My fav part is how they speak about Jorja Smith entirely as if she is a he

Wow... this bit of information is the biggest progress we've had since Gossip were announced

Edit: really like their new website tbh, the radio is also a nice addition

Primal Scream being announced? Although, to be fair, they probably still aren't listed on the website!

When you click H.E.R you get a nice little biography about her. Try Vampire Weekend or Tash Sultana or a bunch of others and you get an error ?

Seems they've already discussed setlists with The Cure too ?

'The Cure will play more than 2 hours of music, with an alignment designed by its extensive music catalogue, which includes international successes such as “Boys Don’t Cry”, “Close To Me”, “Just Like Heaven”, “Lovesong” and “Friday I’m In Love”. The Concert will also feature some of the favorite themes of the unconditional fans, such as “A Forest”, “Push”, “Pictures Of You”, “From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea” and “the End Of The World”, as well as some surprises.'

Slightly shorter version of this I imagine.

oh yes I forgot about them, my bad

[festivalguy97]

If they announced Bon Iver on Friday coheadlining with Vampire Weekend instead of Saturday I think that people would like this lineup even more, I mean friday must be the weekest day of Nos Alive in recent years.

Now just announce Morrissey on the same day and we have a headliner ?

[stylishkids]

Gladly take Johnny Marr. Especially for the 12th. Now on 3 acts I want to see that day ?

Hopefully we’ll have a couple more next week

[Red Day]

At last. A quality addition as well. Johnny Marr is excellent live

Please trade him with izal for the main stage wtf

[DarthSaul]

More like Johnny Meh am I right? 

Just kidding, happy you guys like him. Not my ideal announcement but at least I've not seen him before, variety is the spice of life and that.

Agreed. Tent will be brilliant but suspect very busy

[Yokai]

One of the best gigs I watched in the last years.

Awesome addition

Honestly, he’s brilliant live. 

[young_contra]

Are his sets original material heavy or lots of covers? 

[moz4pm]

I saw him do a show in Manchester Arena way back in 2006, he puts on a great show and does really good renditions of How Soon is Now and There is a light that never goes out, I've seen Morrissey ten times but Marr performs the songs better. His voice goes very well with the music.

I would say 60% original material, 40% The Smiths covers. 

His original material is pretty good tbh, but people go crazy with The Smiths covers, specially Bigmouth Strikes Again, How Soon is Now and There is a Light That Never Goes Out (one of my favorite songs).

Unfortunatelly, looking at the last setlists, I doubt he will play anything from The Messenger, that was a good album.

This is a typical Marr festival setlist (Fuji Rock 2018)

[Yokai]

More like 75% original, 25% covers then

Realistically I won't get round to listening to his original stuff but I could have a good time listening to the odd Smiths tune for an hour or so!

I'm a dreamer, I'm hoping for a multiple announcement today ❤️

 

[festivalguy97]

So one of the Gallagher brothers will be Nos Alive´s next announcement?

Also Vince Staples looks like a good addition by looking at his dates.

Crystal Fighters??

If you'd consider this a serious option, I'd say only Noel Gallagher seems likely. Liam could only do the 12th and than has four gigs in four different countries. Noel only has Mad Cool on the 11th. 

Actually, Noel playing main stage on the 12th would make perfect sense. But again: why the hell wait so long? (Very though (last-minute) negotiations?)
