Bastille is a headliner...

[DDave]

No Blur......where the fuck are Blur?????

[DDave]

Bastille is a headliner...

You are joking me?

[Dietediet]

You are joking me?

Nope... It's been said on Studio Brussel. Linkin Park headlining Thursday, Bastille headlining Friday, headliner for Saturday still to come.

[Saeglopur]

Bastille is a headliner...

:banghead: :haha: :fuck:

[Dietediet]

This is just...... plain shit.

Quite some interesting mid-sized and small names. But seriously? Bastille headlining? Linkin Park, The Offspring and Limp Bizkit have been irrelevant for 10 years, yet they're all high on the lineup. This is far from a 190 euro lineup.

Where's Blur? Beck? The Libertines? Ride?

Edit: I take back those things about selling out fast. This could well be the first Pukkelpop since 2009 that doesn't sell out, unless they deliver an outstanding second package of names.

So pissed off. As Diet Diet says, some good mid range stuff on there but the subs and headliners are atrocious.

Bastille..fucking Bastille. I bet they thought it was a pisstake when they took the call.

[johnybegood]

Festileaks is shit!! This year their sources told them that Underworld and Faith No More were nailed for Werchter and their inside sources for Pukkelpop that Blur was nailed... Every year, the same story.

EDIT: 30th anniversary?? No free drink tickets this year... Where the f*** is that money????

The headliners are a bonus for me but Bastille is poor by any standard. I know they like to give bands their first crack at it but where would they feature at other festivals, say like RW? Early evening on the Main is my guess. They seriously need someone like Blur on Saturday to redeem the situation.

As for the rest of the line up, its looking ace. Love the fact they've gone heavy on the techno this year with Len Faki, Adam Beyer, Kareen, Machinedrum and Ten Walls. Rebel Sound, Sigma, Black Sun Empire, Sigma and the amazing Spor all tick the DnB box and there's a lot of excellent left-field artists like Four Tet, Hud Mo, John Talabot and Little Dragon. Tame Impala, The War on Drugs, Seasick Steve, Jurassic 5, Roots Manuva, Allah Las and Parov Stelar are all welcome additions for me. Will have a good look through the rest when I get home tonight.

Analyzing the size of the name of each band in last part of the video that they have posted in Facebook:, it seems:

Thursday: Limp Bizkit subbing - Linkin Park headlining

Friday: Ellie Gouldging subbing - Bastille headlining

Saturday: The Offspring subbing - ???? headlining

Unbeliveable

Ellie Goulding -> Bastille -> Major Lazer should be prohibited by law

I don't mind that the headliners are rubbish. The Main Stage is always my least favourite one, so the fewer times I need to go there the better.

Plenty of mid-range names to keep me happy (Underworld, FFS, Interpol), and I'm sure there are many happy discoveries to be made among the load I don't know.
