Hope they'll add some bands for the RHCP one day...

Damn. I wanted the opposite! Not a fan of Mackelmore at all but big fan of Lewis. I'm really surprised Imagine Dragons and Lewis Capaldi aren't part of Pukkelpop this year...

I hope they'll do it again (Leuven-Brussels) this year. As I'm going only on Friday, I would prefer this solution instead of the parking. But I check on the website and there's nothing about it... yet.

Cosy place. You can hear the Main Stage from there. Just too bad they don't put a screen there to see the show. I can it's a different area but it could be a nice add.

Thanks for the info. Honestly, when I saw the name of Charlotte DW, I thought they add her as closing act on the Main Stage. Not sub on the Barn before Iggy Pop.

I guess that's the last name @Ken19 was talking about. There are 7 bands on the Main Stage now on Thursday. Who's been added there?

And we aren't slowly running out of headliners: we just finally move on. These dinosaurs have kept the spot way too long. Not speaking about the biggest like Metallica as they're still able to sell out stadiums. But the old boring acts like Kiss, Aerosmith, Scorpions, Mötley Crüe, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne... time for bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Parkway Drive, Five Finger Death Punch, Ghost or Sabaton to finally have the opportunity to become the real new headliners. Rock and metal are still working very well. Bands will just change a bit and some legends that have been active way too long will finally stop 🙂

I saw her live 2 months ago on her headliner tour... nothing special tbh.

Too bad they didn't bring BMTH or Evanescence. Not hyped at all by Machine Head as headliner but at least they find something. By the way: has anyone ever heard about Hellmut Lotti Goes Metal?!

I've not idea of who's the last headliner and when they gonna announce it. I can't remember an edition when we discovered an headliner so late...

Zero poster. First time I see that. Really weird communication this year.

This festival in 2016 has been cancelled, right? I thought they gonna add some support bands. Too bad. It doesn't really feel as a festival then. Just a couple of sick shows in the same place on the same weekend. I thought about 2 Main Stages especially for the production stuff.

What an insane line-up. Especially in 2023 as AC/DC don't do festivals anymore. It looks like a line-up from the earlier 2000's or even late last century. I guess the festival gonna have 2 Main Stages? About Graspop, we already have Guns N Roses... and I think it's gonna be the only one (except if they book a surprise with Tool but I really doubt about it).

Tomorrow at noon: 30 new names...

Black Pink just announce a show in Paris (Stade de France) on July 15st. Their only Stadium show in Europe this year. And I just saw they're working with AEG, not Live Nation. Could it be the reason they don't play a lot in Europe this Summer? They only have this show and London 2 weeks before. I'm not a fan of the band at all but I expected to see them at some festivals like Rock Werchter or Lollapalooza.

Kiss are playing in Brussels on June 13th and it's far to be soldout. Then Hellfest on the 15th, Munich on 17th and in Poland on 19th. Don't see it as a possibility to cancel Brussels to add Graspop instead between 2 other shows. Maybe Kiss was a possiblity but Graspop planned other acts (still thinking about Ozzy). All the potential headliners are taken somewhere else, not announced for any weird reasons (if it's BMTH or Evanescence) or were already on Graspop last year (Five Finger Death Punch and Judas Priest). The last-minute usual replacements like Scorpions or Within Temptation (both there in 2022) aren't available either.

Porcupine Tree headliner size but not Disturbed? Come on... BMTH were one of the last bands expected for this spot but their Belgian indoor show is over since 3 weeks now so they would have been announced already. Evanescence? Same. Why would they wait to announce them? Would love to have some inside infos from @Ken19 here 🙂

Disturbed as headliner would be cheap as f*ck. This whole Friday without a decent headliner seems cheap anyway: the undercard are smaller than the other days. I'm still wondering what happened. I guess they booked Ozzy and as he can't play anymore, they are looking for something else... There are a lot of errors / wrong spots for bands on this poster. 1. First thing, I don't see the Graspop put a line of mid-important bands between the logos and the rest of the bands. They'll just put the logos followed by all the bands left. 2. The logo from the Guns N Roses will be on top with Ghost on its right or below (like the Thursday in 2022). 3. Still on the first day, Escape The Fate and Motionless In White will never get their logo on this poster. ETF will open the smaller stage or almost. Alter Bridge will have the spot where they put Papa Roach. 4. There's no way we could have Asking Alexandria, Hollywood Undead or Bad Wolves so high. If we choose 4 logos for that day below Gojira and Disturbed, it gonna be Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Airbourne and Clutch or Meshuggah. 5. On Saturday, it would be sad to have Pantera before Parkway Drive who were announced as headliner. And The Ghost Inside will take the logo spot of I Prevail. Anyway, I hope we gonna have the final announcement soon and the real poster to see how they'll save the Friday.

Damn. I hope The Hu and Hot Milk won't clash like this potential schedule says...

You can buy tickets (combi) with a 30% discount on Eventim... never saw that. Is it possible to finally is not selling well with this line-up?!

Nothing really special in these names... but there are a lot I don't know. Cool for You Me At Six. Almost 50% of the line-up. Next announcements will come after Easter. So in 1 month, I guess Wednesday 12 April hopefully.

If their French booker confirmed they are headliner, they should stay like that. Even if there can always be changes of plan... I just check on their website and all regular 1 day ticket cost 75€.

We have all the headliners but I guess we could have some more undercards!

I trully hope Pearl Jam will wait at least 2025 to come back. They were already here last year: 2007 - 2010 - 2012 - 2014 - 2018 - 2022... About SOAD, I'd prefer to see them at Graspop, especially if RATM are at RW next year. Thursday: Rage Against The Machine + The Smashing Pumpkins + Yungblud. Friday: Gorillaz + Dua Lipa + Angele. Saturday: Billie Eilish + My Chemical Romance + Paramore. Sunday: Foo Fighters + Post Malone + Maneskin. This would be too much dreamy for me I guess. But there are a few ideas...

Like you said before, we missed RATM, Billie Eilish and Foo Fighters, right? I guess Stromzy wasn't the initial plan for the first day next to Stromae? If we could have something like RATM + Billie + Foo's + Dua Lipa in 2024...
