Optimus Alive 12

[Anderson19]

The next few announcement plus the dance stage are crucial to the overall outlook of the line up.

A couple more random acts like we have been getting lately and overall it will not look that strong especially the saturday stage. But if it goes the other way it really will be great depends on peoples taste in music of course.

Either way its going to be brilliant as said many times its worth the money for the headliners alone and there is plenty of other brilliant acts already on the bill, and if the dance stage is anything like last year we are in for a treat.

Roll on July!

Bloc Party are playing Super Bock Super Rock, don't expect them to play at Optimus Alive.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Bloody hell. Optimus Alive missed a trick there, what are they playing at!?

[roadrunner66]

Super Bock Super Rock festival, near Lisbon.

I'm hoping the lack of announcements last week means they're going to make a pretty big one this week, I kind of expect we'll get something like; Jessie J, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Crystal Castles & possibly Chase & Status &/or Ed Sheeran from the Beni line up, but I want something a little out of the box/ surprising.

I would also like to know if there is a sub left for the Radiohead day, I mean the possibilities are there: New Order, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Elbow, Orbital, hell even Bob Dylan wouldn't look too out of place slotting in there & they're all around the right place on that weekend, though I suspect the organisers may have pulled a fast one & are expecting Radiohead to sell that day on their own, which kinda sucks.

[Sketchead]

What website has everyone used to book flights on? I know they'll have gone up by now but I've only just got enough money together for the flights.

[Anderson19]

I used Easyjet think they fly direct to Lisbon from Luton & Liverpool, thats assuming you are flying from England.

Lack of announcements lately really hoping for a good few acts in these last announcements.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I used Easyjet too... I'm really hoping they announce something this week, even if it ends up being a load of crap announced, I'd still rather they got on with it.

[pryce]

yeah i used easyjet .... although i booked a while ago ... one of my mates had to pay 240 quid as he booked yesterday to be on the same flight .... ouch

Just had a look at Gesaffelstein's tour dates and looks like he's playing on the Friday. Very happy with this, said all along i wanted him to play. Awesome DJ.

[cheeseisamazing]

Any one know where the cheapest flights are going from? x

[pryce]

Skrillex confirmed for Super Bock Super Rock, could be a good thing if you have the same view of Skrillex as i do..

Ahh gutted Optimus have lost out on Hot Chip, Bloc Party & The Horrors.

Really not expecting much from these last announcements hope I'm wrong though.

Still i can't wait it well be amazing nonetheless.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Yeah, I think by dragging it out they're kind of making it worse for themselves?... I mean for the price of the ticket the line up is already amazing & I'd say they've probably managed to bag the best set of headliners of any Festival this year, so I'm happy, I'm just holding out for a few more amazing dance acts/DJ's, I've kind of given up on the subheadliner for the Radiohead day.
