(This doesn't appear to be connected to the earlier London registrations, other than, you know, live Chemical Brothers!)

I hope so too. Specifically a tour not confined to Europe. No Coachella... but there's still a chance they'll come here!

Wheel, Foxboy, wheel! Make sure the brakes on your wheelchair are pulled! Btw, it would be awesome if you could record the show now that you have to sit still :D

Have fun, guys. I'm looking forward to some nice reviews!

I kinda came to like the new one, it had a strong energy. They should do a mix of the two

Didnt realize that app existed! Should have told me! Regardless it was a pretty epic gig and I got pretty whole thing on camera, the sound is good and the visual is half decent.

Concert was really good too. Drunkenly tried to convince someone to join the forum, I am an ambassador of ChemBase. Hahah.

From this video here (from 2:36 to 3:55) it looks like it wasn't that crammed, lots of space on the left side. How big is this festival anyway?

Btw, nice little twist to Under the Influence!

Btw2: Hats off to our ambassador!

Cant watch atm, the festival isnt massive. It has one main stage, a tent like stage and a club room stage. Rougly about 30-40k people across the whole thing if I was to guess the amount.

I really like it though, since Im wheeling about, everythings well laid out, the workers are spot on and its mostly all flat tarmac ground too except for curbs. Pretty sure the site is just a big massive car park.

Only drawback so far was afterwards, maybe Im not in the loop but getting back to Lisbon after was a mission.

Hey guys, first time posting here. First time i saw the bro's live (didn't get a chance to catch them live at the same festival in 2011), it was awesome, loved every second of it! :music

Tried to fill the setlist with as much as i could remember: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-chemical-brothers/2016/nos-alive-alges-portugal-63fff25b.html

The festival has a maximum capacity of 55k people, and there were approximately 45~50k people on the 7th.

Really hope they won't take another 5 years to return.

Good decision!

worst decision ever, this old version is powerless compared to the new one. Don't understand why they switched back to HBHG for the opening song, especially combined with SIFSD.

I thought it was a good show, but not the best I've seen so far (hard to say to be honest). Overall good but the festival space is really to small for all the people. The most crowded festival I've ever been to. The brothers were really good, but sometimes a little bit messy. I noticed they had problems with the acid line with under the influence, it just wasn't there (I was at the front of the stage), For me to many songs in too little time. I had a good time with my girlfriend and friends and we left with huge smiles on our faces! :) I was really happy with the length of block rockin' beats, blew me away, they took the time for it! I was also surprised with C.H.E.M.I.C.A.L brothers (q-tip). Was really good with some new visuals. Hope to see TPPR in Germany soon :)
