No clue  who they are 🤨

"Easy Life are an English alternative group formed in 2017 in Leicester. In 2018 Easy Life signed to Island Records. They were placed second on BBC's annual music poll, Sound of 2020. Their EP, Junk Food, reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart a day after its release."

Good evening to you all, as the nos stage and sagres stage are almost complete, does anyone has just done a potential timetable of the festival? I expect in the next months they’ll release some other undercards to play at the beginning of each day on those stages, plus artists of Nos Clubbing and palco comèdia

The Coronavirus emergence is not so dangerous in Portugal as in other states, and the virus cannot survive to high temperatures. And we know that summer in Lisbon is very hot. Finally, the festival itself stated that is still on

I hope you'll be right but I think this is not the point.

A lot of festivals are regularly working at their 2020 edition but most of them would need months to be builded and for this reason they will be canceled or rescheduled (as Glastonbury did). And if this will happen (and it will), a lot of bands and artists will reschedule their European Tours. That's why I'm not so hopeful about all the early summer festivals.

Let's cross our fingers, keep ourselves safe and respect the rules and maybe we'll save this summer.

Agree, but Glastonbury is a much bigger festival than nos alive, so we cannot consider that to build the venue for the latter is needed the same time required for the former; and we should note also that Glastonbury is held a month before nos alive and in a much colder state 🇬🇧

So better not be afraid of that problem in this moment, we must see the situation in April or May and keep 🤞🏻

We should better look at the artists that are going to cancel their summer tour.

It's not a matter of how dangerous it is, it's a matter of how dangerous it can get and what efforts we possess in order to tackle that. No one really knows what is going to happen and under that uncertainty it is much easier to just avoid big risks. Even if Portugal's situation settles down, that doesn't mean others' will. Contact with other countries can be something that's just not worth having for a while. My 2c

Sure, I'm not comparing Alive with Glastonbury, I'm just telling that, because of the current situation and its consequencies on other big events like Glastonbury, Primavera, APE, Werchter, Pinkpop... A lot of bands will postpone their European tours booked for late spring / early summer.

All this to explain that, unfortunately, it isn't a Portugal-related question.

Let's just hope and keep safe ourselves and the other persons around us.

It might be the case Portugal has less issues than several other European nations, but I don't think bands are going to randomly play some and not others if some of their stops are unusable. And also Portugal might be difficult for some as you have to go through Spain if coming by bus from France, and there's little guarantee Spain is going to be ready anytime soon.

My instinct is festivals in August might have a chance but July ones are getting to the stage of being in peril if June events are being thrown by the wayside.

    • Maybe hopeful but get Knocked Loose on the Sunday opposite the legend. Similar to the slot Turnstile had in 2022. Would be absolutely phenomenal.
    • One of my personal favourite bands at the minute - MUNA. Was very surprised not to see them booked in 2023 with their last album but hopefully they'll be around next year. Very fun new album from these guys and, as aforementioned, another standout for me at Big Weekend.
    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today.
