ROCK WERCHTER 2013

[thetime]

Prodigy and 2ManyDJ's for me as dance-acts

[karelaanzee]

Guess it'll only be Prodigy (on thursday). In 2010 there was also only one dance act.

[Gossard]

If there is only one I'd choose The Prodigy. But I'm hoping for 2ManyDJ's too, I thought they were exceptional in 2009

[Gossard]

Alot of festivals announcing names these days...hopefully Rock Werchter will soon do the same.

The Prodigy, The Killers, Deftones, QOTSA, 30STM??

Nick cave headlining northside in mid june, go to be in with a shout of werchter 3 weeks later.

Is there an expected date for more bands to be announced, or is it likely to come in drips and drabs?

[karelaanzee]

There's no date. I guess/hope we'll get a few names this or next week, otherwise we'll probably have to wait till half/end january i guess because they never announce something during the christmas holidays and the beginning of january...

If The Prodigy get announced then I'm going to immediately get a ticket - who can't turn down a lineup like that AND your favourite band?!

Just a question though, once you get off the Eurostar in Brussels, is it easy to find your way to your next train? Is it easy to get lost? It's just because the only two languages I can speak are English and Irish - and I seriously doubt they'll be Irish signs up in Belgium lol

Train to leuven is in the same station euro star drops you of at. Just look for the screens and you will see one to leuven or ask for assistance.

Once in leuven the shuttle buses are just outside station.

Most speak english so no need to worry bout speaking in belgian.

[Babyquack]

Everyone in Belgian learned French and English at school so don't worry.

[thetime]

Ah, thank you very much time - are you going back next year?

[Babyquack]

I am yes.

Keep saying I wont as want to try somewhere else, the lineups keep pulling me back in. The sunday night is awsome for me as depeche mode are one of my all time faves and editors my current favorite band.

Chilled out fest, lovely people, usually lovely weather and 4 days of music...All fantastic. Theres only one problem with the festival is the fantastic chocolate and cream waffles they sell, there so bloody lovely.

[thetime]

Haha, I'm sold!

Who's been your favourite act you've seen there? Did you manage to see Editors set from this year? I've heard it stole the show this year and was one of the best sets from Editors

[Dead throne]

anyone think kiss could sub greenday ?

very similar i think ...

For me, The XX was awful last summer. After about 2 songs we walked away. A good sign of how bad they were was my friend who was at the bar when they started playing. He ordered 5 beers and drank them all at the bar, just to get through the pain ....but of course each to his own

There are four acts that have stood out for me; Nine Inch Nails in 2009, Coldplay in 2009, Pearl Jam 2012 and Editors 2012. I must also give a big credit to Chase & Status 2012, Triggerfinger 2011 and Arcade Fire 2010.

The worst for me is The xx 2012, Mumford & Sons 2012, 30 Seconds to Mars 2010 and The Ting Tings 2010.

[karelaanzee]

Coldplay in 2009 was indeed great. They only did three festivals that year so I think that's why they were so thankful to the audience. In 2011 they did a festival tour and their performance at Werchter was nothing more than a routine job, compared with the stunning performance I saw exactly one week before at Glastonbury.

Haha yes opinions are different, we walked of after a few songs of pearl jam. I cant put into words how boring I found them lol.

Also found mumords quite good.

[Babyquack]

he was on that aparent lineup from last fm ...

although they had him headlining with arcade fire subbing and also had carly ray jepsen subbing rammstein ...

would be good though

[Gossard]

Carly ray jepson subbing Rammstein is the funniest lineup of two extremely different artists I've ever heard

[Babyquack]

In 2010 Pink subbed Rammstein
