Pukkelpop 2018

[DDave]

Looks to me like the first names on each day will close the day (AF, OATW and KL), the 2nd name will be on the usual main slot (TWOD, Travis Scott and Imagine Dragons) and the next name is the sub (Dua Lipa, NERD and Bazart) Bonobo, Goose and Justice to close the Marquee?

this is actually quite funny 

[DDave]

Ha. I thought so too, especially with the asterisks. Here's hoping it's a little different than the one last night.

You mean dance hall? 

And I reckon Justice will just be a dj set, no? So they should also fit in the Boiler... Unless they are a live band nowadays? 

Cant Imagine we've already got the big marquee names. And with main stage names like that, they better be damn good.

Justice will be a full live show. Should be main stagers but looks like it'll be the Dance Hall or the Marquee. Bonobo I'm pretty confident will be in the Marquee

It's somewhere between live and DJ, the production is absolutely massive (and incredible)

I was going to link to a video but don't want to spoil the surprise. It was better than Daft Punk's Pyramid tour IMO

30STM won't perform at PKP, but at Brussels Summer Festival. Thank god!

[gregory]

as expected https://www.pukkelpop.be/fr/line-up/abc/  (with a few small differences, no SHELLAC, BAZART on a different day)

Assuming they will add more names and have just put out the leaked ones because no point in just announcing them now?

 

this happened at Titp a few years back

[birchtree29]

[SilverLining]

Ok maybe not... 

[pryce]

oh hello Incubus!!

[DDave]

Anyone got any spares for Reading & Leeds?

So fucking disappointed after yesterday. 

[pryce]

not enough to be honest to fork out the 350+ its going to cost me, shame

 

I have no idea which festival to do anymore

Sziget

I have a few questions for you regulars...

I really wanted to see Arcade Fire this summer but they won't be at Sziget.
How much would cost a day ticket at Pukkelpop?
Is it likely to sell out? (thursday)
do I have access to the train from Brussels if I have a day ticket?

hope to see some of you there!

It will cost aprox. €99

Thursday will sell out I think, but you have time to spare some money.

Train travel is free if you have bought a ticket.

Thanks! So I have to add ~150euros to my budget. I could manage. Lots of interesting band on the first day:

Arcade Fire obviously, but also Brockhampton, Bonobo, Grizzly Bear, Charlotte de Witte all not at Sziget

+ War on Drugs and Chet Faker to ease any decision clash-wise.

Hope to meet some of you at AF as I'll probably be alone

He isn’t wrong, best festival I’ve ever been to. 

[TheNewUnion]

That's a mixed bag eh? Money spent on Kendrick Lamar I suppose. Enough to keep me interested but Friday very weak unless I'm missing something. 

[mr. brightside]

Dear Noeliam I follow you for years here and at sziget news also. 

Musically you are my alter ego though i'm wayyy older.

I've been at all the previous Sziget editions since 2008 except last year when i did my first pkp.

By the way we always camped at the same spot since you first came, i met you several times but always in a hurry.

Being from Greece, so a just little bit closer than you to central Europe.

Yesterday i checked the same with you because i want so much to return to Sziget (best place on earth for me) but air ticket from Budapest to Brussels cost 180 euros. And we have no other way to do it,  unless we travel day and night by train/bus to catch the first bands at pkp.

The train ticket is completely free from any belgian train station before and after the festival.

Last year's day tickets sold out when  we already were in Belgium so it has to be a few days before the fest. 

You 'll find it if you google it.

Besides AF struggle to sale their April date at Belgium.

I don't want to miss AF again as i missed the Relector tour and the spare dates you saw them at Nos.

And all the other dates clash with Sziget except that in Moscow at 4/8.

I spent the best 60 days of my whole life at Sziget but this is so tempting...

Sorry all the others for the spam...
