JORDAN - MCR-T - MEG10 - NEW WEST - NIEVE ELLA - WASIA PROJECT Sunday tickets limited available Very happy with Glass Beams and English Teacher. Also happy with Grandson, Slift, Wunderhorse and I have something to discover. It's shaping really good. Still hoping for Yard Act (playing Brussels late April), Protomartyr and maybe a couple of nice surprises 🤞🏼

Primavera Sound announced them as only EU festival appearance 😞

Looking at the smaller names, it could simply be two names on the same line separated by an x. Don't know why every headliner got his own line except them, but I think it's just Sean Paul, Paolo Nutini.

Mine too. It's a very nice festival but definitely if you want to get a good spot at an evening main stage show, you have to miss the previous ones on the other stages. (Anyways, I attended to Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Cascade from a good position and then run to The Chemical Brothers being far from the Grande Scene, but visual and audio by The Chems were amazing also from long distance, so I enjoyed their show too). If I remember correctly, they released the timetables in early July last year. Don't remember the date but it surely was more than one month before the festival took place.

I don't think so. All the stages are far enough (and separated by trees, stands, people...) to don't have soundbleeding and if you were together with 40k persons waiting for The Strokes I'm sure you wouldn't understand that much about Bonobo's set. It's a very nice festival, but every day you better choose the 3-4 shows you want to attend more and enjoy them. Anything more is a bonus (like half shows from a certain distance)

The distance is not big but it's more a matter of organization and people. The show on one stage starts suddenly when the other show is finished and it's impossible to get a good spot on every show. For an example, last year's sunday had Foals (Grande) than Bonobo (Cascade) than The Strokes (Grande) and almost everyone took a spot for Foals and stayed there for Strokes. Bonobo played in front an almost empty field and walking from/to the Grande Scene during that evening was really hard.

So, surprisingly (or not?) Denzel Curry announced American Tour during PKP-LWL. This opens a nice hole in Friday's Marquee schedule.

Hi, never done that so I hope someone else can help you more than me. Regarding extra night trains, at the moment (but I don't think this will change), SNCB website only talks about Sunday night, when the festival ends a bit earlier than Friday/Saturday and many Belgian people come back home: https://www.belgiantrain.be/en/leisure/music-events/pukkelpop Last regular train to Brussels is expected to leave Hasselt station at 22.56 and the next one is at 6 something the morning after, so it also depends on your festival experience. I can see Fred Again or Soulwax + some minor acts closing their stage around 01.30/02.00 am and then some DJs going over till 4 am, but also a lot of shows taking place all day long starting 11 am (e.g. Fontaines DC and Inhaler will surely be playing in the afternoon). Then you have to reach the train station. A taxi to Brussels would surely be expensive (it's 80 kms drive) especially when you have a free train ride from any Belgian train station and way back included in your festival ticket. Probably the best option is to book a room around Hasselt for Friday night and then go back to Brussels using the free train on Saturday. Or maybe you can consider spending a couple of days in Brussels and a couple of ones in a smaller town closer to the festival like Diest (the taxi should be ways less expensive than Brussels and you can still use the free train ride from/to Brussels).

The Kills are already at Pukkelpop

C'mon Pukkelpop, you know what to do!

I simply don't understand why and indie rock fan should go to Sziget 2024 and why Sziget spended money to book bands like Yard Act or Fontaines DC instead of making an even stronger pop/dance festival (which basically it is). You all have your reasons but there's a lot of cool festivals around if this one doesn't match your tastes.

I think only Liam Gallagher, Editors, Yves Tumor, Mannequin Pussy in today's announcement 😬

Glass Beams and Yves Tumor for sure. There's also one of the many projects by Jonny Greenwood (who'll be playing also with The Smile) that are always interesting to check. Didn't know Ghinzu but I read they're a belgian band from the early 2000s recently reunited and accompained by some hype...

New names added. Amazing line-up
