NOS Alive unveils Kings Of Leon as second 2025 headliner
The festival has already confirmed that Olivia Rodrigo will top the bill on Friday night next year.
Portugal’s NOS Alive has revealed that Kings Of Leon will be headlining next year’s coastal weekender, joining Olivia Rodrigo as the second lineup-topping name to be announced for 2025’s festival.
The Tennessee quartet will close the main NOS Stage on the festival’s final night (Saturday 12th July), bringing their rock anthems - including latest album ‘Can We Please Have Fun’ - to Portugal for the first time in 12 years.
Other new additions to the 2025 lineup include Aussie punk powerhouses Amyl and The Sniffers, alt-pop favourite girl in red and former DIY cover stars Glass Animals, while the previous wave of artists to be announced boasted the likes of CMAT, St Vincent, and Future Islands.
Due to take place at Passeio Marítimo de Algés (near Lisbon) between 10th-12th July, NOS Alive 2025 will follow this year’s ace 16th iteration, which saw the likes of Dua Lipa, Pearl Jam, and Arcade Fire deliver memorable headline sets.
