Looking at those early clash finders it seems as though there are still quite a few bands left to be announced for the Heineken stage. To be honest I hope the rest of the bands announced are pants otherwise it's going to be clash city, and I'm over the moon with how it looks so far. 

Also, last time Radiohead played they went for about 2 hours, so it's safe to assume they will get the same length set. One of those draft clash finders has Radiohead down for 90 minutes which is quite the underestimation.

Maybe those gaps are for Radiohead secret sets.

Might see them poping up in the comedy tent or at the entrance.

If it's good enough for Glastonbury...

Maybe they will play a different album in full at each secret set, until they've gone through the entire discography.

The Pablo set is going to be dead.

Boys Noize is a great addition

Welp, I'd say I'm pretty on board with seeing this live.

Had a massive panic this morning. Received an email about my flight letting me know it's been rescheduled....(anxiety begins).…...by 10 minutes

I've got everything booked and planned for the festival already so I don't need anything to go wrong now

That's why I like to arrive a day before

In 2012 same situation, going to a festival in France, they CANCELED (not rescheduled) the flight without notice (we were at the airport) but we took the next flight... 12h after. I had programed a day in the city before and that's what we missed ^^

I made the mistake last year by going the same day and rushing to get there on time, was absolutely ruined by 10pm! Really hope the clashfinder I looked at is right: Radiohead>TDCC>Hot Chip that would be immense for me! If not I reckon it's gonna be like a private showing for TDCC!

[Noeliam]

Is it possible to walk from the festival ite to the Lisbon camping? I guess not after a full festival day at 4am... but I'd like to stay until the last act finishes and don't want to wait for a bus for an hour.

For now my program, but there are 2 different clashfinders... let's say it's still possible:

Biffy - Wolf Alice - Pixies - Chemicals - 2manydj's. and maybe the 1975 if I come early.

Foals - Tame Impala - Radiohead - Hot Chip

Band of Horses - M83 - Arcade Fire - Ratatat - Boys Noize (if possible for the last 2).

Anyone know what time the official times were released last year?

Wow that's really bad! Luckily I'm travelling on the Tuesday, coming back the Monday after the festival so it wouldn't affect the festival so much just other travel plans.

We've booked a week in Portugal so hopefully we're immune to any cheeky flight rescheduling! Glad to hear it's only 10 minutes though...that could be a real pain the arse.

A friend of mine is still dithering about booking her flights. I've been to festivals with her for 4 out of the past 5 years and it wouldn't be the same if she didn't show up. I can just see her waiting too long to the point it's too expensive to go. She keeps saying the prices are going up and she's waiting for a good price...I just don't think these flights are going to get any cheaper now! I hate to think how many Brits have booked flights to Portugal that week.

Well this is the reason I've decided to stay for six nights and arrive two days before the festival so fingers crossed everything goes smoothly now. 

I'm glad I didn't hold off on booking flights, checked the price of the same flight now and it's 300 quid more! Looks like it's gonna be a busy week for Lisbon because a lot of the hotels are booked up too

I'm staying on Avenida Almirante which appears to be bloody miles away from the festival. Any locals/anyone been before who can give me pointers on the best way to get to the festival/if there is anything cool and groovy in this area. Google isn't conclusive.

You will be able to get the train to and from the festival from Cais Do Sodre station (I think they put on late trains, well at least they did when I went a few years ago)

From there it will either be a walk or taxi I imagine. See how far you are from Cais Do Sodre.

It'll be easy enought to get around in the day, especially on the metro. You'll probs be best getting the train back from the festival to cais do sodre then a taxi. Google estimates a 45 min walk and that doesn't take into account the amount steep streets to walk.

On July 7th Soulwax will be playing on Heineken Stage at ‪#‎NOSalive‬! nice

[Noeliam]

Great!!!

But I don't know about their place on the lineup and with whom they might clash!

[Justiceforcedave]

Shit man! That Friday is going to be clash central!

Fantastic. Figured it wasn't happening after they just announced a 2 Many Dj's set. 

No idea where they slot in though. Similar time to Pixies? 

Also, John Cooper Clarke was announced yesterday, quite a random booking?

[Noeliam]

I don't really know them that well; is it okay to watch them instead of Pixies if they do clash?

I think they are both pretty legendary acts, but Soulwax would likely be more entertaining live. 

Looking at previous years line-ups on the site, generally the second stage 'headliners' tend to not play at the same time as the main stage headliners, hopefully this would mean we can see both each night. Would anyone that has been before agree that this is the case?

Soulwax just announced a festival in Amsterdam on the 1st July. Wouldn't be surprised to see them announced for NOS, half of them will be there already.

Well if it wasn't the best line up I've ever seen before.....it is now.

[visdave34]

Soulwax are awesome! If they clash with Pixies, than Soulwax it will be for me...

Another question: how are prices and availability of taxi's after the festival closes? I'm allergic to overly stuffed trains, so looking for an alternative if it isn't too expensive...
