Sziget would definitely make a post about lineup annoucment. Every festival does that, they aren't just gonna announce names without first teasing about it -
Yeah It’s off the Glastonbury to Pilton Road, right turn just before Pilton if coming from Glastonbury -
2008 was almost 10 years before the 2017 lineup that you're referring to. Linkin Park in the mid/late 2010s did not have the same appeal as they did the decade before and were more of an arena than stadium band. Now they're back and are playing stadiums again, whether that's due to reunion buzz or not doesn't really matter if they're selling the tickets then that's the size they are, and everything suggests that this tour will sell. The relative size of a band is dynamic and Linkin Park are a bigger act in the 2025 festival landscape than they were in 2017. Not sure why Fontaines doesn't work for Linkin Park when they're a rock band with clear influences from other genres, including elements of hip hop. Although they do it in a different way you could draw parallels to the way Linkin Park also experiment across genres too. Also isn't this the same Rock Werchter that booked Black Eyed Peas and Iron Maiden together? I don't think you need to be restricted by genres and can be more creative in your programming than that. Also the ticket price increase since 2017 also has to be partly down to inflation across the entire economy, and especially with gigs and festivals. It's a bit disingenuous to expect more based on that alone. I'd expect a fairer comparison might be to compare individual gig ticket costs Vs festival costs (albeit with some discount as you're seeing shorter festival sets) and I'd imagine Werchter still comes out as good value for money. Out of interest, given who is either announced or believed to be touring this summer, who would you program for the festival? -

First announcement 9am tomorrow! I’m hoping this fills the void left by This Is Tomorrow as I have absolutely no interest in LooseFest. I’ve seen various articles state that it’s a 45,000 capacity festival so hopefully some big names due. 4-8 June as well which is 5 days! I have a feeling this will have an All Points East feel to it in terms of how it’s booked.
