NOS Alive 2026

[FestivalJamie]

That’s a pretty good booking for the main stage, given they will be playing before Lorde AND Florence & the machine on the 11th.

 

I don’t know many of their songs but I know that they are pretty popular across Europe, so I think that it’s quite a strong booking for the undercard! 

 

11th is looking very attractive to me now, but I want to wait for the names on 9th-10th to see if it’s worth a 3 day ticket.

Lose Control was also a massive hit with millions of views & streams.

 

I’ll have to listen to some more of their music though, but I’m really happy with this booking for the undercard.

Spotify numbers dont mean anything.

 

they can be easily manipulated to create hype

Mate, give it up.

If you don't know an artist, just Google it and you gonna see he plays arenas on his last tour, he also announced huge UK shows for next Summer and his banger "Lose Control" has more than 2 billion listens on Spotify... and they are not fake (let's say a small portion is). This trio Florence + Lorde + Teddy is a strong one, even if it's not really my taste.

[FestivalJamie]

I agree 

 

Florence / Lorde / Teddy Swims is a very strong combination for the main stage.

 

I am seeing both Florence & Lorde separately on tour so it’s great to be able to see them back to back on one stage.

 

I think this will sell well - it might not sell out, but it will pull in good numbers. Especially as Florence & Lorde don’t show up often in Portugal.

[TheNewUnion]

Teddy is an arena sized act here in the UK, followed by Lorde who played stadium shows on her last tour, followed by Florence who has very capably headlined Glastonbury.

 

Good day.

Not a teddy swims fan - anyone disputing he shouldn't be there should consider looking at things objectively.

 

I've not seen what venues he plays in Portugal, but his UK tour earlier this year was arena's, and sold out

It's the first time that Teddy Swims has come to Portugal.

Jack White was announced today at the In Music Festival, becoming a possibility for NOS Alive.
I saw him there in 2018, it was an incredible day:

I'm not among those 46 million listeners either. I had no idea who this guy was until right now. And I have serious doubts this is the kind of confirmation people is waiting for...

I could see both, him headling day two or him being a strong sub for nick cave

Neither am I a listener nor will start caring for him. So what? It's not like every single confirmation will be one that "people" are waiting for. 

Besides. Now that I know that all one needs to do to play NOS Alive is to manipulate spotify numbers... Expect me to be confirmed next year!! Working on it

Appreciated, I Google'd and saw his early 2025 tour included arenas across UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands. Just Portugal/Spain was missed off entirely.

It's strong for NOS to get and act like him playing in the middle of the day.

More important than knowing any particular name is the fact that until (I'd say) last year you could know what to expect. Almost all bands were NOS-like or NOS-ish :-D, even if they were not the most popular ones or your cup of tea, if you know what I mean. But names like this Teddy, Anyma or even Olivia Rodrigo have a totally diferent target, I think. And they change the festival. Probably for the better for some people, but not just me. 

[OKMess]

Ideal couple of additions for me now would be Foo Fighters and Ghost

Ghost actually is not a headliner of any Portuguese festival! Below Foo Fighters for sure…but I would prefer Deftones, APC than Ghost

Day 22...

[Daniel Ferreira]

Day 22 by Covoes 😁

[joaommaia]

I guess he went to an images bank and downloaded every number from 1 to 31...

Not every announcement has to be a mega worldwise star.

 

And yet he's still huge. Arena sized act and to have him (I guess) third down is very strong.

teddy

one could say buraka could play after hours but it really depends if they can fit another band opening the day
