Great news if true. Marquee headliners hopefully, although most likely main stagers.

They've tried them on the main stage some years ago. Not really a succes.

You're right, I was there. Much more suited to the Marquee.

[DDave]

So, potential names so far 

Bon Iver, Two Door Cinema Club,  Bring Me The Horizon, Fever 333, The Hives, Foals, Opeth, Caribou, Bikini Kill.

Chainsmokers have a show in Brussels in October so can probably rule them out.

Pstereo festival announces some names tomorrow, we shared Whitney and the Beths with them this year.

Do you think the Killers are a contender ? Of course it is unknown if they're touring in August, but I have a feeling they could play Sziget, haven't been there in a while, and I feel like they could then tour the rest of Europe in august.

Could be a possibility. Won't be back at Rock Werchter so soon so if they're about there's every chance. I'd certainly be happy with them.

Something like

Halsey / Vampire Weekend / Dua Lipa 

Bon Iver / Nick Cave / Disclosure

The 1975 / The Killers / Major Lazer

would be fairly realistic I think.

Hollywood Vampires back in Europe in August/September. They are available - officially - on August 22/23. Maybe Pukkelpop?

That's great news, Black Country New Road are a definite now then. 

Think we may have our Marquee headliners in the Pixies and Parquet Courts would be a great club headliner.

Looking good for 2020.

I'd be amazed if they were booked tbh.

Alcatraz or Lokerse Feesten are a better option.

I imagine that Pixies will be booked by Werchter again this summer. They would be an amazing Marquee headliner, but PKP avoid spending lot of money in that kind of bands.

Pixies aren't the draw they once were, certainly no bigger than the National at the moment. I'd be surprised if they weren't booked for PKP given the dates. 

[Semprini]

First Dour names next week.

Iggy Pop, The Script, Passenger and Kensington ruled out for Lowlands so a slightly less chance of them being around on PKP weekend

Dave announced for Oya, can definitely see him in the Dance Hall

They're also playing Rock Werchter's former sister festival, so could still go either way.

I’m pretty sure Pixies will play Wertcher. Pukkelpop do not book this kind of bands if Werchter has the chance to book them.

Pity if that's the way it goes.

Tash Sultana September European tour announced, no Belgian/Dutch dates

More possibles. I'll be amazed if Sigrids not there.

Pukkelpop's facebook page was updated with a line that said "5 more days ... ? # PKP20" which was then deleted

Earliest ever announcement incoming?

 

p.s. it's not the Killers, they're ruled out - playing TW Classic alongside Macca

It's about the after movie from this year. We'll have to wait more for the first names.
