So at a guess netsky playing after green day? Mixed announcement to be honest, shocked bloc party are in the barn since they got a huge crowd the year I went.

[guitarbhoy1888]

I think netskys a remarkably small name in comparison to other names ...

Netsky is Belgian and is playing an arena date there so it's a pretty good booking for RW.

All in all the announcement is a bit of a mixed bag; but there are still plenty of bands yet to be announced so I'm still hopeful.

[guitarbhoy1888]

its not a bad announcement, just not particularly great ...

[Babyquack]

It kinda rules out The Prodigy... Shame, would have liked to see them

[guitarbhoy1888]

how does it rule out the prodigy ?

Scrap that, I was looking at 2012 dates doh!

[Gossard]

Are you sure thetime? They are playing Arras on the Friday....so i'd guess saturday after Rammstein is still a chance...

[karelaanzee]

nut overwhelmed. Lot of expected names.

Biggest surprises: Bloc Party in the Barn and Richard Hawley.

Hope there will be acts between Volbeat, 30STM and Phoenix and the headliners on their days.

[jonnyf]

Airbourne, Bloc Party, Graveyard, Richard Hawley, Band of Horses will check out others I dont know later.

[guitarbhoy1888]

im shocked at richard hawley opening the barn

[Deeps]

Do we reckon that's most of the big names out the way then? ie no chance of The Killers or QOTSA who were both strong rumours?

[posica]

Not a bad announce but it misses bigger names and I just saw

[posica]

And I just saw there is some pages which have just created on Facebook where people are angry there aren't The Prodigy and QOTSA. Are They so enjoyed ?

[guitarbhoy1888]

thursday- main stage- greenday, volbeat, netsky, airbourne.

marquee- jessie ware

barn - sigur ros, bloc party.

friday - main stage - blur, KOL, phoenix, TDCC, the script.

marquee - C2C

barn - richard hawley

saturday - main stage- Rammstein, graveyard

marquee- disclosure

barn - django django

sunday- main stage- editors, depeche mode, 30stm, band of horses, ADTR,

marquee- asaf avidan, passenger

barn- alt J, of monster and men.

thats what we have so far, not the right order.

to me it looks like sunday main is completely full, and i also think theres 2 perfect spaces before and after rammstein for qotsa and the prodigy.

also, is it just me or does it look like another bigger band is to be filled before greenday ?

not sure of the size of volbeat.

Having obviously already bought tickets and travel and hotels based on the 4 headliners - I have not really been too concerned with what else is announced, but the announcement today makes me pretty happy. Sigur Ros & Bloc Party in the barn sounds great... Django Django put out one of my favourite records last year.

[davalex]

lots of names to come but about today announce i'm really dissapointed. Hope for better names in feb and march

[Piranha]

Same here, dissapointing announcement... No names where i think these ones i really need to see.

Got my ticket booked for Werchter, been wanting to go for years but this is the first year I'm in a position to go.

Couple of questions if the more experienced ones don't mind?

1. I'll be driving from the UK as for a group of 3 it looks like it will work out cheaper and more convenient for us. Which is the best campsite to aim for? Got the XL ticket booked and will hopefully be staying in Brussels the Tuesday night.
2. How far is the campsite from the carpark? I'm used to long walks on this one, I'm a Download fest regular! It would still be handy to know though.
3. How do the campsites compare to UK festivals? More relaxed or more intense?

Cheers guys!
