The organisers of Pukkelpop wanted Pommelien Thijs to come back and perform again. This year, Pommelien is expected to play later in the day, they mentioned, which means she could have a better spot on the main stage.
Organisers said that Pukkelpop has a great lineup with some of the biggest music names from Belgium. On Friday, techno star Amelie Lens will perform. She has been very popular in Europe with her shows. Recently, she had big performances at the Flanders Expo with another techno star, Charlotte De Witte. This has made her one of the top names in the techno world.
