this festival has a lot of potential!  firstly it works together with cala mijas , secondly it is in the biggest place in Portugal to host festivals is the same place where rock in rio takes place , thirdly MEO is a strong sponsor of telecommunications in Portugal , fourthly the booker of the festival is former NOS Alive booker, worked at NOS Alive from 2007 to 2019, the festival was held for the first time in 2022 and has a lot of potential to be one of the biggest in Portugal.

 

blur are possible if they are on tour in august

Seem to be doing late summer but definitely if they are still about. If they can get AM they can do Blur - that French fest Blur are doing is a similar size to kalorama i'd say

I'd have thought the timing they're around favours NOS Alive more, but of course with Normandy and Wembley booked in the week, it makes that logistically tricky bordering on impossible.

Depends as much on whether they're extending the tour that far into the summer after these two shows in early July.

Kalorama has capacity for 40,000 people ... but the venue has a capacity for 90,000 people.

Blur can't be too big for any bigger European festival outside of the UK 

[Daniel Ferreira]

news on calas mijas tomorrow

[DDave]

Reckon the likes of The Cure, LCD, New Order, Prodigy Blondie etc will be in the mix for this given last year's line up and maybe even a few bands that were formed in the last 20 years as well lol

Kalorama follows Cala Mijas if it's the same names it will be very good.

[gfa]

Good to see the strokes are about!!

Thought that was a cracking first announcement until I remembered the misconduct allegations flying around about Win Butler at the min

[young_contra]

Yeah. Couldn’t care less about arcade fire

What was the crossover between Cala Mijas and Kaorama in 2022? Feel like the two shared most of the bill, if not quite all (for instance, I seem to recall Liam Gallagher did CM but was already in Lisbon for Rock in Rio before Muse/National).

All Cala Mijas headliners besides Liam Gallagher were at Kalorama.  Their replacement were Disclosure.

Last year Kalorama and Calas Mijas only had two headliners, so I don't believe in The Strokes coming.

[DarthSaul]

What is the best part of Lisbon to stay in for this festival? I have been to NOS a couple times before and stayed around the LX factory but see this is other side of the city? 

[Tigane]

I like the bands of course, but damn, Besides Amyl and the Sniffers, all the others already played in Portugal this year....
