Rock Werchter 2014

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

... Bastille!!!

Fuck yes!!!

and Biffy would be great too... so does Miles Kane and London Grammar!

great addictions!

[Com Truise]

Oh god and I was thinking of giving it a miss haha. BIFFY!!! The Wombats, Miles Kane and even London Grammar are great additions for me!

[Gucci Piggy]

Aerosmith fucking suck.

[Babyquack]

I bet you can imagine my reaction

The Wombats will be good, very good live even if the music is a bit pish

[Com Truise]

When I saw it, I literally said to myself 'Ha! Com's got a belated present from Werchter'. The person I was with then asked 'Who's Com and what kind of a name is that?' hehe

Yeah, not a massive fan of The Wombats on record but saw them in 2011 at the Roundhouse for the iTunes festival and loved them!

[Babyquack]

This has topped off my week to be fair Com's a great name.. for a dance artist

They were great headlining Y Not, good fun!

[Com Truise]

To be honest I wasn't too gutted they wouldn't be there when we ruled them out a few weeks ago as I'm seeing them in Dublin the weekend before RW but am so happy they've been announced. I may even buy my ticket tonight!

[phil5383]

Wombats were terrible at Pinkpop 2012 and Bastille sucks.

The rest of the announcement is great for me though!

[twiggyfool]

I seem to be the only Person unimpressed with this announcement

[Weller]

Think the top 8 (6 so far?) is weak on previous years, but the undercard looks strong to me.

Still a lot of spaces on the main stage that I can see as well so for me I am having a very positive view on the festival this year.

Hi everybody, is there anywhere near that sells cider? Or is it all beer?

[Grrrrrinyer]

Is there a difference in wristbands for under 18s?

I think headliners are pretty clear right now, with some additions I think it's gonna look like something like this:

Thursday: Main (Metallica-Placebo) Klub-C (Damon Albarn) The Barn (White Lies)

Friday: Main (Arctic Monkeys-The National) Klub-C (Ellie Goulding) The Barn (Jack Johnson)

Saturday: Main (Pearl Jam-Black Keys) Klub-C (Triggerfinger) The Barn (Pixies)

Sunday: Main (Kings of Leon-Kasabian) Klub-C (Stromae) The Barn (Interpol)

[49Lawson]

What's the festival's policy on taking your own beer? I see loads of people asking about it, I just assumed it would be like a UK festival, where you can take whatever you like haha. Is there a limit on the amount you can take in with you?

Also, today's line-up additions are awesome mostly, not a fan of Bastille live but they've got some alright songs.

Biffy are class though!

[Dietediet]

People here tend to forget that KluB C evenings are mostly given to electronic acts, with Damon Albarn as an exception. I think these are pretty accurate stage splits for the acts we've already got:

Thursday

Main Stage: Skrillex, Metallica, Placebo, Dropkick Murphys

Barn: Robert Plant, Miles Kane, The Wombats

KluB C: Damon Albarn, London Grammar, Valerie June

Friday

Main Stage: Major Lazer, Arctic Monkeys

Barn: Ellie Goulding, Jack Johnson, Crystal Fighters, The Naked And The Famous

KluB C: The 1975

Saturday

Main Stage: Pearl Jam, Black Keys, Triggerfinger, Imagine Dragons, Biffy Clyro

Barn: Pixies, Haim, Midlake

KluB C: Agnes Obel, Kodaline

Sunday

Main Stage: Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, Bastille, Babyshambles

Barn: Stromae, Foals, Passenger

KluB C: MGMT, Birdy, Metronomy

The bold ones are acts whose stage is either confirmed or implied by the organisers.

Just bought my ticket! Biffy was the turning point for me! Ah! Can't wait!

[twiggyfool]

So is anyone else expecting any more big names?

[Mushy25]

Absolutely delighted with biffy, and on the Saturday with pearl Jam its brilliant.

I was getting worried after the desperate January announcements, but seems there will be more than enough to see.

Biffy will be one of the bands of the weekend!

[Gucci Piggy]

The Saturday's real good.

[InvalidUsername]

What are the chances of these do you reckon:

Portishead?

Kasabian?

The Prodigy?

Eagles of Death Metal?

[kingken93]

Any chance whatsoever of QOTSA being a sub? Also jack white and interpol?

[heti]

QOTSA - none. Interpol are around so probably will show up. Jack hasn't so far announced any dates in Europe so it's a wild guess.

[Chrisw16]

Seriously thinking of going to Werchter this year, can someone tell me the best way to travel there from London please. Is the coach through Planet Festival a good idea?

Great line up so far, can't wait to book my ticket!
