Announcement doesn't do anything for me. 

Nor me, glad I didn't get a ticket for this year.

Looks like they're doing stage splits on the website, reeeeally slow though.

[Red Day]

Looks like website updates wirh stages. 

[Red Day]

Friday main stage is pretty decent. Saturday reasonable, but thurs and Sunday for me is so bad

[Tremousse]

I was at the Nathaniel Rateliff show in Paris last night... They are incredible. + Glen Hansard, who I strongly wanted, and bands perfect for festival such as Kaiser Chiefs : I find that this announcement is awesome.

[Red Day]

Glad your happy. Kaiser Chiefs turn up at every festival every second year and tbh I'm totally bored with then. I think I've given up all hope of something that appeals to me being announced. Radiohead , the national, biffy, suede, band of skulls. Every friday goes from anticipation to deflation in one tweet

Glen Hansard, iggy pop and skunk anansie have made me happy. Just hope Hansard doesn't clash with editors, rhcp or band of horses

Dont give up hope for the National  (you can't with this PP!)

[Hawros]

Interesting now that the website's been updated - do we think Saturday is RHCP then Editors?

 

Edit: Just seen this page, and it does appear the case:

Very happy with Iggy Pop (never saw him before), Kaiser Chiefs (hope they'll be back in shape, I remember their 2009 set as splendid and tight), Skunk Anansie (they're downgraded from Main Stage however). Just gave a listen to Nathaniel - I LOVE this tune !!!

 

 

[Mar2190]

Nathaniel is great! Also never seen Kaiser Chiefs before, seem a perfect festival act (as in enough tunes to fill a set but I wouldn't pay to see them)

[Hyllebergxd]

I thought that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis was going to close the festival at main stage? But since they are playing before F&TM, maybe we can get another headliner who could close? And who could that be, if that is the case?

They will close MS, no doubt about it  - they're the "party" act, therefore they're lower than Flo. GOD, PLEASE for Massive Attack at The Barn/KlubC during their slot

About the sunday sub - I hope it's The National

Based on the stage split, I reckon that we have 6-8 mainstage acts still TBA.

I'd like to see 

THURS: The 1975
FRI: Tenacious D, Slaves
SAT: Biffy Clyro, Foals
SUN: The National, Bastille

I am a bit confused, am I reading this wrong then?  http://www.rockwerchter.be/en/line-up/overview 

It would make sense that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is the party act and will then close the festival, but according to the overview they are not the last at main stage. Which makes me thinking that we could have another act to close, since I found F&TM a bit weak to close, since they will almost play the same set as last year?

OK. I've just found the OVERVIEW section. Hmmm, now I'm confused

I'd not get your hopes up on a Sunday headliner being announced. Flo will get that even though she has just played RW and as you say will play much the aame set.

ATDI into Offspring and Saturday main bar TDCC is actually decent. Thursday/Sunday bar Flo is a no for me.

Totally agree

Think it's been much better in previous years but there is some additions I want for Glasto.

Sadly another bloody year without Glasto ticket. If I'd got I'd not have done RW. At least there's so much choice and other things to fo at Glasto. Kinda screwed if the line up doesn't suit you at RW as there's nothing other than the music

[Nicklord]

Editors above RHCP? 

[lightning1000]

Sure, why not? I don't think rhcp would fancy playing until 2am anyway 

[Dietediet]

Saturday nearly sold out. Not surprised, with two real headliners and some popular tent names.

 

[lightning1000]

I think it'll all sell out eventually. Thursday probably will on macca alone. 

If any day doesn't it'll be that day though as its pants and a weekday. Sunday is pants but on a weekend haha 

[Red Day]

Sunday really is rank
