If there was any doubt, I suppose that QOTSA is 99.9% sure to be there now. 

Bring us Jamie XX and Vampire Weekend... Oh and Will Smith might be fun, depending on where he's on the poster.

 

Don't be so sure about QOTSA. Some people with good info in Belgium are telling that PKP had their headliners fixed when QOTSA decided to tour in July/August 2025 so they have been offered to Lokerse Feesten (something similar what happened last year with Korn).

Jimmywe has said the same a few weeks ago. Wouldn't be a great look for the organisers if this was the case. Suppose there's a chance the 🤔 emoji they put on instagram could have been alluding to have not being booked again.

London Grammar subbing Chappell Roan at Rock En Seine extra day Aug-20... Both very likely I think 

[DDave]

Deus, Air and Sylvie Kreusch announced for Lokerse

The Smashing Pumpkins have been announced for a festival in Norway same PKP weekend. I can't see them being booked. Maybe they will be in Lokerse. 

 

However, they would be an amazing booking. I prefer them over Offspring, Limp Bizkit and other 90's rock bands booked in the last years...

Someone claims on festileaks forum that Lowlands headliners this year will be: band that canceled last year (QOTSA?) + a big hip hop artist + an artist who has grown enormously in the past year (Charli?).

Obviously don't know how reliable that is but I guess it's worth to share.

[johnybegood]

Translation is not very clear but I think that Festileaks insider claims that Nelly Furtado will play a smaller belgian festival (Lokerse or Suikerrok)

Smashing Pumpkins ruled out (Lokerse)

End of Jan/Early Feb. Has been later than that but no reason to think that this year.

Well, QOTSA announced a bunch of European concerts in July and August 2025 and so far, no Belgian date or date on Pukkelpop's weekend.

QOTSA, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan

Yep, can't see the main headliners being anyone but them. More interested in the subs and maybe closers. Hopefully Vampire Weekend will be a sub, and hopefully Justice will be a dance closer. I've said on the festileaks forum that I think Charli and QOTSA will close the main on their days and there will be a dance act after CR. That is unless QOTSA play the Friday and we could see someone play after them given the later set times that day. Perfect combo if that were to happen for me would be Idles/QOTSA/Justice

I agree. That trio also headlines in other August fests already (Oya and Way Out West).

Hello mate. 

 

Any other hints? 

 

[Heisenberg pkp]

Yes, I heard a name mentioned. For me, one of the worst names there is for a headliner."

I think your are talking about Within Temptation taking a hight slot.

 

Another horrible choice would be Joost.

 

On the other hand, I think Oscar And The Wolf will play Werchter.
