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.

QOTSA announced for Oya in August. Message they have put on their website gives hope for the fans wanting them back at Pukkelpop. Suppose we'll find out if RW announce them soon.

Very good news! Bodes well for the August festivals.

Wet Leg for Rock Werchter. I was expecting them for Pukkelpop.

Doesn't rule them out but makes them less likely I suppose. 

 

 Fontaines DC, Amyl and The Sniffers and While She Sleeps. Simple Minds, girl in red, Wet Leg and Lola Young are coming to Werchter on Friday 4 July. RAYE, Elbow, Beth Gibbons and Barry Can't Swim are there on Saturday 5 July. Noah Kahan, RÜFÜS DU SOL and Overmono

 

Are also announced. RW have a knack of never really announcing anyone I'm that bothered about, either that or I've seen them at Pukkelpop the year before.

And maybe makes QOTSA, Khruangbin and Chappell Roan more likely for PKP

Fairly confident we'll get all those. Hopefully Khruangbin in the Marquee. 

 

Not out of the question we get both Chappell and Charli I suppose.

As someone's said on festileaks, QOTSA have replied to and liked peoples instagram posts mentioning Pukkelpop. They're 100% there now. 

 

Edit - They've also liked and replied to posts mentioning France and Sweden (+ Italy, Finland & Poland) so and Way out west, Flow, and Cabaret Vert should be announcing them again by the looks of things, plus maybe Opener??

Michael Kiwanuka announced for Way Out Here, same weekend as Pukkelpop

 

Highfield Festival has announced its first names. Doubt any of them will be at PKP though, apart from maybe the Kooks

The Subways would be a nice booking.

[DDave]

Socials have woken up. Names soon or just the wishlist. Would imagine most of the headliners have been booked so good chance we might get something before Xmas. 

 

On a side note, Parcels look to be ruled out, sadly. 

[DDave]

Way Out West hinting, well pretty much confirming Charli XCX

 

She's on her way to Pukkelpop I reckon. 

[Art77]

Line up from Victorious fest (weekend after Pukkelpop) landed. Will be good to see some of these at PKP

[johnybegood]

Can you see Nelly Furtado taking Sugababes slot? Or is she too big for the Dance Hall?

 

I must say that Sugababes was my fav performance of Pukkelpop 2024. Nelly would be a great booking imo.

Best set of the weekend and probably the year for me. Don't see why Nelly couldn't be in that slot. Way less hits than the Sugababes.

Huh? I think you need to check YouTube/Spotify, my friend. Nelly is much bigger and defo has more hits...
