Novas batidas, lisbon festival

Thanks. 

Are there some parties in Lisbon during Nos? 

I've checked on Resident Advisor from past years and didn't find anything relevant...

Unfortunately I can't help you as I have no clue! I'm from Portugal but not from Lisbon... But I think that in these cases you're better off checking Facebook events as an alternative to RA

where

THE FUCK

are the announcements

[JustWanted2Be1OfTheStrokes]

IF we had a few acts from the electric picnic lineup who would you want? 

Personally I’d love The Strokes (although impossible for NOS), Flo and Hozier. 

Won’t have the 1975 as they are at super bock.

The Streets could be a good booking although not sure if they are well known in Portugal.

Echo and the Bunnymen , Miles Kane, Sam Fender, Metronomy & Jarvis Cocker I’m sure would be welcome filler acts?

Again not too sure if any of these could be a possibility for NOS but considering how quiet the festival has been we can all dream and speculate ...

Mitski too.

On my side I'd take immediately James Blake, Four Tet, The Streets, Yves Tumor.

I think The Streets are the only ones that you can't rule out

Nos Primavera and Nos Alive never share acts (even the smaller ones)?

Can't recall that happening 

[JustWanted2Be1OfTheStrokes]

What’s the possibility of Echo & The Bunnymen? 80s New Wave band could slot in nicely on The Cures day?

Why are The Strokes impossible for NOS?

Aren't they playing the Friday at BBK, so the Thursday and Saturday at NOS are still possibilities?

Because of the Voidz playing both too.

As Julian Casablancas other band The Voidz are playing twice during this period. So would be 5 sets over 3 days or something. I suppose not impossible but definitely not probable

They'd be a great addition, would like to see both them and Primal Scream on the line up.

Damn I was really hoping for The Strokes! Surely we will get an announcement this week?

The only certain things are death, taxes and no Nos announcement.

100% decided to attend the second and third day of this festival. Was originally wanting to go to the first one but its main stage acts turned out to be so "eh" that I'll stick with Thom Yorke and "you-can-never-go-wrong-with" IDLES. It'll be my third time seeing them!

'Eh' Are you high? The first day mainstage has The Cure and Weezer.

The Cure are literally the only band that interest me on that stage. I've seen Linda Martini 3 times, couldn't care less about Ornatos Violeta even though I know that they're relevant here and Weezer are to me just a sad excuse of a band and that's putting it lightly - they're almost a joke to me. 

I'd like to see Sharon Van Etten, Hot Chip and Robyn but they're not enough to get me on that venue

[Tremousse]

The new Chemical Brothers makes my brain explode

And now tickets costs 140eur, 3 months ago the price was 150eur. It's strange.

Change in the rate of value added tax (13% to 6%).

That's legitimately the most ridiculous music opinion I've ever come across.

Why downvote me for an opinion though? It literally just is an opinion on a band's music... I'm not sure how it is ridiculous as I simply find them to be lacking any sort of artistic integrity and just put out albums that are as bland as it gets. They sound like a parody of themselves with a mixture of pop/radio crap that barely hits any spot. I get that you might like them but don't make it look like it is so out of the norm nowadays for someone to NOT like them. I don't even like their Blue album even though I can recognize its value whereas I don't recognize any value in what they're doing now but it doesn't mean I won't expect someone to feel the opposite about them. 
 

And if that REALLY is the most ridiculous music opinion you've ever come across it must mean you really haven't heard much from other people's mouths
