Ken said no Billie for PKP.

Imagine Dragons + Florence almost confirmed for PKP’23. Who will he the 3rd one? A rock band? pop band? hip hop?

Will Green Day stay all August in Europe or just for Reading and some dates after it at late august/early september?

Sunny Day Real Estate?

Why wasn't Iron Maiden a success? The 2010 festival sold out for the first time ever and I remember that was a great gig with the Main Stage packed.

Do you think that booking a big rock/metal act as headliner was successful to Pukkelpop? It was the 1st time since Linkin Park 2015 that they took that decision. If Green Day is available for taking this slot in 2023 do you think that they will book them? Do you think that Backyard stage will remain alive?

The Strokes, Florence & The Machine and Arcade Fire are doing late summer festival. I think that Florence is nailed for PKP'23 and maybe Arcade Fire or The Strokes for Hear Hear Festival.

MGK is playing early summer festivals. Maybe Werchter will be his place.

Are these dates official? I can't find them in their site or social media. Everything is good. The medical issues were solved in a few days so despite missing Pukkelpop we could have a good end of summer holidays. Thanks for asking, Dave!

No official dates for Pukkelpop 2023?

How were ticket selling last time Muse played RW? Can you see them booking Muse again? No Belgian date and too big for festivals as Pukkelpop or Lokerse, so it seems a strong posibility for RW'23.

Arctic Monkeys are playing Cala Mijas Festival in september (also in Malaga)

A big medical issue won't allow us to go Pukkelpop. Huge letdown after preparing everything. If anyone needs two combitickets, just let me know, I don't really care about the price. To have more or less money back won't make me 1% happy. I hope that all of you have a great festival experience and enjoy the weekend!!

Forecast has improved in the last couple of days.

Not the best weather forecast for PKP weekend… 😞

Clutch or Clawfinger are older than Anti-Flag, Flatliners or Floggin Molly. Interrupters are quite modern.

It’s the first time un 12 years in Efestivals that I suffer a personal attack for giving my personal opinion. I won’t answer you as you deserve, even I won’t downvote you.

One personal reflection about the new Backyard Stage. This is the kind of music to be released in this Stage if you read PKP announcement: "In a musical sense, this translates into hard guitars, underground hip hop and (pop) punk for new (internet) generations" They have booked pop punk artists for the internet generation: tiktokers (Jxdn), celebrities sons (Willow Smith) and celebrities boyfriends (De'Wayne). ALL HAVE CANCELLED THEIR SHOWS AT PUKKELPOP!!!!! Why not booking 4 or 5 good punk bands as Pukkelpop used to do in the old Shelter?? Lokerse Feesten has Floggin Molly, Interrupters, Bad Religion, Anti Flag...) and Brakrock has Lagwagon, Circle Jerks, Descendents, No Fun At All, Flatliners... Pukkelpop bookers should learn the lesson and stop booking stupid youtubers, tiktokers and a**holes for filling the 5 or 6 punk gaps of the line-up. This kids do no care about festivals, music industry or playing live. Their world is internet and this is what they care. 3 bookings, 3 cancellations…

Doflame and Moments are playing at the same stage and the same time on friday: https://www.pukkelpop.be/en/line-up/friday/stages/ Maybe Doflame has also cancelled.

Lot of american bands with short tours in Europe are cancelling (Lowlands manager said that in an interview). CH are coming to Europe just for two shows (thursday and friday) and then they have some shows in the US in August starting on Sunday 21st, so any incident in Europe these 3 or 4 days that they will stay here, will make them have to cancell their US tour. It is just a guess, but for example, Hoobastank was supposed to come to Europe just for one gig in Portugal in August and last week they decided to cancel it. Short tours from American bands/artists have big chances to be pulled out

I think that Cypress Hill will cancel. Let’s wait until next week…

Viagra Boys vs Frank Carter is killer for me. Slipknot have 1:45min. I think that they will go with their short setlist, so 3 of my fav track from them won't be played. I won't make any kind of spoiler, but this is also painful for me.

Backyard is the new Shelter!!!! GREAT!!!!!

They are updating the page so the new names can be guessed using https://www.pukkelpop.be/nl/bands/XXXXX/ In Festileaks somebody found: https://www.pukkelpop.be/nl/bands/antoon/ https://www.pukkelpop.be/nl/bands/bazart/ https://www.pukkelpop.be/nl/bands/intergalactic-lovers/ I am guessing lot of options but I can't find any more band. i imagine that tomorrow we will have the last names (all from Belgium, because tomorrow its their national day)

Don’t get your hopes too high. We have seen big cancellations in Pukkelpop and they never have booked an international big name in the weeks before the festival. Wait for Belgian names as Bazart, 2ManyDJs, Brutus or dEUS and some smaller names.
