OPTIMUS ALIVE´14

[willjill]

Looks like I can see Imagine Dragons and Arctic Monkeys - best bit of news I've had all week!

[Dom Wall]

Think some of the timings are wrong, imagine dragons ar 20:50 then elbow at 21:25 on the same stage?

[pship7]

Looks like that website just had the wrong stage for Elbow.

If you go on the official app they're on there now.

Just 2 weeks to go, hopefully they'll add another couple of decent acts to complete the line-up!

There's a nice big gap on the main stage just before The Libertines...

[Dom Wall]

Imagine Dragons on main stage now.

Decent clash there, Imagine Dragons and Elbow...only know a couple from each so might see half and half..

MGMT look like they've got about an hour and a half set! Shame, as they'll clash with Sam Smith.. Black Keys look to have an hour and a half also.

Definitely another act on Libertines day, can't be a three and a half hour gap between Foster the People starting and Libertines starting!

Sorry to be slightly off topic, but I'm looking for a 3 day ticket. If by any chance you have an extra one and wanna help a fellow efestivals member, feel free to contact me!

Hey everyone, in some trouble and was wondering if anyone could help. Basically me and my friends all booked to go to Optimus Alive as we are all graduating this year so we booked flights tickets etc but just my luck my ticket didn't go through so now I'm pretty stuck. If anyone has or knows anyone selling a 3 day pass with camping could you please let me know as i would like to purchase it ASAP.

Thanks

Dan

So many clashes..

Are Imagine Dragons really going to play at the main stage ?

[willjill]

According to the official app they are

[JoanaMichelle]

Ohhhh I'm desperately looking for 2 3 day tickets (and camping if possible) that I can actually afford No one changing their minds about going?! :/

[Dom Wall]

Final act announced for the main stage libertines day......

Some random Portuguese people, everyone pushed back a time slot. Yay.

[Placid Casual 1927]

Weird that the black keys are on almost 2 hours earlier than AM and libs

[Dom Wall]

What's everyone's initial plans now we've seen the timetable?

[Placid Casual 1927]

First day is the best for me. Temples, the 1975 (don't judge me) and elbow then interpol and AM. The other 2 days there's only a handful I really want to see apart from headliners.

First day best for me too, although Elbow bore me to tears so they're totally getting ditched which means I have a bit of a lap over between the 1975 (what's to judge) and Imagine Dragons. The rest of the time I'll be found roaming between stages developing some tan lines and soaking up the atmosphere

[Dom Wall]

First day for me also! Don't think there'll be an overlap of 1975 and Imagine Dragons personally so probably see both..

[Andywest2k1]

Got a few questions for those that have been before, I hope you guys can help me out...

Whats the vibe on the LIsboa campsite? It looks more like a real campsite than a festival campsite, is this the case?

Also, is there a shop on site, and what are the showers like etc? Is it easy to get a spot to pitch up?

What alcohol do they sell in the festival and what are the prices like?

Thanks in advance guys..

[Grimshaw]

How much would everyone suggest taking money wise for a week in Lisbon?

[willjill]

Ah, just checked again Dom and I had been remembering the wrong times in my fried brain this week, looks like any possible overlap would be minimal - even better

[willjill]

Maybe because they're playing BBK the next day and need some beauty sleep in between haha

The 1975 aren't the coolest band around are they? Bit of a guilty pleasure for me! I'm not really fussed on Elbow but never seen them so feel like I have to check them out.

Actually a bit gutted Kelis clashes with Arctic monkeys I'd have been up for that! Drenge and Parquet Courts on other days I want to see.

Depends on what you'll be buying/drinking etc really. It's relatively cheap apparently, I'm working on around 500 quid for a week.

1st day all about the main stage for me! find a good spot close(ish) to the bar and get leathered! only 1 clash ruling out seeing Daughter, but I'll be watching the Libs for the 1st time so hardly pissed about that one!

[willjill]

I've never really bothered about whether a band is cool or not. If I like what they play I listen, if I don't I leave them to someone else. The beauty of festivals is you can almost guarantee you'll find something you like the sound of just by taking a wander
