De aankondigingen in 2025 zijn geweest, tijd om de balans op te maken. Van de laatste drop met 21 namen vonden we er 17 al zeer waarschijnlijk of een goede mogelijkheid. Rise Against en Yard Act lagen iets minder voor de hand, Tom Smith hadden we eigenlijk al afgeschreven omdat Editors weer gaat touren en al overal in België staan en alleen Paris Paloma komt uit de hoge hoed van Herman.
Bijna alle hoge spots zijn nu vergeven, behalve die van Barn (sub)head op de vrijdag. De kansen voor die categorie namen zijn daardoor natuurlijk flink gezakt. Maar er zijn nog genoeg (50) plaatsen te vergeven, waaronder 24 op the Slope (weer in 1 pakketje?), 12 in Klub C, 8 in de Barn en 6 op Main Stage.
Alle wijzigingen ten opzichte van de vorige lijst in vet.
