NOS Primavera Sound 2016<\/a> (NPS16) starts next Thursday, and who wouldn\u2019t be excited to be there again? On top of that, just imagine you\u2019ve moved from Portugal to a less sunny place. Of course you would be counting the hours. Now, practical stuff: have you printed the lovely timetables<\/a> we made? Still having trouble deciding what to see? Our weekly Spotify playlist is entirely dedicated to NPS16. Check it out on the widget below, then read our festival preview.<\/p>\n

Parquet Courts<\/i><\/div>\n

THURSDAY, JUNE 9<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nobody ever gets to the festival early on Thursday due to countless reasons, but this year you should really try and be there for the first concert. Sensible Soccers<\/strong> (17:00, Super Bock stage) are probably the most interesting Portuguese band of this decade, and they\u2019ve just released a new record, Villa Soledade, an electronic\/kraut-ish pop gem that was featured in a couple of our playlists<\/a> earlier this year. But if it\u2019s really impossible for you to be there that early, at least don\u2019t miss the 21:00 – 01:00 period, probably the best in the history of NOS Primavera Sound\u2019s slow Thursdays. The cold, majestic songs<\/a> of singer-songwriter Julia Holter<\/strong> (21:10, Super Bock stage) are followed by Sigur R\u00f3s<\/strong> (22:20, NOS stage), that instrumental band (nobody understands the language, so let\u2019s pretend they use J\u00f3nsi\u2019s voice as just another instrument so we can keep them in the \u201cinstrumental\u201d basket) everybody with a heart and at least one functioning ear loved at some point of their lives. Need to warm up? Parquet Courts<\/strong>\u2019 music (midnight, Super Bock stage), another favorite of ours<\/a>, would probably be more suitable for a smaller stage, but at the same time, after they made their best album of the career, they kind of deserve a time slot like this. Then, you can either go to the Pitchfork stage for some partying, or, well, go see AnCo or grab a bite or whatever. I\u2019m not your dad.<\/p>\n

Destroyer\u2019s Dan Bejar<\/i><\/div>\n

FRIDAY, JUNE 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you, festival organizers, put artists like Cass McCombs<\/strong> (17:55, NOS) and Destroyer<\/strong> (18:50, Super Bock) – two of Bolachas\u2019 favorite artists of the past fifteen years – playing so early with no big opposition, you\u2019re making it too easy for us to highlight artists in a festival preview. But, of course, life isn\u2019t supposed to be fair, and then we have to choose between witnessing a rare live appearance of one of the major songwriters of the 20th century playing that record everybody loves, or having the time of our lives again<\/em> with Mascis, Barlow & co. Brian Wilson performing Pet Sounds<\/strong> (20:00, NOS) or Dinosaur Jr<\/strong> (20:20, \u201cPalco.\u201d, or, \u201cthe stage formerly known as ATP\u201d)? Damn, at that time of the day I would rather be confused about in which of the countless amazing food stands<\/a> have dinner. Don\u2019t do this to us. I\u2019ll think about it later. (Also, I\u2019ll probably choose Conga, Padaria Ribeiro or Casa Guedes. Choose wisely, there\u2019s a limited amount of times you can go eat during the festival.)<\/p>\n

Had a great time during Dino Jr and need<\/em> to have some more fun? Are you regretting not having seen them? No worries: the legendary Seattle rockers Mudhoney<\/strong> (23:30, Palco.) play their first Portugal show in almost 10 years and, if you\u2019re lucky, you can still catch a bit of Protomartyr<\/strong>\u2019s (midnight, Pitchfork) show. If you liked Parquet Courts the night before, you\u2019ll love this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
Tortoise<\/i><\/div>\n

But, believe me, the best is yet to come. Tortoise<\/strong> (01:00, Palco.) has never played in the country in their more than 20 year career, and if June 10th wasn\u2019t a national holiday already, maybe it should become one after the Chicago collective take the stage. Sorry, Beach House. Maybe next time. Tortoise is that<\/em> band. It\u2019s the best reason anyone could have to just stare at a stage for an hour without ever producing a sound, checking your phone, etc. They are the best set of musicians playing the festival this year.<\/p>\n

Cate Le Bon<\/i><\/div>\n

SATURDAY, JUNE 11<\/strong><\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t believe it was true: somebody else cancelled (well, to be fair, we love both the bands who couldn\u2019t make it, Bardo Pond and Loop) and Cate Le Bon was brought in just a couple of weeks before the festival. I can\u2019t think of an analogy for this situation that wouldn\u2019t be insulting for anyone involved, but hey, we\u2019ve been championing<\/a> Cate Le Bon<\/strong> (17:45, Palco.) for quite a while around here, and we couldn\u2019t be happier with the replacement. The exquisite Welsh singer-songwriter will be presenting her new album Crab Day<\/em> and we\u2019ll be those fools in the front row. And we\u2019re going to stay for Neil Michael Hagerty & the Howling Hex<\/strong> (19:00, Palco.) to see what Neil Hagerty\u2019s been up to since the demise of Royal Trux. Judging by their latest output, Denver<\/em>, expect weirdness and guitar freak outs.<\/p>\n

Later, another big headache: staying for the whole concert of the legendary post-hardcore outfit Drive Like Jehu<\/strong> (22:00, Palco.) or just leave early to have one of the funniest experiences people can have in a music festival in 2016? Punk rockers Titus Andronicus<\/strong> will be playing just around the corner (22:30, Pitchfork) and it\u2019s difficult to say no. Well, at least, if you happen to prefer Air, won\u2019t have to choose between those two.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n
Shellac<\/i><\/div>\n

Then, as we come to the close of another edition of NOS Primavera Sound, another bunch of big question marks will hover above the heads of everyone in the festival grounds: Moderat, Ty Segall, or Shellac? Come on, if you follow us, you already know the answer, even though we would definitely go see the other two acts if they didn\u2019t clash with our annual Steve Albini worshipping session. Just search for our other NOS Primavera Sound reviews. \u201cOh, but I can go see Shellac next year!\u201d. That\u2019s a load of bullshit. Do you sometimes skip Christmas (or whatever your favorite celebration of the year is) because you think<\/em> you have something better to do? No, of course you don\u2019t. Stop being boring and go see Shellac<\/strong> (1:20, Pitchfork). And, if your body still functions properly, be sure to stay there for Royal Headache<\/strong>\u2019s (2:45, Pitchfork) brand of Australian garage rock. We know you weren\u2019t counting, but yes, we\u2019ve highlighted 17 artists in this article. Not 16. And that still doesn\u2019t do the lineup justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
