For me, the fact that it’s a lineup based festival, with no other entertainment, means that the lineup, kind of needs to be strong.   I don’t mean that in a disparaging sense at all. The festivals that i usually attend - EOTR and Green Man are more expensive for a weaker lineup (on paper). But you’re paying for the whole experience, and I’ve bought tickets for both before the lineup was released.   With Rock Werchter, though, I’m not sure if you could guarantee a ‘stronger’ lineup over 3 days. Potentially, I guess there would still be the same issues with touring schedules and exclusivity etc.   Compared to other festivals in Europe over 3 or 4 days, I think the lineup stands up really well.

Have to see what comes out of this summit..in long term they will probably have to do more, in short term though they can't fill the gap left of US stops arms shipments, and a ceasefire isn't going to happen without US driving it...so yeah he either signs or stands down and someone else does. 

From what I remember it's about 30,000

Follow me.

Was having a thought this morning as I saw someone moaning about Saturday being weak etc…. Now Werchter is one of the festivals that actually give 4 days of headline type acts as opposed to the normal 3 day fests whilst also keeping the combi ticket competitive in comparison to others offering the same sort of acts. Would people prefer Werchter to drop to 3 days and compress the acts they have and seemingly having a stronger lineup rather than diluting it a bit over 4 days?
