NOS Alive 2019

[DarthSaul]

Well I saw Vampire Weekend on Saturday and they were on great form, unmissable at nos for sure. Also caught Honne on Sunday who were fun. Getting very excited for nos now my festival season has started!

I went to see Foals last night in Dundee. I’ve seen a lot on here suggesting they’re headline material. I wasn’t convinced until last night. Brilliant gig, great songs and could headline a mainstream festival with ease.

It is unfortunate that they didn't get to be confirmed here, understandably, but oh well. Through a pair of headphones one might really doubt their worth but when it comes to a live stage... totally different conversation

I'd rather see nothing, or even a random spanish act, than Travis Scott.

Tyler would be a dream.

They headlined Bilbao BBK when I went a few years back, so they seem to be about the right size for Nos (who shares a lot of acts obvs).

Cause Lovebox is rap, but yes Tyler The Creator too, I'd be surprised if it's a huge rap/rnb name like Jay-Z, Kanye, Beyoncé or Eminem... But if they want to sell out they need big things... Travis Scott was the first rap name who came in my mind but yes Tyler is definitely possible if his calendar allows it

Shame re the stage times - was hoping to know the lie of the land before I got to Glasto (end of June)!

I was genuinely surprised just how good they were.  Truly excellent gig

The last day of 2018 was superb, the Nos Stage was better than this year´s all 3 days combined, Sagres Stage also was superb last year, much better than this year, funny how this edition´s tickets still cost 150 euros but the quality and the quantity dropped a lot this year, maybe with all the album releases this year 2020 can be better.

With this new album (Igor) he can play more mainstream and alternative festivals like Nos Alive, would love to see him but idk, he already played here in Portugal last year and he must be very expensive to book.

Primal Scream are coming up on 6Music - this seems to bode well for a hits set at NOS:

"Primal Scream take over the BBC's Maida Vale studios for a very special live session. The band will be playing tracks from their new 'Singles' album, so we're expecting bangers. Over the past thirty years (no really) the band have rioted between rock and rave, creating some of the most memorable tracks of a generation."

Was thinking of possibly heading to this last minute as I've got shit loads of holiday at work, just checked flights, left it far too late haha.

Mee too (even if they are free only on 13 and that day Prophets Of Rage will play Mad Cool). 

The sad emoticon was referred to the fact they announced only stage splits and no new (big) surprises.

Didn't think that a festival would have to tease stage splits announcements  but oh well, at least they are vocal

Perry Farrell announced for the 12th

Best act of that day, best announcement since last year probably 

[jambom]

Looks like all the recent announcements are for acts that came in the 2nd wave of Mad Cool acts a while back. Nice to know they are still announcing, but 1/2 more decent acts would really bring the festival up to scratch in my eyes!

[jplewes]

Does he play Jane's Addiciton tunes? See this announcement coincides with a new album announcement for next month.
