since the sales are terrible im holding off from buy a ticket to NIN (only band im interested), there will be contests to get free tickets in the coming months so i might try my luck there.

 

there will be tickets available on the day of the show so ill just buy then if i cant come across a free ticket

 

but this line up is one of the worst editions ever , only thing worse was the year of stone roses as a headliner...god that was an awful edition

Someone calling a line up with radiohead and the cure awful isn't something you hear every day

To be honest i totally forgot about those 2 bands so i take it back.

2012 was my first, stellar lineup for my tastes.

That Sunday looks amazing with Radiohead, Mazzy Star and Warpaint. 

[melastas]

hopefully this means some big (or medium...) names coming soon

[Dazrigby88]

Radiohead, Mazzy Star, Stone Roses, the Cure... you won;t be seeing a line-up like that ever again!!

For the price I feel like Nine Inch Nails, Kings of Leon, Amyl & The Sniffers & Dead Poet Society is decent.

Kings Of Leon is the weak link in this lineup though. Never walked out of a gig of them thinking that it blew my mind.

And ones from 2008 at that. But I kind of like their music, but their shows never do it for me.

I think having a massive hit with "Sex on Fire" did Kings of Leon no favours at all. I have been listening to them a lot since they announced and their last few albums are good.

The reviews of their last tour have been stellar and some blokes at work who went to see them said they were great.

I hated them the last time I say them and this time I am very much hoping to be impressed. Jury still out, but I have moderately high hopes.

[Tbrady94]

KOL are the worst expectation vs. reality gig I've ever been, but I'm will to give them another shot. They've got so many great tunes so hopefully they translate this time.

 

Hey, even if they don't, there's probably Foster The People or Future Islands headlining the Heineken stage to go and enjoy.

Kings of Leon are a great band. Latest album is an absolute banger and Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because of the Times are all timers. I agree with the above that Sex on fire actually killed them because no one cares for all the other bangers live, they should probably just start with it.

Not a bad idea actually. Went to see James at the height of their "Sit Down" fame. They opened (maybe played it second) with a faster/heavier version of it, got it out of the way and then cracked on. Good decision.

Some acts do that from time to time tbf. The Killers will have done quite a number of shows with Mr Brightside as opener or at least in the first 2/3.

I think also Radiohead have opened their set with Creep a couple of times .

Apparently they open with Mr Brightside whenever they play somewhere they haven't before - not sure how true that is however.

So, there will be no Mumford & Sons on 11 July. We may end up with Same Fender + Justice as a co-headline, or a headliner is missing...

Nos Alive had smaller co-headliners in the past, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

[TheNewUnion]

Fender and Justice is fine by me . I just want to see some more announcements, Pukkelpop dropped a couple of names recently that caught my eye so there's still hope (The Beaches being the main one)

The word on tge streets is that the sales are so poor this year.

 

If u think fender and justice are able to draw a crowd of at least 25k you are out of your mind...

[TheNewUnion]

I'm really looking forward to Sam Fender, but I think you are right - that day simply does not have the draw to sell out. 

 

Hopefully there will be plenty of space to sit down and we can get a good spot for Sam Fender.

Thinking about it they did open with that at a few first time played nations in recent years. So I can see that.

 

As it's been a while now since they've been to Portugal, maybe it'll open for their return there.
