Haha I know. I'm just wishful thinking

I think there could be, but again it’s purely wishful thinking, maybe someone off the Mad Cool announcement like Noel or Greta Van Fleet... Vampire Weekend weren’t announced by them today but would be my ideal from their current line up. Can’t see it being someone ‘new’ that is a surprise or not announced elsewhere already.

If this festival has something up its sleeve it has gotta be a name that Primavera Sound will too have. Mad Cool's lineup is pretty okay-ish in comparison to what I was expecting and I hope that NOS Alive won't disappoint.

Gang of Youths please!

In a now deleted tweet, Jorja Smith confirmed herself for the 11th so she's probably going to be tomorrow's announcement??

Good spot! Most likely that’s it for tomorrow then? Don’t know if they ever make two announcements in a day? Because that would imply she’s getting her own announcement.

Yeah, they only ever make one announcement per day. I think they once made two announcements but I can't recall when, either way it was an exception

[festivalguy97]

Mad Cool will reveal all of their lineup until the end of the year, they said that today on the press conference, so if there´s a big name under sleeve coming to Alive, we will know it in a space of one month.

Fair enough, at least we're getting announcements a bit more frequently this week, hopefully it continues!

[StupidDream]

This year we had an accidental leak but it took another one or two months for an actually confirmation... So this says nothing. But with Mad Cool it's pretty certainly anyways

Friday announcements were not that common, mainly big names if it happened. So don't get your hopes up... Expect them to confirm three or four next week... Otherwise it's really too slow  

[DarthSaul]

Jorja Smith officially confirmed now! Pretty happy with her

[clasher]

They finally appear to have fixed the dates on the lineup page. Although all five of them are still listed for both the 11th and 13th, while Tash is also on 12th. ?

Florence will be at BST on 13th. Bring LCD Soundsystem on that day!

LCD aren't touring in 2019.

[diogozsz]

Since Florence, The National and Lykke Li are @ BST on the 13th, maybe they (Florence & Lykke) could do NOS on the 11th and since The National are @ Mad Cool on the 12th they could join that day too. Are three show days in a row too much?

The National played NOS Alive last year, playing Paredes de Coura in Portugal.

That's why I explicitly said "(Florence & Lykke)" while talking about NOS Alive.

Florence will probably headline both Mad Cool and Nos Alive if she is the headliner but it looks unlikely due to tight schedule. They might still do one of them but BST is much important for them then a headlining slot at Mad Cool/Nos Alive, so we might consider that she is out.

Camping appears to now be available on the NOS website

[stylishkids]

Florence definitely won’t do 3 different countries, 3 days on the bounce. Suppose there’s a chance she could play the Friday at Nos Alive and do BST on the Saturday and miss Mad Cool out. Can’t see it though.

Stayed in a Bungalow my last trip to Nos at the camping site. Alas that was back in 2012. It was ok. The pool was a nice plus but it was rammed back then. Probably be even worse this time. Going for a hostel this year. Ideally placed for things to do during the day and for the few days post fest we’ll still be in Lisbon

From last years, it's clearly the best festival campsite I've ever been to... 3 stars, a lot of friends met there, (not just festival friends, real friends even now) beautiful weather, Decathlon 200m away so that you can buy a palace for 35€.... (double inflatable bag, 3 persons - tent, pump)... + You sleep like a baby (not noisy after show) and party at the bar til 7am. And restaurant, market... Heaven

It is a decent campsite yeah I agree. And the shopping centre 5 minutes away was nice. There was literally no wait on each day for the shuttle bus to take you to the festival too which was good.

The negatives outweigh the positives in my book compared to a hostel though for us. I’d much prefer sleeping in a bed in an air conditioned room than in a sleeping bag in Portugal in July. It’s 5 miles from Lisbon centre and Bairro Alto which is where we like to go on a night so out of the way for us. The bungalows were nothing more than ok. As I’d mentioned the pool was rammed. We also prefer to eat out so being in the centre with plenty of bars and restaurants are for ideal really. We’re there from the 10th to the 17th so need to think about the days around the festival too.

It’s a good festival campsite but with Lisbon being pretty cheap and the large selection of accommodation available we’ve decided to go for something else. I’m sure if you picked the campsite you’d still have a cracking time

For those who were questioning (me included) what's the status of TSP, I found a sponsored poster on fb that put them just below The Cure and above Bon Iver, unfortunately I didn't save it
