This year was the first year I hadn't been back (not counting covid breaks) since I started going in 16??

I was at Glasto instead but really fancying it this year again. So gutted as I missed Skrillex :'(!

Thought he was good, although not normally my thing. 

 

It rained every night, which was awful. The ground held up amazingly though so it didn't spoil the festival. Think I'll be back again, depending on the line up of course.

Not rumours but QOTSA are supporting Linkin Park in the States in September so they've got to be considered to make up for this year's absence. 

 

My latest predictions are.. 

 

Last Dinner Party / OATW / Post Malone / Amelie Lens

Khruangbin / Charli XCX / Justice

De Jeugd Van Vandaag / Papa Roach / Idles / QOTSA

Marquee - Jamie XX, Paul Kalkbrenner, Michael Kiwanuka, Royel Otis, Parcels, Franz Ferdinand, Strand of Oaks

 

If I were to pick 5 likeliest to be there it would be Amelie Lens, Khruangbin, Charli XCX and QOTSA and Last Dinner Party. Reckon Justice will be one of the closers also. 

Heard something about QOTSA playing some July European festivals including Werchter.

Pohoda are announcing them and the August festivals in Scandanvia that QOTSA cancelled are also announcing this week. If they all announce QOTSA then it would be hard to see Pukkelpop not doing the same, especially as the Rock Werchter headliners are all known now.

I can see QOTSA doing July only. Maybe first week of August in Scandinavia and skip Lowlands and Pukkelpop.

Jimmywe on festlieaks has also said he doesnt think it'll be QOTSA for Pukkelpop. Hmm

Might just be that another festival in Belgium got the gig. Can image the timeframe til mid August is too long or not feasible for the band.

Jimmywe confirms Chappel Roan as PKP headliner + a dance act after her at the Main Stage.

 

He also confirms Oscar & The Wolf for Rock Werchter

Just for context… (although I suspect it’s right, well especially the OATW part)

 

 

Oscar will probably be Werchter. Something danceable after Roan I suspect.

If that is correct then I imagine it will be Justice or Basement Jaxx to close. Be great to see that format feature regularly again as it was pretty common when I started going. Had some great finishes to the night on the Main with the likes of Kraftwerk, 2manydjs, Deadmau5, Chase and Status and Basement Jaxx, who were actually on the very first year I went.

Had it on good authority they tried to book Chappel Roan last year so would make sense if she's playing next summer.

Libertines ruled out, playing Ronquières festival. Shame, that.
