Oh...

[Big Kahuna]

Any rumours about new additions to this Festival?

They usually surprise fans with awesome late additions like Nick Cave in 2022 or Blur in 2023

Think at least 2 more big names are missed in an already nice lineup

I hope they bring something like PULP, WEEZER or MY MORNING JACKET to fill spots, but we,ll have to wait a pair months more to find out.

People are thinking New Order for All Points East which would put them around at the right sort of time. Similarly, Loyle Carner hasn't popped up on any Portugal line ups yet ( I don't think) and is doing the rounds of festivals this summer. Sampha too. Fred Again also. I haven't checked any of their available dates though.

May not be so long.

Last year they announced 9 names in late November, another 40 mid-March, and then the final names in June. The final one was Blur, Prodigy and more.

This time the first announcement was bigger (about 20), but I've got my fingers crossed for a March unveiling for most of the rest, like last year.

Usually, the June announcement is shared with other festivals such as Primavera Sound Porto (where Nick Cave and Blur both performed). Since I already have tickets for both, I guess it will be a bit underwhelming for me.

My favorite band, The National, doesn't visit Portugal that often, so I'd put my money on them (/irony).

Do you mean that the June announcement is for bands playing at Primavera Sound, so they have to wait till after it's happened?

[Yokai]

Nick Cave performed at Primavera Porto in 2022 and in 2023, Blur did too, and both were announced in June at Kalorama.

The Prodigy were not at Primavera but could be a late booking. 

That being said, there is no connection between the organizers of both festivals, so it's uncertain if this year will be the same.

[DarthSaul]

So you are saying we could still get Justice? I assumed anyone at Prima Porto was out so good to hear otherwise

I don't think the connection has to be with the organizers. If anything it would probably be part of the band's deal with Primavera Porto because they don't want to lose ticket sales to another festival.

If a band is playing Primavera in Porto and Barcelona it is likely a bigger deal, so they'd have more power to ask them not to announce other festivals that might compete for sales.

Fingers crossed. They're still touring European festivals at that time.

New Order would be a nice addition to me and seems to be available of Kalorama dates.

Also The National, that would be a big name to sell tickets

I think they will not disappoint usand will bring good acts to end the lineup

[joselito]

Last year we have a lot of names March, 22nd. Maybe we have 2 more weeks for a full line up and day splits.

[bluenova]

Today's instagram post suggests they might be gearing up for an announcement. Ties in with last year's dates.

Spring is already in the air in Lisbon!
Stay tuned 👀

Yes, they are.

Some are playing Primavera (Justice, PJ Harvey, etc...), but last two years we had names of Porto Festival added after June.

The biggest thing I’ve taken from that is that they’re listed as playing Cala Mijas, so I wonder if they’re planning on actually going ahead this year

I thought the Cala Mijas story was that they want to go ahead, but are having issues with the site/licensing/local politics?

Whatever is happening, they'd have to provisionally book bands, and I don't think The Smile are bothered enough to put at asterisk next to the date 🙂

[Big Kahuna]

I guess how many Glasto acts could be added:

if i could choose four i,d take The National, London Grammar, Orbital and Disclosure, it would be a great closing of lineup

[BOBBY_FIRMINO]

Roughly, how many more acts are to be announced? About 20-30?

More, if it matches last year.

There were 63, so that's potentially another 45 left (assuming Death Cab and the Postal Service are counted separately).

16 of those were elecronic/dj acts on the Panorama stage, and not sure if anyone other than Overmono might fit that description from the 18 announced so far.

Sounds good! Thanks for that

Not very familiar with the festival but it's leading the way so far for this summer's booking.
