Nekfeu is at Dour yes! 

 

Aye thought I'd seen him announced for somewhere. 

That Cabaret Vert is on the same weekend as PKP this year and La Route Du Rock, which is usually on the same weekend is on the 12-15.

Frequency, Cabaret Vert, Lowlands, Green Man, Pstero and ArcTanGent are the main festivals I can think of happening on Pukkelpop weekend. 

Way Out West are dropping some names tomorrow.

I'd love Madness but they never seem to go for the nostalgia acts like that. Think Nekfeu is ruled out. Girl Band, Badbadnotgood, Shame and Liam Gallagher I can see being there. 

Pennywise is also a nostalgia act to me and they performed this year.

Khalid and FKA Twigs for Way Out West.

FKA Twigs is rumoured for Werchter. 

 

I saw a line-up with The Amazons and Sports Team, mid-august in England.

True, but so was Tame Impala last year. We'll see how it goes but with all the buzz I can definitely see her taking a high Marquee spot.

Cabaret Vert in France (20 - 23/08) announces first names : 

Martin Garrix - Liam Gallagher - Nekfeu - Pixies - Lomepal - Madness - Niska - Koffee - Badbadnotgood - Shame - Red Fang - Girl Band - Jpegmafia - Oxmo Puccino - Dionysos

Here is hoping for Girl Band and Shame.

[DDave]

Rules out a lot of names for Lowlands, more so the American names I would think.

Denzel Curry and 5 others were announced for Frequency. Think Curry is a definite for Pukkelpop.

Yeah, played RW in 2019 so PkP in 2020 seems logical. 

[DDave]

Shame absolutely due a return. 

[Death By Sexy]

Can see Viagra Boys visiting Pukkelpop too.

is there any chance of a slipknot headliner spot? they played pukkelpop 20 years ago in 2000 but times have changed

Is Khalid big enough in Belgium to get a headline or sub slot at a festival like Pukkelpop?

Mura Masa sub headlined this year so it's definitely not out of the question.

Don't think so. Feels like sub material. 

[Death By Sexy]

He could get the spot Dua Lipa and Anne Marie recieved the past editions.

Some great names on this page! The future looks bright!

[DDave]

Robyn is headlining Way out West so another good pop option. I love her so I'd be very happy to have her as a main stage sub.

Can you see Placebo as Marquee headliner?

Yeah I can. Think this year the 'rock' category is the hardest to predict, still early days and things should come a bit clearer in the coming weeks but I've absolutely no idea whose going to there from that genre.

Maybe Slipknot + Bring Me The Horizon closing one night the Main Stage?

I can see them booking Bad Religion for their 40th aniversary tour (last time they played were in 2010 in their 30th aniversary closing the Shelter). Maybe they will take an early Main Stage slot as Pennywise, Floggin Molly or NOFX did in the past years.

Yeah Bad religion is a good suggestion as is BMTH. Not sure about Slipknot though, although they are in the vicinity. Just can't see it myself.

It is still difficult to guess the line-up. I am still waiting for R&L and Lowlands for their first announcement. Lowlands should be the first days of February.
