I can understand them not wanting to go in this direction but I find it a missed shot, especially given the return of hype which surrounds them at the moment. Same feeling here. At the end there are several "expensive" rock bands that always are booked by Pukkelpop and play every 4/5 years (QOTSA, Limp Bizkit, The Offspring, You Me At Six, Dropkick Murphys...) and then they miss oportunities as booking Korn, that is a nice nostalgia act not seen in Pukkelpop in the last 22 years. The rock booking strategy made by Mr. Jansenn is hard to understand. So at the end, Queens Of The Stone Age (2010, 2014, 2024) and The Offspring (2009, 2015, 2024) for the top rock acts??

I think/hope The Offspring will play the punk day at Lokerse. They've played PkP too often. QOTSA is more than welcome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algo Millencollin are negociating with Lokerse and another belgian festival, let’s see which one books them. Destroy Boys are another clear option for punkdag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semprini Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 If you also add in who Dour have previously announced then it's already looking like a great line up. Guessing they probably offered Justice another closing set in the Marquee but Dour were able to give them the headline spot on their biggest outdoor stage (20,000). Been thinking about the set up of PKP and whether they potentially miss out on certain bands because of the stages they have? Some of the bigger ones will only want to play on the Main and there's obviously only a limited number of slots at the top end each night. Reading and Leeds now have twin Main stages, and there are other examples of this across Europe, so can offer additional headline sets to bands. Is this something PKP now needs to consider? I know there's lots of variables to take into account like budget, layout of the terrain and how recently a band last played the festival (which may have been a consideration for Justice as they were at PKP in 2018 and haven't toured since) but I believe there's bands they're 'losing' out on to other festivals because they can't accommodate their wishes. Think LCD Soundsystem will be an example of this and you could probably throw Korn in the mix as well. I get that PKP can't have everyone but there's bands that you would expect/hope to see there that won't be, possibly for this reason? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there will be IDLES!!! 😉 They're usually one of the last big festival to announce... Last year they announced the first name, Billie Eilish, on February 1st; Angele and Anne Marie on February 2nd; The Killers and Florence + The Machine on February 3rd; then a bunch of names once a week starting from February 8th to mid March; then some random announcements followed during spring. I wouldn't say this as a rule, as they change their strategy a bit every year, but I expect some names in February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi21 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 Some new names added including Raye, Arca, Sampha. Really strong lineup for my tastes... If only it wasn't in Oslo. Hoping for PKP to share as many good names as they can 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 (edited) Block fest first names. 21 Savage and Skepta are at other Belgian festivals so ruled out. Just Lowlands, Green Man, Summer Sonic, Electric Picnic and of course Pukkelpop to go for 1st names now I think.

Queens of the stone age now heavily rumoured for Electric picnic. Could be them. I anticipated they would play lowlands and pukkelpop with no show in Ireland as it's all over the same weekend this year. EP is normally first weekend September. We are also rumoured to be getting Lana. Edited January 25 by Rico_Pliskin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the exact comment was a reaction to this proposal below saying "there is an unexpected dropout" Main stage: Dag 1: Fontaines DC - The Offspring - QOTSA - CDW Dag 2: Louis Tomlinson - Sam Smith - F&TM Dag 3: IDLES - Stormzy - Fred Again.. Headliners marquee: The Smile, Soulwax Headliners dance hall: Peggy Gou So I guess this could also be other names and not just headliners, but probably was talking about heads though. Fred Again dropping it to go play at Dour would make me very happy, but not expecting that! Edited January 25 by polnico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnybegood Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 (edited) Placebo is playing saturday August 17th in Germany, 2 hours by car from Hasselt and they have the Sunday available. If Pukkelpop is still booking 90's bands as Limp Bizkit, Offspring or QOTSA, do you think that Placebo is a possibility?
