posica Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hello I'm from Belgium and a friend told me that QOTSA and Bloc Party are confirmed; There was a leak on the website. So I think they'll make an announce tomorrow or saturday because of the leak and also cause they haven't announced new names since november (Sorry for my bad English but my mother tongue is French) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karelaanzee Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) French, Dutch and German are our official languages (http://sicmagazine.org/Roz/Languages%20in%20Belgium.jpg). Werchter is in the dutch part. Most Belgian people speak good or average English, so don't worry Edited January 24, 2013 by karelaanzee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posica Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 that's about fifty/fifty between dutch and French but you could learn Dutch cause Werchter is in the Dutch region Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Heard the ticket sales had a very good start, thanks to all those headliners. It's true the headliners aren't very original, except Depeche Mode and Blur of course, but it's still the only festival with six headliners (And, if the rumours are true, Prodigy, Killers and QOTSA will soon be added to the bill so that'll make 9 headline worthy bands (or 8, as Editors aren't headline worthy for me)). Most festivals only have 3 or 4 bands of that size. not true at all.Most festivals of similar size have all those bands or bands that are equivalent to them.

guitarbhoy1888 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) No uk fest would have top 2's of the calibre so far at werchter End of. No arguments. Edited January 25, 2013 by guitarbhoy1888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 The Prodigy headlined Download last year and I count QOTSA as a headlining act as they are headlining big festivals like Oen'er this year....and if you don't want to count Editors, then we can say 8 headlining worthy bands.....they wouldn't headline a fest in the UK that's the equivalent of RW. Download is not an equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just eight acts announced so far.There's just two acts there who would headline an equivalent UK fest as things stand today, and that's Green Day and Blur.

eFestivals Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 PS: KoL might end up headlining an equivalent fest in the UK this year, but that'll be luck for KoL more than the fest really wanting them as headliner. The sales of their tourdates show they've dropped from headliner level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Didnt Prodigy headline reading?come back to me when they're on the bill at RW. They're not as things stand.But they're one of those acts who might headline a major UK fest I guess, but they're not really quite that level.

eFestivals Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 KoL headlined R/L in 2009 and V-festival in 2010 yep, they did. But now the arse has fallen out of their appeal.They won't headline those fests again unless they have a significant up-turn in popularity from what they have now.

Gossard Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm sorry but I can't see any UK fest pulling out a line up like Rock Werchter does, they are not even close...but each to his own I guess.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
