Agreed. The ultimate festival band in terms of party atmosphere

[young_contra]

I'm quite enjoying not having anything announced instead of a lame clubbing act

Just keep living in the hope headliners are something decent that's yet to announce their summer gigs.  I'm going to be mightily disappointed if it turns out to be the likes of FATM.   

I swear, at first sight I read Florence Against the Machine

[joaommaia]

Looking at the last years, I predict between 4 and 7 names to be announced for NOS Stage. 5 or 6 per day...

[young_contra]

Besides The Libertines, and also taking in consideration only the last few years, how far into a year were we when we got the last headliner?

Announcing Arcade Fire 5 days after Radiohead... 2016 was WILD.

Do we know if any of those announced for the Friday and Saturday are the headliners? Cure obviously are but are Smashing Pumpkins classed as such. I’m doubting they are but who knows

Co-headlining with Bon Iver, I think.

As far as I know only The Cure have been advertised as headliners. 

However - as InMusic people will undoubtedly lecture you - "everyone is a headliner for someone" ?

As much as I would love for this to be true it seems like a stupid business tactic to sell tickets vs your competition by not announcing any headliners

[young_contra]

If Bon Iver and TSP aren't co-headlining, at least TSP will co-headline with someone. I believe, however, that the first scenario is what is upon us

[StupidDream]

Bon Iver is headlining festivals like All Points East, Best Kept Secret, Northside. Of course these are a bit smaller than NOS, but I think it shows it's a bit similar to The National in 2018. Given that 2019 is a weaker year in general, Bon Iver is likely upgraded from a strong sub to a co-head. He's also high up at Mad Cool, but missing a co-head, the head of NOS Saturday we reckon.

TSP and Bon Iver are most likely co-heads with the Chems a closing act I suppose. Add to that a very good Sagres with Thom Yorke and Idles and I'd say this year's strategy is a well balanced line-up with solid-but-not-spectacular heads.

Mind you, there's still space on the main stage which could potentially go to a decently sized name like Iggy or Noel, for example (or to La MODA if we're pessimists). 

If the last day is anything to go by, we'll be alright. I'm still counting on them not missing out on The Strokes without someone who's not Florence ready.

I'm just asking for Tame Impala and Foals on the same day at this point, that'd make up for not having that big of an headliner

Hopefully by the end of the week we'll have something...

My expectations are very low so I will throw a party even if they merely announce Foals

I would take Foals to be fair with what we've got so far

[jplewes]

I'd be pretty happy with Foals, I don't think that would be bad at all

[Tremousse]

We can get better! Foals is fantastic on stage, but not a huge headliner..

Expecting a new big name by Friday... or when Mad Cool reveal new names.
