OPTIMUS ALIVE´14

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I'm hoping The Pixies are the last headliner. They're in Europe at the time playing Manchester on 10th July. Could be the Saturday headliner.

Black keys are headlining Saturday & Pixies are playing at the Porto version of Primavera so are unlikely anyway.

[Anderson19]

I still think its may well be RHCP

Black Keys are headlining the Friday. The festival is Thursday, Friday, Saturday this year (may well have been before but I'm not sure). But as you say, Pixies are playing elsewhere in Portugal so very unlikely.

Agh so it is, my mistake.

Me too.

I'm beginning to think this too.. is anyone thinking of anyone else? Kanye?

[Ged Devereux]

Kasabian?

[Millar95]

Bilbao BBK Live announcing 10 acts tomorrow, might give us more indication of acts that'll play Optimus Alive given that they share a fair few acts!

[Dom Wall]

Kasabian?

Last time they played (2010) they only subbed, don't seem to be as popular on the continent! Saying that, i'd say highly possible to play.

I hope its RHCP.

[Hawky]

Can I take alcohol into the campsite?

[Anderson19]

Hoping we get Foster The People, Conor oberst & Frank Turner from that new announcement & being greedy phoenix & white lies from the original announcement

[Anderson19]

Polica have pulled out of BBK aswell, already announced for optimus, hopefully thats just a dispute with BBK & they still do optimus

[Luke Routledge]

Looks like there is one or two big acts left for the European festivals. Im thinking along the lines of U2 or RHCP

[Hawky]

Who is Cass McCombs...

[TheNewUnion]

He's brilliant, singer songwriter with a Q Magazine 5 Star review for his latest album (for what that's worth)

[Hawky]

I listened to him, not exactly my cuppa tea.

[Anderson19]

Paus announced aswell, they played the last time i went to Optimus, Portuguese band i believe never went to see them but think they are very popular over there.

[Chrisw16]

I saw Paus when they last played Optimus, were pretty good actually, didn't really have a crowd which cared about them (summed up pretty well by the fact that when the base player tried to crowd surf he just fell on the ground) I'd recommend seeing them if there was nothing else.

[Anderson19]

Anyone recall if its common whether we share many acts with Beni?

Don't think it's a 'if beni has them so does optimus' but means they're more likely due to being in the same area at the same time I suppose.

[Hawky]

Kasabian?

[Anderson19]

Not sure what there popularity is like in Portugal? I wouldnt mind them personally

[Dom Wall]

probably wouldn't headline, played second (sub) last time (2010) and doubt they've got much bigger if any since. Would be a great sub under Arctics.
