Pukkelpop 2018

Looking good so far. Love Arcade Fire,  saw them late last year on the US leg of the tour. Brilliant from start to finish (also going to the Manchester show in a couple of weeks). Great set list, great energy. I wonder if they will try to do the "in the round" show at festivals?

I'm glad they announced a proper headliner today and not an artist that you wouldn't expect as a headliner (genre: Bastille)

Seen them last year at Best Kept Secret with an amazing show and I can't wait to see them back in Antwerp and PKP.

Mashrou' Leila is the most famous lebanese band at the moment, and they're very good :) If they do get announced to Pukkelpop check them out :)

Also, I might be buying a day ticket to come see Arcade Fire on the thursday, right after Sziget! So might meet with some of you :) cheers

Well...Kendrick, Arcade Fire and N.E.R.D. are the PERFECT headliners for the smaller names i want to see announced by Pukkelpop! :)

Unfortunately the Rock En Seine announcement doesn't looks good to me... :(

Ok, Justice would make for a good addition to the main stage (gone are the days of their best form, but it's normal for a main stage act), and Bonobo is always a feel good act, but the smaller names are a bit of a letdown...i would be happy for Dirty Projectors (but i don't like the last record), Cigarettes After Sex are not my cup of tea but they are good (but they play in a music festival i collaborate with in my city in June), and i highly recommend King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard if you haven't seen them yet...BUT...

Unfortunately no trace of what i really hope for at Pukkelpop...

What is it you're hoping for?

Big names: Vampire Weekend and Lykke Li

To make a serious wishlist of smaller names i'll include only possible artists: Princess Nokia, Young Fathers, Moses Sumney (i've already seen him live and...he's really impressive, how he uses his voice, i prefer him live than on record), Japanese Breakfast, Soccer Mommy, Lucy Dacus, Hookworms.

Other artists that i'm not sure if are already ruled out: Noname, Julien Baker, Sandy (alex G), Phoebe Bridgers.

Of course there are A LOT of "fun" acts that i hope to find there (an Hot Chip's DJ Set for example), but i need Pukkelpop to give me the possibility to see artists that are difficult to see in Italy (as it usually does in the end, i'm sure it will even this year...maybe not with the names i want, but with something equally interesting! ;) )

Couldn't post for the past hours, the reply button wouldn't load for some reason <_<.

I take everything back. When I saw the reflector man on their Facebook story, I became EUFORIC. The top-line is the best in years for me already, exactly what I think they should be doing every year. And with Greg's prediction for the undercard, this edition is on track to become the best in years! I'd watch all acts they've already announced so far.

Whatever guys if you're reading this, book Imagine Dragons. I couldn't care less. Hapiness for everyone. And probably a great Marquee name playing at that time if they continue the road they've taken this year.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
