Bloody hell. They've hardly pushed the boat out, have they. Some piss poor bookings this year. Wonder if they were let down by some acts who they had planned in to fill the gaps?

Pappa Roach wouldn't sell out my local pub (I'll probably watch them for that one song I know)

Think they'll go down well with the Belgians. If you're a rock/metal fan then Fridays a good day. If you're not and you don't like drum and bass and mumble rap, then you're fucked.

I'm wondering if this years strategy is to let it seem like there is big names to come and then bumping up names to those empty slots and booking cheaper bands to prop the day up. Happened several times now. Shithouse thing to do if it's done on purpose.

Saturday: King Tuff-Marlon Williams or Confidence Man (this is a really tricky one, cannot decide which way to go)-Chase Atlantic-Rolling Blackouts CF-GOGO Penguin-Roisin-Jungle or King Giz-Justice-Kendrick (to see what all the fuss is about, I will almost certainly not like it and go somewhere else)

Confidence Man will be one of the sets of the weekend. I like MW but it's no contest for me. Jungle again are great but King Giz are one of the top live bands in the world for me right now so they get my vote again.

They're the two big decisions for Saturday. I would like to see Marlon Williams but I think I will ultimately lean towards the funner side of the clash to Confidence Man might well win. King Giz v Justice, I think it's a coin flip for me.

Thursday seems to be falling pretty well for me so far. Phoebe Bridgers or Flogging Molly a possible clash (but when you've seem on Boston Irish "punk" band, I suppose you've seen them all so might go for PB), everything else on Thurs runs pretty well, with some good gaps for food and beers.

Thursday falls great for me too, pretty much flipping between the Main and the Marquee. Superorganism/Dirty Projectors/Rag n Bone Man is really only the clash of the day. Will probably go for Rag n Bone Man, or Dirty Projectors if its raining.

I gave it a try but 3 songs in and Travis Scott's album is utter shite. Even the one with Tame Impala. Worst Pukkelpop headliner ever.

hear hear !! Credits to you for "sticking in there"! 3 songs?!

He has a song with Tame Impala? Wtf is Tame Impala doing?

You should check his live performances, they are disastrous/hilarious/weird.

The weather forecast predicts lower temperatures and some rain. I really hope so, it would be a desert otherwise. 

Looks incredibly dry. Don't want it to rain whilst we're there of course but it definitely needs a shower or two. I remember it being like this in 2013 I think it was - pillow and bed were covered in sand/dust in the morning after the first day.

    • 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. 🙂
