Will they release more ?

I'm sorry, but probably not. They stated several times that they won't sell more tickets than in 2016 and these tickets are all sold out (except of daytickets for Friday). Even if they won't get rid of the Friday tickets chances for additional weekendtickets are low, because the capacity for Saturday and Sunday seem to be at the limit.

45 mins out. 

I can get two on Viaagogo for not much more

Just a thought, you have to give your name on the tickets when buying them due to Dutch camping laws needing to keep a register of who is on site (or something like that)

Whilst I don't recall them checking ID against tickets I would possibly double check this before buying a ticket from a resale site.

Isn't ViaGogo a little malafide? 

Maybe you could keep an eye on TicketSwap https://www.ticketswap.nl/event/best-kept-secret-festival-2017/weekend-camping/2319ed99-c26a-4fd8-8bc1-85275e1f06e3/54136

There is 1 ticket available for 200,- Euro's atm, but some tickets already have been sold for their normal price.

I wouldn't be camping 

surely even i bought off you then your name is on it ?

I am sorry, I dont understand.

Details about what I meant are on the website

[Nick07]

What I am saying is if you couldn't go and sold me your tickets then your name will be on them. 

[Nick07]

Are they hot on ID at this festival then? 

I know UK ones have names on tickets but just scanned and band given

They weren't last year but I think this message is new.

My guess would be that it would not cause a problem, it was very relaxed there. However its something to consider and just passing on for info...

[Nick07]

Cheers - was just going to get two tickets

Few more possibles

Some rumours that Pixies are the last headliner.

Makes sense. Pixies and Justice would make a decent first day.

Do you have a source? Would love to see them at BKS again, but they have been headliner 2014 and I'm not sure if a festival in it's fifth year will rebook the same headliner again already.

[JoostEmpty]

Not really a source.

The rumour started because of the eventim website. On that site there is a header with TicketAlarm, underneath you find events that are not yet on sale but will be soon. And both Pixies and BKS are there. So Pixies are coming to the Netherlands, only question is where, and tickets will be on sale soon. And BKS tickets for Friday will also be on sale soon.

Okay, thanks a lot.

Do Eventim usually advertise festival acts as separate events, too?

Massive Attack, Bonobo and Warpaint ruled out, as they're being announced for Down The Rabbit Hole this week (poster leaked).

[DDave]

Julia Jacklin also ruled out presumably. Few people on this board were hopeful of seeing her.

Not really arsed about missing out on any of the others.

Bummer; Bonobo and Benjamin Clementine would have been amazing to have.

[Tijn]

Massive Attack is a great headliner for DTRH, will work very well in their biggest tent. Wouldn't have minded to get Warpaint at BKS, but for the other names I really don't care. This is really great news for the BKS line-up. 

[DDave]

So, 3rd headliner.......

From what's been announced elsewhere we seem to be looking at one (or two joint headliners) of the below?

The Killers, The Pixies, Foals, Frank Ocean, Justice, New Order, Kasabian, Flaming Lips, Richard Ashcroft, LCD Soundsystem, Tame Impala, The 1975, Phoenix, Franz Ferdinand, PJ Harvey and at an absolute push, The Stone Roses.

Bonnaroo announced tomorrow which might throw up a couple of more possibilities. Can't think of many more being considered than the above names unless someone like Kendrick, Bjork or Morrissey come up with a tour.

Still fairly open really. If I had to narrow it down, I'd go for one of LCD, Tame Impala or New Order.

Run The Jewels maybe?

And I don't see Flaming Lips headlining. Their show in TivoliVredenburg isn't even sold out yet.

But as you say, still fairly open.

Run the Jewels likely to be a Sub I would say.

You're probably right. 

Another act I am hoping for: A Tribe Called Quest. Don't know how likely/unlikely that is.

[Tijn]

Don't think LCD and Tame Impala will be back in Europe for the summer. New Order haven't played for a long time over here, but my guess would be that they would be subbing at best. I like the chances for Frank Ocean with him being at Northside the week before and guess that the 1975 will probably be subbing for Radiohead as they are doing at Northside.
