Question for the old timers out there.

Went last year but came home the next day, organising travel and looking to leave after xx(woo hoo). We leave after the last band at werchter to leuven for the first train to brussels, Do the shuttle buses run late into the night at pukkelpop or start sunday morning?

The last shuttle bus into Hasselt usually leaves around 15 mins after the last band finishes each day (2am Thu & Fri, 1am Sat).

After the Saturday bands finish, Belgian railways also usually runs special trains to various parts of Belgium (including Brussels obviously) that leave direct from Kiewit station, 10 mins walk from the festival site. I think they go around 1.45am.

Glad to see Kendrick on the bill, I'll definitely be checking him out.

If you look at past line ups there's always a little bit of overlap between RW and PP, although it tends to be smaller bands. Having said that, a few years ago Placebo headlined PP and were about 4th down the Main Stage bill at RW. The fact that the two festivals are 6 weeks apart means that they're not in direct competition like Reading and V, who don't tend to share any bands at all. The PP organisers actually said that the RW people were very supportive in the aftermath of the storm and, contrary to what some people believe, the two festivals have a pretty good working relationship.

Just working through some of the bands now, I like loads of them but I'm looking for something for the Mrs. She's not thrilled with the metal bands and the techno so was wondering if anyone can suggest something from the bands that have already come out. She likes a bit of soul, funk and the like and your big Killers/Snow Patrol like sing-along's

I know Eli Paperboy Reed, Fitz and the Tantrums have played in the past, so stuff like that so I can get her a list of bands to check out (she likes Alabama Shakes so there's one for the list!)

Cheers all

They say that they have to wait until 22th april because of one name that can't be announced before... any suggestion??... I would love Kraftwerk for closing the festival!!!

Hey there, just joined up to this, I more or less check up the efests forums pages all the time so I thought I would join seeing I am doing Pukkelpop again this year (also ill fated 2011).

Can't wait to return I think the line up is shaping damn well up...

Kraftwerk would be brilliant to close the festival indeed, also hoping for Flying Lotus after he backed out last year. But I do know he is playing Dour so unlikely?

Attending my first pukkelpop this year and can't wait,road tripping it from north west England and doing a little European tour on the way.

Looking forward to hearing the prodigys new material again,heard it first at the end of last year at warriors dance festival in Serbia.

I've been through all the archive material and it has answered all my questions about pukkelpop apart from one.How far is campsite a from the car parks ??

Thanks to Semprini for all the info he has supplied about pukkelpop over the years,it has been invaluable.

I wish they would hurry up and announce more acts,it said after the first announcement the next one would be sooner than you think,well we are waiting pukkelpop !!!!!!!!!!!

Are we expecting one last headliner?

On the pukkelpop poster it has Eminem and NIN, Neil Young and Prodigy in big lettering and only XX in big letters for the saturday.

If so whos your bets on, im going for a curveball and RHCP announcing european dates after coachella.
