The number 1 pick on the wishlists has been booked. Twenty One Pilots most probably.

Maybe...but it could just as well be Foo Fighters or Ed Sheeran.

It will be announced pretty soon.

Or Foos I reckon

Yeah could be them, seen a lot more wishlists for TOP though. They're both 99%-ers really.

Lot of whishlists with TOP and lot of them with Bastille. Maybe the two most requested artists in social media.

Summer Sonic announces its first acts over 3 days from the 16th Jan, first Green Man acts on the 29th. 

Tame Impala and Pond added to Oya. Both welcome at Pukkelpop.

Tame Impala announced for La Route Du Rock on the Thursday. Great first name for what's not a massive festival.

Think we can safely say they're heading to Pukkelpop. The National & Tame Impala on the same night a la Arcade Fire and TWOD?

Edit - announced 4 days ago, surprised I missed it. Interesting to see they have changed their dates to the Wed-Sat after a low selling Sunday (with a great line up as well). They've said it would make it easier to attract a bigger name that they can't get on the Friday or Saturday. Looks like its paid off

Dour announcement this afternoon! Curious to find out which names we definitely won't see @ PKP...

[DDave]

Red Hot Chili Peppers for Summer Sonic so ruled out for Pukkelpop. Looks like it's just the headliners over the three days. Tomorrow's headliner is Japanese.

Bastille ruled out. Great news.

Came here to post this. Great news indeed.

I have to say, I'm very jealous about some of the names Dour dropped...

 To be honest I don't mind them booking shite headliners for the Main as long as there are good alternatives in the Club/Castello/Lift like last year. Having said that: RW booking Bastille to sub PINK on thursday increases the chances of getting Tame Impala at PKP. For me personal, of all the potential headliners being named here it's the only one I really would like to see.

Robyn is playing Smash Fest (these names get worse!) in Sweden on the Saturday. Can't see her doing that sandwiched between both Lowlands and Pukkelpop. She does have a Dutch gig in April and noticeably no Belgian date so would be more likely to do Pukkelpop if either of the two you'd think.

Can't see her announced anywhere, unless you have info that states otherwise.

Maybe cause she hasn't been announced yet.

It always used to be Rock Werchter that I was most concerned about in terms of 'losing' names to but in the past few years Dour has taken over in that respect. That could change tomorrow though so hope I haven't talked it up!! We usually get at least a few names from the RW line up but as it's so close to PKP there's virtually no overlap with Dour. I'd have definitely taken DJ Marky, Solomun, Bicep, George Fitzgerald, Paula Temple, I Hate Models and Richie Hawtin from their last announcement.

Pretty sure we'll get the first Lowlands names next week so that will give us the best idea yet of what to expect.

[DDave]

Chainsmokers ruled out (Summer Sonics 3rd and final headliner)

[DDave]

Elbow, Brockhampton, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Janelle Monáe, Khruangbin, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Angèle, New Order, Mac DeMarco and $uicideboy$

for RW. 

the Good the Bad and the Queen and New Order probably the ones I thought we might have had. 

No Robyn just yet @arcuse

Not sad about this news

[TheNewUnion]

@DDave We've got Robyn to look forward to at NOS. Obviously Elbow and New Order would have been sold bookings for PKP, and I don't know what a BrockHampton is. 

Janelle was great a few years back at PKP. 

[DDave]

Whitney from that list please. Bloc Party are likely, having played Pukkelpop loads of times already.

Glad Yeasayer and Whitney are back! 

[Semprini]

Definitely take Yeasayer from that list and think we'll get Little Simz too as she's exactly the kind of act they like to have in the Dance Hall now.

Seen that Creamfields have booked Adam Beyer x Cirez D - we so need this combo at PKP. Would be my headliner whatever night they played.

Tomorrowland posted they'd have another stage dedicated to Prydz for both weekends, so don't think so.
