Pinkpop 2020

Festileaks PP forum open in one of your other tabs, don't you Ken ?

But I take it that probably 2 out of the 3 headliners have been signed already; and number 3 is at the final negotiation stage.... Of course there is always a chance a band cancels due to unforeseen circumstances like Ken pointed out already.

What about Pearl Jam? Reading the fanforum they say if they do the same schedule again Pearl Jam could play Ziggo Dome juist before Pinkpop.

They will not tour sooner because of Eddie Vedders daughter turning 16 on june 11. Ziggo Dome is availible just before Pinkpop. So they could play there again and then play the first day of Pinkpop.......

They did PinkPop in 2018 - will not do again that soon. RW is a different thing.

 

btw. I was at that PJ @ PinkPop show, not their best but still good ;)

could you please elaborate why Werchter i different thing?

I also thought about Twenty One Pilots, they should be free on the friday but I'm not sure if they could carry a full day on their own....... on the other hand ....they should be way more popular than Mumford & Sons or The Cure :P

Or they could just end up playing Ziggo Dome again...

Sure, that seeems quite understandable.

But do you guys actually know why Pearl Jam keep sticking to their usual european summer schedule like nearly every two years? I mean, they could do an arena tour in fall instead? :P

They are all family men, take their family with them on tour. (That is why they cancelled 2016) They need to have some things that are the same on Every tour, to feel a certain comfort. And they appreciate the things they know that will be 100% allright. 
They love to spend multiple days in Amsterdam, Ziggo has the best sound possible for them to rehearsel. The family enjoys Amsterdam.
Werchter is so well organised, that it feels like home for them. They arrive early, with their family, a couple of times they did a bbq backstage, they invite friends... sort of reunion.

that all seems reasonable, but also very dull and boring. i love PJ but their EU tour are always the same, same venues, same festivals, very strange for a band of that image never to take any chances, play cool venues, different places. its always Werchter, 3-4 LN festivals, Ziggo, 02 in London, 1 or 2 Italian dates, pretty much always same cities etc. Just smells so boring and corporate and predictable. On the other hand Foo Fighters, even Guns n Roses, try new things, go to new places, different venues, new countries on every run. With PJ you can almost predict the exact schedule every time they come over.

So i talked with a few people today that work in the industry, and apparently PJ are touring between late June til mid July, something like 20.06 until 10 or 15. July...not sure if the info is correct, but thats what i have been told, and they will for sure play 1 or 2 shows in Italy...

Thanks for the info!

Would you mind asking the same people about Tool, The Black Keys and Nine Inch Nails? ?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
