The National first act for NOS Alive 2018
The band will play the Lisbon event on 13th July.

The first name for next year’s NOS Alive festival in Lisbon has been revealed as The National.
The band - already set to appear at new London event All Points East next summer - will play on 13th July.
The festival hosted the likes of Foo Fighters, The xx, The Kills, Depeche Mode and The Weeknd this year (read our reviews here, here and here). Next year’s event takes place between 12th and 14th July, again at Passeio Marítimo de Algés.
The National released seventh studio album, ‘Sleep Well Beast’ back in September, shortly before their UK tour.
