Good lord they can't even be bothered with updating their website

I guess they just announced Gossip because a leak was already on the internet. Otherwise, I think they probably would have save them to announce after the headliner.

This might be right. Got a bandsintown push message about their tour earlier this morning. Didn't check if NOS was on there at the time, but it is now.

It was.

Anybody know if there is any possibility of potentially seeing Crystal Fighters announced?

I reckon (or better hope) that they will be announced.

Terrible addition. Got to agree that they’re a Sagres act. Scraping the barrel to put them on the main stage.

I said I wouldn’t be too worried about the lack of names till the end of March a while back. Well, here we are and that Friday is not looking good at all. The festival is still worth it for the other 2 days but if they don’t pull something out of the bag for the Friday I’d be half tempted to sack the day off and go for a night round Lisbon instead.

I’d rip your hand off for Stevie Wonder. Unfortunately I can’t see Nos going for him but that would be a fantastic headliner. Belle and Sebastian have just announced dates for early July. Get them on the Sagres on the Friday

Sadly Belle and Sebastian are playing America dates during Nos weekend.

Oh man just seen! Tour dates are organised a bit weird and back to front on their website so thought the dream was on ?

Yeah they're one of the few bands that have eluded me over the years. Stars never seem to align.

I'm not a huge fan of theirs or anything, but Gossip seems like a decent addition to me. Makes a change from the same boring bands who play every festival.

Can see The Raconteurs being the headliner or at least sub for 12 July now 

[alan_ts]

Any chance of Gesaffelstein will do some appearence in Europe next summer? He only has 3 dates in the US at the moment.

 New album is not as good as the first one but I really appreciate him live.

B52s doing a farewell tour and are in France on July 7 and no Portugal dates. Could it be them? I would happily sacrifice some children for this to happen.

Or just on the line up. No idea how big they are in Portugal tbh.

I thought they were a novelty act who had like one song. In other words I have no clue either

Sadly everyone seems to think that about them. The first couple of albums before the death of Ricky Wilson were great, but after that they went pants.

Nah - they're a novelty act who had like two songs (Rock Lobster).

I did see that on Spotify but due to not knowing it by name alone I didn't count it ?

Three - Private Idaho. Four if you count the Flintstones movie theme song too.

„Now“? Looking at their schedule it‘s seems even more unlikely than before.

[kingcrawler]

Did anyone else get the email talking about Gossip being announced and mentioning that they're "pleased to announce" the likes of Loyle Carner, Honne, The Gift etc? Some of those were announced more than two months ago  

[DarthSaul]

Robyn and Vampire Weekend are coheading a day at Roskilde with Underworld so maybe we're underestimating this lineup 

[alan_ts]

From North see Jazz Festival

Unfortunately we received the message that H.E.R. has cancelled her European tour and will not perform at North Sea Jazz this year.

 

Didn't find any official statement but I think Nos Alive as well. 

[Tremousse]

Who's the next one? Loyle Carner? I'm starting to believe there's a curse with rap and r'n'b acts cancelling their tour dates... 

Bring back rock'n'roll.
