NOS Alive 2019

If a name is announced tomorrow I'll throw a party

This waiting has become irritating. 

 

[Tigane]

And it seems another day with no new names....

Apologies if these are dumb questions, but is it like other European festivals where bands start and finish much later? First band I want to see is Weezer, I'm presuming they won't be on until about 8? Looking at booking flights, but don't want to land too late in the day but don't want to get 6am flights either. 

Who is closing on the Saturday because I've seen Bon Iver ahead of the Pumpkins on one poster but the official website poster has the Pumpkins ahead? Also if it is SP are they going to clash with the Chemical Brothers?

@arcuse made this, really accurate and it could be close to reality. 

TSP and Chems won't clash, they are both on main.

Yes, the bands start and finish later. As said, those two can't clash. Usually with European festivals/this festival, the dance act will go on later, even if they aren't the biggest act on the bill. So the Chems will be on last.

I think the main stage finishes about 1am then the smaller ones go on until 4am or 5am. Check here:

I've been thinking after seeing them do a gig at the Pyramids in Egypt over the weekend and a Japanese festival lined up in August, could the RHCP be the final headliner? The band members have said that a new album is due this year, and they are very much a festival band, likely to do a mini-festival tour to create hype for it. Maybe they're the band Mad Cool, Open'er and Nos Alive are holding out for...

They have been ruled out of MC by a trusted user on the spanish forums, I believe

[Hannah990]

I’m getting so frustrated haha.

 

Anyone know if this has been the norm in previous years? I just can’t think what they’re waiting for.

Ruled out in MC.

I'm probably the only one not bothered about this other headliner haha. £119 for The Cure, SP,  Weezer, Thom Yorke, Chemical Brothers, Vampire Weekend, Hot Chip, RBCF is fine by me. Much better than anything in the UK this summer too.

The extra headliner is just a bonus now. Of course if it was Neil Young, I'd self combust. Just hope it isn't a Gallagher, Coldplay or anything Radio 1 play.

I'm in the same camp. Now I've paid for my flight, and I don't have to 'worry' about it getting more expensive, I'm pretty much all good. Agreed that Neil Young would be optimum!

You know! Neil Young would be lovely

I think Twilight Sad will be playing 2 solo shows in Portugal so Id rule them out (a smaller concert/event organization's leader teased them)

[moz4pm]

All the comments on their social media are getting angry and frustrated. Playing a really risky game.
