ROCK WERCHTER 2013

[Deeps]

Surely it would be unlikely for Arctic Monkeys and The Killers to play and not headline?

But this year The Killers are headliners at T In The Park and in 2009 Arctic Monkeys were headliners of Open'er . So it all depends, they both could be either headliners or subs

Never been to Rockwerchter before! Sounds great but what makes this better that other festivals? Big fan of Electric Picnic, are there similaities? Atmosphere, crowd etc.

Hey there guys,

So I've been doing UK festivals for a few years now but next year, I was thinking of trying out a Euro fest. Rock Werchter was one of the few that look like good fun - can you tell me a little bit about it?

Also, how do you guys get there every year? Are transport links good?

When at the actual festival, what's the atmosphere like? Is the sound good? When's the music start and end? What else is there to do at Rock Werchter?

Any other useful info that you have on the festival then please send it my way

Cheers all,

Cein.

1. If you're coming from the UK, eurostar probably will be the cheapest and easiest way. Trains in Belgium are free with your festival ticket and free busses will bring you from the Leuven train station to the festival.

2. Very relaxed

3. Yes.

4. From 1 pm (3pm on thursday) till 1/3 am, depends from the acts

5. Nothing, it's all about the music.

So do people advise waiting for EuroStar trains to come to out as opposed to booking flights early on?

I've been doing some research and the Eurostar is a much cheaper option - that's what me and my group are probably going to do

[thetime]

I usually go over on the eurostar, all depends how cheap its for you to get to the eurostar. With the eurostar the earlier you book the cheaper it is.

The coach is the cheapest but that much longer to get there.

What i'm thinking guitarbhoy, I live nearish to Manchester so considering flights from there! Only takes 1 hour to Manc airport then hour and a half flight... Makes a change from the train up to Glasgow then bus across to T haha

[guitarbhoy1888]

does anyone know how flights work with luggage ?

i.e if you have a tent strapped to a rucksack will they class it as one piece of luggage ?

Cant see sting playing werchter next year.

Me neither, but who knows, maybe before Depeche Mode? He was at TW Classic this summer where he played before Lenny Kravitz and I really liked his performance. I'd love to see him again.
