Why would they do that at this point? Just because...?

Just because it wasn't on spotify due to record label matters or whatever, it's just an extra track from AMSP's special edition

I think the next 2 weeks will be crucial for the lineup, maybe we´ll get another headliner and some big mid tier names.

I'm hoping they'll have a packed schedule not too long from now, this has been a real dry period

They seem a good fit for the 2001 Mad Cool clue as well as the missing headliner here.

a band called Jaguar Jaguar won a portuguese  music contest this saturday, and won the right to play at Nos Alive

I really, really am hoping they don't play here

They already played here in Portugal this year, can´t see them coming back to play again as headliners, but at this time there are no other names to fill that space.

But we´ll find out on the following weeks.

I'd be okay with the Killers but have seen them. Would prefer them to Florence, and they do fit the 2001 clue.

Just not really that bothered about any of their tunes for the last 10 years or so!

[jparx]

Still think Florence and The Killers are the two remaining. Both fit the clues and look to be active next summer. Most other headline level acts that could do it seem to be ruled out at this stage. Florence would be ace. The Killers I don't really mind either way.

If it's those two then I'm out...

Would be a bit surprised as they both seem like headliners to me? I really don't want Florence Killers ambivalent. There's enough I like already though with Bon Iver, The Cure, Vampire W etc

If you're disappointed in those two, who do you actually want that's available?

Who's available as an headliner or merely as an artist? Cause as an headliner things are tough at the moment. What I was hoping for was for a name that is yet to be revealed and it's being kept as a pseudo secret due to embargo or whatever. I think that we've been waiting too long for an headliner and end up having one that was always right in front of us but for some reason kept unannounced up until january

[Tremousse]

I'd love the two of them because each time I saw them they were very good, and the atmosphere matches with NOS Alive. But... The Who... ?

[jplewes]

I think I agree with YC on that. I wanted to come NOS this year but I'm also a bit more alternative inclined, leaning towards more like Primavera Sound line ups (but bigger acts). The Cure, TSP, Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend etc are good crossovers for me and I really like Sharon Van Etten, thought Rolling Blackouts might get announced (down for Mad Cool) etc.

Florence is just not really my bag, and a bit like Young_Contra I thought she'd have been announced by now and there would be a wildcard (but agree it looks most likely still).

Yeah, as a headliner. 

Hopefully someone is being held back - that would certainly be more exciting. I just don't see someone huge coming from nowhere at this point!

[jparx]

I think Florence is nailed on tbh. She's clearly got a lot more festivals to announce based on her dates, and most of the other festivals she could play have announced their headliners. 

Hopefully the other headliner (assuming there are 2 more left to be announced?) is someone more interesting than The Killers.

I wouldn't MIND Flo, you know? It's just like I've said, you'd think she would be announced at this point. The Killers however... No thanks. Although this feels like lowering one's standards, I'd be okay with Childish Gambino or Kendrick Lamar. Again, it is a struggle to come up with headliners. It is easier to dream about them, not to realistically think of them

I'm just waiting for the day when you won't sound like a fool for thinking about a Daft Punk return...

Well, those two would be the dream for me! 

Don't even get me started on Daft Punk. Holding out on them as Glastonbury's 50th anniversary headliner. 

Flo's tour dates are very odd - she's clearly holding loads of dates back for some reason. I think she will announce a lot of dates by the end of this month/start of the next. 

[jplewes]

Kendrick or Gambino would both me ideal for me!

I agree that Florence for some reason is holding back loads of dates. I don't really understand the point when other stuff is announced?

[Homer]

Not been keeping up with the exact whys and wherefores of who is in and out, but one of The Strokes/Prodigy and about four decent undercard names and I'm in.
