young_contra Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 That NOS Clubbing stage is such a waste. It's awkwardly located between the main and Sagres stages and it brings ABSOLUTELY nothing to the festival unless all you care about is staring at the abyss while dancing with a drink in your hand. You can totally do that whenever and wherever every friday night. I'm sounding a bit harsh but it boggles my mind how THIS is what they have to announce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moz4pm Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I disagree. While there might be nothing noteworthy on there I've found it to be a nice place to hang out between bands with some background music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment it just feels so tacked on with portuguese artists that you can catch easily at other times throughout the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moz4pm Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I actually wouldn't mind Robbie Williams. Always been a guilty pleasure and the guy knows how to play to a big audience. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hmol Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 For anyone who's been to Nos Alive before what's it like getting into the festival? Are the queue times very long? Also if I use the transport to/from Cais do Sodre will this be crazy busy with people crowding on? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's some info around regarding travel Hmol - I've definitely read some myself about trains etc. being really busy and taking things like an hour to board. I've booked accomodation within half an hours walk for that reason, but others might have more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the campsite, take a bungalow if you need comfort; shuttle buses are really nice. And the queue is amazing with musicians playing at the entrance. And not long at all. It's not as fast as a small festival, but better than many major European festivals. Now when you are inside the festival, there are maximum 5min queues for drinks at most crowded hours. And you can pee easily. I recommend to eat at 7pm, when there is no one in the queue. Various queues for food depending on when you want to eat.

It will be crowdy but you can breathe. I only suggest you to buy transport tickets in advance or in another station, because there are queues at the machines in Cais Do Sodre station. There's a queue at the festival entrance due to security controls, but it's usually not so long and with a band playing right on the entrance. During the night, if you want to come back to the station before 4 am, you have to walk for more then 1 km, because the shortest way is closed due to security reasons (it would be dangerous with many people inside).

Colouring Book Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Bob Moses is good. Is he playing a DJ set or live band? Listen to Tearing Me Up as a starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
