Pukkelpop 2023

[Semprini]

Happy with those names. Got all the ones from Lowlands I was hoping for - Bicep, Moderat, Foals and Turnstile - plus Reinier Zonneveld who is superb. 

So it's likely Bicep will close the Main after Angele. Also hoping Foals are in the Marquee on Sunday, although Foals into Florence and then The Killers would be a strong run on the Main.

Years And Years are between Billie Eilish and Yungblud on the website for Friday. Do you think Y&Y will play after Billie?

I hope we'll have some names on Wednesday morning before tickets go on sale. I hesitate between Friday's ticket or combi.

Most likely be Y&Y, Yungblud then BE. Very good programming really for that audience.

Problem for me is that King Giz are likely to clash with either the Killers or Florence if they play the Club stage, unless they put them on about 7pm ish up against the Dropkick Murphys on the Main. 

Ideal scenario would be a main/Marquee run of King Giz - Florence - Foals - Killers - dance closer

Yup I think they'll get my money for the Sunday. (I do appreciate the other days too but maybe less fitting my taste).

Good job Pukkelpop!

For the first time they are offering a instalment plan. 

65 euros for 20 food/drinks tickets so 3.25 each. 3.50 if bought on site so 7 euros for a pint of Maes 😞

Also giving the option of upgrading to a combi from a day ticket which I don't think they've done before.

That's quite a brilliant option! This way less hesitation from people (as in me)  to at least go for a one day right now, and having to resell/buy separate day tickets etc if changing one's mind.

Best idea of the year! If they don't announce some names on Wednesday morning - like some people said here -, I'll buy a Friday ticket and upgrade it later if I have enough to enjoy the whole weekend 🙂

The Sunday is excellent, would definitely buy a day ticket if I lived more local. Only act I'd see on the other days is Turnstile so think it's a miss this year tho, really reccomend it for anyone on the fence however such a good festival. 

[polnico]

Had a blast on the saturday last year, so really considering a day ticket for the sunday. It's either that, or the full Rock En Seine.

[Archi]

Tove Lo ruled out: she announce a show in Brussels on June 19th.

Any chance we’ll see The Strokes added to this or do we have our headliners?

Another Belgian festival decided to skip on booking The Strokes, sadly.

I lost hope of them ever playing Belgium. 

[Archi]

New names coming tomorrow 8am for Lokerse Feesten. We could see more names coming there instead of Pukkelpop.

[DDave]

Layout for the 1st names (and 2022 for comparison)...spacing between the 2 headliners and undercard that's not on the 1st day suggests there's  another sub/closer to come for both days. No hip-hop or dance on the Main so far (assuming Bicep are in the Dance Hall) so my bet is one of each.

For what it's worth: trustworthy person on Festileaks hinted at Limp Bizkit subbing one of those days.

Forgot about them. Saturday you would assume. 

Frequency announce more names tomorrow. La Route du Rock, Green Man and Open Air Zurich not announced anyone yet

Hmmmm... Killers, Florence and Foals on the same day one after the other you say?

... the likelihood is Killers and Florence as one-after-the-other right? I'd have thought the crossover between the two meant it was unlikely they'd try and put them on at the same time as each other.

Killers and Florence on the Main, and Foals (or whoever) in the Marquee between the two. The two stages don't clash. 

[moogster]

I'd have thought Foals and King Gizzard would be just under the headliners! Well I will not complain if some quality acts are added in between.

[DDave]

Limp confirmed then..

Fascinating, thanks.

I didn't realise ticket sales weren't due to start for a few days yet. Chances that TK/FATM/Foals day sells out on the dot when put on sale? (Although presumably Billie Eilish might sell out first such is the hype train)
