Pukkelpop 2012

[DDave]

That first batch of names is already better than the whole of last years line up in my opinion.

We'll be going again all being well. Lucky I reserved a hotel last October for it.

I'd expect at least some of the following to be announced

Justice

Kaiser Chiefs

DEUS (naturally)

Florence and the Machine.

And would hope for a bit more house/electro on the bill and maybe a curve ball co-headliner such as Van Halen or of course Daft Punk.

I heard that in a couple of weeks will be new names and a pre-sale for people with a 2011 edition combiticket. Then will start the general ticket-sale

I was expecting something more from Pukkelpop 2012... Do you think that this year will be sold-out? I don't think so...

[Sarge009]

How do people normally get to the festival from the UK? There's a few of us coming from Leeds for the first time and wondering the best way to get there. I understand Eurostar to Brussels is the best option, then train from Brussels is included in ticket price? Someone walk me through it, cheers.

[DDave]

We're flying from Manc to Charleroi then bus to Brussels and train to Hasselt.

Public transport is free whilst the festival is on,

Would the eurostar not work out cheaper?

Yes. Only those that bought tickets last year got sent the presale link. They go on sale to everyone else early next Monday (14th).

Got my tickets yesterday (but we did go last year...).

[Trufflehound]

Makes perfect sense.

Do they sell out quick as im going to buy on monday when they come on sale for the general sale? Also is it etickets like rock werchter?

When will they announce punk acts for Shelter Stage? I think that Me first And The Gimme Gimmes and Social Distortion will perform at Main Stage (people are talking about that in FB)... so where are punk bands?? Only some minor British bands in the line-up... i remember last year Rival Schools, No Use For A Name, Bouncing Souls, OFF!, Black Pacific....

[thetime]

It's e-tickets.

Tickets seems to sell faster every year. It only sold out for the first time in 2010, then sold out quicker last year, despite people moaning about the line-up. Difficult to know for sure what impact (if any) last year's tragic events will have on sales - will people stay away, or will they want to go more out of respect?

Either way, I'd say it's not going to sell out in the first few days. Probably take a few weeks, maybe longer (but don't quote me on that if I turn out to be completely wrong...!).

[johnybegood]

To be fair, there is a few already.

I would have thought Good Riddance, Everytime I Die, letlive.,Trash Talk and Touche Amore would be there or thereabouts, not punk but Skindred and Deaf Havana are also possibilities.

[thetime]

Are there bars outside the arena like werchter? Or is it bring your own.
