Also feeling this is already more stacked than last year and we haven’t had all names yet.

To be honest, Olivia, Noah all tastes aside, Muse and NIN was quite big Anyma Saturday letting it down.

And Nick Cave. Or am I missing something?

Well, we haven’t had any names for Saturday so let’s see what happens .

 

Can you get day passes or just weekend tickets?

Saturday seems pretty clear that is waiting for an artist/band announcement (my money is on Foo Fighters or Sabrina)

You mean Friday? Because Saturday already has Lorde and Florence, I'm not expecting another big headliner for 11 Saturday

Yeah I meant the second day, I was assuming it’s Fri-Sun but it must be Thurs-Sat.

A +2hours show by Nick Cave and a +2hours show by FF on the same day?

he said that we can call him crazy 😅

This year seems unusual, but I will still bet that Foo Fighters or (most likely) Sabrina Carpenter, if one of them is booked, will be on the 10th.

Foo would play 1.45h , Nick cave 1.30h

there are a lot of good bands/artsits around europe next summer unlikely last year.

 

If FF arent in NOS they are probably in Rock in rio which was also my first guess since they cancelled 2 shows in a row there.

Can't see Nick agreeing on 1.30h. Even 2h feels 'rather short' for him.

Foos playing less than 2hours either. 

[joaommaia]

Olivia Dean has to be on the card. It's my request.

 

Deftones + Foo Fighters for Friday would be incredible.

somehow (even though i would also love it) cant see deftones as a band covoes would book to NOS.

[Archi]

The hype around Deftones (and the historic big nu-metal names) is big. The band is playing big mainstream festivals worldwide (Lollapalooza per example), so wouldn't be surprised to see them here tbh.

[pm91]

Deftones already headlined NOS (optimus) Alive in 2010, so it's a possibility...

Foos + Deftones on the same day would be awesome, but Deftones already have some dates in Europe scheduled for the beginning of the year, I don't know if they will be able to come back again in the summer to play festivals

Early NOS (optimus) as a festival was VERY different from todays NOS festival , u cant compare it even though its the same booker (Everything is new/alvaro covoes)

 

As far as im aware Deftones are doing festivals/europe in the summer.

It’s strange to say for a band like Deftones, but TikTok made them appealing to the masses.

well thats one thing i never imagine (i dont have tiktok)

 

tiktok made Deftones famous? genuine question

[Specta]

This looks like a return to form for NOS Alive. Last year's line up seemed to me like a bit of a mess.

This year they start early and with big names. I guess the competition will be pretty big next year in Portugal so getting the names early might suites them well. If i see 3-4 more names that i like i might consider it for next summer.

But yeah, this looks pretty fine already.

Why do people think Sabrina is coming to Europe again this summer?
