xxialac Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Very impressive and it's a really charming festival and a friendly Portuguese crowd. Worth noting the National and Parcels are on the 'pre-day' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always seen it as any other day This is in my opinion the best festival lineup in Portugal for the next year so far Edited December 21, 2018 by young_contra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bananaa52 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 definitely one od the best line ups for 2019 in portugal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember but it's a tiny village so probably not unless booked very early. Camping was ok. There's a big decathlon near Porto airport to buy kit.

Is that a decent option? it is a small village, so i think houses and room to rent go full pretty fast. camping is not bad but last years it has been very crowded. another option is glamping, by Sleep em all, where you can rent some decent tents in a private part of the camping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyWednesday Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Hi, hoping for a bit of help with this festival, and whether it's possible to stay in a hotel and travel each day to the festival. Looking on festicket the hotel packages are for hotels about 15kms away and there's no info on whether they put on any shuttles or anything. The website isn't really helpful either, so I'm wondering if it's just not possible and it's camping only? Any help anyone could give would be much appreciated.

This is not going to be super helpful but here goes. I've been to this festival almost every year since 2012 (missed 2016). Always camped and I consider the camping site to be half of the festival's experience. It's in a pretty idylic scenario near a small village in the north of Portugal. I would strongly recommend going and camping. If you want a bit more comfort there are glamping options, but being near the river is priceless in my opinion. if you really want the hotel option it's a bit more complicated since it's a very small village. There areno big hotels in it and the small inns available are generally fully booked a year in advance by the festival's organization for personell and artists. There may be some airbn'b options still available. The only shuttles I know of go from the village to the festival site so this is also not very helpful for your situation. Consider camping or renting a car and driving to and from the festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually very helpful and pretty much in line with the conclusion we've come to ourselves after doing some digging. Festicket have two hotels as packages, but they are 15kms or so away from the site with no real way of getting to and from easily. We'd concluded to wait until the glamping options come along and go for that, however you mention about being near the river, is that not the case with the glamping? Are they set away from the river? Though I guess you can just walk down there though? Many thanks for the advice, really looking forward to heading here for the first time.

The glamping options are in the middle of the camping site so, it is near the river. I found this aerial view from all the camping site, and made write on it where is all the glamping options (it may be a bit different in 2019, because this picture was took in 2015, but the place for the glamping options is very similar. Hope it will help you From left to right (Glamping , River , Festival itself) Edited January 24, 2019 by Tigane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were released last week so we got in early. Really looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinivali Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Following up on the last few posts, anybody know if are there storage lockers anywhere on the festival site for leaving valuables etc? And what the shower access is like for people who don't feel quite rich enough to pay for glamping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinivali Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 + Connan Mockasin, Baltahazar, Boogarins and First Breath After Coma Well I've heard of Mockasin but that's about all I can say about those names. Apart from the fact that the last ones are probably fans of Explosions in the Sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rest of the camping site there are no storage lockers. For shower you have at least two options. The one in the camping site, that is separated between women and men, and up the hill in front of the river , but the water is cold. The second option i know is going to the locker rooms in the swimming pool in the village and you can take a hot shower by only 1 euro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
