DDave Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 1 minute ago, Dietediet said: This guy on Festileaks who's definitely an insider (drops very concrete hints before every Dour announcement + hinted at RW adding a fourth stage) is now saying we can expect news from Pukkelpop next week. It's on. Will definitely coincide with KL's Antwerp date. I'm still saying Tuesday for the first names. They put on a FB post about it being the last week for Wishlists on Tuesday of this week and I'm sure the gap was a week last year as well. I'm going for something like this.....probably a bit over optimistic as I'd be pretty happy with it but stacking the Marquee makes sense again for ticket sales and with who we know is around and how they did it last year, I suppose it's not that unrealistic. 16.8 Main – Years and Years / Prophets of Rage / Dua Lipa / The War on Drugs / Pendulum Marquee – Grizzly Bear / Phoenix / Vampire Weekend / Bonobo Club – Kevin Morby / Wolf Alice / Everything Everything / Oh Sees 17.8 Main – Kaleo / 30 Seconds To Mars / Florence & the Machine / N*E*R*D Marquee – Fleet Foxes/ King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard / Franz Ferdinand / Lykke Li Club – The Wombats / Lemon Twigs / Unknown Mortal Orchestra / Belle and Sebastian 18.8 Main – Brockhampton / Rag N Bone Man / Imagine Dragons / Kendrick Lamar, Chainsmokers Marquee – Gogol Bordello / Flogging Molly / The Hives / Iggy Pop Club – Shame / The Vaccines / Haim / The Breeders I'm fully expecting the likes of Travis Scott, (whom I'm guessing would get a fairly high spot), Tyler the Creator, one of the Kalkbrenners, Gorgon City, Diplo and Sigma for the 19th year running. Have a feeling that there will be a big focus on female bookings this year so wouldn't be surprised if Lorde is on the line up somewhere as well. Welcome surprise bookings would be Arcade Fire, Justice, the Pixies, Kasabian, Carl Cox and Fatboy Slim who are all about/on tour but probably won't get booked. I'm pretty much 99% definite for it anyway unless they pull a Pkp 2015 or a Reading/Leeds 2018 out of their arses. Roll on next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDave Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Paramore self confirm for Summer Sonic, ruling them out for Pukkelpop. Damn shame that. Think they would have gone down really well. http://www.paramore.com.br/paramore-anuncia-participacao-no-summer-sonic-festival-2018/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#.WpOzfDOnw0M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKiewitGuy Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Kendrick was pretty much confirmed by Chokri during some kind of lecture here at PXL college of Hasselt, a friend told me. He said something along the lines of 'a popular American rapper, that is also booked for other festivals'. Not a surprise, but nice anyway. A friend who works for some kind of company that works with PKP told me the same 2 weeks ago (could be made up, since it's so obvious) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Well here's the V fest replacement. Looks like it's just the Chelmsford site that's being held. Years and Years, Rag N Bone Man and James Bay got to be big contenders for Pukkelpop now. Rag N Bone man will play the Thursday if he's announced. I'd say it rules LG out tbh but you never know. Again, would be playing the Thursday. Manics on a Saturday night Marquee spot would be great.

DDave Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Even looks like a Pukkelpop announcement, font wise. We'll get most of that I think. I bloody hope we get Justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverLining Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Here we go, just hoping for a varied line-up, I'd go see a good number of folk on the ZOA announcement. Basically praying for Justice they've been my festival 'moby dick' act for years. We expecting at 12pm announcement??? Kendrick was more nailed on than Jebus himself.

Semprini Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) There’s a guy on Festileaks forum called Greg who is dropping song lyric hints. Looks like The War on Drugs and possibly Imagine Dragons, which is hardly ground-breaking stuff but he seems to have some inside info. Wonder if we’ll get an announcement every hour or something? Edit: Greg has just said ‘new and impressive names are coming soon’. Reckon we could get the headliners individually and then a whole batch.

johnybegood Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 This year my wife and me will give a miss to Pukkelpop because we are waiting for the birth of our first daughter at the end of July, so for the first time in 10 years I will wait the first batch of names knowing that we won't be there for sure. I hope that all of you will get a great line-up, and I hope that they will get back Shelter Stage, because I would love to go back to Pukkelpop in the future (don't know when, but I am sure that I will go back there) Good luck with the line-up!

The year I missed festivals because of my incoming son it was "the worst lineup in years" but you will see, 2019 will be the best thing you've ever seen eheh (obviously next to your baby) Edited February 27, 2018 by alan_ts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semprini Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Getting good updates on Festileaks forum. Greg has now said that headliners should not be compared to RW but undercard is very strong. Sounds perfect to me!! couple of people pressing him about when we can expect more names but no response to that yet. Congrats johnybegood, I’m sure we’ll see you at a future PKP!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed!! Congratulations! skipped festivals myself for a couple of years when my kids were born. But I can assure you, when music is in your blood and the festival-bug has bitten you...you will return to the festivals in good time. The Shelter, I'm not expecting it to return honestly. But pretty confident PKP will deliver a decent, diverse line-up once again! Edited February 27, 2018 by DaveRSV4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably mean a continuation of last year's ethos is what he means. Main stage shite (Imagine Dragons and a headliner who's not really a headliner anywhere else such as TWOD or Alt-J for example, and loads of Migos and pop-rap type shit) and the Marquee and Club stages will be stacked again with more shall we say, acclaimed stuff for the more discerning (meaning old) punters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
