There is nothing in the press release about new names next week. Keep that in mind. Normally by the end of the month the line up is complete, but I expect some news the last week of the month.

 

That's gonna be 2 very long weeks

Man i hoped that they would book some underground hip-hop artists like last year, maybe there is some space for JPEGMAFIA, City Morgue or somebody else or they just wanna rely on more older public

[tmolvik]

I don't like these big batches and think they could rather split them into next week if they're not going to announce anything then anyway. That said, I think there quite a few positive names here, and a couple of more I'm looking forward to getting to know. The Last Internationale, Gang of Youths, Alex Cameron and The Marcus King Band the highlitghs for me.

[lightsnowpatrol]

Is there any reason for the bigger batches? Not enough strong names.to carry a package or a tactic to try catch a wider of people and sell more tickets as @Ken19 said there was a slow sell so far

That’s a seriously strong line up with a good mix of new and old. Gonna be some big decisions to make with all the clashes going on. Can’t recommend Easy Life enough. 

Now to geek out and get a playlist made up of all the new additions...

Not sure if your in the know or just an avid festival goer but any names due for pukkelpop

 

[BlackFoxx]

Is there any sort of solo camping type thread or page I can join? Looks like I'll probably be the only one of my friends interested in this

[SDNL]

Some nice names in that list in a "hey let's go see this band while we're waiting for that other band" kinda way. Which is what I want from a festival really.

[Degu]

Tame impala and ????

Not in the know but there's names that can be worked out by what's around and been announced at other festivals.

The ones I'd say are 99% certs are Foals, Noisia, Soulwax, Pendulum, Black Country New Road and Caribou and I'm pretty certain Dua Lipa will be one of the headliners. There's loads of others potentials for it - not Snow Patrol though, they're ruled out.

If you compare the line up from RW with Lowlands, you can add a lot of other certainties for Pukkelpop.

Given that they tour with Pearl Jam it's possible!

 

Idles June , Pixies July

Tame Impala have a month long gap in their US tour, starting middle of June, I don't know if there's any dates they haven't added to their webite in that gap yet, but could they possibly be heading over for a few shows? Would make a perfect closer after The Strokes for me, and RW have had 'dance/electronic' acts play after the headliners in the past.

They already have two dates announced in Europe in these spaces between June and July ... to be honest I expected their name today because their new album came out today, but let's see, they were really good with The Strokes

[SCG95]

Post Malone has to be more likely to fill the gap on the Friday? 

Tame Impala / Strokes just sounds way too good to be true for me. 

[Sneakyfox]

What are the chances to see Alt J, Foster the People or Foo Fighters in Friday?

[Daniel Ferreira]

Today's lot only know two bands
JC Stewart who opened for Kodaline in 2018 here in Portugal.
The Last Internationale that will be here in my city tomorrow, I'm glad I didn't buy a ticket.

But today I still dreamed of wolf alice at The Barn.

The conclusion is that today the main stage closed on Saturday and 3 names are missing for Friday on the same stage!

How many names does The Barn, The Slope, Kluc C???

I recommend making a thread about it mate. I did that in 2018 and ended up with a big group, we had a great time!

Not sure underground is the word you're looking for but I agree, JPEG or Denzel would be amazing 

[sarahuertlop]

What about Catfish and the bottlemen as one of the names missing for Friday? They’re in Hurricane Festival on June 21

[Archi]

Today announcement was really not for me. I know only 2 names... They start so well but since 2 weeks, the hype is gone. A few great acts each days but not enough in my opinion to buy a combi ticket. I'm not surprised if tickets sales are not as good as excpected so far.

Haha I've seen snow patrol once that's enough for me for now, I look forward to seeing the line up 

[BKKTOM]

When do they usually release the poster for the festival? 

[BlackFoxx]

Ticket bought, looking forward to finally making it to Rock Werchter for the first time!
