Pukkelpop 2011

[Boothy380]

What are the chances of Eminem with him playing V the same Weekend?

[Semprini]

with Rock En seine getting announced tomorrow im guessing that most of the bands will play Pukklepop like last year

ignore this .... took to long to post

i can see Foos, Interpol and Deftones defiently at PP

i really dont want My chem .... but i can see them Sub headling to say someone bigger, and going on a few rumours RHCP?

but again when i saw them at Leeds 07 they were probably the worst headline band i have ever seen live, shockingly poor

Arctic monkeys seem to busy to me so doubt it

[Semprini]

I just found this article and it seems a pretty good reflection of where things are at right now. It's in Dutch but just use google or some other translation website. I'd really love Moby to be there, closing the Main Stage after someone like Arcade Fire or the Strokes would work well. There's one possible headliner a few people have mentioned that isn't in the article though. Apparently the organisers have been after Muse for a few years now and they are strongly rumoured for Reading/Leeds so that's another possibility.

Arcade Fire, Foo Fighters and Muse has quite a nice (if unlikely!) ring about it

ive seen muse 7 times .... but after the latest album i really cant stand them anymore,

but i can actually see it they will defiently do more than one festival.

someone on the main PP website said Interpol as a headliner??? surely not big enough?

and looking at last years lineup one of the days had Iron maiden, placebo and Blink 182

so we are looking at say 5 band big enough to headline other festivals for the top spots

Moby (closing)

Arcade Fire

Underworld (closing)

Muse

Foo Fighters

Pulp

Interpol

Deftones

No confirmations till next week? I think that 22th march will be the day.

Note: deftones played 2 years ago and they dindt headline (that day Faith no more and Offspring headlined)

i dont think they would headliner

but running order for one of the days at a guess would be

Foos

pulp/my chem

Interpol

Deftones

just a guess because of rock en seine

[PM2010]

This may sounds very stupid, but is the festival sold out? Having a few problems with the website and thought it'd just be easier to ask on here!

Stupidly I'd never thought about going to a European festival before, the line ups all look immense.

[johnybegood]

Tickets will be avaliable from april/may... last year Pukkelpop sold out in june.

Last Year all headliners were announced in the end of March. Only Snow PAtrol was announced in the second group of bands the day before tickets were on sale.

Wrong, they sold out in July, a few weeks after Rock Werchter.

'The festival returned in 2010 for its 25th anniversary, with Iron Maiden, Placebo, Queens of the Stone Age and Snow Patrol among the headlining acts. The 2010 edition is notable as the first ever Pukkelpop to have sold out its entire allotment of tickets, approximately five weeks prior to the commencement of the festival.

As of Wednesday 16th march, it has been confirmed that Pukkelpop 2011 headliners shall be Foo Fighters, System of A Down and Kings Of Leon.

Quoted from wikipedia. Obviously, could be rubbish as it is wikipedia but also possible? What does everyone reckon? Nothing on the official website so I'm guessing it's just someone falsely getting my hopes up..

[pryce]

foos yes .... but doubt the other two. dont think System will announce anymore festival dates same with Kings of leon

but it is Wikipedia..... like you said its probably rubbish

anyway it better not be Kings of Leon and im already going to a festival with System of a Down

[Furious-Red]

Surely it wont be KOL since there doing Werchter , Yea and SOAD seem to have only dates in early summer

[Semprini]

Bouncing Souls have self-confirmed for Friday 19th August.

[pryce]

where did you find out that they self confirmed? i read it on openairguide and then put it up on last.fm (but was taken down)

but cant find any confirmation anywhere
