tomorrow (Friday), I announce at 9 am in Portugal

Do you have any more info on this being today?

[spacedementia]

The owner of the festival had teased an announcement but it wasn't for Alive, it was some Bob Dylan shows in Portugal:

Thank you, I forgot to mention that ;)

[TheNewUnion]

I'm a bit bored of waiting now. Can we have an interesting/exciting/unusual name announced please?  

[jdog]

With both the festival pass and day tickets to the first day sold out, are there any easy ways of getting either a festival pass or a day ticket to the first day? 

[TheNewUnion]

I don't think that NOS has a fan to fan ticket exchange, so if it's sold out I suppose it's a case of keeping checking on the off chance something comes available, or resorting to the murky world resellers I'm afraid.

Watched her in John Wick 4 - full on bad ass. If she performs as well as she fights, it'll be a must see!

Seriously though, she was brilliant in the film. Didn't know she acted too.

I saw her live 2 months ago on her headliner tour... nothing special tbh.

They've basically given up now, haven't they.

They've let it go so flat, I was buzzing when I got tickets, but other line-ups & one-off gigs announced since have made me almost regret my decision. I'm really hoping we get a few names very soon just to spark a bit of interest. 

[Rocinante]

Where is the best place to find resale tickets?

Hi everyone ! When do you think that we will have the stage times ?

[TheNewUnion]

It would be useful to get sight of the times for planning purposes, particularly given how poor (for me and my tastes) the 8th July looks.

Up to now I have RHCP, Black Keys, Puscifer, Spoon and Ibibio on the list for 6th July.

Arctic Monkeys, Lizzo, Idles, Girl in Red, City and Colour, Nathaniel Rateliff and The Amazons for 7th July.

Sam, QOTSA, Rina Sawayama and Carolina Deslandes for 8th July.

Assuming that there are clashes I could probably stay in Estoril until about 9pm on the 8th, unless anyone has any suggestion for someone interesting/different to see further down the lineup.

 

(I know they say "Many More" but I would be surprised, yet delighted, if some bigger names arrives this late in the day)

think they released the schedule first week of July last year

i think Nathaniel has cancelled, pretty sure ive read he has cancelled his entire European run apart from that one fest in UK he is Headlining, so i am hoping they are waiting to secure a new name before announcing it

getting a bit late for new names, but they seem to have less names especially on the 2nd stage than previous years 

 

 

[TheNewUnion]

Ahh, that sucks. Was looking forward to Nathaniel. Oh well, I'm sure they will fill the spot. Few years back Florence cancelled and they got Morcheeba, which was ace/

Totally different situation. The cancellation of Florence was like in the day before...

Regarding Nathaniel, it doesn't surprise me if they don't announce a replacement. Remeber a time when Poliça cancelled like three of four months before...and we are still waiting for that official information.

[TheNewUnion]

I get that, but you've got to have faith. Feel a bit let down by the lineup this year so still hoping for more.

 

 

[TheNewUnion]

Watching Rina Sawayama on the Glastonbury coverages. She's putting on a fantastic show, definitely watching (clashes permitting).

It's insane we still don't have the timetable...

Aye, just feels like they've given up now. It's mostly sold out and they're all "that'll do".

It is always like that. Usually, only a week before. Not defending them, just sayung how they work.

Hi!

First time attending this fest.

Does anyone know how the Cascais Line works? I've seen that there is a combined ticket NOS Alive + CP Cascais but it says nothing in mine.

Do you need to buy the ticket every day or there is a travel pass that you recommend?

Are you staying in Cascais? We stay out there and in previous years have just gone to the station and bought a "Beach Ticket" for the train. It was a 1 week unlimited pass and you could travel Lisbon to Cascais line in any direction as often as you liked in that week. It was 12 Euro last time. I cannot find anything on that this year so I'll ask when I get to the station.

Outside that, you can buy a reloadable card at the station and just tap on and off the train. Train travel is pretty cheap and you can top your card up at Cascais/Estoril very easily, about 2.50euro per journey I think. Latest I found on the cp.pt website was a 3 day (72 hour) pass for 13.5 euro for unlimited travel
