However Alvvays are in a festival in a boat curated by Belle and Sebastian between 8 and 12 August between Spain and Italy. Avi Buffalo are already at Green Man Fest Better Oblivion Community Center announced some european dates in their debut tour, but they are far from August. Let's see what will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_contra Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hopefully neither Foals or Tame Impala end up here NOS Alive's sake. I'd love something like Parquet Courts for the first day which is the only one I'm attending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAtti Smith , New Order and The National are obvious headliners. The only one i was doubtful was Father John Misty. However Green Man Fest proved that he is also an headliner. With that said, i doubt that Paredes de Coura will bring more headliner-type bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joaommaia Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I think those are the 4 headliners, because of the TV spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFullShaboo Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 This festival has really caught my attention! For people who have been previously, is there much to do in the surrounding area during the day? And do many British people attend the festival?

New instagram story by João Carvalho with a poster from 1999 edition of the festival. IS it a teaser ? From that card only 4 bands could come to the festival dEUS (hope not, since they will be doing solo shows already), Suede (really hope that is them, because i love their new album), Lamb and Mogwai.

Tigane Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Found this playlist made by the Director of the festival and noticed that Julia Jacklin (whoever she is) is on it, however she wasn't announced yet on the card https://open.spotify.com/user/j.carvalho/playlist/6lCW2A7wfrP0JquvWmlgpw?si=BDpRLaWFRkSQWc5WMBlF0Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatheauWillis Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Seen quite a few questions on here regarding hotels and I can share a Scottish perspective on my experience having attended the festival in 2017, I have my tickets for this year as well as the line up is ridiculous... First off the festival is amazing. It has a livelier atmosphere than most other festivals I've been to in Europe. In comparison to Primavera, Mad Cool, Glastonbury, Electric Picnic etc the main stage feels far more intimate due to the capacity and the stage being positioned at the bottom of a natural amphitheatre so you can get a great vantage point without any stress. They had a reusable cup scheme which I thought was great - as well as the best toilets I've ever seen at a festival. We booked an accommodation package in 2017 as it was dirt cheap and we all thought that we'd probably end up dying camping in Portuguese sun. We stayed at Lara Hotel located in Valenca, it was near enough to Vigo airport where we were arriving from and the town had a train station which could get us to Porto afterwards. In assuming that there would be some sort of shuttle bus or taxi service it seemed like a reasonable choice. Unfortunately there was no bus, so on night one we booked a taxi through the hotel reception and got to the festival which was no real hassle. The issue arose when coming home at night; we walked out to the road expecting there to be some sort of taxi rank or pick up point but there was literally nothing. Fortunately the taxi had contacted me through Whatsapp earlier in the evening so I managed to message them and get picked up after an hour or so of waiting around. For the next three nights we had to prebook our travel with the driver to pick us up at a certain time (this was fine until Beach House ended up delaying their set for whatever reason and we missed 30 mins or so of them). Understandably it's a festival catered around camping and I reckon the camping experience undoubtedly adds to the whole vibe but for sure I would melt in the heat so it's simply a no go for me, ideally they probably should mention that transport could be problematic in the information that accompanies the hotel packages. We're staying at the same hotel again this year fully aware of the situation. My advice to anyone who plans on going would be that camping is undoubtedly the easier choice; however if you reckon it'll be too strenuous (like me) then check ahead to see if the hotel runs a shuttle service before booking a package or be prepared to prebook you travel arrangements with a taxi company each night. Hope that sheds a bit of light! Also props to @Tigane for being on fire with his detective work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that sheds a bit of light! Also props to @Tigane for being on fire with his detective work. I assumed pretty much everyone camped. I flew into Porto, took a taxi into town via a large branch of Decathlon by the airport to pick up camping stuff, then a coach to the fest. Was pretty easy. Remember there being lots of natural shade in the camping zone so we didn't feel the heat and they had showers and a great lake to swim in. It was nothing like the heat of a mid-Summer Spanish festival. Pretty much loved it though not quite enough choice (could do with one extra stage) and not much on late night. Portuguese people as friendly as they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
