Pukkelpop cancelled

Just saying. I had 2 tickets for the show tonight too.

Words are not enough. We have struggled with the decision to continue the festival. Therefore we have decided to cancel Pukkelpop 2011.

What has happened is very exceptional and could not have been predicted. We are deeply moved by all the spontaneous support the festival goers and the organisation have received.


We call on all Pukkelpoppers to return home calmly. Extra buses and trains have been organised to bring everybody home.

Undoubtedly many of you have many practical questions. That is why we ask you to direct them to info@pukkelpop.be.

We ask everyone to understand that this decision was extremely difficult to make.

How unfortunate. The Pukkelpop lineup looked nice too.

Yay! My only chance to see Em live! I waited 6 months, earned money by myself to go there and they cancel it. Yesterday they said it will go on, now they cancel it. This just ruined my holidays and my mood from this day will be cold as snow. Fuck everyone.

^ Did you pay a lot to travel?

I know I would have been PISSED if they had cancelled Osheaga or Lollapalooza when I went. Are they refunding tickets?

Damn it. I understand the decision and don't wan to be disrespectful to the victims, but I also see what may be my only chance to see Em ever ( the last time he came to Belgium was like 10 years ago) get ruined. The funny thing is, I actually dreamed about the show getting cancelled this week, but I woke up and thought: nah, shit like that won't happen. I guess sometimes dreams do come true... I looked forward to this for months. Only in Belgium...

You may not get a chance to see Eminem live but the families of the victims won't ever see those that were killed ever again.

Yes, that was at an Indiana festival a few days ago.

There was also one in Oklahoma a few weeks ago at a Flaming Lips concert, and earlier this summer at Ottawa Bluesfest. Seems to be common this summer :confusion:

This is a shame for such an important country. After what happened in the USA I thought they would do smth to prevent that. But selfish corporate cats only think about their business. I don't really care if they don't give me my money back, i want them to find another place for Em to perform. Because he had to come in the same festival in 2005 but had justice troubles. Now this.. Fuck belgium.

Belgium has nothing to do with that. If this happened in an other country, the show would be cancelled too, don't be stupid, people died. I'm a very, very big fan of Em, but I can't party knowing people died 50 m away. Be lucky it wasn't you.

I'm not talking about that. But when you call big ass artists and when you're ready to welcome more than 60 000 people, you should have some good stages who shouldn't fall. So fuck you too.

I'm just frustrated, man. I'm not the type of guy that complains about my country all the time (and certainly not a flamingant), but this has been a shit year for our country, you can't deny that, I'm not blaming them for cancelling either, it's just extremely unlucky this happened. And yes, what happened to the victims is much worse, I know that too. But it's another one of those difficult cases, and again, I don't want to be disrespectful to the victims, but we also eat warm dinner each day while millions are starving. The fact that something much worse happened doesn't mean we can't say: damn, I'm sorry I can't see Em now. Relativizing evrerything isn't necessary either. I may sound like a disrespectful prick, but just know I feel really bad about the people who are dead and wounded too.
