So you’re telling us you’re buzzing to see Kneecap on Other stage next year? 

It really will be Magical when we hear them........................ every day that goes by makes me thin k this more and more................. and a reply to a FB question about Comedy adds to that, they said 'this year it was in CODA' no need to say 'this year' unless changes are a foot.

It's crazy (and very sad to me) to think about how things changed in a few years. I came to NOS Alive for the first time in 2016 (and then came back again the year after). 3-day tickets were 119€ and we got Radiohead, The Chemical Brothers, Arcade Fire, Tame Impala, Pixies, Robert Plant, Foals, M83, Biffy Clyro, Two Door Cinema Club, The 1975, Wolf Alice, Father John Misty, Band Of Horses, Grimes, Soulwax, Hot Chip, 2ManyDJs, John Grant, Calexico, Jose Gonzalez, Four Tet, Courtney Barnett and some others (Paus among local bands, amazing live set). It was one of the best festivals on Earth both in terms of quality acts and value and was plenty of music passionates from all over Europe (sold out months in advance, obviously). Now we're discussing wether the new pop star or the old rock band are able to sell 50k 200€-tickets by themselves... But festivals should be much more and NOS Alive used to be much more than this, only a few years ago.

Yup sounds about right... Now where's the Sounds from the dance tent? 

I think they do, yes.    Yup. Same for Fontaines DC.
