Rock Werchter 2012

[Sparticus]

I think blink will play but third from top, basing that on them playing pukkelpop a couple of years ago and were nowhere near the headliner spot. Smashing pumpkins have a new album out, could be one of the eight or again maybe third from top, just due to the drop in popularity. I'd say radiohead are a shoe in, let's just hope they don't torture the people of werchter with the kings of limbs too much. Ratm have been rumoured by a few different places, as have rammstein due to the greatest hits tour.

If werchter really want to smash it, then book kanye & Jay Z!

radiohead will be doing a tour of king of limbs mostly! although I cant see where the rumours of them being a shoe in are.

im used to glastonbury but would love to see PJ at over seas festi can some one give me some idea of size and crowds ect so i can get some idea ...

thanks

It's a lot smaller compared with Glastonbury, only two stages but they've a usually a good line-up so if you're a bit open-minded you'll have enough to do and see.

The capacity is a bit more than 80.000 people a day. The crowd is pretty good, better than other European festivals like Pinkpop or Main Square Festival.

How long do we have to buy tickets? When is it likely to sell out and when should we sort out the Eurostar? I feel like such a beginner!

[thetime]

Didnt sell out until last minute last year, but year before was around march.

All depends on headliners really.

Eurostar you can book 3 months in advance, best to book early as its alot cheaper.

Funny guypjfreak, I've got your profile pic as a tattoo on my arm

But some rumors flying around that the last two headliners will be two of Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Muse. I think Radiohead will headline the Thursday and if it wasin't for the accident at Pukklepop this summer I'd say Foos on Saturday. I don't know where this Muse rumor comes from though....

[Gossard]

Are you going to Roskilde thetime? Been there a few times and don't really like it. To far between stages so you're running all day and the line up is usually not that strong. ...but the beer is good and the Scandinavian women are gorgeous

[Gossard]

The Radiohead "rumor" is simply festival math or show math. They are playing in Italy on the Saturday and Sunday but are free on the Thursday and Friday...plus they haven't played Werchter since 06 or 07. But as I'm not really a big fan I'm hoping for someone else, Foo Fighters and System of a Down

/user/101679-guypjfreak/">guypjfreak: Me and my girlfriend got tickets to both Amsterdam showes on June 26 and June 27 So it will be three times in four days(incl. Werchter og the Friday), not bad

TheTime: I've seen RHCP live and I agree with you, but Graspop lookes really good(I always do Graspop AND Rock Werchter ) and then the Pearl Jam announcement came and it was not a question any more. My fourth GMM/RW trip from Iceland

Any news of more announcements?

[guypjfreak]

Any news of more announcements?

[karelaanzee]

If they're not coming this week, more names will be announced in january because they never announce something during the christmas holidays.

[Gossard]

yea just thinking that IOW has just revealed more acts and apart from PJ im not that interested so its this festi or ive got tic for Manchester !!!

need to hear of wot acts are coming lol

[guypjfreak]

Get your ass to RW, I'll buy you a beer and we can swap Eddie Vedder tattoo stories ;P

[Gossard]

Does anyone know any rumors about more bands? ...or about when the next announcement is coming?

[karelaanzee]

Next announcement will come this week, next week or in two weeks. But I guess it'll be next week.

There are a lot of rumoured bands like Snow Patrol, Rage Agains The Machine, SOAD, dEUS, Rihanna,... but it's very unsure who the other headliners will be. In a few weeks, we'll surely will know more.

[Gossard]

Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down would be my choice for headliners

[karelaanzee]

Guess we'll have one of those two. But in my opinion they can't headline Werchter, they'll subheadline if they come.

[Gossard]

I would think both bands are big enough to headline....but SOAD co-headlining with RATM would be even better

[thejimbola]

Tickets purchased! Pearl Jam me up!!!
