I don't think LCD Soundsystem will be at NOS Alive. Maybe Paredes de Coura? The promoter told the press they had a big name signed for this year.
We shall see. If Porto has Chappel, Sabrina and Charli, is a big win for the promoter, but for me is lacking the depth Primavera usually have.
I don’t think it’s that BMTH don’t resonate with a generalist crowd, it’s that rock/metal doesn’t unless it’s a mega big name. BMTH are at their peak now as Andre says, they have the show and even the collaborations to do it but the R&L main stage headliner audience maybe doesn’t suit them. They’d benefit massively from a rock day which to me suggests either download, their own thing or APE again/BST.
I'm much less convinced than others that EE/GFL will be quite so dogmatic with the specific technicalities of how the ticket sale site works. My suspicion is that to date they've probably deferred to Seetickets on most technical aspects including things like a queue (or lack of it), and only insisted on functional things that they actually need - such as the photo database, and the ability to select Coach departure points.
Yes, I did hear the recentish EE interview - I see that more as stating that she's happy with how things have been, rather than setting out a philosophical vision.
The reason I think that is that - registration database and coach selection aside - the Glastonbury site has never behaved much differently to the regular Seetickets site at the same moment in time, at least in terms of getting onto the site and also in terms of actually processing the order. As best I can tell they've pretty much grafted the (fairly simplistic, at that) registration database and coach selection on to the front of a standard white label See hosted site.
