the same portuguese website that said New Order were coming to Nos Primavera Sound, has said now that they will play Nos Alive instead. https://blitz.sapo.pt/principal/update/2018-11-26-Agente-Infiltrado-New-Order-desviados-para-o-NOS-Alive

Blitz is not a very credible source in some things, so don't be surprise if they end up not playing in Portugal at all ? but, in my opinion, this time, they'll probably right and I can see New Order playing the same night as The Cure.

yeah sure.

last year, around november, they spoke about nick cave playing primavera, so they still have some credibility ?

In about 10 leaks they gave  during  last couple of years,   they only got it right with Nick Cave

I can see Florence and The Machine hedlining easily, I don´t know why some of you think that that´s not possible, they headlined BBK last year, they headlined Glastonbury once and from what I see they´ll headline Rock Werchter. 

Speaking about TSP, I think they are co headliners with Bon Iver, and it will be the strongest day to compensate for not having a very big headliner like Pearl Jam like last time.

Somebody here mentioned Strokes, didn´t hear about them doing festivals, but who knows.

Also I think this will be a consistent line up for Nos Alive,  but it will be not as good and as big as last year.

Are any of the rumoured acts Pearl Jam size in Portugal? Kendrick, Strokes, Florence, Neil Young etc?

I've sorted my flights out for it. Was going to sort the tickets out when I get paid next week but I might leave it till the end of January if there's no chance of an early sell out like last year.

I'm biased (see my avatar) but Neil is a total legend wherever he plays. Not heard him rumoured but he has played before and were he to play we're in for a treat.

Neil Young playing BST in London on the Friday of NOS. Would this rule him out for the Thurs or Sat ?

Waiting for another act to be anounced tomorrow.

...or do you have some inside info? ?

My thoughts so far - TSP/Bon Iver seems like a weak-ish co-headline structure similar to last year's QOTSA/The National. If we get a bigger name for the day though... (anyway, I need a good name or two more to buy the tickets)

Nice gap for a NOS appearance

Played 3 Sold out Brixton shows and an Ally Pally date in the space of a year so pretty big in the UK at least

She is amazing. She plays cosmic guitar solos, a bit in an Eddie Hazel style (Parliament /Funkadelic) with reggae vibes. Perfect for Sagres Stage

Decent act, one I'd definitely go and see and not even taking up a main stage slot, so no complaints from me!

Weezer would be great too and looks likely with those dates, really hope we get another big name before Christmas because it's meant to be my Christmas present off the mrs so she may have some last minute shopping to do if not

Monday, Wednesday... Friday?

That’s a fine xmas present

Tash is a wonderful addition. Wouldn't mind getting Mogwai too. 

We should get another headliner in about a week, if last year's announcements are annything to go by (they announced Pearl Jam on Dec 1st). 

[stylishkids]

No idea who this Tash Sultana is. Though I can have no complaints of a Sagres stage act. I might give her a listen at some point to see if she’s any good.

Smashing Pumpkins are a fantastic addition though for me. Didn’t want to fork out the Wembley arena prices but their addition at a 3 day 150 quid festival is great. Guessing they’ll have the 9 o’clock slot with Bon Iver going after the headliner around half 1. 

Hoping that there’s a few more additions in the next fortnight. Nothing out of the blue. At this moment in time I’d be ecstatic with Vampire Weekend, Weezer and the 1975 who are all about that week.

So probable acts to be announced are: Weezer, The 1975, Florence and The Machine and Vampire Weekend.

Still very weak comparing to last edition, but I think they have 1/2 huge names in their sleeves that can be either Strokes or Neil Young or another names that we´re not waiting.

Also I remember that for Nos Alive 2016 they announced 2 headliners in January, only a few people expected Radiohead to be announced, and nobody expected Arcade Fire and Tame Impala, so I hope they will surprise us.

The Cure - Bon Iver- Smashing Pumpkins - Tash Sultana is not a weak start compared to last edition, it's even a super strong start... In the possible acts you quote, only one (F+TM) could be headliner in NOS Alive. With all headline acts in Europe next summer, no doubt that NOS Alive will have once again one of the best bills in Europe

Someone knows possibilities of the group Nothing But Thieves?

No idea, but i would love to

I guess we could realistically count on about a third of that poster doing NOS Alive too.

We already have Bon Iver, The Cure, TSP and Tash. The National ruled out. I'd love Greta van Fleet, Mogwai, Wolfmother and the Hives.

This is pure speculation, of course.

[Bromhead]

Possibly another announcement tomorrow? Every two days?
