The National have been confirmed as the first name for next year's NOS Alive festival in Portugal.
The Cincinnati sadboys, who released latest LP Sleep Well Beast just a couple months ago, are the only names confirmed for NOS Alive's twelfth edition so far, but expect many, many more to join the bill in the coming months.
Last year saw performances from the likes of The xx, Wild Beasts, Phoenix, and The Avalanches. It also featured a bunch of great Portuguese names.
NOS Alive 2018 takes place 12-14 July in Lisbon, Portugal. Weekend tickets are on sale now from just €149.
