Smashing Pumpkins are not headliners.    In 2019 they were co-headliners with Chemical Brothers and Bon Iver,  a year that they had to put Vampire Weekend as headliners in the second day.    You have another example this year.  Black Keys were Headliners some years ago,  and this year they were only sub , before RHCP.   And you can check the announcment texts from Dua Lipa and Smashing Pumpkins,  and for Dua Lipa they talk like it is a very big announcment, and Smashing Pumpkins is talked like an normal announcment

Besides Nos Alive never announced two distinct headliners in 2 consecutive days.  In a marketing way , it makes no sense to announce 2 headliners like this, unless both were to announce their entire tour . And we already know that most of Smashing Pumpkins tour was already announced .  And probably because  Dua Lipa was due to announce now,  they probably are waiting more close to Christmas to announce  Foo Fighters.  Pearl Jam will of course announce all their tour at the same time

This! It's not reasonable to announce two headliners in two consecutive days.

You need the press and if you do so at least one of the announcements, if not the two, will be compromised. 

Last but not least, in what planet Smashing Pumpinks can sell 55 thousand tickets in a Portuguese festival? And you need the headliners to sell the majority of tickets. Smashing Pumpinks as solo headliners, in Portugal, only at Vilar de Mouros. Even Paredes de Coura with Lorde didn't sell out.

Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins on the same day I think it's a lot for Alive, when this year we had Alive that now looks like a fruit salad, on the same day several genres of music like Sam Smith/QOTSA and AM/Lizzo... but I hope I'm wrong , but since 2019 I lost hope in Alive .

Smashing Pumpkins are not that big in Portugal .   It is like having Jack White Sub for Pearl Jam  or Black Keys for Red Hot

Red Hot - Black Keys it's ok, but Foo Fighters - Smashing Pumpinks it's not. Ok. We will wait and see.

I bet LCD are tomorrows band. 

Failing that, Parcels need to be on the line up

[flowernigiri]

Would much rather have LCD somewhere else but hey, LCD are LCD. A Dua Lipa + LCD combo sounds good, actually!

[DDave]

Khruangin. Lovely stuff

I agree with you. SP do not have the popularity nowadays compared with their peak in the 90s.

However, I think that you underestimate their popularity in Portugal. Yeah, not to sell a 55k festival on their own. But they are a popular band around here.

Things were a lot different by then, but Smashing Pumpinks were headliners in the first Alive edition. On the same day, below them you had White Stripes. 

In 2011, they did 2 nights at Campo Pequeno...

In 2024 they will not be headliners, I believe, but will have a position like Black Keys this year, for example.

this.

i think SP will play a full set before the headliner, just like the black keys with RHCP this year.

But that's exactly what I'm thinking 🙂

New addition

I don't think I have ever heard Benjamin Clementine, one for the play list. The bigger variety of music the better I think.

He's very good but notorious for throwing hissy fits.

Not exactly a great festival booking with that trait.

He loves playing in Portugal. Never heard of any problem during his shows round here. In fact, the opposite.

Saw him at a boutique fest in Germany one, spent most of his gig complaining about the horrible sound and how he couldn't work like that. He wasn't wrong though

Yeah, I am aware of his mood. I was just talking about the shows in Portugal.

+ Kenya Grace

[NorthernSoul52]

I'm trying to think who threw the bitchiest show I've ever attended would be now, and I'm honestly not too sure.

Wait, Madonna. How could I forget that?!

The manager of the NOS Alive Twitter account ended up saying that there are more names next week.
