Muse are also playing Lowlands after Sziget.

pretty much proves it was a fake then

Oscar and the Wolf as headliners is a joke though. They've been literally everywhere in the last 2 years, even doing free appearances, and no new album? Who is waiting for them? I knew they werd going to be cheap again. IMO missing out on Blur last year and now Muse is unforgivable. They were just a dead certain booking and I am truly gutted that they won't come.

Other than that I'm happy with the names, especially with Chem's and LCD although I think they should be closers and not headliners (especially the Chem's)

So much to digest.

Chase and Fucking Status are playing the Friday so will more than likely be on in the Dance Hall the same time as the Chems a la Deadmau5 and Disclosure to spread the crowd.

From what we've got so far (92 names!) Die Antwoord will close the main on the Thursday I reckon. I think there's still a sub to be added to that day

Friday could be M83, - NGHFB - The Chems 

Saturday could be OATW - LCD and a Closer to come.

 

All in all, a very good start for me and more than enough to convince me to go (the chemical brothers alone would have done that tbh)

If we can get the likes of Haim and Hot Chip added then it could be the best line up in years.

LCD Soundsystem are headlining Saturday.

[Dietediet]

According to Studio Brussel, Oscar &The Wolf is closing the festival after LCD Soundsystem.

[DDave]

Oh, and most importantly.....NO BIEBER.

 

[johnybegood]

Muse isn't coming. They were supposed to play on Saturday an this day we have LCD Soundsystem and Oscar Ant The Wolf (confirmed as festival closing set)

Who will sub Rihanna? -> Bloc Party? EODM? Die Antwoord?

On friday, is Chemical Brothers + NGHFB the headline combo + Chase & Status closing the day?

[TheKiewitGuy]

The headliners (and undercard as well) are a lot better thans last years though. It's just that I rejected going to Muse yesterday in Paleis 12 (some tickets went back on sale) because I was certain they would play. Seems impossible now.

Also some other certain bookings like Jack Garratt and HAIM not there yet.

Die Antwoord, I assume. Neither of the other acts can carry a sub status.

And I'm guessing C&S is closing the Dance Hall during Chemical Brothers' set. Similar to the Deadmau5 - Disclosure clash in 2014.

Tickets still 199 euros, Beer Tokens have gone up in price slightly - 5 for 15 euros now.

What is Craig David's TS5? Is he singing his hits with a band?

[neacaisa]

it's a dj set i think

[Semprini]

Great first announcement, despite Muse not being there (which is no biggie for me but would have obviously raised the status of the line up). Do we know that The Chems are headlining Friday? When I read it on my phone the banner said 'first headliner' and then LCD underneath. The Chems were below that but the wording was singular.

Well happy with Nina Kraviz, Loco Dice, Tale of Us, George Fitzgerald, Job Jobse, Hazard, Sub Focus, Seth Troxler and Ame from the DJ contingent - very strong throughout!

Loads of new names to check out too, looking forward to starting my 'homework' tonight!!

In this poster, also appears Soulwax in the line-up for saturday (but they weren't in the official announcement and they are not in the web page)

[Dietediet]

So Chemical Brothers are actually headlining rather than closing dance act. Bit weak, considering that Deadmau5 and The Prodigy recently played after a (rather) big headliner.

Yeah, Chems followed by C&S on the Main. Did wonder whether C&S would be happy to play another stage after closing the Main a couple of years ago? Nice to see Soulwax there now too.

[DDave]

Fine by me :-)

And Soulwax is a right bonus if they are there.

That's strange. Was definitely on their twitter feed, posted about an hour ago, but seems to have been removed now?

Yeah, looks like it's been removed. Other accounts have posted it, but guess it could be fake.

[Dietediet]

I figure they had to remove it after accidentally confirming Soulwax.

Hoping for you, letting Soulwax opening for LCD Soundsystem will be incredible.

It goes a long way to explaining why Reading is so bad when that's the best Puckelpop could do. 6 at the max on the lineup I'd bother with.
