They officially announced Royal Blood as a replacement for Queens Of The Stone Age but also put Mark Rebillet in The Smile's spot, not announcing him as a replacement. The Smile are kinda irreplaceable... I wouldn't have minded Mark Rebillet - he's performing live, and has quite a show. Folamour seems to be getting away with pretending having a light show is something special. If I booked a DJ for my grandma's 80th birthday, in the local church hall, I'd expect them to bring lights 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joselito Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 They missed a great opportunity for LCD soundsystem to remember the historic 2018 show in the city, perhaps the second best and biggest in the band's history. It would be much better than this replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenova Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Does anyone know if you can walk easily from the site? I'm staying in a hotel not too far away, but it looks like it's a huge road that you'd have to walk down, and it's not clear if there are paths on Google Maps. Google suggests you have to walk anti-clockwise around the outside of the park first. Also, is it just the one exit? Or do they open up more at the end of the night?

I don't know where's the hotel but there's a big circle you probably need to surround. Very easy to get out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to get out though. Thanks. We're staying a bit further south from Arroios metro. Booked it thinking that it was about a 20 minute walk away, but that entrance being on the other side of the park, makes it a lot longer. Still, it looks like quite a small site, so hopefully won't have walked that much in the day 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently booked to fly back on the 31st We're travelling back to Dublin on Sat 31st and now getting seriously worried our flight will be cancelled with no route home until Monday at earliest. Does anyone with knowledge of Portuguese strike actions think this strike might be averted? Will airlines fly anyway - just without a checked bag option? surely this strike may also have an impact on the festival with bands due to fly out of Lisbon on Sat and Sunday unable to get to their next gig.

Many strikes are then cancelled as the union makes agreements with the company. You might be lucky and the strikes get cancelled. This one is just a GroundForce strike, wich airline are you travelling with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this site when I was in Prague recently. https://usebounce.com/ Loads of hotels and shops now offer luggage storage, so you'll hopefully find somewhere reasonably near.

To be honest, I regret to have bought the 3-days pass. What seemed to be a great 3-days festival, in fact is a great one-day festival (Friday) with two days where I will just check two or three bands (simply because the rest is not for my tastes).
