I agree with the last two posts!

How many international bands are yet to be announced do we reckon?

Looking at previous years it's 5 mainstage acts and 9 2nd stage acts each day, so that is 5 main and 14 2nd TBA.

First day always has 5 international names on the main, with quite big openers (Stereophonics, Ben Howard, The Wombats). 2nd and 3rd day the chance is quite big we'll get a local name as main opener. So my guess is 3 international names for the main TBA (1 for day 1 and 2 for day 3 since we only got 2 for that day). 2nd stage has 1-4 Portugese acts per day, 7/8 in total I estimate, with Paus and Carlao we already have 2 of them.

Thank you

We can still have a few good names then!!
The only portuguese-singing I know (brasilian though) are Thievery Corporation (14-17 july in Czech Republic) and Flavia Coelho (17 july in France) ! Hope they come!

Of interest The Last Shadow Puppets have been announced to play the Saturday at TiTP. Seemed like if they were to play NOS Alive that day is where they would fit in. So I think the likeliness of them playing has just dropped quite a lot. 

I'm not particuarly fussed about them, but I know quite a few on here would like to see them play.

Ohh nice! Maybe they are the opener for Day 1?

2 more surprise acts can be announced on NOS stage on the 9th then  that day already can't be better for my personal tastes...

Yeah, I'd say it's looking unlikely now. They don't appear to be playing 3 consecutive nights on their summer stint but they would have to do that in order to play NOS. The only glimmer of hope is that someone on here said they had info that them and Savages were due to be announced.

Yes, the info seemed good. But Savages were announced for NOS primavera and TLSP seem less and less likely...

Well, I don't mind losing them over AF or whatever else she predicted

Still, that means that some band we didnt even talk about could come... I hope for Biffy Clyro!

Great, they are announcing again!

..but it's friday  did they ever announce on the weekend?

[aj3000and12]

Oddly timed little one off announcement.  I would go and see them but I can't imagine it would change anyone's mind over buying tickets. 

[Richi1988]

To be fair I'm pretty happy they're announcing the lesser known bands now, that way there's still some exciting announcements (hopefully!) to come as the festival draws closer.

[yaniv297]

Calexico are a great live band, really.

I really hope so too. Would be happy with the following: Iggy Pop, Beck, Garbage, Manic Street Preachers. Also Paul McCartney but that's not likely to happen.

I'm new to this festival and when line-ups get announced, sorry to be a pain, but could anyone tell me what type of acts have been announced around this time past years? What big acts have been announced after the headliners in other years?

It's hard to tell a pattern. Disclosure, which were headliners last year were announced in the middle of March. Mogwai and Chromeo at the end of March. Django Django announced at the beginning of April - by this time almost all acts were announced... Not sure it helps much, but by the end of March we should all have most acts announced...

Churches and Tallest Man on Earth ruled out. Playing Vodafone Paredes de Coura.

+ Biffy Clyro

Not something I'm all too excited about, but a good announcement nonetheless...

[cammie81]

I'm happy with Biffy. Just keeps getting better.

[visdave34]

They will play on Thursday July 7, so that probably completes the NOS Stage for that day (and confirms Chems and Pixies as co-headliners).

Just 2 names confirmed for NOS stage on Saturday 9th, I'm curious what will be added there...

Me too! Had 1 opportunity to see them years ago but opted for someone else regretfully. I think you'll know more songs than you realise. Great announcement!!!
