I have tickets regardless, but maybe Bloc Party & Hozier sub KoL on the 12th.

11th Depeche Mode & New Order. 

Sziget announcing their line up tomorrow so maybe an agreement to a joint announcement of an headliner (if neither have exclusivity). Honestly clutching at straws and hoping for a decent announcement 

 

 

Yes please. All in for Depeche Mode.

Will Pulp be the headliner on the second day? 🤔

If there is someone that can save Alive is Jarvis!!! They were incredible at Primavera. 

But I wouldn't be surprised if they are announced to Kalorama.

Source?

[Vanbang]

No Source, hence why i said "maybe" and "clutching at straws", at the moment i am just hoping and wishing for these type of bands

Depeche Mode won’t be playing.  No plans for shows

Yeah Dave Gahan gave an interview about a benefit gig that they're probably gonna be quiet for a little bit. Which makes sense given they only finished touring Memento Mori earlier this year and they tend to take time off for a while after those endeavours.

[TheNewUnion]

Been reading the reviews of the Kings of Leon shows earlier this year, everything I've read has been really positive. Here's hoping they're going to deliver for us.

I think tomorrow the announcement will be Till Lindemann.

Resurrection will also make an announcment tomorrow at the same time of Evil Live

So it is possible that Evil Live won't announce Korn /Till yet 

[Daniel Ferreira]

It even makes me vomit this day 10.

Evil Live is very strong next year.

 

amazing headliners , going for sure to korn and slipknot. Judas priest is not my cup of tea although i recognize their history to metal music

[TheNewUnion]

I don't know Barry Can't Swim. I do remember the Glastonbury forum getting very excited about him playing the other year, and I think they thought he should be playing a bigger field. 

 

Who knows eh

I'd like to see Judas Priest from that lineup.

Even Foster the People is too big for the second stage. Pumped Up Kicks have 2 billion streams on spotify and they have 18.5 million monthly listeners which is even higher than Kings of Leon which is at 18.4 million.

One hit wonder though. And that hit is 14 years old.

Much bigger in the US than over here though.

If you look at Spotify numbers they're as big as The Cure or Pink Floyd. But they're an american band with a huge hit and Spotify is a good indicator but doesn't say everything about how many tickets they would sell in Portugal today.

Just for an example, in August I've seen Wisp (TikTok and YouTube shoegaze-emo phenomenon with constantly a few millions Spotify monthly listeners and an almost 100M hit) playing in the smallest tent at Pukkelpop in front of less than 100 spectators. But she also had a sold out show in London the day after.

If they can find any other good band for the NOS stage, they will probably shift them to that stage, like what they did this year with Benjamin Clementine on the first day, tt was announced first for the Heineken stage but ended up on the NOS stage one week before the start of the festival.

Have we yet reached the crossover point from "An act a day is cool" to "Just announce it already!?!?" ha

I thought they'd dropped Pumped Up Kicks due to its lyrical content?

They still play it. They played it 14 times this year.

Last day, there are bands that haven't been to Portugal for a while and I really like that.

Kings of Leon - 2014 
Foster the People - 2017
Future Islands - 2018
