I really don't get why you would sleep there tonight just to have a good spot, but then again, I go home by bike so can't really relate . Really? Last year I was half way camping Chill and even then I was at the festival site in no time. Crazy youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKiewitGuy Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) @Death By Sexy Weird thing is they were all gone just half an hour ago. No idea what that was about. Maybe some people that had to come work or whatever and they arrived at the wrong spot? Anyway, I'm completely hyped now! Having some pre-drinks with the group now. Have a good festival everyone! I'd come to the meeting too, but I wake up around 12 or something and never arrive before 2:30-3 pm.

The crew camping is right beside Camping Chill. I am pre drinking on my own. Just one beer while listening to Superorganism. I'll be at the gates tomorrow around 10am.

Chimme Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Major improvement this year: the new Check-in. So much faster! Your wristband contains a QR code that you have to scan. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arnold Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 What a great job has done Chokri’s daughter, with her ideas for the line-up. Next year they will try to book all Kardashian family playing covers. Now they will have to make lot of refunds, not good for their financial issues. After Rihanna and Travis Scott, have they learnt the lesson?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef_P82 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Couldn't care less tbh. Have to say, getting a wristband and entering the festival is great this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this 'unexpected' cancelation has been known for days/weeks. Announcing that your Friday headliner won't be playing 1 day beforehand, while you could've at least done that a week ago, is egregious.... This festival (I once loved) continues to surprise me. Why are you so sure? Mister Scott canceled last-minute two years ago as well. He’s a twat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the prick has also cancelled his appearance at Blockfest in Finland (2nd time he's cancelled Finland as well) They've replaced him with Nas. Just goes to show that replacements are out there at short notice if the festival can be arsed picking up the phone and paying the money. Anyway, site looks good. Not a fan of the walk boards theyve put down, seem a bit unnecessary tbh, but yeah - checking in and getting the wristband was a breeze.

Those invitations to perform for the MTV Awards get send out weeks before, like Dave said it was reported the 8th but I'm 100% his mgmt and the organisation knew this way before that date and I'm sure he canceled even before the 8th. It's just another easy way to still grab the money of the kids that wanted to see Scott with him at the top of the bill instead of just communicating that he's not coming some time beforehand and actually trying to get a decent replacement. This move from PKP only comes very douchy over and shows no sympathy whatsoever to their target audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnybegood Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 I saw Floggin’ Molly live stream at home and they were so great and Main Stage was packed with people jumping, moshing and singing loud. Who said that rock bands do not have any kind of interest for Pukkelpop audience? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted August 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Turned into an amazing night after a fairly slow start. Didn't really get going till UMO and then absolute lift off from there. Arcade Fire were amazing as usual but The War on Drugs were absolutely outstanding. Really wasn't expecting that. One of the best gigs I've ever seen. Now for Shit Friday :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
