Certainly going in the other direction of last year so far

Other direction? 

 

Curious about the Nick Cave day by the way. Curious to see what names are going to play under him.

Of this year I meant. Seems to be a return to form.

Excellent booking

[manelrl]

I hope that from now on we will have the daily 9 a.m. post

[FestivalJamie]

Wow, pixies , great booking . This is looking good so far

[FestivalJamie]

Will Pixies clash with Florence if they are on separate stages or how is this usually organised?

Don't think they will do that. 

 

If I had to guess, probably (half of the set) will clash with Buraka Som Sistema, since they have different target audience. 

 

About Pixies, not my cup of tea, but they seem to indicate a strong line up.

yeah , if they have to put them in the heiniken stage then the NOS stage seems pretty strong

 

i cant see buraka playing no more than being the 3rd band , if not that they are playing after hours after the headliners

I believe they will create a schedule conflict, NOS Alive is sh*t in terms of schedules.

Dunno. Wasn't Rodrigo the first name for last edition? Don't know if they're going to have an equally big headliner this year.

im not the biggest fan of olivia but truth be told , her day was the only one sold out last year or at least the first to sold out (this im sure)

Assuming NOS Alive gets both Foo and 21P, I'll be interested in seeing how Kalorama's lineup will be. With SBSR out of the way, on top of that

FF and 21P are not bands for kalorama

I know! I should have worded it differently. Aside from those and poppier names, I have no clue as to what headliners a festival might come up with, this year. Excluding, of course, also those that are to play Primavera

Day 15

[FestivalJamie]

Interested to see whether Lorde is doing NOS/Mad Cool or whether she will go elsewhere in Spain/Portugal. 

[just_one]

i can see Lorde being at Kalorama ,Paredes de Coura (if her tour lasts that long) or Primavera

I don't think she will be at Primavera Porto because she's not in Barcelona. So far her only festival (European) announced is in Austria in August, so it would point towards either Kalorama or Coura.

 

I went last time in Coura and it was incredible, but I'm not convinced they would book her twice within 3 years as apparently the weekend ticket sales that year weren't great (although the day ticket sales must have been good for Lorde because it was packed).

Day 15 another new name.

When’s that? Weds?

Yeah that’s why I’m thinking rock werchter / NOS alive / mad cool.

 

I don’t think she will headline Coura twice in such a small space of time, I also can’t see her skipping Spain and Portugal.

It’s likely she’s in the uk in August too so I think it’ll be the latter festivals like Pukklepop etc… rather than Nos, RW etc
