It has a longer interval as 2-3 weeks after 6 December is Christmas and you'd have to be a marketing idiot to announce then.

Two years ago they announced the lineup on December 21st so announcing the lineup this week wouldn't be a "marketing idiot" strategy. Since they have already bands confirmed (like GBV who confitmed themselves) I don't know why they're taking so long.

Gosh you're right and I stand corrected. Sort of...

Whoever decided to release the full lineup on December 21st needs to be medically examined. You want a huge surge of people spending their money when they see the full lineup. 

People are distracted by Christmas and don't have much money on December 21st.

Maybe they learned their lesson.

Artists are being added to the facebook event that the fake "fan" page created. Modeselektor were either added by the page OR added their event to their schedule and Rosalía added by herself the event. This might mean we are really close to the lineup announcement.

Either way... it kind of bothers me how this fake event exists

Where did she post this tho?

Hmm, I see now that it was created by a Brazilian fan club (followed by Rosalia’s official twitter though). Caught my eye because We Love Green retweeted it. Not an official self-confirmation then, but seems nailed on nonetheless.

bonaroo is one week after and has some interesting names from barcelona. doesnt mean they are excluded from porto though

Maybe we should start excluding the names who are in both Governors Ball and Bonnaroo. Those names might be doing a U.S. run right after Barcelona. Also, the names who are part of the Bonnaroo lineup but AREN'T going to Governors Ball seem very likely for Porto.

Was there any official word on whether it was this week or next, ive seen people say both on here? If not, two self confirmations today should hopefully confirm that. Really hope tame impala do the Friday or Saturday and a day ticket will be on the cards.

Since we still have no teasers, I think we're getting one this week and the full lineup the next week.

The festival's main organizer said that the lineup would be announced by this month's second week but maybe it was just a strong guess. Either way, by next week we should have it, at the very least. Quite the patient wait this has been...

Would make sense, I didn’t know whether there were normally teasers or not, Primavera Portos never been on my radar until we’ve ended up being there at the same time this year anyway!

I know you’ve said you’ve been before, would you recommend it, in terms of organisation, stages etc? Looking forward to seeing the line hopefully theres a day with going to, maybe even Friday and Saturday.

I'll try to be as in depth as I possibly can be.

I've attended this festival every year since 2015 and will continue to do so, blindly buying its 3-day pass as soon as I'm able to. I have no festival experiences whatsoever outside of Portugal, so do take that in consideration. Having said that, this puts any other festival in this country to shame. It's extremely well organized, its acts' timelines are usually super friendly to those who want to catch a lot in a single day (although you'll obviously have some clashes here and there, that's to be expected).

The setting is beautifully chill and breathable, if you will. You'll probably only feel like you're in an overcrowded place when you're queuing for drinks late at night but that's as normal as it gets. I have noticed that throughout the years it has been feeling just a tad bit more crowded but nowhere near to the point where it bothers you. 

There's not a single bad stage, aside from one that they introduced last year that wasn't that well received from what I've heard (where that Sigur Ros experience thing would've taken place) and in all of them you'll be able to get a spot from which you have a good view to what's happening. I've never had an issue with the main stage, which I find to be very competent. I do not like the current location of the second most important stage which has left its grass for a concrete setting. It's bearable, although it sort of kills the unique vibe that it had going. Besides the usual hardcore fans for whatever artist you may try to get a spot near the stage, it's absurd how easy it is for you to place yourself near the front row.

Food wise, you'll have plenty to choose from. It can get just a little bit messy at night so I'd have my dinner in advance just so it's all 100% carefree. There's also a lot of tiny little shops, most are from local city shops or just DIY stuff that people make and sell there. 

Considering the amount of artists you'll be able to see and how peaceful the location is, this festival is a gem and a bargain. I'm able to give more info, just specify whatever you'd like to know ;)

Thank you, that’s all good to know! Me and a friend are there Friday to Monday for the Nations League, so depending how England do we’ll either be in Porto all three nights or Porto Friday/Saturday and Guimaraes Sunday. With that in mind we probably won’t do both Friday and Saturday at the festival because even if we are in Porto Sunday it’ll hopefully be with match tickets, so we’ll want one of the days to spend in Porto itself I guess. 

I have noticed the €60-65 day tickets and I think we’ll snap one up as soon as the line up gets announced, providing there’s a day worth going to. 

One thing that did seem odd, and you may not know seeing as you buy 3 day passes, the single day passes I don’t select a day, apparently I can select any day upto a month after the line ups been announced? That’s seems like a risky tactic to me, because 80% of day tickets could all choose the same day if one is notably better? 

Excited to see who’s there, I know Interpol and Tame Impala have been mentioned, but I think so long as one of Fri/Sat has at least one name we’re bothered about seeing we’ll go, seems a shame not to if we’re there anyway.

I think you might be looking at a specific type of tickets (Fnac, perhaps?). That might be the only option as of now but whenever the whole lineup is revealed you'll be able to buy a day ticket just as you'd normally do.

Wasn't the lineup supposed to be announced like a week ago?

That was a misunderstanding/misleading tip from the festival's main organizer. It is not farfetched to expect a lineup this week but what is the most likely scenario is us merely getting a teaser this week (which, at this point... why bother? just release the whole thing, it's been way too long, there's no need to tease it if you're going to take another week to release it)

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
