Pukkelpop 2017

[Kikujiro]

Hi everybody, Pukkelpop is my favorite festival and i've been there a lot of times since 2005.

Maybe you can help me with this thing. When i bought 4 tickets last year (for me and my friends) the form asked me to insert name and forename of everyone. But what if someone discovers he's not able to come and decides to give his ticket to another person instead? I'm not talking about reselling the ticket to an unknown person, just giving it to another friend: will he be admitted? Or is there a way to inform the festival of the change?

Thank You!

I don't think there should be a problem. Buying/Selling festivaltix via Ticketswap is safe and I don't think they look at the ticket if it has your name on or not, cheers

They actually do check your ticket and your id at the entrance when you check in the first day! I know that for a fact. A friend of mine even had issues trying to get in beacuse he wrote down the name friends call him instead of his first name. After a long hassle and luckily the adress matched, we were able to get him  in. So be sure to fill in the names and adresses correctly. You can however re-sell or "change" your ticket but then you'll have to contact Pukkelpop for that and give them the names of the persons (who's not going and the one who's going instead). You'll receive a "new" ticket and will have to pay a little bit extra for that, but then you'll all be 100% certain to get in.

I've been to PP a few times. Actually, they do check your ID there. DaveRSV4 is absolutely right. You need to contact the Festival and get a ticket with the new name.  

[arcuse]

Never got my ID checked and been there twice haha  But yeah, it could be but never happened to me (depends on the time you check in on the camping I guess?) Ive no clue, I never got checked

Well...good to know that is possible to contact pkp to notify the changes and recieve a new ticket! We come from Italy so it's very important for us to be 100% sure we'll all get in!

Thank you very much!!!

Not gonna happen though. Can't see any of that line up troubling Pukkelpop apart from maybe Frank Turner

There has been some crossover in the past and so I thought it would be interesting as a comparative. 

Frank is headlining on the Saturday night at Beautiful Days, and has his own festival this May so he may be reining in some festival appearances. I would love to see him again at Pukkelpop but I am a massive fan.

branvan, in case you don't know, Beautiful Days is the Levellers festival and so they will not play anywhere else that weekend  

 

[Semprini]

New Dour names today. Solange is probably the 'biggest' but bit gutted about De La Soul. Also wouldn't have minded Larry Heard and The Gaslamp Killer but not too much else to worry about (for me anyway!).

Reckon we'll get another batch of names in the next week or two, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Run the Jewels are back in Europe for late August. Can see them at R&L and probably at PP and LL.

Orbital ruled out - playing Summer Sonic/Mania in Japan.

I doubt if RTJ wants to return after what happened in 2015.

Pukkelpop announces RTJ in an early batch > Pukkelpop releases an official communication stating that RTJ unfortunately had to cancel all European dates > fans flock the RTJ social media channels for answers > RTJ state that only Pukkelpop is cancelled and hits out at the festival, claiming that being announced for Pkp "was a mistake" > few weeks later RTJ gets announced for a different festival on the day that they were supposed to play Pkp

Actually in retrospect Pkp has more right to be pissed off about this, as I doubt major festivals would announce acts before being 100% booked, and RTJ probably just didn't respect their contractual agreement because easy money grab. 

[Stef_P82]

Damn. Would love to see them though.

Completely forgot that ever happened.

Probably better to forget. I went to Lolla Berlin for some reason and hated Pukkelpop badly for announcing their cancellation this way.

Can't wait for this:

Great news: Richie Hawtin will be playing the 18th in the Dance Hall. https://www.instagram.com/p/BRqlE7Yhm_5/

That is great news!!!!

Looks like he jumped the gun which is why they've had to make it official. Nice that he's given us the stage too - had Boyz Noise down as the headliner but imagine Ritchie will close (excuse the pun!) it out.

Odd, having that announced on its own.
