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.

this is the only place in which there are many the strokes fans, they are acclaimed and requested in every topic but outside of here they din't really seem praised

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

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.

@Ken19 I read that Nine Inch Nails at Hellfest will be a European exclusive show. Do you possibly have any information whether that is true or not? Of course you don't have to confirm where else they would be playing, but I'd really like to know if it's just Hellfest or not.

I second that.
