I created an English speaking Rock Werchter group on Facebook just now. I'm hoping we'll get a lot of people there and build up the excitement for the summer

Last year there was a mid-January announcement and a lot of the remaining lineup released during February. I am obsessively checking the website for any news!

Normally it'll be this or next week. Very curious for the other headliners.

Mucho thanks in advance

I am getting impatient now! Is there a chance of The Cure playing? They seem to be playing every other European festival!

Wow, trust werchter to blow every festival in the world out of the water again. so tempted. The best thing is you know there's still mountains of good acts to come.

[thejimbola]

How many big acts do you think are left to be announced? I assume there is a headliner of some kind still to come for Saturday?

I would say 2 headline acts for the sat jimbola, neither wolfmother or kasabian will headline.

Headliners by the looks of it will be

The cure/justice

Pj/deus

Rhcp/snow patrol

The Killers might be a good shout. Also Rihanna.

Personally speaking, i'm hoping for Blur + Pulp on Saturday.

I would like someone like Kiss and/or Faith No More!

5 bands were on after kasabian last year so id expect atleast 3 big names above this time round, still lots of big names on the main stage, plus 6-7 on the second stage

[Gossard]

I do not believe that The Cure or Blink-182 are headliner on Thursday. I still think we are a headliner short there(Radiohead?). Also Friday is looking very soft. Hoping for a BIG name between Pearl Jam and dEUS or after Pearl Jam, like Prodigy.

No way Kasabian is a headliner or anywhere near headlining slot, they were very average last summer playing midday. I'd say we'll have a super Saturday with three names to be announced that play after Wolfmother and Kasabian...three BIG names.

The Cure is definitely headlining. dEUS is subbing to Pearl Jam. Deadmau5 is closing friday. The top 3 of every day on main stage is already confirmed, except saturday.

If that's true then i'm very disappointed...makes this line up very average. Was hoping for Radiohead with The Cure subbing...Sunday also very soft as Snow Patrol and Florence are surly not big bands and RHCP are crappy live. Friday crap apart from Pearl Jam.

If it is:

Thursday: Elbow, Blink-182, The Cure, Radiohead, Justice

Friday: Bon Iver, dEUS, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Deadmau5

Saturday: Wolfmother, Kasabian Incubus, The Killers, System of a Down

Sunday: The Black Keys, Snow Patrol, Florence + the Machine, Björk, Red Hot Chili Peppers

...this line up would really be something

I decided to put five bands each day as this line-up is just an example of how I'd like the line-up to be...
