Pukkelpop 2015

[DDave]

Alanis Morrisette, Coldplay and even Bob Dylan are my latest predictions.

[Thebrokenleg]

Way Out West has announced a couple of acts for 2015, and since WOW and Pukkelpop shared a lot of acts this year, I am guessing some of these will turn up at PKP as well.

These have been confirmed thus far:

Patti Smith

Florence & The Machine

Future Islands

Alt-J

Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell

Flying Lotus

Future Brown

Father John Misty

Foxygen

Tthe Julie Ruin

Little Simz

[TheNewUnion]

I'd like to see Emmylou Harris.

Wondering if Florence would be big enough to headline? Personally I hope not, but she does seem inexplicably massive.

[Dietediet]

Florence is already subbing Werchter though, let's hope she leaves it to that.

Flying Lotus is a perfect Castello headliner in my opinion.

I really hope she does. Couldn't stand her screeching for more than a couple of songs.

[Semprini]

Agree that Flying Lotus is a shoe in to be there but also think we'll see Caribou at some point over the weekend. Watched them headline the Club a few years back and they were great. Reckon they will take up a higher slot this time though, either sub or top of the pile in the Marquee is my guess.

[Thebrokenleg]

WOW has booked Belle & Sebastian and Caribou, so they might show up.

[TheNewUnion]

Would love to see Belle & Sebastian, fingers crossed.

[DDave]

Happy New Year all.

Coachella line up announced

Steely Dan, strange one!

Can see Jack White coming out of that lot.

[Semprini]

Happy New Year to you too Dave, and to all the other Efests PKP crew!

Just seen the line up and there's quite a lot I'd happily take. No surprise that it's quite dance heavy but if you ignore the dross like Guetta and the Swedes there's a lot of quality there. Got a feeling we will get SBTRKT but would love Hot Natured, Chet Faker and the Gaslamp Killer Experience. Like the look of the Jackmaster, Eats Everything, Skream and Seth Troxler collab, that deserves a night to itself in the Castello.

Funny seeing Kasabian that far down the poster, Serge and Tom will have a major hissy fit when they find out.

[DDave]

Didn't even see them!

[DDave]

Local sources said a couple of weeks ago that Underworld would be at RW so The Chems were the one I had more hope for. Will be so pissed off if RW get them both again.

Chems confirmed for RW. Bastard.

[DDave]

Sorry, didn't see that already posted

I need my eyes testing.

[TheNewUnion]

Steely Dan, Steely Dan, Steely Dan. I'd absolutely love it if they played.

[DDave]

I'd be amazed if Steely Dan turned up.

Drake however surely is a shoe in to be this years Eminem/Mackelmore.

I'm hoping for a big improvement on the main stagers this year after a couple of really poor years imo

And some sun would be nice!

Bit unexpected but it seems we may be getting some news very soon. A message was tweeted this afternoon from the official account that suggests it could be this weekend. Festileaks have picked up on it but I haven't translated the page yet to see what they think. I'm friends with a guy on Facebook who's pretty high up in the organisation and he shared the message and picture too, with just a couple of exclamation marks as his comment.

Can anyone remember when they opened the wish list last year? I'm sure it was before Christmas so either they're doing that again (but a bit later) or we may get something more exciting. The website has changed too, it's now lots of flowers shooting up.

Someone handy with computers checked something in the source code and found a line of text saying 'lijstjestijd'. So we'll probably get the wish lists.

[dreesmop]

Monday you can send your wishlist (lijstjestijd)

[Noeliam]

How is the wishlist something importantedit: "exciting"? Isn't it late for a wishlist anyway?

It's a long standing and popular tradition with the Pukkelpop crowd, so it makes sense to create a bit of hype. They once confirmed they actually use the wishlists for inspiration to fill up smaller slots, so it isn't that late, although apparently it was in December last time?

[johnybegood]

If Foo Fighters came back to pukkelpop one year after the storm, Eminem came back to headline PKP 2 years after the storm and if dEUS is going to perform in some festivals in 2015... I'm afraid that dEUS is a candidate to headline one night in 2015. I hope that Rock Werchter or Dour save us!!!

ACDC

Kasabian

Gaz Coombes

Victories at Sea

Emperor Yes

Are mine. The last two are pretty unknown so if they're at PP I want a cut! Victories at Sea are particularly good live.

[DDave]

ACDC now doing a gig in Belgium so that'd pretty much rule them out I'd imagine.

Feels like a wasted wish list space now.

A belated happy new year everybody. Have to say I'm struggling to guess who will be playing this year, though I would take half of the bands at this festival in America

http://shakykneesfestival.com

Have a strong feeling Noel Gallgher will be one headliner, and I think Drake was a good shout by Dave. Acts I would like to see, Emmylou Harris would be great, loved the Teleman and Jane Weaver albums from last year, would also like to see Ride. Line ups seem to be coming out early this year so fingers crossed for news soon.

[DDave]

Pissed Jeans are the first self confirmation.
