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

Good news! Wondering if we gonna have some surprises or only bands already announced somewhere else next Summer.

Davina Michelle self confirmed, and by Pinkpop’s Twitter.

I'm not sure - I expect at least a couple of headliners will be bookings which are present elsewhere (Ed Sheeran, Måneskin, Dua Lipa etc)! But I'm hoping for a curveball or two - Pearl Jam (it's a big ask) haha!

Wondering if we gonna have all headliners and some names. Or just 1 (or 2) headliners. With the tumors, your trio seems the more realistic. Even if Ed Sheeran tour/communication is a bit weird so far for next Summer.

Given the usual approach of Pinkpop in recent years - it seems by December, we would see the 3 headliners amongst the 25 names.

I also noted the The Killers could be in the mix! If look at their dates. Probably be the 23rd.

Ed Sheeran is the first headliner

Calvin Harris headliner, didn't see it coming... Ed Sheeran/Sam Smith is a strong duo. Some interesting names but not enough on 1 day for me so far. If Limp Bizkit and Lauren Spencer Smith were on Friday, I'd buy a ticket for sure. Too bad.

Limp bizkit look so put of place on their day,

But then I guess so do Janes addiction

All the pieces are about in Europe next year for one festival to just announce the good bands on each line up and absolutely harvest the market. Shame not a single one has managed to get it together yet. 

[DDave]

That is awful

[beau1]

One of the worst lineups I've seen for a while!

[Rusty Spoon]

A good few bands I'd want to see but they're all spread over the weekend with not much else I'd care for. If they lined up right I'd have considered a day ticket.

[willsmith700]

Yeah - very underwhelming line up (I'm trying to be diplomatic). Can see why they were so reluctant to put it out. Personally, other than Ed Sheeran, no real big hitter as a headliner.  

[Mondo-kun]

Without discussing the quality of lineup I'm very interested how many people spend €145 for that Friday.

Thinking Southside Festival might be my June trip!
It's a shame, because I really love this festival, but for the money needed to make it out there, the line up has to be enough. Pinkpop is arguably the weakest out of the lot for me 😕

Ed Sheeran is top. Maneskin and Calvin Harris as headliner 😂

[MK1]

More names anytime soon??

In an interview this week, the organisers said that Muse were booked to play this but in October pulled out of all planned 2024 touring commitments.

 

Wonder who the Plan B therefore ended up being.

I would say Calvin Harris...

Looking at the underbill, Nothing but Thieves and Royal Blood have both opened for Muse before so if they were looking at doing a matching 1/2, it could make sense for them to have been either on Maneskin day or Calvin day. But I'm guessing Maneskin's level makes Calvin the likeliest Plan B.

 

Wonder if it also means Muse are either in the mix to play Pinkpop 2025 as a make-up or if the festival is moody with them and won't book.

Depend if it was a one-shot or if the band was supposed to do real tour this Summer. I guess the second option. So wouldn't be surprised if Muse play at Pinkpop on their next run.

As far as I know, Muse weren't planning to have new music this year so could've just been a series of one-offs. Maybe they can be a name in the ring for 2025 as it's plausible a new album will be out then.
