Pukkelpop 2015

[Diocane]

Special guest at Reading Festival won't be any headlining size act probably alt j. For what concerns the other festival I think they just can't find headliners, don't think they're waiting for someone special

[DDave]

So wishes for the next round then...

For me, pretty much the 3 acts I thought were sure to be announced already. Hot Chip, Azealia Banks and Beck would turn around the line up for me.. I've all but given up on the headliners so am hoping for good filler to make the undercard stronger, particularly the Thursday and Friday. Can't see them going for Kasabian although they'd be great for me. Florence would be much more likely I reckon.

Robert Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters + Mika announced for Lokerse Fest. We can rule them out.

My guess is that either they're failing to book someone headliner worthy, or it's a RW act that required waiting until the festival sold out (Florence or Kasabian).

I agree with this, I think they are having trouble finding someone. I feel like that's the reason the tickets aren't on sale yet with no news of when they will be. Unless they have something spectacular and want to have a huge ticket sale on day one, I feel that they are afraid of putting tickets on sale as the sales could/would be pretty poor with the names they have so far.

Disappointed, was hoping to see Plant.

[DDave]

Yep.

A band called John Coffey have self confirmed.

[Muppetmark]

the biggest name on the RES announcement was kasabian...

handbrakes (mr ozio & boys noize) would be good off it though.

Kasabian can't be our 3rd headliner because their are playing V festival on saturday...

Dietediet's "Florence theory" is becoming more and more and more posible...

Ah, forgot they were doing V

Doesn't rule them out of co-headlining with Bastille and absolutely blowing them off the stage though :-)

So presale is next week.

Remind me again, who and what's this presale for?

Where did you pick that up from Disco? Was just thinking it had gone a bit quiet at Pukkelpop HQ. Under normal circumstances, I'd say a presale was for fans/customers of specific mobile phone networks etc to get tickets early but in this case (and I don't recall a presale before, other than for the people who were there in the storm year) I kind of get the impression they'll be trying to gauge demand. Hopefully, if they are missing a headline, they might go easy on the price for people who commit early. My ticket for NOS Alive in Portugal was a presale/early bird, bought before any bands announced (I think) and was 20 or so euro cheaper than the full price tickets.

Or it's probably none of that.

It's on the PP (Unofficial) fb page.

Very much doubt it'll be cheaper though. Maybe people who bought a ticket last year will get first dibs, but again, highly doubt that.

[Dietediet]

I don't think they'll do a special presale for certain people, it's not really usual in Belgium.

As for the 15th: that date is coming from Linkin Park, who put it in the Pukkelpop announcement on their own website. But since no word on that is coming from Pukkelpop itself + the 15th is in the middle of a Belgian holiday period, I don't think the date is right.

Probably more news in 1,5 week, when holidays are over.

[DDave]

Drake announced for Opener. this alludes to him only having 3 European dates. Hopefully this is correct and we can rule him out for pp.

What's the third one? Who said he'll do just three dates? Just to know

Wireless festivals

[DDave]

2 London, 1 Poland.

[thetime]

So are the headliners currently Bastille and linkin Park?

Will underworld be a main stage closer?

Nope, that'll go to Netsky. Underworld will close the Marquee I reckon, after Either the War on Drugs or Tame Impala.

[TheNewUnion]

TWOD or Tame Impala then Underworld in the Marquee would be spectacular. I'm in.

[Diocane]

2 London, 1 Poland.

Oh yes, I forgot he scheduled double Wireless show. But what is this thing about only 3 euro shows?

[DDave]

This summer, Drake is the headliner of the two major US festivals - California's Coachella and GovBall in New York. Drake arrives to Europe only three concerts. Two plays in London and one in Gdynia, the Open'er Festival.

Translated from the last paragraph.

[Diocane]

Oh, that page.. In my opinion they're just summarizing what's drake's tour at the moment. Don't think they know anything else about his plans.

[johnybegood]

13th April and no news... so tickets won't be on sale this wedbesday.

Once Drake and KoL are 100% ruled out... I can't find any "new" headliner on the way, some sub or 3rd Werchter Band is the most that we can expect....

Total silencie in social media in the last 15 days... they must be so sure that they will sell out again independently of they line-up...

Let's wait and see

Apparently 3rd Glastonbury headliner not announced till June. Lollapalooza Berlin's headliner is announced 1st June as well. We could be in for a long wait?

[Diocane]

Green day, the killers, the strokes, kanye, rihanna.. all have just few shows announced this spring/summer.. Could be realistic options?

And also.. Are Blur 100% ruled out?
