Three dotted lines give me hope.....

 

But it'd be strange if they'd announce the whole world tour with a poster, except for a bounce of dates to add.

I'm honestly not expecting them but, who knows

If it is, it's no fault of mine 🍻

I have a theory that Rock En Seine have booked RATM on pretty much a standalone gig on the Tuesday providing that there are no other festivals announced in the vicinity (Netherlands, Belgium etc) until it has sold out or they give it the say so. Despite the size, The RES date will probably be the biggest paying they have due to the lack of other bands, and they'll be the only festival date doing the golden circle etc so RES may have a bit of leeway in saying what goes.

There's also another UK date planned confirmed by Geoff Barrow on twitter (c/o the Glasto board, rumoured to be Glasgow). Being booked by R&L prevents this date from being booked also.

My prediction is the 3 lines on the poster will be filled with Pukkelpop and Lowlands on the Sat/Sun and then Glasgow on the Tuesday or Wednesday then onto the dates given last night.

Believe.

I rather they not book them if it the cost of them that has led to the rest of the gash lineup but I'm guessing that just the gash booking of R&L. Really wish they would stop booking bands and forcing me to buy day tickets. Distillers last year. RATM this year.

Slipknot announced for Cabaret Vert, a French festival with a similar line-up to PKP but arguably smaller.

I am a Slipknot fanboy since 15 so make me dream, Chokri.

Interesting.

Could be nothing but a poster on festileaks who knew one of the security guys for the Shelter stage said that they would be looking for a lot more security staff this year. Slipknot could be the reason.

They play Cabaret Vert on the Thursday and the UK on the Saturday so likely for the Friday if it happens.

Slipknot & Rage? could be in for a rowdy one!

Cabaret Vert is really close to Belgium, so playing on Pukkelpop on Friday couldn't be a problem.

Booking Ratm and Slipknot would be to expensive, I think it won't happen.

Booking Oscar and the Wolf and Charlotte De Witte for the other days headliners would make it viable!

Or by putting Oscar as sub before Slipknot.

Taken out last years artists and those ruled out.

Decent line-up, without anything groundbreaking. Sasha is an interesting booking though.

First summer festival for Dua Lipa, nailed on now in my eyes for one of the top spots.

Quite a few names there I'd like and expect us to have. Would love to see Sasha at PKP but really don't see where he'd fit? Wouldn't be a big enough draw now for the Boiler (unless it was with Digweed) and he's too big/expensive for the Booth. A few years back he could easily have closed the Castello but they've moved away from DJs like him in there. Like Carl Cox, I'm beginning to fear that's another name I'll sadly never tick off my, 'seen at PKP' list.

Calvin Harris has got to be a major contender now for a Main finish one night. Most obvious (but maybe too obvious?) option would be with Dua Lipa, alongside someone like Bon Iver/Vampire Weekend/Foals. I'd definitely take 3 nights like that over someone 'big' like Eminem but can see the appeal of a marquee booking of his calibre. Not a huge fan of Slipknot but would be great for the festival if they get them as they're popular enough to draw loads of people in while still being credible and different to what we usually have.

I've just realized that Limp Bizkit are playing in Madrid 26th August...

If I'd have seen that online I'd have kept on scrolling, scrolling, scrolling

Incidentally, Fred Durst is 50 on the night of the pre-party.

Oh Sees ruled out 😞

Deftones & Gojira also ruled out https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/02/deftones-announce-summer-tour/

First names for La Route Du Rock (19-22 August) 10am UK time tomorrow. Might throw up a couple of new names. Shared Tame, Hot Chip, IDLES and a few others last year.

Can't be too far behind for us now, think PKP is the last August fest to announce anything.

It's not taking that long anymore. But the sales of Rock Werchter isn't the best this year, so they had to wait a little bit.

So there must be at least one “important” band shared by both festivals.

Looking Pixies August european tour, it’s almost obvious that there is a concert to be announced on August 22nd between a French date (August 20th) and their Amsterdam gigs (August 24th and 25th)...

It's not about sharing acts. It's about a lot of Belgians saying they will do either RW or Pukkelpop, as doing both is quite pricey. So they want to avoid people taking a "wait and see" attitude.

And how does Pukkelpop avoid that “wait and see attitude” delaying their announcement?
