[witte]

I'm in (for three days). It's my 'home' festival every year. 200 bands, 8 stages, well known bands and a lot of new bands. Relaxed people. Awesome!

[pukkelpop]

We will meet again nin nerd?
I can confirm: Pukkelpop is nice! :o

[pukkelpop]

NINday sold out. must be a new festival-record.

NINday sold out. must be a new festival-record.

Def not looking forward to all the eminemfans that will be at the front already.. I mean there probably isn't a change that NIN is headlining at another stage

[fillow]

I'm considering going there.
How much time do I still have before 3-day tickets are sold out, based on previous years? Because I need at least a couple weeks to finalize a company I'm going with, approve my vacation, etc.

[witte]

'A couple of weeks' will be a problem. 3 days tickets go fast.

[fillow]

I just googled 'pukkelpop sold out' and got mid-July dates for three previous years. Can I trust this?

[witte]

I'm talking about the 3 days tickets.
The one day tickets take longer (except the Thursday this year)
I remember one year it was sold out faster then Rock Werchter which takes place earlier...
Good luck!

[pukkelpop]

They say the 3days tickets (another 75000) will sell out around the beginning of May.
So i guess you should fix it in front;

[fillow]

Got my tickets.
This will be my 3rd show, after St Petersburg '07 and Budapest '09. And the first big festival.

this means no tickets for NIN on thursday anymore.

[sectial]

will this be the first time nin is playing before Eminem? or any rap band?

[witte]

no, they played before metallica in 2009 @ RW. another disaster

[pukkelpop]

totally different..Eminem-fans are smaller. lets make more noise this time.

[witte]

do not know what this means...
would be nice to see nin when it's dark (starting around 9:30 pm), just like 2007

a little concerned.

MAIN STAGE:
CHASE & STATUS LIVE (http://www.pukkelpop.be/en/bands/chase-status-live) - EMINEM (http://www.pukkelpop.be/en/bands/eminem) - NINE INCH NAILS (http://www.pukkelpop.be/en/bands/nine-inch-nails) - FALL OUT BOY (http://www.pukkelpop.be/en/bands/fall-out-boy) - DEFTONES (http://www.pukkelpop.be/en/bands/deftones) - KENDRICK LAMAR (http://www.pukkelpop.be/en/bands/kendrick-lamar) - MAC MILLER (http://www.pukkelpop.be/en/bands/mac-miller) - IMAGINE DRAGONS (http://www.pukkelpop.be/en/bands/imagine-dragons) - SCHOOL IS COOL (http://www.pukkelpop.be/en/bands/school-is-cool)

[fillow]

This doesn't mean anything. NIN and Em are headlining, they can't be this early.

[witte]

yes, i know.
i think 'chase & status' will play through the night (starting around 1:00), just like 'goose' will do on saturday....
just want to be sure ;)

aaah, you're coming too? nice.

Oh, no. Not me. But our mutual friend is (hopefully).

Bummer, there aren't any late night buses this year to nearby areas (such as Genk, where I'm staying).
Latest available buses and trains leave around 0:00, which means I'm to miss GYBE, The Prodigy and Opeth.

Any suggestions? :)

Any suggestions? :) fuck, i'm sorry man. first year they don't do this..

suggestions: lifting, why not?
there is a night bus to Hasselt, "avondlijn", so maybe you can go one night into the city for some drinks, the first buses elsewhere start at 6 am.

[witte]

Nervous already. Today I'll pick up my wristband.

[pukkelpop]

update of my last message:

[scotty79]

according to that link there will be no stream for nin unless it changes

[Batolle]

Yeah, no live feed.

[witte]

Be happy. ^^

Edit (after a night sleep):

For me the show was an anticlimax! Very disappointed.

The visuals were great, to be clear.
The sound was horrible. The energy didn't reach the audience.
The setlist: yeah, it's a festival setlist....nevermind. Maybe I saw NIN too often in the past years. There are a couple of songs I really cannot dig anymore.
I think Trent was pissed. They still had 10 minutes playtime, but no music.

[TinDefacto]

Does anyone who attended have info on the setlist? Much appreciated!

[frantic666]

WTF happened here? One to forget.

[fillow]

Setlist above is right.
Not mentioning the short lentgh of the show, it was awesome in all other aspects. New version of Sactified = biggest WTF moment. Didn't recognized it till the lyrics started.
What sucked the most: apathetic crowd (except maybe the pit right in front of the stage). Especially towards the end, when the field started to get filled with asshole teenage eminem fans.

[thom25]

Trent just gave an interview on BBC and they ask him about it. He was pissed, saying they "sucked", but I think underlying the short set was opening for Eminem. He talks about how it was still light out and the crowd just wasn't there to see him. It starts at the one hour mark.
