Oh my brothers and oh my other comrades… six years of NOS Primavera Sound, six years we\u2019ve left the Parque da Cidade hungry for more. After another sold out edition, we\u2019re wondering if the festival needs to grow a bit more. And the answer is\u00a0\u201cno it doesn\u2019t\u201d. We love it just the way it is: a smaller, familiar festival that keeps us from going to Barcelona because we simply don\u2019t need it anymore, even after those two sweet, sweet editions we were a part of (\u201909 and \u201810).<\/p>\n

10. HAMILTON LEITHAUSER<\/p>\n

After repeated listens of Leithauser\u2019s debut record (with Vampire Weekend\u2019s Rostam), I Had a Dream That You Were Mine<\/i>,\u00a0we couldn\u2019t help but think\u00a0\u201cA 1000 Times\u201d was a one hit wonder. Things are shaken up a bit live, but the single<\/i> still stands strong as the major highlight, a contender for one of the best moments of the whole festival, with Leithauser screaming his heart out during the verses. \u00a0<\/p>\n

9. THE GROWLERS<\/p>\n

Half an hour of The Growlers\u2019 gig was enough to grant them a spot on our top ten. In the end, all you need is a great song – and they\u2019ve delivered it in the form of\u00a0\u201cLove Test\u201d, off hit record Chinese Fountain<\/i>. The Growlers have grown from the garage scene and matured well enough to grant them a safe spot at a festival\u2019s major stage, but they remain young at heart. Wish we could have stayed for\u00a0\u201cGoing Gets Tough\u201d later in the set, but some band was calling our names in a stage nearby… (Photo: Miguel Oliveira \/ pointandshoot.pt<\/a>)<\/p>\n

8. SLEAFORD MODS<\/p>\n

The Nottingham duo sounded a bit less abrasive than in the past, but they\u2019re still what you should look for in a festival stage if you want a good time. Props to Andrew Fearn for keeping the best job ever (traveling the world, hitting the\u00a0\u2018play\u2019 button every now and then and bobbing his head while holding a 50cl can of beer, and drinking it).

7. SAMUEL \u00daRIA<\/p>\n

Our favorite Portuguese songwriter of the 21st century had the honor to open NOS Primavera Sound 2017 and of course he was up to the task. It was also the first time in six years that we\u2019ve seen someone dance in the first concert of the festival, when people are usually busy seeing friends they rarely see during the rest of the year and having the first beers while there\u2019s barely any queuing.\u00a0\u201c\u00c9 Preciso Que Eu Diminua\u201d, from his latest record, and old favorite \u201cTeimoso\u201d did the trick.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. JULIEN BAKER<\/p>\n

Playing simultaneously with the <\/i>festival\u2019s\u00a0headliner, especially since the headliner is also a fellow singer-songwriter, is a tough job. Still, the few hundreds who (rightfully so) thought this kind of music is best enjoyable in a small crowd, close to the stage, and not in the middle of 20-something thousand people were rewarded with what was probably the best solo delivery of this festival. The young Julien Baker, alone at the microphone, presented new songs (\u201cDistant Solar Systems\u201d, \u201cFuneral Pyre\u201d) from her second record, her yet unnamed Matador debut that should be due later this year. We have, indeed, witnessed the beginning of something important. And beautiful.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. MITSKI<\/p>\n

Like The Growlers an hour before, Mitski was hurt (well, not literally, just our appreciation of her gig) by the fact that our annual celebration with a certain Chicago trio did not allow us to be there at 9pm sharp. Still, our swift run to the Pitchfork stage has rewarded us with the chance to witness her playing the song that turned us on to her music, Bury Me at Makeout Creek\u2019s\u00a0<\/i>\u201cFirst Love \/ Late Spring\u201d. However, the highlight of her show had to be the closer\u00a0\u201cMy Body’s Made of Crushed Little Stars\u201d. Who does not relate to the words\u00a0\u201cI work better under a deadline\u201d?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. WEYES BLOOD<\/p>\n

Her birthday wasn\u2019t until one hour later, but in the end it was Natalie Mering who gave us a present instead. Playing most of\u00a0Front Row Seat to Earth<\/i>, an album we unfortunately haven\u2019t seen her play before – and with a full band – this was one of our most awaited shows and we weren\u2019t disappointed. And, on top of her having the most beautiful voice of the whole festival, the band delivered a pretty decent version of Can\u2019s\u00a0\u201cVitamin C\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. JAPANDROIDS<\/p>\n

In an edition of the festival where we ended up seeing mostly \u201cquieter\u201d acts, Japandroids – along with our favorite band, read along… – was one of the exceptions to the rule. It\u2019s difficult to stand still while the Canadians are on stage, throwing us punches left and right. (Photo: Miguel Oliveira \/ pointandshoot.pt<\/a>)<\/p>\n

2. NIKKI LANE<\/p>\n

Playing for an understandably small audience given the options, the Highway Queen still deserved a bigger crowd. Mostly playing songs from her latest album (\u201c700,000 Rednecks\u201d,\u00a0\u201cSend the Sun\u201d,\u00a0\u201cHighway Queen\u201d,\u00a0\u201cJackpot\u201d), our favorite country princess\/queen\/just give her a crown already ended things in style with a great version of Bob Dylan\u2019s\u00a0\u201cYou Ain\u2019t Goin\u2019 Nowhere\u201d.\u00a0(Photo: Miguel Oliveira \/\u00a0pointandshoot.pt<\/a>)<\/p>\n

1. SHELLAC OF NORTH AMERICA<\/p>\n

What did you expect? My seventh Shellac show in eight Primaveras (two in Barcelona, six in Porto), although not my favorite from the bunch – 2016 was unreal – was indeed the best of the 2017 edition. Back in the ATP meadow, and earlier than ever (8:30), they didn\u2019t even need two of their biggest classics (\u201cThe End of Radio\u201d and\u00a0\u201cPrayer to God\u201d were absent from the setlist) to set the crowd ablaze. New crowd favorite \u201cWingwalker\u201d was as fun as ever,\u00a0\u201cSteady as She Goes\u201d,\u00a0\u201cMy Black Ass\u201d and\u00a0\u201cSquirrel Song\u201d provided the most headbanging fodder and, by the time the show ended, most people would be perfectly fine with an additional half hour. Yes, it\u2019s true: year after year, Shellac is still the best rock band you can see in a stage. (Photo: Hugo Lima \/ nosprimaverasound.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
