Rock Werchter 2016

[Tremousse]

Foals, Wiz Khalifa, New Order and Bring Me The Horizon for Roskilde. (and Dusky and Odesza)

Foals are now highly probable for Rock Werchter. Roskilde already has Red Hot Chili Peppers, Action Bronson, Courtney Barnett and Mac DeMarco.

We'll surely get several of these 10 names. (I bet on Foals, Action Bronson, Courtney Barnett and Bring Me The Horizon)

Should we expect any new names this Friday?

The Rock Werchter social media manager tweeted on his personal account that it's too early to start announcing in patterns. At this stage, names will come when they can be released rather than doing a weekly Friday 4pm announcement.

I can see Rock Werchter booking Wiz Khalifa and New Order as well as the 4 you have stated. Thinking New Order would make for a fantastic Barn headliner!

Still thinking Red Hot Chili Peppers will be one of the headliners as well.

Although this is true I still expect/hope for announcements at this time on a weekly basis as several festivals have announced many acts.

What's the twitter name of the RW guy ?

Looks like the G'n'R reunion is happening...

Right up RW's street I'd imagine but I'd love them at Pukkelpop instead.

That would be amazing providing they turned up and could get it together live. I'd be a bit worried that tickets could sell out quicker than usual though which I wouldn't be too pleased about as have already decided on RW next year.. 

Can't see it though, think they'd either do a stadium in Belgium or Werchter Classic/Boutique

@jacob_be. He doesn't seem to tweet about RW a lot though, the comment about 'too early' was in a reply directed to a friend of his.

Don't think they'll fit in Pukkelpop's street as they're supposedly asking 1,5M per reunion show according to those same rumours.

Not sure if Werchter would actually. I know Graspop has had a lot of issues both times they played (once started 90 minutes late, another time 20 minutes early on purpose to annoy the other bands playing at that same time). A solo gig at Boutique or the Graspop field (like AC/DC this year) might indeed make more sense. Or a TW Classic with hardrock bands.

They, well Axl has a history of being an arse and being late.

Simple solution for any festival promoter is to deduct 100k for every 10 minutes they're late. 

That'd sort it out.

Gnr would pay them at the end...

Jk, they are not that bad now. I saw them 2 times, in 2010 and 2012. They were late around 20 minutes both times. And if it's happening Slash and others will probably sort it out with Axl. I don't think that they want to be part of that circus again

Last time they played here.

[Dietediet]

Dropkick Murphys, Pennywise and Disturbed for Graspop, in case anyone was hoping for them.

[tricho]

Will we get some news today? :/

[Bilbo Baggins]

Red hot chilli peppers!!

Hi everybody

 

how fast do the tickets usually sell out?

 

tickets are on sale on december 5th 9.00 am

[Rouckos]

So if Foo Fighters do a break, and if Coldplay just do stadiums, we can think about Radiohead or Gorillaz for the headline of thursday... I don't see other bands, I'm not sure if The National/The War on Drugs/Pearl Jam will be better for a headline 

[gingerevans84]

Editors will be in there as well. Are Disclosure or Rudimental big enough in Belgium to close out a day after a headliner?

[Luke Routledge]

Got a question for the experts,

Anyone know if there is anywhere I could buy a tent near the festival? Getting more baggage is more than double flight price!

There's a couple of camping shops in leuven and there would be plenty of choice in Brussels.

Depending what's more convenient for you really.

Wish they did VIP camping at werchter.

RHCP are headlining one of the nights.

Thursday usually has a major/strong headliner, because it's not easy to sell out a weekday. So we're still due one headliner that is not Editors/The National/Gorillaz.

Pearl Jam - Rammstein - RHCP - Florence/Editors (coheadline) seems like a very plausible scenario now.

I'd say that's what you'll get. Not much kop.

Hope you're right with PJ. The National would do just fine before Rammstein I guess, and Snow Patrol before RHCP.

[lightning1000]

Please not snow patrol, such a dull bland band

Well, if we'll get PJ & the National, lets have Beck too!!
