I'm at work so can't check out any video right now, what are they like as a band? One of my friends said they sound like early Metallica, I'll be more than happy if that's the case.

Led Zeppelin copycat

Horrendous confirmation IMO. On the positive side of things however, it means Vampire Weekend are headlining which makes me really happy. Their latest setlists have been great and they're one of my favourite bands.

First timer this year, and we're staying in an apartment near Santa Apolonia station - chosen because that's where (I hope) the direct shuttles buses go from and to.  Anyone used these?  Is it obvious where they leave from near the station?  Are they frequent going back at night or are there set times?  And do you pay for each trip or just get a ticket for the duration.  Sorry for all the questions, there isn't a great deal of information online about the buses (there is a bit more about train/metro).  Thanks for any help.

They do sound very Led Zep. Saw them last year at Download and they were really good

Greta Van fleet remind me annoyingly of the darkness please say I'm not the only one

[alan_ts]

How many international acts to come do you think? I'm not a fan of GVF but some friends are really happy about this announcement. 

I'm still hoping for something else. 

[kingcrawler]

Not a fan of Greta Van Fleet at all but good that they’re still announcing some pretty big acts I guess. Hopefully Johnny Marr or Cut Copy are on at the same time.

[Chinaski_]

GVF remind me of Wolfmother, who were bloody awful. At least there will be time to get booze/use the bogs I suppose. 

[jambom]

By my calculations there are only a couple more Sagres stage acts to announce and only one more NOS stage depending on the length of the cure set. It is interesting to note than Greta Van Fleet were due to play on 12th at doctor music so fingers crossed they can steal a couple more!

[Blaxey]

It would be nice if they posted all the line up this week, I think we have wait too much and the festival is around the corner.

Hello,

Can we use cash at the fest or is it contactless nowadays? I went in 2016 and remember paying by cash.

 

Thanks

Can’t remember if cashless was available last year or not. We just used good old fashioned cash

Mad Cool and Bilbao BBK have both released set times now, surely this will be next...

Such optimism! :p

Maybe they're trying to shoehorn The Strokes into the lineup - I can live in hope!

Yesterday setlist of Johnny Marr. 

It looks good. 

[TheNewUnion]

That's a very strong set list. Really enjoyed his set at Pukkelpop a few years back, so will be there for sure in July.

[Bolgue]

Marr's last album is great!

How accurate is clash finder for 2019 right now? It'll be a shame for me if Weezer and Sharon Van Etten clash

0% - bar the bands that are on it I would imagine.

It's only based on guesswork and poster placings, could easily change - and I've got the same worry, that these two clash!  Only really wanting to see SVE and Robyn from the Sagres stage line up so hoping to avoid big clashes with Main.

I'm not following Mad Cool too much but get the impression they had some surprising placings compared to their poster.

[Homer]

There are no stage times so it's not accurate at all. Guesswork.

[TheNewUnion]

Feels like they've given up a bit of late. The + Many More seems an idle boast. There's enough to keep me best regardless, just need stage times to manage the inevitable clashes.
