Aphex twin playing at field day in June. Odds for an appearance at RW?

Very unlikely imo, aphex twin is material of sonar&co.

Seeing past years RW used to book very popular electronic/dance acts (major lazer, kalkbrenner, 2manydjs, disclosure, moderat etc).

I think Aphex Twin is a little bit difficult to big audiences.

Yeah, well I was actually planning on Download Paris next year. But without being bothered for Green Day too much, I can get everything they have in a day + Foo Fighters.

 

4th trip to Werchter it is!

 

I'll be back with this guy then it seems. Want to see every band announced so far except Radiohead.

[nickybu]

Are we expecting another announcement this Friday with a few more bands or a big headliner?

[visdave34]

Green Day play a gig in Ireland June 29th, so definitely ruled out for RW now. Personally, I think that's good news.

Soundgarden are about.

[jonnyf]

I'm happy with no Green Day but I hope we get Rancid as they are in Europe supporting GD. I think Rancid are free on the Saturday it would make that day even better imo.

I'd love Soundgarden before Foos, but I'd rather have Temple of the Dog

Die Antwoord playing at Dour. Does that genereally mean they will be playing or does it rule them out?

Generally it rules them out and especially this time because Dour announced Die Antwoord as 'the only Belgian show this summer'.

Disappointing but expected. Weird timing.

So now you have 7 headliners 

[ParanoidTourist]

We all saw it coming. I don't really mind since we already have so many nice bands in the bag.

Blink182 aren't headliner I think.

It was predictable indeed. The co-headline AF/KOL is obvious but i'm surprised they don't clearly announce it. Could we expect another big name the would be the real headliner of that day ? I doubt so but I was wondering.

[gregory]

To see KoL headline 65,000 capacity Hyde Park this summer will cost about £70. Like them or not, it's pretty incredible they're playing Werchter and not topping the bill...

I think it's a normal thing, some bands are bigger than others in some country and vice versa (see Editors).

They are headlining - as ridiculous as it sounds sometimes they have two headliners a night.

Thursday is the hardest day to sell out, expect a dance act after KOL/AF, hopefully Deadmau5!

But probably Major Lazer.

I stick to my prediction that Major Lazer will be closing the Barn on Sunday.

Probably Netsky on Thursday though.

I thought about it too. They are more likely for Graspop tho.
