They're just getting started, right?

 

Them dodging the LP bullet seems like good news to me.

Again, I've no idea who they are I'm afraid. 

I have listened to 1 minute 22 seconds of a song called Stick Season. If it is all like this, and he plays when it is sunny, then I think I will enjoy it. Bit Faux-Folkie, but I don't mind it.

Well we only have 5 names so far and are still waiting on night 2/3 heads among other things. So it has room to grow.

Just remembered of a headline worthy name for Alive. Childish Gambino would sell a lot of tickets, i heard some rumors about a possible tour some months ago. Anyone has the ideia if he is doing festivals next year? 

He missed both Portugal and Spain on his tour this winter

I don't think so. Most of his shows this year got cancelled because he underwent surgery in October and now he needs time to heal.

Agreed, saw her at Victorious and she’s so entertaining.  Hard not to like her 

[Daniel Ferreira]

I like the idea of 1 band a day. Probably even Christmas like this.

[Yokai]

Saw her at Kalorama, also think she was entertaining. 

[TheNewUnion]

Superb, been hoping to catch her for a while. Really liked her album from the first listen.

Muse playing pink pop, hopefully they turn up here 

[St Jimmy]

I really hope for an announcement of Green Day as headliner, 12 years waiting for them  in Portugal, on last year's tour the last date of their tour was June 29th, quite far from the NOS Alive dates, this time they will be in Europe in the same window that the festival will be taking place

All we have right now is hope

I dont think the odds are in our favor

still, crossed fingers for green day and muse.

As strong as any pop day you'll find anywhere, so far. Great if you like that kind of thing. 

[Daniel Ferreira]

I just don't want them to do what they did in 2023, which brought together Sam Smith and QOSTA on the same day, it was ridiculous. A more commercial day and a more rock day.

I like pop music

but benson and noah

are pretty much one hit wonders

[just_one]

either Covoes is short on money or it has some massive headliners for the 2 remaining days.

 

those pop acts as @Joao182 (blink reference?) said are one hit wonders and gotta be cheap to bring in, alongside all the indie stuff on the heineken stage so far

There's still a lot of names left. Don't create expectations, that's what I've learned over the last few years in Portugal.
There are so many festivals in Portugal, but there are years when it is sometimes worth going outside the country.
