how does werchter fair in terms of repeat bookings ?

[karelaanzee]

5 repeated bands isn't unusual.

Selah Sue, Chase & Status, Kasabian, Elbow, The Vaccines were booked in 2011 and 2012.

Kaiser Chiefs were there every year from 06-09.

Apart from Editors, I believe Vaccines, Ben Howard and Mumford will be there again.

the ones who i was thinking were lana del rey (reckon she'll be everywhere this summer), chase and status/justice, noel gallagher and dropkick murphys (promoting new album)

how bout the strokes as the next headliner/subheadliner ....

dunno when the new albums out but seems plausible at least ...

[guitarbhoy1888]

faithless are on a lineup in america, its says live pa and dj set though.

i thought they were split up but if the were back touring i'd be more than happy with them being one of the dance acts ...

Its just maxi jazz with a mic basically.

I went to see him and sister bliss do sonething similar at gatecrasher nightclub in brum.

It was awful.

[Piranha]

tomorrow we will know! But i still don't believe that Daft Punk will play (on festivals) this summer.

[Sparticus]

Daft Punk have to be in with a shout, with the album due out in spring, also the lineup is lacking in dance acts right now. In terms of repeats I can see mumfords coming back, not my thing but these lads are popular worldwide, and werchter has proven in the past that if an act is popular, they will be booked again.

Anyone else think Sigur ros will headline the barn, seeing how they have been confirmed and were unhappy last year playing in daylight at bestival.

[guitarbhoy1888]

i reckon the prodigy are pretty much there eh ?

i wouldnt mind mumford, theyre the kind of band i wouldnt go see at their gigs but would go see them at a fest.

i'd like calvin harris to be doing a DJ set although i dunno where he would place ...

[guitarbhoy1888]

or how bout the chemical brothers !

[Sparticus]

I think Prodigy are definitely on seeing how they're touring and will most likely have anew album out by then. I don't think chems have anything to promote?

[guitarbhoy1888]

theyve not had anything to promote for years though ....

[Sparticus]

Fair one, I thought they'd been promoting albums when're they've gone out on tour. I know fatboyslim is touring but have no idea how big a draw he is outside the uk.

[Sparticus]

Did he headline tomorrowland last year?

[guitarbhoy1888]

its bigger for its genre.

i heard 13 million people register for tickets.

easily biggest dance fest in the world

[Luke Routledge]

Did he headline tomorrowland last year?

this 'info' is just made up bollocks, and that was always 100% clear ab0out it. Ignore.

If it were true they'd already be announced for Coachella and Roskilde, and Emily Eavis wouldn't be saying they're not doing Glastonbury.

[Piranha]

Tomorrowland is more popular because of the genre.

Almost everyone knows Fatboy Slim but just for 1 or 2 songs

[Semprini]

The Script have self-confirmed ahead of the official announcement later today, which is great news as it means they are unlikely to be at Pukkelpop!!

[guitarbhoy1888]

Where was this ?

They won't be too high eh ?

English version:

New on Thursday 4 July are Airbourne and Netsky (live) on the Main Stage, Jessie Ware in the Marquee and Bloc Party and Sigur Rós in The Barn. Volbeat and Green Day had already been announced for the Main Stage that day. On Friday 5 July Two Door Cinema Club, The Script and Phoenix will be joining the earlier announced Kings of Leon and Blur on the Main Stage. C2C will build a party in the Marquee. And with Richard Hawley the tone is set immediately in The Barn. For Saturday 6 July so far only one name had been announced: Rammstein. Graveyard can now be added to the Main Stage, Disclosure to the Marquee and Django Django to The Barn. Depeche Mode and Editors will finish Rock Werchter 2013 in style on Sunday 7 July. But before we come to that, A Day To Remember, Band of Horses and Thirty Seconds to Mars will perform on the Main Stage. Passenger and Asaf Avidan have already been confirmed for the Marquee and Alt-J and Of Monsters and Men for The Barn.
