a friend that works for the Everything is New, he doesn´t have much acess to things like that but he said that the selling proportion of the tickets is the lowest one in years, there plenty of tickets to sell and he said that soon they´ll start to make giveaways where they´ll give tickets for free like last year but  in a bigger  proportion, but yeah they´ll still make a good money with the festival because there are a lot of Spanish and Portuguese bands that I think were very cheap.

No real surprise when they haven't announced the entire line up. I guess they thought they would sell loads purely on reputation alone.

As @Jaykc82 mentioned on Mad Cool's topic, looks like the raconteur's american tour dates rule them out
