Pukkelpop 2017

[neacaisa]

I guess they could be in the mix now for Pukkelpop and even Sziget.

Interpol just announced a european tour for the 15th anniversary of "Turn on the Bright Lights", including a stop in Hasselt.

For Pukkelpop or a separate date?

I'd say Pukkelpop.

It says Hasselt on the video (just after Munich, which is on the 16th on the website) but nothing on their website!

Well we have our first confirmation then!

Should've taken a screenshot, but I can assure you that I saw it

Someone has taken one on twitter. 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!

Marquee at PP is 8000 capacity. As I say, all depends on the strength of the line up.

This Interpol news might be the best thing ever, considering they‘ll be playing their first album in its entirety. I‘m so excited!

[Semprini]

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.

Names tomorrow possibly....

Or just one name? 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?

[Dietediet]

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...

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 ;-)

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.

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]

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.

[jakecase]

What is Chokri's daughters Twitter handle?

[SilverLining]

From Sziget I definitely take Metronomy, Flume, Interpol (self announced), The Kills,  Kasabian (closing main???), Cruystal Fighters + Jagwar Ma.

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.

[DDave]

From the new lot, I'd take Kasabian, Fatboy Slim and hopefully Circa Waves will play after cancelling last year.
