Another nice bunch of names here

15 minutes from my house. Sadly I'm away on holiday or I'd have gone to that

Plans have changed if pukkelpop is going to happen. The festival is going to be smaller.

Makes sense. Any indication of how scaled down it will be?

Smaller than Lowlands? Because they're aiming for the exact same capacity. And a full, traditional sized lineup. 

The last Lowlands tickets sold out in no less than 3 seconds (!), which is crazy by the way. There's a lot of demand.

What Lowlands and DTRH are aiming for seems a lot of wishful thinking. I hope it will happen in a normal size, but I doubt it. 

Pukkelpop will be smaller. What already was the plan for months. Just like RW. I think there will be no closed tenthstages, but minimum 3 stages could happen (main stage, open marquee, open boiler?).

Only open air stages, that sounds reasonable. Normal size is never going to happen here in Belgium.

The booth is already outdoors and has the cheapest line up of them all so id expect that to stay as well. 

Lowlands has the big tents that dont have closed sides to it. Maybe something like that could work?

Also Off Festival (Poland) confirmed August '21 dates and will start revealing names during the next days and Paredes de Coura's Director (Portugal) said that 2021 program is almost ready and he will announce it soon, being very confident the festival to happen as Portugal reached zero deaths this week and will end its Emergency State tomorrow.

PdC website is currently offline so I'm expecting a big update by them very soon.

How are your feels during these days?

Oya isn't officially canceled yet, right? Given their statement last week.

All of these please.

not officially yet but surely it will be soon, as it always shares most of the lineup with WOW and Flow (both officially canceled). The three of them always take place in the same weekend and I honestly cannot imagine only one festival going on in Scandinavia that weekend.

I guess limited capacity and only open air stages ?

The government will decide the 11th of May what will be possible for the festivals.

Announcement tomorrow. Looks to be European visitors only (hope that includes UK!). Virtually no American acts...10k capacity - not sure if this applies to standalone events or they have something else in mind for the larger festivals mentioned? - any idea @Ken19?

From what I've read, it would include visitors from the UK. We'll know more tomorrow.

[Karlos12345]

Is an announcement from the government or from Pukkelpop expexted tomorrow?

[Stef_P82]

The government. They want to present their plan for the summer. I guess an update from Pukkelpop will follow soon after, once they know what the government has decided.

They actually didn't mention a maximum capacity, no idea where this (Dutch, not Belgian) newspaper got that number.

But this is so typically Belgian... Without an idea regarding maximum capacity, Pukkelpop and co are still not able to properly start announcing and selling tickets...

Edit: Chokri just said they're going for 60k visitors.

Chokri assumes full capacity, 66.000 visitors, or no Pukkelpop at all. I think they'll announce something soon enough now.
