In 2018 gorillaz was very high on their wishlist, but higher on Herman’s.  Normally they are available the whole summer (as usual with Damon’s projects). Damon has a thing with Werchter but I think

You might be right, but if effing football players can fly across Europe for current EURO without quarantine, why can't international bands? It's their job, not for fun or vacation.

Why don't they just book European/Schengen-Area based bands. They are available and the crowd would be happy to see headliners like Rammstein, Volbeat, Behemoth and so on.

We booked 10 tickets first day and even if the line-up sucks this will still be a blast but I am quite sure people will be pissed if there are no big players at all.

Rock for People in the Czech Republic did this, but I can't see The Hives or Maneskin headlining Pukkelpop.

Well, Rock for People is only 5k capacity so The Hives and Maneskin are worthy headliners for that kind of event. They are not obviously big enough for headlining a festival with 60k+ capacity.

Maneskin are playing Lokerse Feesten so more than likely ruled out (sold out though so you never know) The Hives are around but are a good daytime main or evening Marquee band at best these days.

Given this year's situation, don't know if this can rule them out...

For an example Balthazar are playing both Lowlands and DTRH and I'm expecting them (and lots of others) playing both Werchter Parklife and Pukkelpop. Don't think Lokerse bought a Belgian Exclusive for Maneskin and I think they'll be one of the perfect well-sold-medium-sized-European-act touring this summer.

Anyway... June almost over and still silence from PKP. I'm starting to think we'll have a soldout festival that won't happen, but I hope I'll be wrong.

Sucks they don't announce the names before tickets sales for non-Belgian. Like names tomorrow instead of Thursday...

In their teasing, they say "Something Is Boiling". With this and the video, maybe they will only announce names for Boiler Room?

As Tomorrowland is canceled it should be way easier to get DJs than bands. So probably they are able to announce some big names in that field to satisfy at least some of their costumers and sell the remaining tickets.

Nah, I think that's just a confusing world play.

Can't imagine them sharing anything else than the full lineup by now. 

Indeed. My thought when I saw the video and this teasing was they could maybe announce the line-up stage by stage. As the festival is on a good way to be soldout, they could try something new. But seems more realistic they announce 100% of the line-up on Thursday indeed. Hopefully a good one so I can buy a ticket right after the announcement!

Maybe @Ken19 will have some infos for us before...

In 2019 they announced first the headliners, then the guitar bands, then the hip hip and urban music, and so on...

Maybe this year they will announce stage by stage, and maybe Boiler Room is the stage that it not suffering from cancellations, because DJ's have less problems to move from one country to another...

Balthazar... is a Belgian band? It's normal that they play play multiple festivals in the Benelux.

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
