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 

She hasn't skipped Portugal/Spain on a tour so far, although normally it's just a festival. So if that's the case I'm not sure which ones she will play at, because I don't think a repeat at Coura in such a short space of time is likely.

That year in Paredes de Coura it wasn't supposed to be Lorde, it was going to be PJ Harvey but she cancelled the tour before it was announced and the alternative was Lorde.

Day 15 another new name.

My Bloody Valentine would be an absolute treat.

Surely no realistic expectation for that with Primavera Sound Porto

That's interesting - but I also believe she would have gone to Portugal at some point one way or another, as she doesn't usually miss it on her tour.

Great booking with the Pixies! I actually like that more than 21 Pilots and even Foo Fighters.

Tomorrow Tyler will announce an Italian date, he could be next announcement.

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 think Buraka will close the stage. Da Weasel didn't close, but for Buraka is the only slot that makes sense.

Werchter just announced 21 Pilots. We expecting them to turn up here?

Surprised by that, was fully expecting both them and Gorillaz for Primavera Porto. The fact that Gorillaz were announced for Pohoda festival in Slovakia over Nos weekend I wonder if there's some big tours still to be revealed who will be headlining here? Suppose we find out if they add another headliner tomorrow with this 15th October announcement...

Gorillaz are playing Pohoda on Thursday, 9 July, so I believe they could still play Portugal on the 11th.

Sure, but... I can't imagine a scenario where they don't play Porto

[FestivalJamie]

It's got to be Gorillaz for Primavera Porto now that the Cure & Doja Cat are out.

Would be very surprised if we get another big act for the 11th. I think that's it.

 

For tomorrow, maybe Deftones or 21 Pilots. If 21 Pilots are playing, I can't see why they would delay much more the announcement.

Sabrina Carpenter?

I believe she is of those cases that would announce the festivals all at once. We don’t have clues about a coordinated announcement for tomorrow.
