Pukkelpop 2013

Just bought tickets. Have to camp at campsite B due to others being full. How far is he walk to the festival site?

Also when is the next announcement, and I assume they'll mainly be smaller acts?

Cheers

I think that this week or maybe next, belgian artists will be announced and also we'll have the stage splits. Last year Snoop Dog and Keane were announced really late and in 2011, Kasabian was announced in late july... soooo keep your faith... everything is posible in Pukkelpop!!!

questions:

*is there any wifi zone or computers with internet around the festival site?

if so is it free or in pay?

*about the mobile phone charge

does all the charging posts are in pay? how much it cost per minute/hour?

thanks

[Dietediet]

can someone please answer me for those questions?

and one more question

is there any chance of meeting the bands backstage or somewhere else during the festival?

thanks

The whole site was supposed to be covered by Wi Fi if I remember rightly last year. Don't think it worked that great though.

Don't think you've got much chance of getting backstage let alone meeting any bands there, although we did manage it one year (but that's another story!). There's a reasonable possibility you may see some of the less-known ones wandering around the arena though so keep your eyes peeled. We met Seasick Steve in the Marquee the first year we went and I watched the Naked and Famous with a few members of Wolfgang in 2011 so you may bump into someone. If you're really into 'celeb' spotting then your best bet is to stay in one of the hotels in Hasselt, preferably the Radisson. This is where all the headliners stop, as they're the only people who can afford the rooms. We always see quite a few bands in the Holiday Inn Express each year but it's usually the smaller ones who are on a budget.

Picked up a couple of new albums this week from bands that have now been added to my 'must see' list. Can't wait to check out Beware of Darkness live and been really getting into Don Broco too, even though I've only listened to both albums a couple of times. Got absolutely no idea how I'm going to fit everything in over the three days though and I'm certain they'll be some tough decisions to make once the timetable comes out.

and looking at it ... can see most being on the sat as that seems at a lower count than the rest .. or its my eyes playing a trick on me

[Dietediet]

Usually the last announcement is in July, so there's more to come indeed. Though don't expect more than 5-10, and most likely nothing too big.

Which is that fest?

I'm still saying there'll be a biggish addition to the Saturday night.

Flights booked today. Change of hotel done (closer to the pub. Very important) cannot wait.

Clutching at straws but on the Ppop poster and website each day has two headliners in the same sized font apart from Saturday, happy with the line up as is but if they were to add a reformed Led Zeppelin id be content (i know thats not going to happen).

All sorted now and cant wait to get there, been checking out Ppop radio and found loads of good new bands that I will inevitably miss as I enjoy the delights of Hasselt.

[amfest12]

if Led Zeppelin are coming I will buy you all a beer

it will be nice to see one more good name on Saturday

(The Offspring or The Cure maybe?)

but the lineup is great and we all have a lot of bands to see on each day

Does anybody know of any local hotels to stay at during the festival, or even in neighbouring towns that it would be relatively easy to get back to at night?

I love camping but the flight costs shoot up with extra baggage etc (I know hotel will add also, but at least I'd feel the benefit and not the airline company).

Thanks.

The holiday Inn now has rooms available as well.
