Am I the only one who thinks the (fake) AM instagram clue is suspiciolusly similar (color scheme, coordinates, animation) to the clues we were getting on the MC instagram?

Colour scheme was completely different, wasn't it? And they probably nicked the coordinates idea from Mad Cool.

[clasher]

Well, both were purple-ish with white text, but the similarities end there, I admit.

Mad Cool did that teaser thing a day before announcing new acts. If they would do that for AM too, we won't expect an annoucement for tomorrow. Which is in line with the earlier hint at new acts in late-January. 

On the other hand, AM is not really a secret anymore... Maybe they will try and throw us off a couple of times by announcing different acts following clues.

They teased pearl jam by teasingly displaying 'ten' and then announcing ten acts, not sure how they could do it with Arctic monkey s

Next Mad Cool announcement is next week. They were gonna have one this week (potentially including a headliner) but they decided to push it back. Can see us getting both AM and JW next week.

To sum up the last 10 pages of that forum (only what Bar said):

-the 100sqm surface (metioned on their website) was meant for public use (so excluding the surface of stages, stands etc). They are gonna expand it further, but not increase the number of people

-new names next week, "more than two, but equal in size... he thinks" to start with (there was also a comment that makes me think they will announce something on a day that has two e-s, so wednesday, thursday or friday - and certainly not monday or tuesday )

-he also posted "4467788 + - "
nope, me neither.

Yeah I'm doing the same, already been told be the Mrs. I can leave her in the hotel Also making the same assumptions that the best we can hope for is being in Spain when Spain make the final, the England players will be home before we leave for Mad Cool!

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah I'm supporting Spain now

Portugal winning the Euro in 2016 was the cherry on top of NOS Alive's magnificent lineup! I high fived a thousand portuguese people that night

Last week of May, according to Google.

Though it's just a matter of asking Bar Tool. Which I guess it has already been done.

I was watching the game on the main square big screen, absolute madness. About a hundred locals hugged me. I was probably one of 10 people without a c. ronaldo kit on me. Getting stuck in a traffic jam while the team bus drove the other way less than two lanes away was a bit of whipped cream on top of that cherry. Realizing Iron Maiden have a gig in Lisbon while at Oceanario the next day and attending it was the chocolate that covered the cream  Fond memories of Lisbon, I have.

Certainly what I'm hoping for. Was fortunate enough to be in Lisbon for NOS Alive when Portugal won the Euros.

Fever. Pitch.

I was going to book my return flight for Sunday but it will be big hassle to find a taxi/uber if Spain reaches the Final and their group is much easier compared to 2014
