Just came back from the hospital after a renal colic and all I can say is I will miss having a cold beer going down my throat

Oh dear, when did that come on? Hope you feel better

I'm now starting to worry slightly re the four-hour bike ride I've signed up for on Thurs morn/lunchtime...

Out of the blue this afternoon, it's absolutely crippling - thank you!

I'm used to standing covered by the main stage's shadow so I won't feel the temperatures too much, at night it can still be a little bit fresh. However, I sure as hell am not used to Lisbon's high temperatures, hopefully I won't sweat my clothes off

Hope you feel better soon, you’ve spent long enough getting excited/frustrated by the festival that you deserve to enjoy it!

I thought Lisbon was roasting today nevermind Thursday so I’ve for no idea how I’ll cope with the heat then. Is Porto generally a bit cooler? I’m heading there on Sunday after the festival and something slightly cooler than Lisbon would be ideal.

Yup, Porto is usually cooler! Much more relaxed in that sense
 

Thank you all for the positivity ❤️

Yes, much cooler. Went there early June for Primavera a few years ago and it barely got past 16 (still nice and sunny though).

Damn I hope it doesn't take too long to recover! Take care! (and beer isn't important, you can try the other drink...)

I cannot get the timeline up on the app. Still says coming soon.

I’ve never felt so un-informed!

Last year the madcool app was great!

Can anyone post me the link to the timelines as I can’t find them on the webpage either. 

Thanks

The timetables are on the lineup section if that's what you're referring to. If you really do mean the "timeline", I must say that it is pretty useless in the app, it gives you no information as to how long the sets will be, it basically only marks the beginning of each concert, it leaves out the info regarding each one's duration. Pretty silly

Just on my way to the airport.

I’ve had a flashback, one year, some lads on the Liverpool flight had their tent robbed, along with everything in it. Left them with just the clothes they were wearing!

[clasher]

Just exchanged my tickets for wristbands at Alegro Alfragide shopping centre. Took literally 45 seconds. 

[Chinaski_]

Exciting that it's all kicking off tomorrow. I'll be leaving at silly o'clock in the morning. See you all down the front! 

[Homer]

Anyone know if they accept cards or is cash better? Ta!

[young_contra]

Looks like Bon Iver's new album will be announced tomorrow, hopefully something special might be played this saturday!!

First time going to NOS Alive (and Lisbon..) this year. Any tips or anything I should be watching out for?

Definitely swing by the Time Out market for food at some stage. Its very near Cais de Sodre. Also the sangria at the festival...dont miss that.

And that first cold beer under the blue sunny skies of Portugal, just as Weezer bounce into view?

[kingcrawler]

My new favourite thing about the festival’s strange methods of communication is that we knew H.E.R. had cancelled her European tour at least a couple of months ago but they still have a big picture of her on the train doors here  

I’m really looking forward to the festival now. Had a great time exploring the city over the last couple of days but can’t wait for things to properly start tonight.

What is the best way to get to the shopping center? Can't see any obvious transport links on my map. 

Today is sure to be excellent, lots of personal faves on today, a solid 8 hours of top class music!

I assume your starting point is the camp? We walked, it's about 15mins. The only alternative I guess is Taxi/Uber.
