Vilar has been so sh*tty since last year. they had 2 great editions but completly drop the ball.

 

any inside info this year?

Since returning in 2016, the organization has gone through a lot of bad times, headliners canceling at the last minute, losing main sponsors, but still remaining.
 

I have a lot of respect for Vilar de Mouros and Paredes de Coura because they are the only festivals that don't just think about money. Directors of both festivals really like and understand music.

True , even though paredes is a little to indie for my taste i can see the promoter has music integrity.

 

any names for vilar besides what is known?

It was 65 euros for a full pass when it launched in ‘12.

 

But then all festivals have increased prices far above inflation.

2019 - Early bird in Porto for ticket holders - 90 €

2019 - Early bird in Barcelona for ticket holders - 150 €

2025 - Early bird in Porto for ticket holders - 130 €

2025 - Early bird in Barcelona for ticket holders - 199 €

 

In Porto, it increased around 45%, but you have less bands now.

In Barcelona, it increased around 32%.

 

It shows how Porto has becoming more and more expensive, delivering less, in my opinion.

Vilar de Mouro usually gives you what you least expect. But I don't know anything... when I do know, sometimes it's the day before.

They will take names from Pukkelpop, Highfield Festival and W-Festival.

with the lack of those high production headliners it would be cool that they returned to the previous stage layout, without that new main stage
