That first day is stacked but the second and third day feel kind of weak to be honest. Tyla and Sum41 are very small 'second biggest names' for this festival, in comparison to other years. Alan Dixon, Ella Knight, Emerald, Matisa, Shouse on the last day for instance, these are in bold but I haven't heard of any of those.

I guess they put most of the budget in Pearl Jam and Dua Lipa. In the subs, Sum 41 is a decent name as they're playing very high everywhere for their last European festivals tour. The other big names are a bit weak to me too.

Listening my way through the lineup. Got a nice list building up. So far I am really enjoying Parcels, The Cat Empire, Black Pumas, Moullinex GPU Panic. I noticed Groove Armada in there, I assume it's a DJ set?

 

Are there any hidden gems in there I should check out. Already familiar with Nathaniel Rateliff, Larkin Poe, The Heavy

[DarthSaul]

They confirmed in insta comments it is Groove Amanda, rather than Armada. Must be a tiny DJ with a terrible un-googleable name.

[TheNewUnion]

Groove Armada were pretty big. Superstylin' in particular was a hit that people know even if they don't know who did it. Good live act too, which is why I'm hoping they bring the live show and not just DJ set. 

 

Click for some Superstylin'

 

(Bloke from Groove Armada (Andy) is now into sustainable farming and was on the latest series of Clarkson's Farm)

That's all right, but here we have the Portuguese dj Groove Armanda, not Groove Armada.

[TheNewUnion]

ahh, makes sense now. So we're getting a local DJ not Groove Armada. Shame.

 

That sucks.

Notice 3 day tickets have come back on sale again.

I'm at work so can't upload myself but check out some @otiagodavid on twitter who is at a press conference uploading photos of complete stages

edit- just clubbing and comedy it looks like. His most recent tweet says next week for news on other stages (dodgy translation)

 

Did the other stages news happen?

But he is nice. Streams are not everything.

I have PJ fans travelling from Ireland. There is a pilots strike at the moment so they are not comfortable at the moment 🤔😂

Sofi Tukker cancels. Case of strep throat & exhaustion.

Still waiting for the schedule, with the festival starting in 9 days... even worse than last year I think. When can we except it?

Vague and unhelpful tweet from them yesterday... "10 days to go, less for the schedule."

Tyla cancels European dates due to health issues.  Doesn't mention NOS yet

yet her date in Lisbon is exactly in 10 days ...

So probably they are just trying to see if she recovers in time

[TheNewUnion]

If Tyla is out, someone needs to get looking for a replacement ASAP. 

[TheNewUnion]

Set times now available. No major clashes for me but the look of it, but Jessie Ware on later than I'd have liked. 

[Daniel Ferreira]

Tyla remains at NOS Alive.

Alec Benjamin upgraded from Heineken Stage to main stage, what a mess of a lineup.

4 main stage artists per day and a lot of it filler. 

[TheNewUnion]

Main Stage on Friday is pretty weak, won't be watching anyone until Dua Lipa. Thankfully the Heineken Tent is brilliant for us from 5pm unitl the end of Kiwunuka.

Thursday is a great run of bands.
