Best of luck to them if that’s real…*

 

*I'm almost certain it isn't because LP are playing in Switzerland on the 20th and they seem to have no back to back dates. But looking at other festivals around with what they're offering nothing would surprise me at the minute haha

Fender isn’t going to headline RW and sub Pinkpop?

He's ok. Would be somewhat underwhelming, given the calibre of artist in and around Europe in June. How big is he in Holland? 

I guess that's the question. Just because he was Werchter headline level doesn't strictly mean he'll be big enough everywhere... or does it?

 

Maybe I was seeing it prematurely as another Editors scenario.

If Linkin Park's pattern is that they have at least one day off after show day, that wouldn't exactly be helping the possibility of them being here. Presumably their show in Arnhem also doesn't help.

 

Also Nothing but Thieves played this festival in 2024. Do Pinkpop do repeats?

Joost played in 24 as well. Would be pretty poor to have 2 repeats in those top end slots. 

Aphex and Sleep Token would be quality!!!!!! I watched Goldband in 23. It was somewhat interesting and super fun. But, as a headliner, well that would be bewildering to me!

Got my flights. So, at this point it could be Sclub7 and Aqua and I'm fully committed... haha

They can play on June 22, but that date is probably reserved for Hellfest

Well, it's fake. Sleep Token have only 3 exclusive shows planned for next year in Europe (RaR/RiP/Download).

Volbeat teasing announcement on their Facebook. Headliner Pinkpop?

Well, if they're suggesting 11am UK/12pm Netherlands tomorrow, that would help.

He sold out his concerts in one day so at the moment he is hot. But i have my doubts if he will headline. What Rock Werchter did is a gamble but at some point a festival got to give a chance to a new headliner who was sub a few years ago.... But Pinkpop is not that kind off festival who takes chances. They always have "save" headliners if you know what i mean....

[MK1]

And Muse is a good example. There is no doubt in my mind about them being announced tomorrow.

The fact they were apparently down for 2024 but opted not to do a European tour this summer as planned hints that what Muse could be up to in 2025 is merely pushing back their '24 plans. So they're absolutely possible.

Is Pinkpop one of those festivals that sells out fast in  a day or so?

It didn’t sell out when they had Fleetwood Mac headlining until a couple of weeks before, I think you’ll be fine

Beat me too it.

 

All of their 2025 festival announcements so far have been leaked early by whoever uploads the dates to their website, given they also did that for the previously announced shows in Finland and Norway. Which is quite something as a repeated trend.

It does sell-out eventually. Just depends what you want - from experience, the Glampink and ready made tents sell-out reasonably quickly (Festitent etc). Day tickets do as well, artist depending. But GA weekend tickets are usually easy to get until few weeks before.

I'm probably going to get pelters for this, but surely we need to have a serious word about The Last Dinner Party popping up as a sub at festivals like this (not the only one) given their track record of cancelling shows and the fact they've got about 2 singles at best. 

Really lazy booking for me, and I say that as a fan of the album.

They seem to have a big following. I'm really not privy to the detail on them. 

I think it's a pretty solid line-up!

They will be for sure on my Spotify Recap, but I also agree with you. 

 

The truth is that they are rising fast in follower number and they probably will sell a lot of tickets in 2025.
