What this line up is missing, is some big riffs! We need Deftones and a couple of other heavy acts to readdress the balance!

Agreed!

Deftones, ATDI and Slaves are all possible and would make me very very happy. Not that it's not already a great lineup but would provide a nice bit of variety.

Ok, if festivals in Portugal never share acts then we can rule out quite a few, which I know people have done already.

......

I'm not sure what all this shows (apart from I have too much time on my hands). Any acts that are touring could get taken by other events the same weekend or could get taken by one of the other festivals in Portugal. Very difficult to predict who we could get for NOS Alive. Hopefully they have a few more names lined up. Today's announcement of Carlão doesn't seem to bode too well. People have commented on the FB page (translated), 'It's that part where you run out of money and meet the rest of the poster with straw', 'Get more than a week without announcing anything to announce this...'

New Order are potentially available on the 8th but the NOS Alive line up seems pretty full that day already.

 

[kipper64]

I guess it just depends, if ticket sales are going as well as some suggest then I'd have thought they'd announce more of the bigger acts to push towards a sell out - maybe they'll leave that for the end of the month when people are generally paid to push for a big amount of sales though?

[GuyGG]

And what about Editors and Crystal Fighters? They don't have any gigs that rule them out...

[ParanoidTourist]

I'm hoping for Massive Attack and/or Suede.

Kendrick is headlining Superbock, so you're wasting your time with that one.

RATATAT added to Heineken Stage 9th of July

[aj3000and12]

Interesting to see where they are slotting these new acts on the line up page of the website. http://nosalive.com/en/lineup/

Carlao above FJM and Courtney Barnett and Ratatat below Jose Gonzalez. Is it worth reading anything into these placements at all?  Have they signified anything in previous years in terms of playing order?

I would be up for seeing Ratatat, saw them a few years ago, good live, although last album was a disappointment.

If you refresh the page, the positions change! I really doubt Carlão would play anything other than the 5 PM slot.

Signed in from work just to say WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arcade Fire, M83 and Ratatat the same day... really hope they won't clash!

Camping 

Hi not sure I am on the right thread here but just wondered if anyone has been to NOS Alive before & camped? So excited about going & whilst I am a seasoned camper never camped abroad in heat before. If anyone has been before please share your experience 

Thanks 

[deadst4r]

Read through the rest of the thread, cheers for all the tips etc. Very useful.

Decided to book the tickets and flights last night. Girlfriend and I are heading together, line-up is amazing as everyone as has stated x1000 times. Especially for £95 

I think if Radiohead and Hot Chip clash, I will be at Radiohead. I've already seen Hot Chip twice so I need to see Radiohead for the first time. But Hot Chip are excellent. I'm sure I will get my fair of dancing from some of the other acts....

Still haven't settled on a hotel/hostel/apartment.

If anyone has any recommendations for (relatively) cheap accommodation near cais do sodre, please shout! I'd prefer a private room, not dorm if possible.

(seems anything near the festival site is sold out or an absolute fortune, so I think we'll be happy to get the train in and out each day/night)

Thanks for this, it's sold out though. (on my dates)

I shall continue my research, there are absolutely loads but I just haven't decided on one yet.

Does anyone know if Lisbon is relatively safe to walk through at night? (sorry for such a touristy question ). Most of the hostels I can find are about a 15 minute walk from Cais do Sodre.

Lisbon has some of the best hostels in the world so I'm sure you'll find something. Hostelworld is a good site to check out

Hey deadst4r,

If it's any help, I got a whole apartment that sleeps 5 (only 3 of us going) and that was £328 for the whole week and we're a 10 minute walk from Cais do Sodre! 

I would thoroughly recommend really spending some time digging through Air BnB as there are still some really decent and cheap options going about.

Disclosure for Super Bock Super Rock! I surely won't miss them

Still a few good bands to be added! I don't want TLSP just because I will see them at Sziget, but I guess it's almost a certainty?

Edited February 18, 2016 by Noeliam

[Finge]

That is good news. Disclosure played NOS last year so we were already 99% sure they would not come. But it fills up a high spot at Super Bock Super Rock so less chance they book a name that NOS also wanted to have.

[Richi1988]

Surely must be due a main stage announcement tomorrow!? Been over 2 weeks since anything for NOS stage now. Can anyone remember when the line up is usually finished? 

[Idioteque18]

Booked tickets, flights and an apartment a few weeks ago for this, as everyone has already said the line up is CRAZY GOOD. I fly back the Sunday afternoon, after it ends, and have bought tickets to see The Last Shadow Puppets in Manchester that night. After their gig, i have to drive for 3 hours that night back to Birmingham (UK) for college the next morning. Can anyone confirm or tell me if these rumours i've read about The Last Shadow Puppets are true, so maybe i could cancel those Manchester tickets?

They're just a strong rumour at the moment, don't cancel your tickets based on our hopeful ramblings!

I won't just yet then, thanks! Here's hoping though, even though i can't believe what i've seen announced already!

There's still a spot for them, between M83 and AF (although the running order could be TLSP>AF>M83...>Ratatat on Heineken :D)!
