Generally I think this lineup has been pretty well received? I know on festileaks (Dutch language forum similar to here) most the feedback has been pretty positive and ticket sales seem to match this with two days sold out already. It's far too early to say that combi tickets aren't selling or anything else as we have no data on this and they usually wouldn't sell out in a good year until the spring anyway. Compared to competition like Mad Cool I'm not sure there's much you can be looking at on their lineup with jealousy. Would you really take Kings of Leon over Linkin Park for example, who have just sold out an EU stadium run and are one of the most in demand acts this summer? Personally I've got a combi ticket for the first time and think it's probably one of the stronger and more varied Werchter lineups in a while, hence why I've finally decided to go. Sunday for example, which has been subject to some criticism, has two BST sell out headliners in Noah Kahan and Olivia Rodrigo, plus Olivia is likely to headline Glasto too. It's hard to objectively complain about them being a weak booking based on the number of tickets they can sell, as also shown by their day just selling out. If you really hate that genre of music, that's another thing, but there will be 4 stages that day. If that still isn't enough, then maybe other more genre focused festivals like Rock Im Ring or Download would be more relevant to you anyway. I'm not sure Werchter, having booked high profile acts like Black Eyed Peas, Pink, Macklemore, Kendrick, Stormzy and Dua Lipa has ever been that festival. I think the diversity of Rock Werchter's lineup is one of its strengths and matches how lots of people consume music across different genres and have eclectic tastes. The great thing about music festivals is the diversity of current options, and I find the constantly negativity sometimes tiring. I understand there are good and down years given who tours and is available. However, if you look across a whole summer of different lineups in festivals in different countries and can't find something you like, at what point is the issue more with you than the festivals? -
