PJ will go to Amsterdam (That's why I said 'They were' - booked for PP) 
They are still trying to book a last band. 
It's not completly sure they will come.
No joking, this is not a 'marketingtrick' or something, they are still trying.

If they can fix it;
It's a band.
Classic band.
Think guitars.

That's all I can say at this moment.

Well supposedly GnR is dropping their tour today. Doesn't really make a lot of sense to do a smaller announcement and then announce GnR in the afternoon? The previous announcement will get pretty underwhelmed and the headliners usually want the spotlights just for themselves.

New acts just added.
Sidenote; 21 Pilots is not a headliner. 
For the doubting people; The other band is still in the picture for the headline spot (but still not confirmed from the insiders).

Are they sharing a headliner with Graspop?

I wonder what will happen if also this last band will not headline Pinkpop???

Pinkpop already booked a band (that could be headliner) a while ago. 
Afterwards they started fishing for the headliner. 
If not successful, the other band will be 'promoted' to the headline-spot. 

I'm not sure about Graspop, I know too little about that.

What is it with Benelux exclusive these days........?

Well, given that the whole region is like a 4 hours drive from side to side, I'd say that it is reasonable for a artist of that calibre to pick only one date, even more if you can sell it as an "exclusive" (wow awesome exclusive eskere potato patato)

Indeed. But it's not always easy for people from Belgium to go in Netherlands for a show/festival per example. I see sometimes bands with an exclusive in Benelux but they could sell out shows in both countries on the same tour. 

But sometimes bands just don't book a show in Netherlands/Luxembourg so it makes an exclu in Benelux without asking and promoter can mention it.

To be honest, i think it will be GnR.

Things have changed also at Graspop. Some day switches you spoke of Ken and if i am reading it right Aerosmith is not the headliner. So what i think is that GnR is playing some festivals. But they have to give a final go to announce it. So by the end of next week another headliner for PP and Graspop?

Could also be totaly wrong ??

It's also a question of Dutch promoters not wanting to take their chances on certain bigger artists. Taylor Swift could have easily been booked for Pinkpop, but Mojo clearly wasn't comfortable with their risk analysis. Same thing for an act like Blur years ago, since they ended up never playing in the NL upon their reunion.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
