OPTIMUS ALIVE´14

[HarryP95]

They're blagging you man

hahaha i know, was worth a go though

[Hawky]

Today let's bombard them with tweets about the third headliner... we all up for it?

[roadrunner66]

They're either struggling to find an headliner or it's going to be the little guy who doesn't like to annouce it until the very last minute. Or they can always call the biggest portuguese band, Xutos & Pontapes, as a last resort. It's what they normally do when thigs like these happen. Although lot of people wouldn't be happy about it, it would be a good chance for them to get to know them.

[Dom Wall]

Yeah, prince could be there with his '6 weeks' thing..

[roadrunner66]

Optimus Alive normally doesn't let people down but it's unveliable how many potenial headliners they have missed. It would make sense if it were the purple one. He always comes to Portugal when he crosses the Atlantic to pay a visit to his platonic love, Ana Moura.

Prince would certainly be a big name to satisfy most people I think as a set of headliners it woukd look brilliant however petsonally Prince Sucks!

They've announced some acts today's for the Raw Bandstand stage? I can't picture the stage? Is it the one above the path where they usually have DJS playing as you enter? Or is there a little stage around the corner from the Heinieken stage?

[glass03]

Nine Inch Nails have shows booked until June 11...

Prague June 11 >> Lisbon June 12?

Would be insane in my opinion. Make it happen Optimus!

[HarryP95]

Optimus is july

I hope not as it would mean my flights are booked for the wrong month!

It's the little stage around the corner from the Heinieken stage:

[HarryP95]

Prince is terrible. like i don't get the hype around him at all, I've said it before and i will say it again, his last album was free in the daily mirror for fuck sake. I just hope we get a standard band at this point who are oboe average live

[Placid Casual 1927]

It's Kate Bush!

[Anderson19]

Rather have the futureheads

[HarryP95]

she's shit n all, she is one of those acts along with prince you feel almost obliged to like but i just can't get my head round why she is so adored. I hope we get another sort of Genre for the last headliner, Arctic Monkeys and The Black keys are more of a Headliner Sub combination for a similar style day. Chemical Brothers or something like that would be cool

[Dom Wall]

Just noticed on the app, Elbow are now listed as main stage.

[Anderson19]

Kelis announced main stage 10th july, thursday is looking a good day.

Happy with that good announcement!

[Sprawlii]

Kelis is for second stage

[Anderson19]

Yeah the poster said palco optimus but the tweet said palco heineken either way good addition

[Anderson19]

Now they changed it and the first poster dissapeared, shes playing heineiken

[Richi1988]

It's the little stage around the corner from the Heinieken stage:

Will be my first year at Optimus, so I'm just curious, whats the size of the Heineken stage? after looking at this pic of a bandstand I'm slightly worried hahaha

[Dom Wall]

That isn't the Heineken stage, the Heineken stage is sizeable, no idea on numbers but would say something like 5k if I was guessing.

[Anderson19]

Haha it's nowt like that, I didn't even see that bandstand last time it's small and hidden round a corner.

Heinieken stage is certainly a lot bigger than that! & it has a screen on the side so you can watch from outside near the food bench communal area if you so wish.

[SagitarianWorld]

That's the Raw Coreto stage, not the Heinieken stage...

[Placid Casual 1927]

No one fell for my Kate Bush gag. Well played.

[Anderson19]

Booka Shade

No idea, however after a quick you tube they are actually pretty good.
