Rock Werchter 2016

[e2p2]

Seeing The National headlining everywhere they play make me think there's no way they'll headline the Barn during Rammstein or FATM like I hoped. That led me to think about Beck for those positions and then it hit me: Do we already have Barn headliners? TLSP?  Robert Plant? New Order? 

[Tremousse]

I think that New Order will be Barn headliner on Thursday, I bet on The National to subheadline main stage on Thursday; Robert Plant is probably not Barn headliner because he was not in 2014. TLSP will maybe be Barn headliner but I'd better see them just before Florence on Sunday. I'd take a bet on LCD Soundsystem to be Barn headliner on Sunday or Saturday. Ellie Goulding possibly too, depending on the main stage headliner of her day, if she is announced.

Both of these have been self confirmed by festivals and not his Bruceness himself. Reckon we could get a big block Europe announcement this week?

Let's hope so

[Noeliam]

Arcade Fire just announced for Bilbao BBK, and they say that it's only one of two shows in Europe! Any chance Rock Werchter got them for Tuesday? I know that the year they headlined Glastonbury Werchter missed them!

Where they say they'll do only two Europe shows?

I really hope for Arcade Fire (if Radiohead will not come)

[Tremousse]

Now NOS line up is awesome... And we can wait for something similar in Werchter  Chances are very very high that we got a name (or two) among Bruce Springsteen, Radiohead and Arcade Fire.

No Arcade Fire. They only play 2 shows. NOS + Bilbao BBK.

Where is that said? 

[tricho]

Wake up! Nuestra nueva confirmación es todo un espectáculo y su pop barroco con toques de electrónica reventará el escenario del próximo ‪#‎bilbaobbklive‬ en la que será una de sus dos únicas fechas en toda Europa. Welcome Arcade Fire!

Google Translate: Wake up! Our new confirmation is a spectacle and baroque pop with touches of electronics will burst next stage # bilbaobbklive in what will be one of the only two dates throughout Europe. Welcome Arcade Fire!

This makes Pearl Jam still a big candidate for Thursday! Althoug Radiohead could have been a great addition.

I'd doubt the reliability of that, simply because it seems weird they'd book him for the Sunday when Florence is already confirmed and theres no Thursday headliner.

[tricho]

Maybe the date is a placeholder? And Florence could co-headline.

It would definitely work but I just think it's unlikely with Thursday looking the way it is. Also a possibility that he was booked for Sunday with Pearl Jam Thursday, then Pearl Jam pulled out so makes things a little less clear cut. Either way, wait and see. I'm sure we'll have news over the next few weeks
