[obamacares]

So the headliners of the first day are Pixies and CB????

By the way, what about Sigur Ros? ?

Would love it to be Pearl Jam but last years rumour suggested they would be in Lisbon on the 7th, which looks unlikely now. And if the Pixies and CB do co-headline on the 7th it would indicate PJ did pull out. As for the Saturday, LCD would be great but based on previous line ups they might want something heavier. 

Other possible additions based on tour schedules;

New Order

Last Shadow Puppets 

Editors 

Unknown Mortal Orchestra

[Uncle Liam]

Sigur Ros are in Eastern Europe that weekend

Bit random bit does anyone know if London Grammar are about next summer? Been listening to their first album again today and would love to see them live!

[obamacares]

London Grammar aren't touring this year.
My suggestions: Last Shadow Puppets; New Order; Editors; Beirut; Bring me the horizon and Sia
On saturday... might be something big because it is the 10th anniversary of the festival. I don't believe that they will put LCD to headline
 

[Richi1988]

Probably hoping for a bit much but if we get 2 out of 4 from Editors, Crystal Fighters, LCD Soundsystem & Last shadow puppets I think I may wet myself with excitement.

What a line up, and a city I've always wanted to visit. How is the sound at this festival? And drinks/food selection?

 

Only other fest I've been to abroad was rock werchter in 08, and although the line up was incredible the main arena was quite 'souless', you could only get Stella or Coke and the main arena was so huge the sound just got lost!

Anyone know if it's easy to score some nighttime naughty's at NOS?

To clarify, I'm referring to drugs rather than sleeping buddies.

There is a rumour running in some spanish forums that Arcade Fire will be announced next week for NOS Alive and BBK Live... Let's see if that info is reliable...

That would be unreal if it's true. Do you know where they've generated the rumour from?

[obamacares]

Aren't Arcade Fire on studio?

[home to you]

There are rumours that Arcade Fire are planning a tour... towards the end of 2017

[Dietediet]

There were stories going around about Arcade Fire doing tryout shows in the first half of this year, but pulling out before they were announced. Perhaps some festivals worked together after Pearl Jam cancelled the tour? Rock Werchter has quite some power there, and if other non-PJ rumoured festivals (BBK Bilbao, Eurockéennes) jump in on that... I'd say it's plausible.

There's a guy who says that Major Lazer are playing at the third day

Line-up so far (hope we have more news tomorrow):

Will they soon announce some new names, or is there always a lot of time between two announcements?

They've been randomly announcing individual acts over the past couple of weeks so I guess it's fair to assume they will continue to do that.

Anyone seen him live? Should we be happy with this announcement? I just checked YouTube and it sounded good to me
