It doesn't have enough acts and as such will be times of day when not much on.

I believe they have reduced the number from previous years (there were certainly more in 2022) - a shame.

2022 was a massive outlier though wasn't it as they expanded to 4 days and had 5 stages for the 10th anniversary.

 

2019 had 20-25 a day, including BITS. This year has 17. I would argue the line up is one of the strongest theyve put together for the Porto leg, but also you can actually see more because now only two stages clash at a time whereas before they would have 3 way clashes. I mean for the first few years of the festival the first day was only two alternating stages so if you didn;t like what was on your choice was nothing lol.

Yeah that's my point. 2019 was better for me as I would rather have 20-25 acts to choose from than 17. I will accept more clashes if it means more choice.

 

I agree the first few years were worse but it doesn't change that they have more recently gone backwards (in terms of number of acts).

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?

Well i have no idea if it is true or not, but i already heard from 2 different sources  that Idles will be on Vilar de Mouros lineup, but tbh i only will believe when i see it

on the other hand, this week i got confirmation QOTSA won't be at Vilar

but most of that extra choice was DJs playing to no one in BITS. and subjective but the line ups were really were much weaker too. YMMV but I'd prefer a slight reduction in numbers for a higher calibre of act through the line personally
