Because every festival will announce AM on Monday, there are like 10-15 festivals to announce AM at the same time.

 

Obviously there is an embargo.

Yeah I know, hard to miss that on this forum  Sorry for the confusion, that's what I meant with the 'otherwise'; would be strange if NOS isn't one of the festivals that will supposedly announce AM on Monday. Of course, as of yet, NOS hasn't indicated an announcement next Monday, nor has Mad Cool.

Mad Cool will do it either today or Sunday, 2PM MAD time.

Expecting that too. Most interested in what the tease will be like this time... Can't be too obvious, just something to cause some confusion. 

Maybe I should take the Monday off. Won't be very productive, also depends on what surprises PS may bring.

Has anyone ruled out iggy pop. Although I reckon 2 of catfish and the bottlemen, stereophonics, james bay or James makes up the rest of the international names on the main stage now.

Ruled out from Mad Cool, for what it's worth. 

When did this happen?

[cc1989]

Reading through other threads on here and seeing that arctic monkeys will be playing Porto instead of Lisbon?

Could be... All those different rumours are a bit strange, so no simple answer. We'll just have to wait. Don't get your hopes up too high for a (headliner) annoucement for tomorrow. 

Combining Porto and Lissabon does not seem very likely. But neither does PS and Mad Cool.

If it's not AM, we probably get another amazing Thursday headliner, maybe better than AM.

I guess thar AM are “too much” for the usual NOS Primavera Sound’s line-up. However, lately, these rumours have made me question if this band is really going to be the final headliner of NOS Alive.

Looks like they're back in then anyway. Here's hoping the final major pieces come together this week.

[cc1989]

Primavera line up out. Sziget and werchter have a reveal today. Open'er and best kept secret also to add something today I believe.  This would be funny if all this time mad cool and nos alive were rumoured for arctic monkeys, they were the notable 2 that didn't have them. And yet not funny at all. Knew I was asking for too much with nine inch nails and am haha

Thursday headliner

What are the chances of Nick Cave playing this festival?

Most likely plays Primavera Porto, so very slim. Also, where would he fit in the line-up?

I’m no fan of him so wouldn’t be a great addition for me. I’d guess when you take into account ticket price and what we have already,  it’s maybe unrealistic to think we’ll get more big names. You never know though

None. Someone from the group's organization already gave out the information that they'll be playing at NOS Primavera Sound. The lineup is stacked as is, he'd have no place to fit in.

[StupidDream]

On the English version of the NOS Alive website, the News updates from today and last Friday state that they also announced "Last Internacional" to play on the Saturday (14 July). I assume they actually mean "The Last Internationale", which would make sense as they also play Mad Cool on the Thursday. However, I can't find any official announcement. Moreover, it erraneously states Sampha would play on Saturday while he's announced for the Thursday. 

Back in 2014 The Last Internationale played main stage, maybe now in the tent? Marmozets played main in 2015 and is also in the tent now, so maybe it is just thanks to the stacked line-up this year. This edition seems very international so far, compared to previous editions. Although Portugese acts may (usually) be announced on a later stage.

Edit: It's here and here, and made screens in case they remove it.

Any chance we can have Tame Impala, Kasabian or Massive Attack?

Highly unlikely, for such big names I would say only some room left on the Thursday. But both Kasabian and Tame Impala are at Mad Cool that day. Massive Attack has quite a lot of gigs during that period, doubt whether they would squeeze in another.

But NOS has superprised us before. Although I don't believe they will put Kasabian with Two Door Cinema Club and The Kooks on the Friday.

Interpol is probably too big for the Thursday?
