Rock Werchter 2014

[Stretchryan]

Just back from week in the States where seen the Dropkicks in Boston 3 nights which was class but have to say really disappointed with the final line up for the festival.

I think i may even sell my ticket.

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

really dissapointed seen that Thr Rolling stones are doing festivals this years and RW in its 40 anniversary has missed them... too bad

... in other ways... when do you think we'll have the stages and hours?

Everyone saying that Rock Werchter missed out on The Rolling Stones is untrue as dietediet says. It is just makes better business sense. It may not be the best Rock Werchter lineup but it has 5 headline bands playing in Metallica, KOL, Pearl Jam, AM and The Black Keys which is pretty good going by most standards and if TRS were playing we'd have about 2 headline worthy bands and the undercard would have suffered even more.

In my opinion, the over all line up this year is better than last year. Sure there were "bigger" acts playing last year but going through the clashfinder there are only 20-odd acts I'd want to see, compared to 35-40 I'd like to see/check out this year. Obviously this isn't taking in stage clashes and I'm aware I'm not going to see 40 bands over the weekend. Obviously big headline names make it special (Pearl Jam and Placebo are major talking points for me) but I think the under card is just as important and I'm happy with the bookings (For example I'd rather see Royal Blood or Oscar & The Wolf opening a stage than some shit like Paramore or Linkin Park subbing).

The only thing RW can do that would piss me off is if they schedule Pixies and Pearl Jam to clash.

I agree with Last Nights Hero,I really like the addition of Royal Blood and rather see them than a lame big band as he mentioned.

[Last Nights Hero]

I know it's far too early to know who'll be about but out of interest since this years line up is complete, anyone want to make any ultra-early predictions at who'll headline RW '15?

[Dietediet]

QOTSA

Foo Fighters

Arcade Fire

Muse or Coldplay

[Dietediet]

That new Black Keys single is utter shit, btw.

[Mushy25]

Just starting to check through the bands that I don't know. First up was Reignwolf, then Royal Blood. That is now 2 more bands than I thought I'd be seeing yesterday. This could get messy as hell with clashes, I've never wanted to see so many bands at a festival in my life.

[Gossard]

For me, it's all about the big bands. The smaller once that I might like are just a cool bonus.

BUT, I can't change the line-up so from now on I'll try to be positive. It doesn't mean that I like the line-up, it's just no point crying about it for too long. It's not the best line-up(actually, Thursday and Saturday are VERY good), but it's still gonna be a blast. And I agree with Mushy25, both Royal Blood and Reignwolf is something I'm gonna see

[foolee]

Agreed with Gossard it's all about the big bands, Metallica, Placebo, Pearl Jam, Pixies are my most looking forward too. Just hoping Pixies don't clash, if I can watch Pixies but miss the first couple of Pearl Jam so be it and I'd probably do that. shame they aren't on at the same time as Arctic's, not alot going on that day, even with smaller acts!

For other clashes hoping White Lies play main stage as I don't want to miss them and if they're in the barn they'll be the same time as Metallica or Placebo.

Smaller bands that will be a good watch will be Royal Blood and Crystal Fighters for me. Reignwolf seems cool too. Not too many other smaller ones I'm loving the sound of.

As for 2015 think it'll be something along the lines of:

Foo Fighters

Coldplay

Queens of the Stone Age

Arcade Fire

[twiggyfool]

The werchter app now includes the new line up so I would expect the times to be released some time soon

[foolee]

Are we really expecting band times this amount of time before the festival? Seems a bit strange... I expect the stage splits fairly soon but not the actual times.

[Babyquack]

Muse

Radiohead

Arcade Fire

Editors

That is probably miles off though

[foolee]

We've always gotten band times in April/May in the past, somewhere between the last announcement and about 2-3 weeks after. So I'm guessing we'll get it by the end of next week at the latest.

[49Lawson]

That's pretty good news then. I'm so used to T in the park and Reading actually giving you the stage splits but almost having to wait until the day of the festival to see the times. Do they sell land yards at rock werchter even though the times will be known well in advance? Would just be a good souvenir

[Last Nights Hero]

As for the RW app, do they use the 2013 app and just update it or is there a new app released for 2014?

Edit - Never mind, found it
