Tigane Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 4 hours ago, Naran Jitu said: Loving the line up as well. A bit disappointed bc of KGLW absence but cannot ask for everything. How many bands are we still missing? I'm guessing one headliner for the 16th and another one for the 17th? I thought Wilco would headline, that Saturday looks awesome already but the other days seem weak to sell day tickets... in a instagram post today, the director said around 10 bands are missing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joaommaia Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 4 hours ago, Tigane said: in a instagram post today, the director said around 10 bands are missing We have 26. The festival usually has 40 (7 on the first day and 11 on the others). Last year, even the first day (not including the day with only Portuguese acts) had 11 artists. So, I'm expecting 14-18 more. Maybe he made a mistake counting the names left to announce... or we will have a smaller line-up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allribena Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Line up looks dope, I'm planning on booking this and flights to Porto this weekend - anyone know what days the coaches normally run on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naran Jitu Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 This Friday final announcement? If the info was correct, there are still 4 bands tba. It's weird as the lineup seems to be lacking at least 2 headliners, but I expect small bands to fill the low half. Hopefully we'll get one more headliner for Thursday. Still hoping for KG (yes I know someone had info saying otherwise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FestivalJamie Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Can someone help me with this? How can I get here via public transport from the UK? The tickets for the festival seem quite cheap- is it best to bring a tent etc as luggage on the plane then set up camping or is there another way to go? Tipps would be super appreciated as this is my first time at this festival! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way is to take a flight to Porto, then go by bus/car to Paredes de Coura , by the Highway Porto - Valença , and it is easy to go to Coura. The best way to spend your time in the festival is in the camping, right next to the festival site. However if you don't like camping, there are hotels in nearby towns , however for the full Coura experience, camping is better option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been there but I know some people who did and they all confirmed me that what is written here is the best way to reach the festival: https://www.paredesdecoura.com/en/how-to-arrive/ It's in the North, so, as @Tiganesaid, the best is if you fly to/from Porto or Vigo. The festival takes place in a wood with a river close to a small village that's very nice during festival days and they all told me camping at this festival is a very nice experience. Bring your own stuff if you can. Edited April 15, 2023 by gigi21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FestivalJamie Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 I’m so tempted for this. But there’s so little info on the website and around that I’m so confuse. As a solo-goer, I can’t find the exact busses I need to take to get to the festival. Also there’s the question about camping gear- do I pay to bring it from England or hire something in Portugal? These are things which I find super confusing. Lorde is going to be absolutely incredible at parades that’s for sure. She will put on a better set here than at any of the bigger festivals!

Take portable camping things including small sleeping bag and inflatable mat that shrinks down small and get it all in a rucksack. Take taxi from airport to the Matosinhos Decathlon that is nearby. Ask driver to wait while you quickly buy basic tent (research which one in advance) Jump back in taxi to Porto town (I think the buses go from Campanha) https://rede-expressos.pt/en/timetables Take pre-booked direct bus to festival. Enjoy festival. Recycle tent. Fly home. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bands won't clash, so the last show on the main stage ends when the next show on the second stage starts. https://www.instagram.com/p/CvpBPkqIoSc/?igshid=NjIwNzIyMDk2Mg== Also this clashfinder looks pretty accurate: https://clashfinder.com/s/paredesdecoura2023/ Edited August 13, 2023 by gigi21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
