Ticketmaster Denmark. Think it was part of a Christmas promotion because they arrived in a gift box. Had to get them from there as they were sold out from everywhere else. The ticket design looks very bland and basic to what I'm used to but I'm going with it being legit as it is ticketmaster haha

Ticketmaster Denmark and Sweden scared me off because they indicated you had to collect your tickets at local offices or something. Apparently it was pretty easy. 

I bought them from Festiticket, but they say you will get the (official) tickets some weeks before NOS Alive... Really wondering why it would take so long.

What strikes me, is that of all announced acts so far, none are shared with Bilbao BBK. Usually they shared about 10 names or so although last year it was less. Sign of change of direction at BBK perhaps due to Mad Cool?

Currently NOS shares 9 names with the Mad Cool line-up (10 in total last year). Although Mad Cool has quite a great line-up, hopefully NOS will start becoming more unique. 

All i want at Nos Alive, from Mad Cool are Nine Inch Nails and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.  The are others acts i would like a share too, but with these twoo i would be completely pleased.

Not quite sure what order you mean, but if you are just referring to the line-up page I was wondering for a while now whether it had any logic to it. Obviously it starts with the biggest names, but after that... Backward chronological order of play (but with dates messed up)? Thought some things had changed before when they added a new name.

Probably some new names next week, as is expect for most festivals?

Today's the day!

Justice ruled out - playing Super Bock.

[lightsnowpatrol]

Nos have just posted an updated poster, surely expect new names this week. Still missing snow patrol and clap your hands say yeah.

Hi Guys - sadly I'm late to the party and all three day tickets are sold out (unless anyone knows where I might be able to get them)?

I notice on the website there are ticket and hotel packages which 'are not on sale yet' does anyone know if a) you can get a three day ticket as part of these packages, and also when do the packages go on sale?

 

Thanks!

Currently they explicitly state that it includes a ticket and they are 'available soon'. However, when you go to the Portugese website they don't have a page on hotel/hostel packages like in the English version. Only the Sleep' em' All tent package seems to become available in the near future, which appears to include a ticket. So I guess this doesn't help much 

I have tried to find some useful other (Portugese) festival/music fora, but this has left me empty-handed. You could just try and ask the organisation yourself. 

The presence of Pearl Jam will not make your life easy getting hold of any secondary market tickets, maybe closer to the actual festival date. So far, I can only find people who are searching for tickets and not offering any.

The Kooks have just been announced to play on the Friday. 

Edit: beat me to it. 

Fan of the early work, nice bonus I would say, not a reason to buy I ticket.

Good addition for afternoon in the sun. Hopefully this is the start of more reveals. Pearl jam sold it for me early on and Lisbon the city itself. If arctics get added it will be perfect. I'd be greedy and what nine inch nails and/or Jack white on top of that.

I'm hoping for arctic, snow patrol and vaccines, I still think we have a sub under pearl jam

Yeah I agree. No disrespect to the other artists on Saturday but there is a big gap in name power between them and pearl jam. Looking at names from mad Cool, Alice in chains or kasabian. Or even Jack white and arctics lead the bill on Thursday?

[lightsnowpatrol]

Yh that' my thinking, arctic monkeys and snow patrol Thursday with kasabian or Jack white under pearl jam fingers crossed 

[lightsnowpatrol]

Marmozets sagres stage Saturday, decent addition 

[StupidDream]

Do we expect a big 'dance' act as well, like M83, The Chemical Brothers, Disclosure and Justice in the past? Most big names seemed to be ruled out, but was stil kinda hoping for Massive Attack.
