Young pulled out just a couple of weeks before the festival due to a member of his band injuring their hand. Major Lazer were the eventual replacements but there was another artist who was willing to step in at short notice and play. They wanted a longer time slot though, as well as insisting on being the last act to play. The original schedule, which was how Pukkelpop often did it at the time, was for Neil Young to 'headline' but The Prodigy were the stage closers.
The organisers asked The Prodigy if they would be prepared to swap positions and play earlier but they said 'no' (think they also gave them the opportunity to come back the following year as headliners but that was turned down as well). The deal fell through and the act in question never played.
I know a few on here are aware but any guesses who it was?
one of out tents was in a slight dip opposite guardian lounge or whatever it was called in those days we had to more it a couple of feet . Friends went out to get wellies from the car and got trapped outside as I think they shut one of the gates as the water buildup against the fence was high
just absolutely bonkers ... Reform are screwed without Farage ... popcorn out though the infighting has been brewing for a bit . Backing of Yaxley Lennon isnt gonna win anything luckily as I dont think the UK is that extreme yet although Musk is working on it
