It's so strange they still didn't announce any headliner, especially that all of the rumoured ones (RHCP, Billie, GnR) already have dates in Europe in 2023...

The newsletter in Portuguese says this:

"Sam Smith é a grande confirmação do dia 8 de julho no Palco NOS na 15ª edição do NOS Alive'23."

Sam Smith is the great confirmation of 8th July. I assume that this means he is the headliner.

No way Sam Smith is headlining this.

OK, but how you translate that sentence? None of the other confirmations has the word "grande/big".

Even for Black Keys only says "first confirmation". And for Lizzo says "Lizzo makes her big debut in Portugal on July 7".

Why put the word "grande" if he is not the headliner?

😂 lineup is so wack that it got us discussing who's headlining or who isn't more than who is yet to be confirmed

on the english nos page it just says 'Sam Smith is the new confirmation'

Is Sam Smith that big.....are they Strokes, Metallica, Imagine Dragons, Florence size in portugal?

No. That’s why I don’t believe Sam is headlining. I wouldn’t read too much into the choice of words used in the newsletter but that’s just me.

I agree on the not reading too much into what they say, they don't really put THAT much thought into it.  I don't know, however, if we should rule out them headlining. Regardless, even if they aren't headlining, we now know to expect a pop adjacent name for such a position in the lineup

EDIT: Nevermind. I thought they were on for Lizzo's day. Yeah, don't see them headlining

Lizzo, Sam and A N Other doesn't feel like a very NOS lineup to me

I mean, it's still NOS. It doesn't stray much from what they've had on their lineups as of late. But it obviously is lacking names

To be honest, I don't care if he will headline or not. But it seems that, for NOS Alive, words matter:

"Metallica e Imagine Dragons são as grandes novidades que se juntam ao cartaz de 2022, com o tão desejado regresso dos Da Weasel."

On that same date they announced many others.

From 2021: "A 365 dias da abertura de portas, o festival junta ao cartaz uma grande confirmação: no dia 8 de julho os Red Hot Chilli Peppers sobem ao placo NOS para uma atuação que promete ficar marcada na história."

From 2020: "DATA EXTRA DO NOS ALIVE'20 COM A GRANDE CONFIRMAÇÃO DE KENDRICK LAMAR"

"O fenómeno global, Billie Eilish, é a nova grande confirmação do NOS Alive’20"

You get the point.

I know there’s only half a dozen names announced so far; but it’s hard to believe that this is the same festival I worked every hour of overtime possible to make sure I could attend in 2016. Seems lightyears away now 

[TheNewUnion]

This is what I saw. They certainly deleted one tweet about it. This one.

Sam Smith was in 2014 and 2015 on the Main Stage of NOS Alive

They were at the peak of their career on 2015 and were co-headlining with Disclosure. Sam’s not that famous anymore so I doubt they’re headlining.

damn, talk about an overreaction 

[TheNewUnion]

As good as Lizzo is, and I really enjoyed Sam Smith's show before Disclosure a few years back, they'd be a very weak set of headliners when considering some of the acts that are on the road next summer. 

 

Regardless, tickets bought and flights and AirBnB paid for so we're going anyway.

nos organisers must really not want to sell tickets this year

They must be waiting for Mad Cool to announce.

[graceunderpressure]

Hopefully get a better idea on lineup when mad cool gets announced today. Usually very similar but last year not as much

No announcements at 10 am today, so probably waiting for some big names announced later today by Mad Cool and Rock Werchter

[Pastor.Of.Muppets]

Arctic Monkeys announced additional tour dates, among others they'll play on 04.07.  in Luxemburg and 10.07. in Madrid. Perfect fit for NOS Alive as they are already announced for Bilbao BBK on the same weekend (Spanish festival exclusive, so no Mad Cool for them).

[Karlos12345]

No 10 am act, no Monkeys although TBC with those dates. So RHCP at 2pm?

RHCP confirmed
