Pukkelpop 2010

That ‘s right, you ‘re reading this correctly, Pukkelpop presents one of the revelations of 2008: Vampire Weekend! This New York foursome stood out last year with their charged up rhythms which placed their debut album high on our year-end tally. They are working on a new album so we can expect to hear some of their new material at Pukkelpop. Also new in the line-up is the Swedish Tommy Sparks who can put down the perfect popsong like his colleagues Sam Sparro and Scissor Sisters.

We are also very proud of the list of Belgians that we can expect in Kiewit. Established bands like Absynthe Minded, Daan, Stijn, Sukilove and Das Pop will present new work. The Belgian Indie scene is represented by Freaky Age, White Circle Crime Club, Creature With The Atom Brain, Team William, Drive Like Maria, The Sedan Vault, The Galacticos, Tomàn, Vegas! and Madensuyu, while bands like Krakow, The Bony King Of Nowhere and Yuko are ready to play your heartstrings and Spoil Engine will blow the speakers out. Additionally it shifts to electronic with Waxdolls, Nid & Sancy, Nitebytes (featuring Koen Buyse) en HairGlow (featuring Alex Callier). The DJ scene gets thicker with Dr. Lektroluv, Sound Of Stereo, Ed & Kim and Rave Our Souls

As a result of Jesse Hughes’ and Eagles of Death Metal’s calendar problems, we have had to move their shows from Saturday, 22nd to Friday, 21st August.
