Red Day Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Agreed. It just seems too late now to add a big name headliner. It wouldn’t make any business sense and unlikely to add a surge in the sale of weekend tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were playing Doctor Music that weekend anyway and have headlined before, so they seem an obvious act to go to if Childish Gambino had pulled out. It does seem like someone has pulled out though, given they were able to add two acts from Doctor Music to the main stage that day and still don’t really seem to want to promote Vampire Weekend as a headliner. The Prodigy were going to headline another portuguese festival in August, EDP Vilar de Mouros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOS newbie Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 A few boring questions – Has anyone stayed in Costa Da Caparica during Nos Alive, as I was wondering how easy it is to travel back to there each night after Nos. Will I be able to stay till the end and still have time to catch the ferry across? And Is it then an easy (drunken) walk from Trafaria? Or is Uber the answer? more importantly – how much is a pint at Nos and is the Lager refreshingly cold? The lineup isn’t great for me but I can’t wait for next week. Sun, beach, cold beer (hopefully) , live music in a cracking atmosphere = heaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At busy times/busy bars they'll have a fair few already poured just sitting out, but if you go to a quieter bar that pulls them fresh it'll be lovely and cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clasher Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 This might have been posted before, but I wouldn't be surprised if they released the info two days into the festival - when will it be possible to exchange the tickets for wristbands, a day before the festival? Thursday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres always a queue, where you must wait more or less 1 hour for a taxi but its always funny there.. Our Taxidriver gave us his number and we can phone him and he was from the second day always within 20 minutes there, so if you talk youre perhaps also a lucky one.

Thanks for the information. i thought a taxi would probably be the only solution. Hopefully i'll get your driver from last year haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcrawler Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Clashing Primal Scream and Johnny Marr is very odd. Bit gutted about Robyn clashing with The Cure but relieved that there doesn't seem to be too many clashes on the Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewUnion Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Gossip going on at 1am, thought they'd have played before VW. Oh well, at least clashes are minimal for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

festivalguy97 Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 A lot of clashes, even small clashes, Primal with Johnny, Robyn with The Cure, Bon Iver with Idles and Thom with Smashing Pumpkins, basically all the the best artists, what a disaster, hope 2020 will come with a far better lineup and schedules.

I don't want to upset you any more but it seems like the acts on the Coreto stage play in between the Sagres acts, which would mean a 20 minute overlap between Idles and Bon Iver. I'm taking back what I said about Saturday not being as bad for clashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be tough to not have The Cure clashing with someone else. Personally, watching Robyn early would be pretty meh but yeah - Johnny and Primal is a bit of a dubious one specially considering their target audience. Will IDLES and Bon Iver be overlapping for 10 minutes? That's what I'm worried about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
