Very small over here. They're playing the AB Box in Brussels in February, and it isn't sold out yet while that venue only has a capacity of 850 people.

wow seriously ?!?!

thats mental, playing and easily selling out arena's in the uk

hope that gives them a realistic chance of playing lower down then

[the wonderwhy]

Biffy first on the main stage would be a sight

[karelaanzee]

Kasabian do so maybe.

[eFestivals]

Major player? I thought he only did a medium sized festival and a bit part dj on radio 1.

yep, he's on Radio 1 ... which gets to mean that he's able to speak to an audience of millions very easily - far beyond those who go to his fest - and has a much greater media focus on everything he does than just his festival gives him.

That gets to mean that if someone pissed him about, he can damage them back.

Hi,

Thinking of going to Rock Werchter this year for the first time, never been to a european festival before, just wondered what's the deal with the food and drink vouchers? Is it worth getting them beforehand? Or just at the festival?

I liked Arctic Monkeys in 2011, but I can't say that I'm too worried about this. I've always thought this band was too hyped anyway.

System of a Down are apparently touring next summer, get them as sub-headliners( I know, not likely)

But if there is an announcement next week what bands can we expect? The Prodigy, 30 Secounds to Mars, Queens of the Stone Age, The Hives, The Killers, Maroon 5, Bloc Party, of Monsters and Men, Sigur Rós, FUN. Bad Religion, Triggerfinger, Slash, Deftones...even Sting? ...or Soundgarden?

[karelaanzee]

What I expect:

The Killers and QOTSA to fill in the two remaining coheadlinespots (before GD en Rammstein). The Prodigy to play after Green Day. Bloc Party and Mumford just below the headliners. Sigur Ros for the barn.

Do you think Slash and Myles could play #RW13? I know he played Graspop in '10...

[guitarbhoy1888]

well i'll safely say my ticket will be purchased if a fraction of any of these bands are announced in the next couple of weeks...

[bigstoo]

Begging for Prodigy to be announced. Seen Artic Monkeys last time out, their old stuff is great but the newer the weirder...

[guitarbhoy1888]

ive seen the arctics twice, one of my favourite bands too, but if them not being there means the prodigy will then im well happy theyre not there

[Last Nights Hero]

Are Smashing Pumpkins a possibility or does playing Pohoda rule them out?

[Seattle1der]

Hi,

This is my favorite festival, excellent organization. As mentioned already the campsites are awesome.

Anyone knows if any of these bands sound like they are coming this summer? I know they will be on tour…

- Soundgarden

- Iron Maiden

- Queens of the stone age

- Iggy and the stooges

I already got my tickets but it has been a while since they don’t post any lineup.

thanks

Sigur Ros and Alt-J confirmed on a Dutch radio station.

[guitarbhoy1888]
