Got our 5 tickets no problem! Seems like a few people are having issues though judging by the FB comments. Reckon traffic must be pretty high so be interesting to see how quickly we get the first 'X% of tickets sold out' message.

Holy sh*t. New insane record. I was impressed to see Linkin Park day in a few hours at RW but this is even more impressive and unexpected to me. 

 

EDIT: That's it. Soldout in 4h. Well done PKP!

The line up incredibly diverse so not surprised they sell out all combi tickets. Other festivals should learn from Pkp.

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen PKP sell out in all the time I’ve been doing fests! 
 

Assuming there’s an official re-sale system and such like for closer to the time?

Yes, there's an official exchange service that opens a few weeks before the festival starts and it's the only way to buy a second hand ticket, because they check ID cards at the entrance and there must be your name on your ticket.

In 2024 the fee for the name change was 16€.

Maybe I'll be considering trying this too but it's too soon now to think about it.

Anyways, nice announcement by Green Man today, hopefully a lot of overlaps with PKP.

Pulp heading the Friday at La Route Du Rock. Still a tiny chance but you'd have thought they'd have been announced by now 😞

If QOTSA, Justice and Papa Roach are all on the Main Stage, I still see room for a Kiwanuka-Vampire Weekend-Khruangbin-sized Marquee act on Sunday. Don't know if Pulp can take that slot but I don't think we're late for the Sunday Marquee headliner announcement.

Not bad at all. Happy with The Chats, Mall Grab and Yard Act. Didn't expect Mogwai so that's a nice surprise. Hopefully up against Chase and Status in the Club.

this year will be my first time visiting pkp 🥳 now i am wondering how easy it is to communte between the stages, especially between main and marquee. Also, how big is the marquee capacity and will the marquee be closed once it is "full" (like they to at the barn at Rock Werchter)?

Commute between stages is easy.

 

Main and Marquee are next to each other, when it is busy you need 5 minutes to go from a decent spot of one stage to a decent spot of the other stage. 

 

Marquee has a capacity between 10.000 and 15.000. It will not be closed when full.

Impressive lineup already after today's announcement. Very sad for not getting a ticket. Who knows, maybe I'll catch one this summer 😬

I'd say the easiest festival to commute between stages and see the greatest number of shows. Stages are divided in 2 areas: Main, Marquee, Backyard, Lift and Club are all very close to each other, you can commute between them in 5 minutes. Just a few minutes more to reach Dance Hall, Boiler and Booth.

Main and Club are simultaneous and alternate with Marquee, Backyard, Lift and Dance Hall; Boiler and Booth have non-stop electronic music. In every moment you can choose between 3-4 sets but for most of them you have no hurries to catch a good spot... Maybe only for Chappell and Oscar, maybe Jamie XX in the Marquee (like Soulwax last year), but you can walk in front of almost every stage to see and listen well even when the concert is already started.

Every tent remains open on the sides and on the back and there's no limited access stage.

2024 Timetable is still online to have an idea https://2024.pukkelpop.be/en/line-up/friday

I’m so happy to have purchased my tickets. Friday and Sunday are stacked for me. On Saturday Idles & The Chats are amazing bookings. 
 

Pukkelpop has the best line up of the August festival circuit for my personal tastes.

[branvan]

If someone here has a combi ticket too much, I‘d be glad to take it 😎

Asked the same thing here and on Festileaks but I'm scared it won't be technically possible until the official resale system doesn't open in late July or early August (I don't remember exactly)

[Heisenberg pkp]

New names this week.

If someone has a FRIDAY TICKET or COMBI TICKET too much, I'd buy it and we can make to change of the name as soon as this is possible/August25... 

[DDave]

Some nice lift, club and booth names hopefully today.

I seriously need a ticket now

[DDave]

Not the names I was looking for but to be expected at this stage and I'm sure there's some decent stuff in there. 

 

Apart from Idles, I think the Saturday Main Stage lineup may be the worst they've ever had.

Karate in an amazing booking. I never expected to see Mogwai + Karate booked for Pukkelpop in 2025.

 

This year line-up is insane.

I agree with you, but you know how much I'm interested in Main Stage...

I didn't expect to get Mogwai, Karate, The Murder Capital, Yard Act, Kneecap, Deadletter, Ditz, Yussef Dayes, Maruja, Ry X, Been Stellar (among others) all together in these two waves of announcements and now I'm seriously impressed by this undercard.

[Semprini]

Few decent names there for my tastes (Kneecap, Effy, DJ Gigola, Narciss) and loads of interesting stuff to check out so all in all it's looking great so far! Expected to see Myd announced but still time. Don't think anyone can complain about the amount of guitars on offer this year as there's loads of bands across a whole range of genres.

Looks like we're getting 4 international DJ's each day in the Boiler, which is similar to last year. It's a far cry from the past though where it would open at midday with a local DJ and we'd then get 7 or 8 decent names, some of them big hitters, right through to the Belgian closer who'd play until 4am.
