Grimes/M83 clash would be horrendous. Hopefully they don't but if they do I hope to see one at Glasto... but even that looks unlikely at the moment :/

They play on the same stage so hopefully you will see them both! Will you miss Arcade Fire though?

I thought Grimes was on the Heineken?

100% watching Arcade Fire! I'm listening to 'Laika' as I type this funny enough

Oh yeah sorry I'm wrong!

How likely are Radiohead and Two Door Cinema Club to clash?

I was in the 2013 edition of the festival and in one of the days, there was a similar situation: Green Day (followed by Steve Aoki) playing on the main stage and Vampire Weekend on the Heineken Stage.

Green Day played for about 2.5 hours and I was able to still see a part of the Vampire Weekend set on the other stage (even though it was packed...).

Fortunately i was already able to see TDCC in 2013 too, butI'm afraid I won't be able to repeat the experience this year (if they clash, I'll have to go with Radiohead...). What do you guys think?

 

P.S. I know nothing's official, we're all just speculating at this moment

2.5 hours for Green Day. Fuck, that's a lot of 3 minute songs.

At least half of that is a guy called Billie Joe mocking rednecks.

When I saw Green Day in 2013 (first gig where they played Dookie in full, unexpected) Bille didn't mock rednecks but he did say 1292 times: LET'S GET CRAAAAAZY TONIGHT!

Yeah, half of Green Day gigs is Billie screaming 'Wheeeeeeyoooooo' and the other half is him shooting t-shirts into the crowd. I still enjoy it each time though.

Was that Dookie set at Brixton by any chance? That was a sweaty affair.

No, no. In Serbia  I remember that roadies taped the setlist on the floor 30 minutes before the show and then while Ramones song was played just before the start one roadie had to run on stage and take old and put new ones on the floor. I thought they were going to play some new song from Uno, Dos, Tres. But no, they played Dookie!

Hi everyone!

Please could you tell me if there is any chance to buy Friday tickets? I will be arriving late June and have my heart set on going there! 

[siweltrebor]

I can't believe I didn't jump on this before it was too late, easily the best lineup in Europe this summer for my tastes, i have no interest in going Friday and Sunday without the Saturday, love Portugal as well, damn damn damn.

[Festival_Hayleigh]

I have two questions:

1) Folks in the UK who've bought a full festival ticket, when do you expect they'll arrive? I bought mine through Planet Festival.

2) To those who are travelling over and spending the week in Lisbon prior to NOS - What's your plans? Do you have any idea of what you're getting up to prior to the festival?

Thanks

My friends and I are flying from Belgium, and we're gonna stay in Lisbon from the 6th till the 14th... We're staying in an apartment (airbnb) in the neigbourhood of cais de sodre! So I think its going to be a combination of a city trip and the festival, and we also wanna check the beaches, like cascais for example...

I ordered mine with Festicket and they said it should be with me no later than two weeks before.

I'll be getting to Lisbon on the Tuesday night and staying until the Monday. Looking forward to exploring the city and getting to the beach at Cascais a few times. I'm staying in Bairro Alto too which is apparently the best area for bars and stuff so there will be plenty of late nights I'm sure.

They announced that the line-up already has all the bands and it is "closed" and that the rest of the names will be announced in the next two weeks.

It's about time to announce the rest of the names then

[thomas9790]

Just add the Avalanches and the Last Shadow Puppets. They won't, but wouldn't that be fucking great?

[TomViolence]

Fuuuuck. I just read that as "They just added..."

Hope one of them gets added though.

[aj3000and12]

Would be nice to have an addition this week. How many more international names do you think we have left? 

Could the rest of line up be local bands? 

[aj3000and12]

Four Tet, Erol Alkan, Pional, and Floating Points amongst others have just been announced for Bilbao BBK. Along with other recent announcements the undercard for Bilbao is really very good now.

[ParanoidTourist]

What about Richard Ashcroft? He hasn't announced that many dates this summer.

Bought three 3day tickets + camping though Seetickets but can't go now. Can't get a refund either.

It should be easy enough to sell them on, right?

I've just tried to send you a message but not sure if it worked. I'll potentially take them. Just need to check whether I can return my others. Can you give me 24 hours?

[TomViolence]

Radiohead's manager says the new album will be out in June!

Hi mate, would definitely be interested in buying these from you.  Have sent you a PM.
