They are probably waiting for the headliners of BBK and Madcool to be announced simultaneously (1 from bbk and another from madcool).

I think we might have some big names this week, the first week of December usually has a big headline to sell out as a Christmas present, friday in my guess, let's see.

 

 

I'm curious about the rock band, it might be the first NOS Alive in many years (except for the pandemic) that I won't go

Is this their big rock name then? 

[St Jimmy]

Nice one, but do you guys think they gonna be the headline of this rock day?

[charlierc]

We've gone from the often discussed idea in this thread of Muse and Green Day to it now being Muse or Green Day and soon probably neither huh.

 

I don't mind Kings of Leon either tbf - I saw KoL in Leeds in June and they were rather good. But I appreciate that's not something everyone might endorse.

I think they will co-headline, but tbh, not sure how can any festival consider KoL headline material.

 

I can live with that, my expectation was already to stay at Heineken, if there is nothing interesting, a nice slot for dinner.

Until we see their position in the poster, we can't say anything

They might be headliners, or be in the position like Black Keys were in 2023, subheadlining a bigger band (in that case it was Red Hot Chilli Peppers)

But tbh, if Kings of Leon are headliners, it will be a big letdown

i mean hes just named 2 hits and done your job for you 

 

also forgetting some absolute bangers on all the early albums

[Red Day]

Been a couple of times to Nos and had hoped to maybe head back this year but the line up for me is dreadful.  KoL are probably the dullest headline size band I've ever seen

The Bucket on their second album is imo their best song, while King of the Rodeo has been a song I've had a soft spot for and although it missed something without the keyboard intro in Leeds, On Call is still a goodie. Bucket & OC are also both UK top 20 singles tbf.

 

Admittedly I'm aware the big two on Only By The Night are in a different category for how much attention they got. Given the sheer amount of dad rock cover bands I've seen doing it locally, I'm aware of their popularity being a different level.

So 2 then 🙄🙄🙄

Saw them at V Festival in, I think, 2007. Awful. Really dull, no engagement with the crowd and I didn't enjoy it at all.

However, their early stuff remains a good listen and I have had a go at their newest album which I liked. So a second chance for KoL. Still don't think they are a "good" headliner, but there are not many of those about anymore.

kings of leon... in 2025... be serious right now...

[Daniel Ferreira]

See NOS Alive's 2018 poster, see alive's 2019 poster, from then on I never create expectations in relation to the names again, it's the best they do...

Kings of Leon haven't been to Portugal for 12 years... so it's good, because Portugal is always bringing the same bands.

Kings of Meh, the Heiney is already really strong for 12th, you’ll know where to find me!
