The Mamas And The Papas ... 😉
Sooo....the Shelter is being considered as a Mama and Papa thing....😃
It would be great having the Shelter back but maybe this is for the extra day they seem to be planning.
Will not be Macca...he wrote mamas and papas, not grandmothers and grandfathers 😜
Guess we will find out soon enough...they changed their website.

What does the CORE line up mean for Pukkelpop? Belgian exclusives? PK, The Blaze, Ross, Agoria, Jamie etc would all fit in @Pukkelpop.
There is almost 3 months between Core and PKP. I think there can and will be acts performing on both festivals.

I'm pretty sure we'll get Slowthai and Clutch from that list. Liam and Aurora also seem likely...

Forgot about Summer Sonic. Only one I thought we might get is the Libertines. No Offspring though 🙂
Tame Impala announced as headliner for Way Out West.
Maybe they will get a second chance at a normal show without immense rain. I wouldn't be sad about it.

Pukkelpop is also being busy with something extra the weekend before or after the festival.
You are making us very curious now.
A bit like Rock En Seine with RATM and RTJ, I hope.

It is cheaper to let them come back and pay nothing extra. If not they have to pay a sort of fee (how bigger the band how larger the fee) to cancel the contract... that is something you don’t want to do. It works for both sides.
When Pearl Jam cancelled its EU tour in 2016 lawyers where working on a deal with the promotors. Sort of garanty that they would come back to do the tour.Thx for clearing that out. "Lawyers" working on "deals" with "promotors". Very little rock'n roll spirit there...:)

He can say what he wants off course if nothing is announced. But he can not cancel the signed contracts.
I have no experience whatsoever with this kind of contracts but I reckon a contract was signed for a show in 2020 and not in 2021? Given the fact that this situation is new to every one I'd be surprised there are stipulations in these contracts that oblige festivals to book a band in year x+1 if the festival is cancelled in year x.

The whole hardcore/punkrockscene is going through rough times, with Groezrock kind of broke & Ieperfest downsized and needing crowdfunding. I think PKP saw these red flags well so they cancelled the Shelter and booked even more dance/hiphop instead. This was probably a wise decision.
However, I do understand Johny that Belgian festivals are missing a lot of great bands because they tour in August and we don't have a good festival to welcome them (Brackrock doesn't book the class A acts & Alcatraz is not the right festival for these bands).
As for PKP, bands such as Rise Against, Sum 41, Dropkick Murphys (...) will still work because they have a fan base way beyond the typical punkrockscene. This is very different with for example Sick of It All & Lagwagon. Those fans often care less about other genres, and than PKP is a bit too expensive. Also, these bands aren't really known with the allround young festivalvisitor anymore, which is the target audience of PKP.
Groezrock going broke and Ieperfest downsizing has also to do with the fact that metal fests like GMM and Alcatraz are slowly turning into rock fests. List all punkrock and hardcore bands of the 2020 line-ups of those 2 and you have a perfect headliner set for Groezrock and Ieperfest. Not even 5 years ago those bands would in effect have been booked by Groez or Ieper. There simply is too much in that niche for the potential audience nowadays.

La Route Du Rock has inevitably cancelled as well. They released the line up of what they had booked as well unless they'd done it before and I'd missed it. Would have seen a big chunk in the club/lift etc.
Shame we will never know the 2020 line-up. Given the names that were announced for other fests in the same period I'm pretty confident we would have had a great Club, Lift, Castello line-up. The headliners would have been weak as in plan D or E but to me PKP is more about the undercard and the smaller tents.
Curious to know if they had Girl Band...saw them 2 years ago in Antwerp. Excellent!!!

The poster is a new account, so it is unclear if he is giving right information.
Most of the names are possible though: JPEGMaffia, Bon Iver, Soulwax,...
I don't believe RATM and Drake. PKP can hardly afford one of the names, let alone both of them.
Could be Ken just to make a point there to some non believers when the line up becomes public.
No seriously, RATM would be great but I saw that band when you had to see them...back in the 90's. In all honesty, given the gap in their schedule and the fact that LL is also still waiting for a headliner, I can see it happen. I also don't think they are really that expensive.

Well, they can't use SXSW as an excuse any longer to make us wait till April.

Viagra Boys self-confirmed for the 22nd as well.
Two names so far and...two intresting names. I fear they will not keep up with this rate.
Anyhow, a good start!

We have our first self- confirmation!
Clutch play on the Saturday (says September but i'm guessing it means August)
A good name to start with!
Once the self confirmations are starting to come out, announcements are bound to come quickly!

The silence is deafening. And a bit worrying...
Worrying in the way that it becomes more and more clear the Main Stage will be very poor this year...and I guess their problems with getting at least a bit of quality on the Main is what makes them wait so long. But as I wrote in a previous post, there is enough quality around to make for a decent Club, Castello and Lift and even Marquee program. So personally I am not too worried.

Several interesting acts touring in august...hope we get a lot from this list.
Angel Olsen, Bambara, Bon Iver, Black Midi, Caribou, Caspian, Chromatics, Daughter, Denzel Curry, Fever 333, FKA Twigs, Floating Points, Foals, Girl Band, Goldfrapp, John, Koffee, Little Simz, London Grammar, Metz, Oathbreaker, Shame, Squid, Stake, Sudan Archives, Tash Sultana, This will destroy you, Viagra Boys,...

First reaction: no Bon Iver....that's an unpleasant surprise to say the least.
-
Looking at the RW announcement for today and thinking....no harm done really. Wasn't very keen on getting Disclosure or Liam anyway. Big Thief is excellent of course but we had them last year.

I guess the only way she could play is if she's klub c headliner on Thursday?
Edit: Would mean she plays four days in a row, I highly doubt she'll be there.
Edit: and apparently Jazabel has also said so I think we can rule that one out completely
If she won't be @ Werchter, I can definitely see her taking a sub or headliner Marquee spot @ PKP. She will be touring than as well.

I was really expecting Bad Religion to play. Sad sad news for me.
Its unbeliveable how smaller festivals as Lokerse, Brakrock, Sjock... steal Pukkelpop all the great rock and punk bands that tour during august in Europe.
Then they will book BMTH, You Me At Six or Deaf Havana for the 1.000th time
On top of that Graspop (since a couple of years) and Alcatraz (since this year) also take their share of the availble hardcore/punkrock bands and I think this will be increasingly the case. It could very well mean the end of Groez, Brack, Ieperfest... At the end you can spend a euro only once.

Some great names on this page! The future looks bright!

FKA Twigs is rumoured for Werchter.
True, but so was Tame Impala last year. We'll see how it goes but with all the buzz I can definitely see her taking a high Marquee spot.
