I think that your predictions will be accurate this year. The only name that is imposible is NOFX, as they are doing their farewell tour in 2023/24 and there won't be no more european dates announced this year.

Ah fair enough. VB pulled out last year if I recall correctly 

 

Edit - no they did play. Must have them confused with someone else

5 minutes till disappointment 2023!

No Strokes for Lowlands. CDW headlining lol

Decent undercard

Billie Eilish confirmed on August 18th!

[pryce]

Think thats it for today on the news piece it says same time thursday and friday for more names same time 

[TheNewUnion]

Billie sells tickets. It was bedlam when she played a few years back. Good booking for the festival.

 

[DDave]

Playing the Friday, so that means ID for the Saturday if they get announced

[Archi]

Saturday headliner tomorrow and Sunday headliner in 2 days announcement?

Lowlands have announced on the same time :

Amyl and The Sniffers | Beartooth | BICEP (Live) | Billie Eilish | Bombay Bicycle club | Charlotte de Witte | Dimension (dj-set) | Dry Cleaning | Ezra Collective | Fever Ray | Florence + The Machine | Foals | Franc Moody | girl in red | gladde paling | Heilung | Jayda G | Jessie Ware | Joost Klein | Jyoty | King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard | L'Impératrice | Loyle Carner | M83 | Moderat | Nia Archives | Noord Nederlands Orkest | Nothing But Thieves | Palms Trax | heisrema | SHERELLE | SPFDJ | Steve Lacy | Tamino | TURNSTILE | ¥///0 $#£[[ | Underworld | Viagra Boys | Yungblud

[johnybegood]

Lowlands has 3 female headliners. Will PKP take the same headlining trio?

Something is getting better in our world in recent years!!

[Semprini]

Was hoping for more names today but the LLs announcement kind of makes up for that. I'd be well happy with M83, Moderat, Turnstile, Franc Moody, Jessie Ware, Bicep, Foals and most of the DJs they've got.

Think we'll get a name tomorrow that is 'new', so probably ID or the Strokes.

[Semprini]

Lowlands tickets are 300 euros so guess we can expect PKP to be something similar. Think it was about 270 last year?

I'd hope the other headliners tomorrow and then a batch on Friday similar to Lowlands but it does look to be headliners only.

Looking at it quickly, from the above Underworld CDW, Tamino, Fever Ray, Viagra Boys won't be there if we discounting acts that played last year or are elsewhere in Belgium this year. 

The rest + one or more of the Chems, Strokes or Killers would be a great start for Pukkelpop. Wouldn't be surprised if they just go with BE, Florence and ID though, which would be underwhelming for me.

Good and bad news…

Viagra Boys confirmed for what I think is their first August date (Way out West). They're a cert for Pukkelpop now

They're at Sziget in August too.

Don't care too much about Pukkelpop but any idea when we will finally see The Strokes in Belgium? 

[Newjem]

Nice to know my prediction turned out to be correct for once 😅

Damn. No Imagine Dragons at Pukkelpop?! A surprised. Any other shows in Belgium this Summer? And I guess the bad news is about The Strokes... sad and a bit surprised too.

Any clues for tomorrow announcement? 🙂

So that leaves Florence plus....who knows? I'm not a fan of ID at all but they would have shifted some tickets. 

Hope they've not put all their eggs in a Billie Eilish sized basket. 

Chems or the Killers lined up at all @Ken19?

Arcade Fire? I think they've only been announced for Cala Mijas and Kalorama

Billie must be a really expensive headliner, so I think that we will find "cheap options" for one headliner and all subheadliners.

Maybe CDW or Angele will take a headline slot, and options like Major Lazer, Foals, Within Temptation, Lost Frequencies... can take sub slots

[Dietediet]

Wouldn't be surprised if the Saturday ends up being something like Maneskin - Angele - some popular dance act. And then Florence on Sunday.

Billie will probably use up a lot of the headliner budget. Perhaps they could even shift to selling more weekend and less day tickets.

So Florence plays the Saturday at LL and won't play the Friday at Pukkelpop so we can assume she's the Sunday night headliner and I'm guessing CDW to close the main as that's the only night she's free. Still leaves Saturdays headliners (who aren't at LL) who we haven't got a clue about now that the Strokes and ID have been ruled out by Ken. 

Hopefully good news at 10am

I'm hoping we get Chemical Brothers co-headlining with someone else. Maybe even Calvin Harris could play but may be too big.

Would they book a favourite like Mura Masa who could play a co-headline?
