NOS Alive 2020

So anyone here done rock n rio lisboa? I usually make the trip over from uk to lisbon every second year. Seems they usually push the boat out one year line up wise and then its not as great the next. This year I dont like the look of it and dont really want to wait about in hope just to be disappointed. Had managed to convince a good group of mates to make the trip with me this year too but I look like a laughing stock tryna get them over for Taylor swift and Billie ealish after telling them the weekends they'd missed with arcade fire, Radiohead, chem bros, pearl jam, jack white, nine inch nails, arctic monkeys, qotsa etc

Done last year: it is a great festival, especially for families, though it is good also to do with friends or solo. Trust me, cause we share the same age, so I can tell you that it is ok as a festival also for people like us, around 30 years old, but I remember day 2 was overcrowded of families with so many kids going to see Demi Lovato and Bruno Mars... So the same situation I bet will be at NOS alive with the current headliners ?

If you follow me on Instagram (eugenio_fg_) you can see some pics of rock in Rio I have shoot last year

Usually looks like a really cool thing at Bela Vista Park. I was interested in seeing Muse at RiR Lisbon in 2018 but felt I wanted to wait for the Simulation Theory Tour instead and also had tickets to see support act Haim somewhere else, while I also considered The Killers but saw them in Paris instead, and got the better anecdote in their battle of the bands with Nekfeu at Lollapalooza Paris. Shame. Vibe looked awesome for both of those.

Should've guessed that it'll be back for 2020, given its usually a once-in-two-years thing. Wonder if there's any early rumours as to who might play it.

I really want to try this festival but not with this lineup sadly.

Sucks, don't it? I wanted to go to NOS instead of Mad Cool in 2018 but MC ended up working better for me for my AM day-trip.

Considering that every year there are 6 artists at the main stage per day, with sometimes one day having only 5 artists we can now say that 1/3 of the main stage lineup is complete because we already have 6 artists on the main stage. And that doesn´t look very promising I don´t like almost any of them. And we are missing 1 or 2 portuguese bands so it  doens´t seem very promising till now.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
