Paredes de Coura 2019

[AlexTurnah]

Didn't see any topic created for this festival in the North of Portugal which happens in quite the beatiful scenario.

They just announced their first confirmation today: The National

Some shots from the river that runs along the camping site and the main stage.

It's a very charming festival and the Portuguese couldnt' be friendlier. Absolutely recommend.

Personally I find this festival to be a bit claustrophobic. It is, however, a great one for those who like to camp and are looking for a chiller experience. 

Lineup wise... I'm already sold. The National are my favorite band.

these last years it has become a bit overpopulated, and with that a bit unconfortable at times, I agree.

other than that, alongside Nos Primavera, it is my favourite portuguese festival!

i think we may have New Order here, at least the director of the festival shared an Insta Story that seems like a clue to it

Amazing!! Shaping up nicely

[young_contra]

Indeed. I really dislike this festival but having New Order and my favourite band on it is giving me an itch that I have to scratch

[joaommaia]

This festival is like going to therapy. I don't like to camp, so next year I will have to find a better solution. 

The line-up is looking good for now. Last year I went to like 20 concerts, multiple bands that I've never heard before, and was really worth it.

Why exactly do you dislike this festival? Because the lineup and the festival site seem pretty great.

It's just not my thing. It's a bit too dirty for what I'm used to, not a lot of acommodation options besides camping (which I'm not very fond of), the secondary stage is pretty meh. Do not misread my words though, I totally get why people like this festival and I think its praise is justified, it's just that FOR ME it doesn't really shine that much

I'm already sold on this lineup, and there's probably one or two more surprises coming its way.

You know some rumor, for those surprises, or it is just a feeling?

I know nothing. But looking at the the names confirmed and the slots remaining I'd say there's at least a couple of subs left.

Have never been to this one. but am tempted with the great line up already announced.  If you didn't want to camp can anyone tell me if there are any towns or hotels etc nearby that it's possible to stay in?  Thanks.
