Nine Inch Nails to co-headline 2025’s NOS Alive with Kings Of Leon

Lisbon’s NOS Alive Festival just keeps on getting bigger: the Portuguese weekender has now confirmed that industrial rock legends Nine Inch Nails will co-headline alongside Kings Of Leon on Saturday 12th July. 

NIN founder Trent Reznor and his band are widely considered to be pioneers of introducing industrial rock to mainstream audiences, which they did throughout the ’90s via their chart-topping seminal albums ‘The Downward Spiral’ and ‘The Fragile’. Kings Of Leon, meanwhile - who were confirmed as headliners late last year - will be giving their latest album ‘Can We Please Have Fun’ an airing, off the back of their triumphant 2024 BST Hyde Park headline slot.

What’s more, French electronic duo Justice have also just been confirmed to play the renowned NOS Stage this Summer, joining recent additions Sam Fender (who’ll be celebrating his forthcoming third album ‘People Watching’) and Bright Eyes (who’ll be offering up cuts from their recently-released tenth studio album ‘Five Dices, All Threes’) on the bill. 

Elsewhere, crowds will be able to enjoy sets from the likes of headliner Olivia Rodrigo; Aussie punks Amyl and The Sniffers; former DIY cover stars Glass Animals; recent In Deep focus FINNEAS; electronic extraordinaire Barry Can’t Swim; DIY’s favourite cowgirl CMAT; and the always awe-inspiring St Vincent. This summer’s edition of NOS Alive takes place at Passeio Marítimo de Algés (near Lisbon) between 10th and 12th July, and tickets are on sale now.
