The 2020 edition of NOS Alive was scheduled to take place between 8 and 11 July 2020. On 19 May 2020, the festival was cancelled due to the Portuguese government's decision to prohibit all large-scale events in the country until 30 September 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] The planned lineup for that year's edition was the following:[8]

After the cancellation of the previous edition, NOS Alive '21 was scheduled to take place on the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10 July 2021, with all previous bought tickets valid for the new dates or refunded.[10] In early May 2021, Everything is New's CEO, Álvaro Covões, expressed his doubts regarding the execution of the festival that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] [12] The edition was eventually cancelled on 20 May 2021, with all previously bought tickets valid for NOS Alive '22.[13]
