"Once again five newcomers for Rock Werchter 2016". Atleast shows that these artists are lower on the bill and probably won't reflect the bookings for the mainstage

Where does it say that? I read "Once again five new names for Rock Werchter 2016".

Richard Hawley definitely isn't a newcomer. I saw him there in 2013.

Don't really know any of the additions so that's a bit disappointing but hopefully they're just putting out random announcements rather than leaving all the filler until the end. 

Any recommendations or what each of these artists are similar too so I can delve into a few that are similar to my tastes? EDIT: Please!

PJ Harvey - Rid of Me.

Don't know if that's helpful as I don't think she plays much/any of it live and her sound has changed a fair bit but it should appeal to your tastes as an alternative rock fan and serve as an introduction, probably.

Well, I'm sure you know PJ Harvey even if you think you don't. She's been in a lot of movie soundtracks and appeared with other musicians too (Nick Cave, Tricky and more). I think @dentalplan recommendation is a good one to start with.

In order to get into Richard Hawley, you'll need to put an effort. Not everybody is into his "Retro" style. Maybe start with Standing At The Sky's Edge.

Parov Stelar reminds me of St. Germain, more upbeat and less sophisticated.

Courtney Barnett has just one album, so there isn't many options to start from ;) . To me its sounds like she's trying to be an early-days-PJ-Harvey.

Just listened to parov Stelar. They just sound like chart dance music. Not for me at all. 

If you like pulp you'll like Richard Hawley. Courtney Barnett is really good like, hope she's in the barn.

PJ Harvey is great, but not really someone I'd consider to be a festival act. I'd much rather watch her in a theatre or academy venue

As long as she is on last it will be okay, don't want to have the same problems portishead had a few years ago.

Just been looking at the setlist from the first night of Bruce Springsteens US tour. 20 "The River" tracks and 14 "Greatest Hits" so there's hope for those who aren't fans of the album if he ends up at RW :)

A show of more than 3h30 !
