On the Mad Cool poster they are even below Bon Iver on the first day. They'll sub, or at best co-headline (with another two roughly equally big names on the main stage that day). Oh I meant a third headliner as in a new headliner for the third day (The Cure - ? - that new "third headliner") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hullabaloo92 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Since The Prodigy are playing Dr. Music Festival on the same weekend, I can see them as a possible contender.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Iver play with a full band and are amazing live. They deserve close to top billing here and you won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampire Weekend will probably have two bands playing after them. For me, it's a little bit obvious that the last headliner will be the same as the band that will co-headline with Bon Iver at Mad Cool. Maybe a second big band will be add... but Vampire Weekend is not a name I'm seeing opening for the headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller font of other acts could just as well be due to the length of the names though ? wouldn't read too much into it, there's still a lot to come.

young_contra Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I've been dreaming about Kanye being here ever since he retweeted someone asking for a KSG tour.

Tremousse Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Coachella means nothing for any festival... They don't think like a festival... They only take the top artists in the charts and the biggest views on YouTube and make a lineup with it nowadays... Tame Impala are headlining because of Justin Timberlake and Kanye West's last minute cancelation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplewes Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Only meant it as they'd be big enough to do it. Take the point NOS Primavera Sound is more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
festivalguy97 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 If Tame Impala don´t make it to Nos Primavera I bet they´ll headline Nos Alive. It would be a strange headliner because the last time they played in 2016 at Nos Alive, they had the same music and albums and they were mid tears, but they are headlining Coachella and Primavera, two biggest festivals in the world so it would be logical for them to be headliners at Nos Alive if they don´t end up at Porto.

They are headline-sized for Primavera but not yet for NOS Alive. Not bigger than Bon Iver at the moment. Nevertheless they'd be a good sub for The Cure. They headline Coachella because of Kanye West's last minute cancelation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joaommaia Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) They will be a "hedliner material" for this festival soon, but not now. Co-headliners maybe, but headling alone no way. I'm still 99% sure NOS Alive and Mad Cool will share headliners with the exception of The National. Last year, they had one more headliner (Depeche Mode), so I guess the same will happen this year. Unfortunately for my wallet, Tame Impala will almost certainly headline NOS Primavera Sound. For this, I don't have any bets and that scares me a bit.

Tremousse Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 So RHCP and Mumfords ruled out of Mad Cool (cf the other thread) Predictions evolve... With the tryptic 2007 - 2001 - 1986, I expect Florence + The Machine (2007), a Black Keys comeback (2001), and the third one (1986)... Drake/Green Day/Lady Gaga?

Mumford were ruled out from the beggining at Nos Alive because they already have a show this year in Portugal. Haven´t heard any news about RHCP and SOAD (people were talking about them) so they are also ruled out. At this point Florence, Black Keys, Interpol and Tame Impala are big headliner/co headliner contenders, let´s wait and see what will happen but in my opinion we´ll get at least 2 of those names.
