Gonna go for Kendrick subbing Rihanna. The Cranberries are announcing dates in August, but I'm not sure if Chokri would book a band like them nowadays with the new direction he has given to the festival big names, after booking bands like Nine Inch Nails or Neil Young a few years ago Edited April 27, 2016 by johnybegood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karam Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Sziget just released the line up to their deep house/minimalist club (the colosseum) so we'll probably get some of these names. I think Sia will sub for Rihanna since she'll be in Europe in August and she's pretty big. Still hoping we get some more good DJs and maybe Selah Sue and Oh Wonder. By the way, what time does the party end in Pukkelpop and when do they kick you out of the festival site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some really nice names in the Sziget announcement, would love to see Sasha and Digweed at PKP but doubt it will happen. Not convinced we'll get any more 'big' names but agree that if we do Sia will be about the height of it. Main Stages close at 2am Thurs and Fri (1am Sat) but the Boiler goes on until 4am every night (including Wednesday). International DJs finish at 2am and local ones finish off each night, with Saturday always being Michael Midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper than the former, they were supposed to play the storm year some months before calling it quits, and they've just reunited. It's the typical PKP booking and maybe Reading/Leeds had payed for annoucing them first. Why are Frank Turner and Frank Carter ruled out? Good shout on Good Charlotte. No big names. Although some decent additions. I think we can safely assume that we'll be getting the remaining sub headliners from RW.

Karam Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Foals and maybe Disclosure (both playing Lowlands) will be the remaining sub headliners the way I see it. Glass Animals are pretty good, looking forward to see them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted April 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Nao is excellent, as are Dusky. Still nothing to wet your knickers over as a whole though and certainly nothing that's gonna shift a load more tickets.

Semprini Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Well happy with Dusky. They only played their first live show a week or two ago so was hoping they'd get announced. A lot of trap DJs this time, which isn't my thing at all, but will give the other names a listen over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Miike Snow amongst others announced for Lowlands and Rock En Seine this morning. I'd be really disappointed if they weren't at Pukkelpop. Edited May 3, 2016 by DiscothequeDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDave Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Miike Snow, brilliant. not too fussed on the rest. Shaping up to be a decent line up, Thursday needs a few more decent additions though. Edited May 17, 2016 by DiscothequeDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semprini Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Anne-Marie's pretty good - saw her a couple of times last year with Rudimental. A few of the others look like they're worth a listen so will do a bit of research. Got at least 20 acts each day already but most of them are DJs and live dance bands. Could do with a few more guitar bands but still got quite a few albums to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnybegood Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'm so happy with NOFX and Marky Ramone. In my opinion this year is the best line-up for me since the storm year. Shelter Stage will be great again with names as NOFX, Opeth, Marky Ramone, Thrice, Mastodon, Refused, Beach Slang, Neurosis or Comeback Kid instead of shitty metalcore... Good for Chokri for making that stage great again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semprini Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Picked up a couple of bits of info today - Marky Ramone is headlining the Shelter on Saturday night and Lone will play in the Castello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDave Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Oooh, two new stages https://www.pukkelpop.be/en/news/two-new-stages-lift-and-booth/113/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semprini Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Be interesting to see where the two new stages are, I suspect they might be in the Petit Bazaar and the eco area near the entrance. Conceivable though that The Booth is somewhere near the Dance Hall, provided that's still where it normally is. Might be all change this year? Just had a quick scan through the bios of the artists playing in The Booth and there's quite a mix of genres and nationalities. Thought it would all be Belgian DJs but I'm impressed by the range on offer. Hunee, Denis Sulta and Fritz Wentink all sound decent but will probably be more a case of wandering past to see who's on when I've got some down time.

Petit Bazaar is a wasted area after 8pm so my guess is that the Booth at least will be in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a massive amount, but theres been a few Pukkelpop headliners or sub headliners from the RW line up that is announced nearer the time of RW or after it. Alt-J were that band last year. I think there will be two PP sub headliners from the RW line up. I think it's very possible that any out of Iggy Pop, New Order, Foals or Disclosure will be announced.

Last year: Enter Shikari, Alt-J, De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig, Christine & The Queens, The Last International and Tout Va Bien This year: Bazart and Mura Masa, so i'm expecting some more will follow, Foals will be my first guess, but BMTH, Iggy, LSP, are possible to i guess.

Karam Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 If you look at Pukkelpop's Spotify playlist that they put on Snapchat there's a Selah Sue song, does this mean she's coming? And also on their Snapchat they put a song over Jamie XX's album art for In Colour so?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also on their Snapchat they put a song over Jamie XX's album art for In Colour so?.. Wouldn't read too much into it. The Selah Sue song is a collaboration with Maverick, who is already on the lineup. It's probably just the most appealing Maverick song they could pick for Belgian audiences. And I doubt Jamie XX will play since he did Pukkelpop last year, is doing Werchter this year and hasn't got any European dates listed around that time.
