ROCK WERCHTER 2013

[Gossard]

Are QOTSA

They play Poland on friday, Volt on wednesday so in fact they can still play Werchter on thursday or saturday and roskilde one of the other three days.

In 2011 they played 4 days in a row during the Werchter weekend...

[Kuki]

I still think we'll get QOTSA before Green Day

[Gossard]

I think, that Volbeat will be subbing Green Day, Or they aren't that big in Belgium ?

[Gossard]

In 2010, the friday (with green day) took the longest to sell out. They'll need 1 or 2 other big names for the thursday this year if they want to sell out and Volbeat isn't a big name in my opinion...

[Gossard]

...and maybe even the third band(between Volbeat and Green Day) if we put Volbeat in the same spot as Rise Against??

Volbeat - Bloc Party?? - 30STM - QOTSA - Green Day - Dance act

[karelaanzee]

Bloc party played just below Killers en Coldplay in 2009. If they'll play, it'll be at the same spot imo.

[Gossard]

Yes you're probably right...I just couldn't think of any other band when I wrote the post

But do you think we'll get announcement this week? ...or at least before Christmas? What bands do we think are certain to play RW13?

I've got:

The Killers, QOTSA, Maroon 5, Sigur Rós, Neon Trees

[karelaanzee]

Main Square Festival in Arras will announce their first names next week (monday 10/12). Probably they'll announce a small batch (4 or 5) for Werchter too on that day or a few days after (probably on tuesday).

Don't think Maroon 5 will play btw...

[karelaanzee]

Even QOTSA isn't sure:

Neither as of yet. Maybe 2014“

Maroon 5 are playing Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam Wednesday July 3d with Neon Trees as support ...that's why I'm guessing they'll play RW13.

And btw, this tweet is over a month old....(okt 24th 2012)

[karelaanzee]

Yes I know... But fact is that the first weekend of July already is pretty busy for them, and at most other festivals they're headliner, a spot they'll never get at Werchter. But we'll see. If they'll be at RW it'll be confirmed before the holidays I guess...

karelaanzee, do you know who this Jonas Bosmans is? According to him, and if google translate is translating it correctly, we'll get Arctic Monkeys, Two Door Cinema Club, Placebo, The Killers, QOTSA, Sigur Rós, Bloc Party, The Maccabees, Jake Bugg, Ellie Goulding and Eels at RW13.

I have no idea who this guy is, but according to his blog he knew about Green Day a week before RW12: http://lifeismusic-j...aar-belgie.html

The good news, if this is true, we'll get The Killers, QOTSA, Arctic Monkeys and Sigur Rós...the bad news, there is no Soundgarden :/

I don't really trust it. In my opinon there are way too much big names. There's no doubt Eels, Ellie Goulding, Jake Bugg and Two Door Cinema Club have a big chance to be there. But Arctic Monkeys, Killers, Placebo, QOTSA, Sigur Ros and Bloc Party are all headline- or subheadline-sized bands. Guess there'll only be three from that list... Or four, if Sigur Ros agrees to play in The Barn.

And Green Day wasn't really the biggest surprise on the line-up... If he would've guessed Blur or Depeche mode I would've trusted him a bit more.

(BTW, are Soundgarden a serious rumour for next festival season?)

'Rock Werchter in conversation with Placebo, QOTSA, The Killers and more'

There may be a bit names are added to our list for Rock Werchter rumors. So yesterday was very restless after some Tweets on Twitter were hurled into the air.

One Jonas Bosmans tweeted yesterday because some rumors that may likely be the tweets from all and sundry. Explanation will follow, as the first list of names which he claims that they actually organizing Rock Werchter are busy.

These are according to Mr. Bosmans Arctic Monkeys, Two Door Cinema Club, Placebo, The Killers, Queens Of The Stone Age, Sigur Ros, Bloc Party, The Maccabees, Jake Bugg, Ellie Goulding and Eels. Also Alt-J seems to stand at the festival he knew later in a reaction yet to divulge.

[thetime]

Thats the translation, so not actually playing but some possible name, would happily take a few from it to be fair

Just bit the bullet and purchased a rock werchter ticket...good times and cant wait for my 4th edition.

If it's true I think this is more realistic:

Volbeat - QOTSA - Green Day - Prodigy

Arctic Monkeys - Kings of Leon - Blur

Bloc Party - The Killers - Rammstein

Placebo - Depeche Mode - Editors

+ Sigur Ros headlining the barn on thursday.

Bloc Party played before Killers en Coldplay in 09 btw, no dance-act afterwards.

[the wonderwhy]

Would love all of them

[Sparticus]

Being pedantic here, but placebo headlined last time they played, just checked the programme and oasis and placebo headlined with prodigy on after.

I wouldn't be surprised if bloc party were further down the lineup, been away quite a while and not really come back with a bang.

As for the next announcement, main square are announcing December 10th, so possibly then.
