Pukkelpop 2011

[benrothwell]

The Offspring co-headling with dEUs (with Duck Sauce to close). Has there ever been a weaker set of headline acts?!

Offspring were about 4 from the top in 2009 and were arguably more relevant then.

I'm friends with redlady on the Pukkelpop forum (she is the person who has said there are two more big names to come) and she emailed me last night to say who the two bands are. I'm not totally convinced either of them will play but I think a LOT of people will change their mind about the festival if they are confirmed.....

[TheNewUnion]

Given their appearances at Frequency and Highfield, I would say Dropkick Murphys are nailed on, hope so anyway.

[pryce]

if its not FM or DKM then at a guess its the Strokes and System of a down (i hope its neither) as i find strokes incredibly boring and im seeing system in two weeks.

if not i cant see Muse just playing here at Reading/Leeds so could do a mainland european fest.

all the others i cant see happening

[BruceBuffer]

Semprini, any chance of revealing who the two bands you were told are playing? Even if they don't at least it's interestinng to speculate!

[pryce]

or can you rule strokes out atleast ..... i dont want it to be an anti climax

[BruceBuffer]

I'd be happy with the strokes but i know they are not everyones favourite band for a festival. Obviously hoping for someone along the lines of Daft Punk/Chemical Brothers.

[TheNewUnion]

As I said earlier, I'm now convinced that Dropkick Murphy's will play. Which would be cool. Other than that I think Strokes or Arcade Fire are most likely.

Daft Punk would be ace, but I'm not holding my breath. Beasties would be the best of the bunch, and I can't see Muse (though did see them mentioned elsewhere)

[pryce]

hmmm if your not sure they ofthe bands given to you and would be suprised if true

it wont be flogging molly or DKM as they are hardly suprising acts

guess at arcade fire and i will throw daft punk in there as at the start of the year people seemed to think they were nailed on at rock en seine

[londonlax]

Weekend tickets have sold out now. Only some day tickets for Fri or Sat left.

Looks like Arcade Fire will be added with the next list of names as well.

[benrothwell]

So, it did actually sell out! Amazing!

[benrothwell]

Suspect that they cut down on the camping spots due to the crowding last year...

jesus, havent bought my ticket yet what are my chances of getting a weekend ticket?

[benrothwell]

You'll get one on eBay but youll pay well over the odds, Id imagine!

[august1]

is there anything to do in the area abar the festival then?

[TheNewUnion]

I'm willing to wager that they'll "release" more tickets. It sounds like they're trying to build demand through perceived scarcity. Either that or we have all totally missed ow popular some of the smaller acts are in Belgium. If Arcade Fire do get announced, I think the Combi will be money well spent!

Ahh, I've heard of Trentmoeller but didn't know that they were a big name over there. Could explain it.

[pryce]
