As I bought an Early Bird ticket for BKS24 back in June, I got an email a couple of days ago offering me the chance to pre-book the fixed accommodation (pre-pitched tents, cabins, etc.). That offer ends at noon next Monday 27th, so I would assume the announcement and general sale will start very shortly (if not immediately) after that. Possibly an announcement Monday morning, then sales start at noon...

Could Pinkpop have the same headliner as Hellfest who do a full line up announcement on tuesday?

[SweetJesus]

If they share a headliner, it could be only Metallica.

Matt Cameron has confirmed the new Pearl Jam album is all done and ready to go!!!! Bring on some Europe dates (and Pinkpop...) 😍

I’ll just quote myself. Today Saudi Arabia, tomorrow Hellfest. So it looks like they will not play Pinkpop.

First headliner before the end of the week. Could also be the same headliner as Bilbao tomorrow?

Is this an assumption? Or has it come from a source?

A bit strange Foo Fighters will not play in Netherlands next year. Really few concerts (only 4) in Europe (apart in the UK).

Wonder if Pulp are turning up here? Thought they were nailed on for Best Kept Secret and then didn't turn up there, didn't appear on DTRH either.

Definitely - I expected The National for PP. Noticed Bikini Kill are now doing a run of European dates in June.

Arcade Fire as a headliner and Pulp in the sub??

I get the impression many festivals (not all) may still be reluctant to book Arcade Fire until the Win Butler stuff is resolved (or goes away long enough....).

And if the big headliner who everybody is waiting for was Bruno Mars. Maybe he asked Festivals who he'll perform to announce him first. Maybe it's the reason why there is nothing announce for Pinkpop, Mad Cool, Main Square, Werchter Boutique...

For the moment we don't know but at the beginning of this year he was working on a New album.

Seeing as a few festivals booked them last year and they're doing a few more events this year (all of the Lollapalooza SA festivals, for one), it feels like a few bookers have already decided to go through with their reputation management, whether its wanted or not.

First 25 names tomorrow, 11:00 (GMT+1).
