Tweet seems to suggest UK news. 

It is UK news but it may mean there is no embargo and allow NOS to release news soon after if they were on the lineup?

[Daniel Ferreira]

There are 7 or 8 bands to be announced.

Ja vi que andam por aqui alguns tugas no meu ponto de vista acho q falta 7 a 8 bandas mas o dia do meio tem que ser mesmo muito forte se nao esta complicado isto ...

With this lack of options, we'll probably have Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper performing A Star is Born's soundtrack.

Still better than The 1975/Travis Scott

To be fair though that would be the biggest booking they could get by a mile.

Now this is a NOS Stage placement I can get behind, if they're opening it up

That date fits in with heading to Portugal the following week.  Eddie Vedder supporting as well.  Be brilliant if he plays NOS

I understand and completely support the idea of a local band taking the first main stage spot. What I don't understand is a Spanish band on the main stage too (what seems to be the case). 

The Who seems more and more likely. I love it. Wouln't mind having both Eddie and Kaiser Chiefs too.

Fucking yes! 3 times in 4 days the last time. They're a pure rock band, mixing sub genres like post and hard rock, for example. The lyrics are beautiful too. André Henriques (their singer and songwriter) is very good. Obviously, he sings in Portuguese, unfortunately for you guys, but the instrumentals are also pretty good.

Try to listen to Olhos de Mongol, their first album.

Totally agree, having 5 spanish/portuguese bands at the mainstage is really bad, I support the idea that portuguese bands should open the main stage every day but not 2 bands in the same day, also 2 spanish bands at the main stage? Even spanish fans don´t really like that idea.

But I guess that this is one of the worst years in the past 10 years for european festivals, I mean there are only a few possible bookings for headliners and most of them already played here in Portugal, so blaming Nos Alive for not booking legendary bands is stupid, they have marketing teams so they know what they´re doing.

Is Pete Townshend still on the sex offenders register?

Thank you! That's exactly what I need!!

It was all a big mistake. Doing research apparently. ?shit

[Homer]

I found it pretty unconvincing too! Are we just supposed to forget? Smacked of 'I've got enough to buy a loophole from a solicitor' to me...

I have tickets and they quit with daily announcement, great.

Hopefully getting ready for a big one later this week? I think someone mentioned Thursday for the Mad Cool announcement, so could well be similar timescale for NOS. I expect some headline level news before the end of the week.
