I reckon it won't be out till after the 30th.

I'd say right before, next Monday or so. Giving the local sales one last push before opening up the remaining tickets to the rest of Europe.

Before the end of the month.

Limp Bizkit ruled out. Don't cry too much 🙂

Paredes De Coura 2021 cancelled.

Things are not looking good 😔

[Dietediet]

Someone on Festileaks also just said that several UK acts are suddenly looking unsure due to issues obtaining the post-Brexit touring visa for artists... 

[Ken19]

Yes, everyday bands are cancelling their show at Pukkelpop. And not only the small ones.

Are QOTSA an option?

They were on it but from what I’ve heard, they are out. It is quite impossible for them to tour with all restrictions. But I can be wrong.
For a lot of the bands it is too expensive to only do a couple shows this summer.

Could this 2021 failed attempt lead to finacial problems for next years to Pukkelpop?

Or is it a tricky tactic to sell tickets for 2022...now they sold some tickets to postpone the festival to 2022?! I don't doubt...

No, it is not intentional, when they announced to start selling tickets the line up was looking good. But when they wanted to announce the first batch of names some artists already didn’t gave their permission. Not a good sign.

Crazy how the country that's got the highest level of infections currently will probably be the one with the most festivals this year (UK)

this will probably be our back up should Pukkelpop not go ahead or we don't get tickets. Gonna be a bit cold though, late September in Glasgow!

The original lineup for this was the best f the summer, its a bit shocking now apart from Friday.

If the Chems had been rebooked I'd have considered it.

I'd love to come back to UK, I would gladly go to Wide Awake in London in early September and Manchester Psych Fest the day after but now rules would still impose 10 days quarantine for me before moving freely, and probably some other restriction coming back to Italy 😔
I don't have much hopes on this summer, I think I'll only attend to some small events here in Italy

If international bands are cancelling, PKP can go for a 80% Belgian edition? I hope this is the plan?

Can imagine the usual suspects will be there - Oscar & The Wolf, Bazart, Charlotte De Witte, Amelie Lens, 2manyDJ's/Soulwax, Blackwave, Charlotte Adigery etc. Can you get enough of them for a 66k festival though?

There will be plenty of other European acts available (guarantee there'll be a Kalkbrenner or maybe both of them this year). From what's been said it's the UK and US acts who will be in their lesser numbers this year.

I start to wondering if there will be concert from UK and EU band in 2021. All band postpone their tour to 2022. But do you think the situation will be better during winter and spring 2022 (about travel restrictions).

I think there will be gig but only from artist who live in the country where they come from (only Belgium band in Belgium, same in Netherlands, France,...)
