Broken into stages, whilst the possible headliners aren't that massive - RHCP, Metallica and Eminem aside (which we'd only likely get one of anway) there is an abundant of very very good mid-big size bands knocking around Europe during Pukkelpop time.  The dance side takes care of itself and is always of the highest quality but the signs are looking good for Monday....hopefully

Franz Ferdinand won't be coming, playing Rivierenhof 30/8.

Nice list Dave, but we've seen this every year now. Before the announcement big expectations and eventually we get disappointed. Still very much looking forward to tommorow, especially if we get even half of the names you mentioned.

I reckon we have the line-up when we wake up. Like the Rihanna announcement last year. Otherwise probably 11 AM.

[arcuse]

You forgot Bastille. Flume is a dance closer for sure and Noisia and Knife Party should be in Boiler. At The Drive-In is way to big for Shelter. I'm really looking forward to Monday tho, are they gonna blow us away with some awesome names or is it going to be like last year haha

I'm mindful of the fact I've heard of most of the names I've listed, I'm sure there'll be many announced that I won't have a clue about.

Worst case scenario for me is a mixture of repeat bookings - Bastille, Ellie Goulding, Major Lazer, Netsky, Editors all have a high chance of being there but I hope it's something a bit more original. I'm not expecting much from the headliners and subs to be perfectly honest. Wouldn't be surprised to see Parov Stelar, Sigma and Twenty One Pilots get high billings

Best case scenario for me - Aerosmith or the Strokes.

Last year was decent for me - 2015 was the worst Pukkelpop line up in living memory

[arcuse]

Yep, there are several bands touring around the time who were already PKP the last 3 years, makes it a bit less exciting.. But ya

In 2015 I was really happy with the dance acts they threw at us because I was mostly interested in that at the time. Gotta admit that was a really weak year headliner wise, only Linkin Park was a nice surprise but Alt-J & Bastille just weren't a headliner 2 years a go, they barely are now, most of the times sub or headlining small fests

Chokri's daughter just tweeted that it will be 6am. Thought they might have a big 'on the day' build up like in previous years but will be nice to wake up to.

Loads of people on twitter going mental about Ellie Goulding. Didn't think she was that popular but seems to be the no.1 request by a mile.

As for how predictable the line up will be, loads of bands now tour every summer as that's where the money is. That obviously means the same names will be around and repeat bookings over a 2/3 year cycle are common. Coupled with that, we also know many of the bands who are going to play other festivals in August so it's hard for any of them, PKP included, to be 'different'. That said, they always manage to book a few new names so I'm hopeful we'll get some surprises tomorrow.

Probably just coincidence, as they're not really that big now, but Leftfield are announcing something tomorrow. Would love to see them in the Dance Hall.

So are Shed Seven 

[arcuse]

I'm guessing Chokri's gonna come to Stubru or something or give a lil talk and that's why it's so early? I don't see any other reason why it's so early.. The fact she saying that its gonna be long day is maybe even a mark on my guess as she's maybe going with her dad idk

That's two of the headliners sorted then. 

[SoLoCo]

Line up is out. I'm impressed! Very good undercard!

THE most predictable line up of all time.

Still Friday and Saturday subs to go by the looks of it.

Headliners 1/10

Undercard 7/10

No Jake Bugg I notice.

Fucking Bastille and Editors again. Shite. Utter shite, how these fuckers will get bigger crowds than the Chems and Noel G I'll never understand.

I'm going back to sleep.

I'm pretty sure Elbow will sub Main Stage, too big for a tent. And several media confirm The XX and Flume are closing Main Stage on their specific days.

While very predictable, this is still a solid announcement compared to the first names of the past editions. And I still see some holes for the likes of Major Lazer, Foals and Beach House.

[DDave]

Parov Stelar closing the main on the Friday.

[Noeliam]

Great undercard but headliner wise it sucks! Would take the xx- the flaming lips- moderat to sziget.

[johnybegood]

No punk/hardcore/metal/Rock bands announced for thursday and friday.

Only rock/punk bands announced are Billy Talent, ATDI, Rise Against and Pretty Reckless all on saturday (some of them are too big for Shelter Stage)

Have they killed Shelter Stage or maybe it will be a new Stage with a different music each day (f.e. Thursday hip-hop, Friday whatever and Saturday punk/metal)?

I don't even think they sold out The Manchester Academy recently... 

[Trufflehound]

Pleased about PJ Harvey. Been waiting over 20 years to see her.

In all a reasonable announcement for me. Bigger names I can safely ignore so hopefully I won't have to go to the Main too often (although there may be some discussions with Mrs T about Mumfords and Elbow). A few middle-sized names I love (PJ Harvey, Interpol, First Aid Kit). Some smaller ones i need to check out (Car Seat Headrest), and plenty I've not heard of to investigate in the coming months. The Flaming Lips are always a fun fall-back if there's nothing else on.

Slightly disappointed not to see Sparks on the list as I see they are around at the time.

 

Oh, and gutted about no Right Said Fred, of course. Goes without saying.

They've always been on late evening in the Marquee before. I see no reason why that would have changed.
