I was wondering why The Strokes weren't announced for NOS Alive today....

 

What is confirmed in Mad Cool and Bilbao BBK usually comes NOS Alive and then there is always a headliner who has not been to any of the 2 festivals in Spain that comes to NOS Alive, however they were in the 2021 line-up and are on tour in 2022 , but the possibilities that may exist is that The Strokes only do June , or they do not want to do festivals or more likely it is that Alive 's organization will keep the suspense around their names since they are neither in Mad Cool nor in Bilbao... but there are few Strokes fans in Portugal.

Do the Strokes in Portugal have fans? even today I read Ken saying that he sold little to the Strokes in Portugal.

I'd like to hear some news from Roskilde and Open'e because they need to fill a few open headliner spots too.

There should be at least 1 larger name that we currently don't know yet....

Or I am completely wrong and Foo Fighters will close RW on sunday 😄

True story, outside communities like this they are not that popular. Except in the UK and Primavera, where they will exactly have the crowd they need.
BKS had the same problem, they didn’t sell enough tickets, and they are very expensive. 
 

When they were announced for Werchter, I’ve heard and read a lot of the same comments: who are they? Never heard of them… Where are bands like Foo Fighters?

What a day that was, when they announced The Strokes. Remember them teasing towards 12:51. Dream come true to finally have them at Werchter. This is it. 

The reactions on the announcement were all really great too, actually.

Hope it happens... Someday.

When they came to Sziget in 2012 the only people who watched them were British as well

As far as I know most of European promoters weren't happy about that tour - the band was expensive and asked for a headliner place, while in the end the crowds at their shows were too small for headliners (except for FIB, guess why 🙂).

Strange… I saw her 5-6 times until then. But it was the least impressive show. And there was totally no crowd.
 

The album she was touring didn't transfer well to a big festival set up.  Much more of a intimate sounding album, wonderful serlist though.

Can't really see bjork playing another mainstream festival, apart from the likes of roskilde/Glastonbury/primavera.

From HellFest line-up I'd take NIN, FnM, Rise Against, Gary Clark Jr , Rival Sons and Myles Kennedy in a heartbeat. I know not all of them will appear on our bill (Graspop needs bands too) but first four would be my dream come true 😄

Put Royal Blood before Pearl Jam, remove Imagine Dragons and put TOP in their place and it looks somewhat realistic.

Yeah this will never happen: Faith No More too low, The War On Drugs and Royal Blood way too low. But if, I wouldn´t complain.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
