This festival has been running since 1985 in Belgium, and after various
location changes has settled on the site of Kempische Steenweg in Kiewit,
Hasselt. Included in the ticket price of 113 euros for a weekend ticket is
camping and free bus and train travel around Belgium. There are day tickets
available for 57-60 euros.
Bands confirmed for this year are Radiohead, Massive Attack, Beck, Placebo
as well as an extensive line-up with a broad range of acts. The official
website can be found at; www.pukkelpop.be
The campsite is open from 12 noon Wednesday 16 August, and needs to be
cleared by 11am Sunday 20 August. Campervans and motorhomes are not allowed
this year due to lack of space. A main road separates the arena and the
campsite, like Rock Am Ring, so take extra care when crossing, especially
after a good days slog at the bar!
