Obviously I don't understand a word

He just explained the concept and asked the visitors to not leak stuff through social media. They're apparently shooting a promo clip there.

At 3pm the lineup gets announced both at the youth centre and on social media. We'll get 118 (!) names.

Thought we'd get about 100 or so names, got to be loads of stuff we'll all like and look forward to seeing!!

Fingers crossed for the line up of the summer!!

[DDave]

Wow, 118 names, if there's nothing people like out of this announcement they need to go and have a word with themselves.

[Dietediet]

Wow, 118 names, if there's nothing people like out of this announcement they need to go and have a word with themselves.

The downside: big run on the tickets.

[DDave]

When did they go on sale last year, any idea?

[TheNewUnion]

The downside: big run on the tickets.

On the subject of which, what's the on sale date? Give that I have booked my flight already, I'm kind of committed to going!

[Dietediet]

Usually the week after the first names, so next week Tuesday or Wednesday?

[TheNewUnion]

THey normally go on sale in the evening, right? Last couple of festivals I had the "early pass" from being there during the storm, that's over now so it's general sale for me. Should be OK though, I suppose as it's not sold out on day 1 for the last 5 years I've been going (had it?).

[SoLoCo]

Getting excited!!!

[Semprini]

Don't think there's any danger of it selling out straight away, it was only about 4 years ago that it sold out for the first time in its history.

Hoping to get tickets for the Big Weekend next Tuesday, as it's in my home city, so if the PKP ones go on sale that day too it could be a great (or disappointing!) day for me!

[DDave]

Anyone fancy giving us a curveball name that hasn't been mentioned in this forum yet to make it a bit more exciting? (not that it needs to be any more exciting, my stomachs churning enough as it is)

I'll go Steel Panther.

[Dietediet]

Not expecting it to be straight away either (the only time that happened was the Foo Fighters day in 2012, and mainly thanks to the 2011 ticket holders). But with a killer lineup, which I expect it to be, weekend tickets might just sell out in a month. Especially considering the other Benelux festivals are considered to have a weak lineup so far, and a lot of people are awaiting the Pukkelpop names before making festival decisions.

Anyway, I don't want it to go fast because I need to await the date of my thesis deadline, which is supposed to be mid-August. Let's hope they don't coincide.

Curveball - Mozzer (who pulls out after catching sight of met products on sale)

[Semprini]

Linkin Park and Boys Noize confirmed by people at the youth centre.

[TheNewUnion]

Linkin Park, Offspring, Bastille by the looks of twitter. Think we knew that anyway (with possible exception of Bastille)

[Diocane]

So the headlining slots are...?

[DDave]

190 euros a ticket now. Was expecting an increase due to the euro being shit at the moment.

[TheNewUnion]

None of the above.

[Dietediet]

None of the above.

Linkin park will definitely be a headliner then.

[DDave]

So that's about 40 percent of the first line up done.

I don't think that info's accurate, they just copied last year's prices.

[TheNewUnion]

Linkin park will definitely be a headliner then.

So, from 5:20pm to headliners in about 4 years with nothing to warrant it. Very poor indeed
