neacaisa Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I guess they could be in the mix now for Pukkelpop and even Sziget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you :-) Good start anyway. They'll be playing the 17th or 18th. Sub or Marquee headliner I'd have thought, depending on the strength of the line up.

They'll be headlining the second biggest stage (a tent) at Sziget, if it's any indication! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmemartina Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 This Interpol news might be the best thing ever, considering they‘ll be playing their first album in its entirety. I‘m so excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semprini Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Deadmau5 at SW4 - big contender now for Main Stage closer. Expect Interpol to headline Marquee as they subbed Paolo Nutini in 2015. Also think the fact they're doing an album in full will mean they won't play the Main.

Wonder if it's someone who hasn't announced any dates yet and a few festivals will break the news together tomorrow? I can't think of any examples off the top of my head but I know there's been times in the past when other August festivals have got the first scoop on a headliner well before PKP announced they were also playing. Perhaps they want to match the competition this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietediet Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Probably just non-musical news though. I can't see Chokri's daughter getting the scoop on a high-profile announcement. From what I've heard she's just posting those teasing tweets to get attention from her peers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking that, along the lines of Rihanna but with a better name and under better circumstances, i.e. not taking her due to 'security' issues. Eminem would be the obvious one, or maybe Neil Young is finally honouring his cancellation. Unless it's a couple of French Robots ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Pukkelpop 2017 will be a 4 full days festival? Maybe they will annouce tomorrow that wednesday all stages will be opened? Just guessing...

That would make sense although she was tweeting similar things just before RIhanna got announced last year if I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they want to match the competition this year? Thinking about this a little more in depth it'd have to be either someone massive who's not on tour yet as you said or a European festival exclusive. Neil Young would fit the bill as would Eminem. Not many others would I don't think...Metallica would be the obvious metal contender or if they're going down the pop route again, Beyonce or Taylor Swift. Can't see them doing that though tbh. Theres always the golden oldies - the Stones being the most obvious as there have been rumours of a few festivals signing a massive deal with them. Or it's just Snow Patrol.

DaveRSV4 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Or maybe...it's just Chokri's daughter drawing attention to herself again. No official news or anouncement by Pukkelpop, so I really can't see big news coming our way today because of one of Sarah's numerous tweets.

SilverLining Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 From Sziget I definitely take Metronomy, Flume, Interpol (self announced), The Kills, Kasabian (closing main???), Cruystal Fighters + Jagwar Ma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dietediet Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Turns out her Tweet hinting at something Pukkelpop-related today was just about a wishlist flyer action in the center of Hasselt. As people mentioned here before: just a teenage girl trying to get attention from her Pukkelpop-loving peers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) From the new lot, I'd take Kasabian, Fatboy Slim and hopefully Circa Waves will play after cancelling last year.
