MeMeMeM Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 15 minutes ago, mln said: 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_contra Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 😂 lineup is so wack that it got us discussing who's headlining or who isn't more than who is yet to be confirmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 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 Edited December 2, 2022 by young_contra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t read too much into the choice of words used in the newsletter but that’s just me. 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.

49Lawson Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewUnion Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 This is what I saw. They certainly deleted one tweet about it. This one. https://twitter.com/NOS_Alive/status/1598604285566148609?t=Qd7UT61EZRXYuxLibNMOfA&s=08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewUnion Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor.Of.Muppets Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 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). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlos12345 Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 No 10 am act, no Monkeys although TBC with those dates. So RHCP at 2pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
