Talk of a fourth stage I think

Scrap that, they have four normally on two of the days. Maybe using all the stages on all three days.

yeah, that's what i thought

I wish they did something on the casa da musica on the Sunday. That was a pretty special way to end the festival.

Overall it is what we were expecting, minus Thom Yorke. I am happy with the line-up! hope they use more stages in the first day so we have the full experience during the 3 days

Damn that's a stunning idea. Are they doing Unexpected at Porto these days??

I remember in the past there sometimes being nothing worth watching on the first day so this is a big step forward. 

A choice of one is a bit limiting!

let's not get high expectations, because for sure it won't happen 

but who knows, they can come to portugal outside the festival.. and casa da musica would be a great place

[xxialac]

For anyone who knows the Portuguese scene, what's the outstanding Portuguese band on the lineup?

black bombaim, luis severo, solar corona are good. and moullinex to party

[antoniopinho]

I think Moullinex is worth it, was expecting Linda Martini in the line-up though

Obrigado!

Chuffed, hoping to head down for it.

Amusing to think about what a total omnishambles yesterday evening was. They must have spent a lot of time making the video and then completely ruined it with bad organisation and a botched announcement.

We still don't have a day breakdown (though we do have the news item - looks like nothing happening of note on Wednesday or Friday).

It's a great line up. Really, really solid under-card. For me, it's taken most of the best bits from Primavera (Barcelona) and left out a lot of the rubbish.

Aside from the live stream going down yesterday, thought the way they announced the line up was great too.

What's the rubbish you're referring to? I'm curious because I see a uniformly terrific lineup (and undercard especially) at Barcelona.  OK, I don't care for Migos (or Arctic Monkeys much) but otherwise it looks pretty classy.

Jamie XX confirmed as being present as a DJ.

To me, that is not someone who should be on the second line of the poster of a festival that has such quality.

[bananaa52]

anyone knows anything about the days organization?

from nick cave facebook he says he's playing on the 9th

[scrippit]

Not bad at all. Looking forward to it now.

Will there be any further additions?

[xxialac]

Does anyone think/know whether Porto will have the same 'unexpected' concept as Barcelona and some last minute surprise bands added?

Last year they made last minute additions in the day before of the festival in a «NPS goes to the night of Porto or similar» with several artists (most of them electronic stuff)  in several spaces of the night of Porto https://www.engenhariaradio.pt/2017/05/nos-primavera-sound-programacao-extra-dia-7-junho/

 

They don´t usual make the «unexpected» stuff like Barcelona does with big names

[Johnny Shelby]

Since there's no Thomas Yorke, which bands are NOS PRIMAVERA PORTO exclusive?

Barcelona has only been doing Unexpected since last year and Hidden Stage since the last five years.

I don't think realistic to think they would construct a new stage but maybe they could hold a big(gish) name back to follow the unexpected trend. Someone like Deerhunter perhaps.

The bands are pretty decent but not big names, any of them - Amen Dunes, Talaboman, some DJs (including Jamie XX) and some good Portuguese bands. 

But it's disappointing they couldn't even find one big interesting name like Thom Yorke.

I'm really happy about Amen Dunes, but a bit disappointed they missed the chance to get Lykke Li, (Sandy) Alex G, Ty Segall, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Panda Bear, Oneohtrix Point Never, Chromeo, Car Seat Headrest or even Hinds.
