As I just wrote on Festileaks, it's a strange announcement, I had never heard about most of the names but I'm discovering them now, so I waited a bit before commenting.
Looking at numbers, Wisp is bigger than any other artist I could expect. I'm listening her now and I already love her.
Stake, Crackups, The Reytons, Show Me The Body, Lip Critic, Lola Young and Backxwash also seem to be nice addictions to me.
I was expecting something else but I'm not disappointed. Talking personally, I'm always happier when I have something interesting to discover than when we got shows I already attended to, unless they're superb live acts (which I'm not expecting really much at this point). 
Let's hope for one last surprise after Rock Werchter.

That said, even after today's announcement we've got:
4 Main Stage names both on Friday and Sunday;
4 Marquee names on Friday.

 

I don't want to believe that something isn't still missing over there...

Indeed. Didn't see there were missing so much (2-3 names then for each stages). Could we really have to wait after RW or even after GMM to get more? If yes, which bands do you think?

Honestly I'm not expecting so many Main/Marquee-sized names at this point (especially after 6 weeks of waiting followed by today's announcement). But 4 shows a day on PKP's main stages is really too little. At least one more...

Scheme made by a Festileaks user based on the order the artists are showed on PKP website.
Denzel Curry was announced for Friday's Marquee but then he canceled and there's obviously still room for a couple of acts.

Show Me The Body is a great addition for me. I really love this band. I was not expecting them because they are playing Ieperfest in Belgium in July.

Friends, don't know what the hell is happening but I just did this on Booking.com phone app.
There's 20€ of taxes to add but it's crazy. It's a familiar room (4 beds) booked for 2 persons.

Strange, sure worst that can happen is they refund me

[Rico_Pliskin]

Ok I'm only travelling for the Sunday, just got a room for 17 euro. Travelling solo. Will contact them to confirm just in case

 

Breakfast included

For 2024?
I booked 2025 (free cancelation, pay at the hotel) but I also found Radisson Park Inn but it's only available for Sunday aug-18 2024 at 18€ per person, breakfast included 😲

It's a mistake, they just replied. yes for 2024

 

They'll refund the money I paid

Investigating the possibility of coming to this on the Sunday. Offspring before QOTSA is a dream!

 

If you buy a Sunday day ticket, can you pay to camp on the Saturday and Sunday nights?

[Name taken]

“Camping Chill is located across the street from the festival site.
A ticket costs €35, whether you have a day or combination ticket, the price remains the same. If you have multiple day tickets, you also buy 1 camping ticket (it does not matter on which date). If you want to stay at the campsite, a camping ticket is required. You have easy access to the campsite where you are staying.”

 

(from their website)

Thank you!

You mean The Smile before QOTSA. 🙂

So, Electric Callboy is the missing Sunday afternoon Main Stage act.

Thursday program also announced, including, for the first time, as far as I remember, Marquee stage. Equal Idiots, Portland, Meltheads and ILA my thursday highlights.

Expecting a couple final surprises for Friday program soon after Rock Werchter, but I think the program is almost complete.

Horrible. Was hoping for a decent name in that slot (like Idles).

Same here, hopefully clashing with something like Glass Beams, Fat Dog or Chalk

[Archi]

Damn. I've never expected such a good add! Love the band and was sad to miss them at Graspop on Friday... now this Sunday at Pukkepop looks so good! QOTSA, Offspring, Electric Callboy, Rise Against, Motionless In White, Lionheart, Jesus Piece, Hot Milk... hopefully, won't have any clashes with these 3 stages!

For me it’s QOTSA and The Smile. Can’t get into the rest. Electric Callboy is one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. 😅

Everyone has got his tastes and his festival goals... And luckily here we'll got almost 200 different acts on 8 stages :)

Can we expect The Hives or Idles to play between EC and Offspring in Main Stage on Sunday?

Is there space for one more band on Main?
