Looking to stay in Cascais or Estoril for the beach as been to Lisbon a few times before, do the trains run all night back to Cascais and if so how frequent are they? I imagine taxi's back to Cascais after the festival will be expensive and have long queues. 

Thanks!

Can't comment on the trains at night but in terms of taxi's we used Uber each night and managed to get one pretty quickly and didn't find it to be too expensive!

When I've been there, I always took the train to Cais do Sodré (Lisbon city center) and it was crowdy but ok.

I imagine the ones to Cascais should be less crowdy.

Regarding the prices: they sell combo tickets festival+train on the official site.

I stayed about an hours walk from the festival site last year but we got those electric uber bikes back and forth everyday. Only took us 15 mins on them. Great fun and no exercise required but a little dangerous when you're wobbly from the nights festivities! 😁

We're going to be in Lisbon the same time as this with our daughter who will be 5 and a half.

It says children under 6 won't be permitted, does anyone know how likely it is they will check her ID etc? We're desperate to go for a day but don't want to spend 200 quid if we'll just be turned away. Any advice from those who have been before and know the set up etc. would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Just bought tickets for NOS, how many names do we expect on the wednesday? Last year it was 35-40 artists per day

[ababa]

Thanks all.

Fontaines DC, one of the only bands I wanted to see this year put right in the festival with the worst line up on the worst day.

What are the chances Tame Impala still come? It seems to be the only possibility for them in Portugal during Summer...

Probably there was no space enough on the snippet...I can't see Billie not headlining. 

[Hailhail]

What about FNM? Is not a headliner?

This year will be my first time at NOS, for those who have been before, how big are the grounds? I took a look at a map online and it looks rather small,, not that I'm used to gigantic festivals, but does it get quite crowded, how are the queues etc?

 

Cheers

The worst thing about the grounds is how in between the main two stages they have put third third biggest stage in the direction that the crowd blocks the walkway, so sometimes getting between the two main stages can take ages in big crowds. Other than that, bar queues are usually okay and it feels a nice size

There is another way to get to the second stage without going past the third stage. You can cut down past the comedy stage, it's further to walk but it cuts out the mad crowds at peak times.

True though at peak times this was nearly as bad and also I think the amount of people going into the mens toilets would mean this way was partially blocked with people. Still I dont think I missed anyone for queuing so no problems!

Never heard of him and on my first listen i wont be listening to him !

[LaurentExpos]

When do we expect the full line-up announcement?

[OJ_Ketchup]

Moses Sumney really reminds me of FKA Twigs, does anyone know if he does 'full performances' (dance / scenography etc) on stage as well ?

I personally love both as live acts but no, Moses doesn't have "full performances" like twigs. His voice is AMAZING live though.
