NOS Alive 2024

[TheNewUnion]

Flights and accommodation are booked. It is, therefore, speculation time. 

Looks like Pearl Jam are on the road again next year, rumour is (on a Pearl Jam forum) that they're playing Lisbon in 13th July. If that is the case I'd be surprised if they don't play the festival. They last played 2018 so there has been a decent gap.

Is it too wishful thinking to hope for Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam ??

That would be huge. I think it might be a bit ambitious though. That being said, last time PJ played it was quite rock heavy with Arctic Monkeys and Queens of the Stone Age also headlining (Snow Patrol, The National and Jack White subbing).

[Daniel Ferreira]

It's very likely Foo Fighters, Foo Fighters no longer have dates for Rock in Rio...

But also Weezer, The Smashing Pumpkins and The National out there.

Pearl Jam are playing on the 13th I believe.

I was told that’s the last date of their European tour & it’s in Lisbon. Wasn’t specifically told it was Nos Alive, that’s an assumption.  

[OKMess]

If it's Pearl Jam + Foo Fighters then my attention is piqued. 

[TheNewUnion]

Tickets purchased, here's to a classic headline set from the mighty Pearl Jam (I hope).

 

Also, if you're sticking around post festival, keep an eye out for Cascais Cool Jazz festival. They have some great acts and it's in a beautiful park. Last year they had Lionel Richie, Noah Jones, Snarky Puppy and Kings of Convenience. In other years they've had The Roots and even Kraftwerk.

Easy train ride from Lisbon.

Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and Green Day. I fell like, at the least, we will get one of these 3 names in the lineup.

Foos start a US stadium tour on July 17th. Guess we'll see if they consider that too tight a turnaround to get back from Lisbon to New York.

They can easily play 11th or 12th and be back for the 17th in the US.

This also says surely they are in Europe later 2025. I think Olivia and them are two of 2025 Reading hesdliners

Food could easily play mad cool on the 10th and alive on the 12th. Looking at their 2023 tour they went between Europe and the US in June, so it's definitely doable given they are touring the UK in June then doing festivals (Hellfest) from end of June onwards.

When they were younger I would've said so, but I thought as an older band of people now in their 50s that they might try to bake in more time off between legs. I know Lisbon to New York in 5/6 days to start their US tour in NY isn't exactly the most complicated of journeys to make but I'm just not so sure.

I admit tbf that their Hellfest slot does bring them closer to being available for this. Maybe I'm wrong and they'll be up for it.

On the tour this year foos played in the US, then did rock am ring/ rock I'm park 3 days later.

I'm more confident they'll do rock werchter, but could see them playing mad cool/ alive, as they're unable to play a lot of the other big euro fests due to their UK dates throughout June.

I guess we'll see accordingly. With enough precedent that they are the kind of band who could be willing to do such quick turnarounds, maybe they will, or maybe they'll do their own European dates before the UK June run.

We'll see in due course I guess.

How strong is this?

[TheNewUnion]

Pearl Jam forums reporting tour ends in Lisbon on 13th July. Seems unlikely that, if that is true, that there would be a show the size of Pearl Jam anywhere else but at NOS Alive on the same day as NOS Alive.

[andy29]

See Green Day announced dates, still a possibility for NOS?

[OKMess]

Anyone got any idea when they're going to/when they normally announce? 

Got half an eye on this, especially if they get two of Foo Fighters, Green Day and/or Pearl Jam.

Green Day is out.

Foo Fighters are in New York on July 17th, Alive is on July 11th, 12th and 13th, so they're practically out.

Pearl Jam is the most possible name. There are very strong rumors that operate on July 13th.
Eddie Vedder once said in an interview that he likes to start or end his tour in Portugal... he likes to surf here.

This is what I've thought in the past, though they just announced for Rosklide and many believe they're doing Werchter as well, so... might not be out of the question. I thought practically that was the case tbf.

They can perform at the NOS Alive venue days before the festival.
