Apologies accepted...lets move on

Would be more than happy with The Killers.

 

Chances of Snow Patrol? They (apparently) have a new album out this year and been away for a while.

It's not about others being "easily offended", it's about YOUR use of a homophobic slur.

The Killers would be great in my opinion before Radiohead (I know The XX are very likely to get that spot). And then there is Queens of the Stone Age who apperantly are releasing a reckord this year, I'd love to have them before Foos

Someone on the Pukklepop boards seems to think it's looking they will play headline there instead

Looking at their calendar, I think that The Killers are WAY MORE probable than the XX to be sub for Radiohead, I'd see The XX for Pukkelpop instead. Maybe we'll get the answer tomorrow  The XX are just a rumour launched here, but realism tends to be in favor of the Killers.

I'd take the Killers over The XX any day as The XX is not really my cup of tea.....

I think you could be right, although seem a better fit than the killers. Did not realise they have got so big, especially in the UK,

Hoping xx play werchter and sziget as they are amazing.

Yeah, me too. It's quite an unpopular view, but I find The XX extremely boring. 

[BlockRockinBeats]

Also does anyone know how likely Prophets of Rage are? 

Been listening to their EP and it sounds brilliant.

RW changed their Facebook's photo to a poster of the act that already been announced. Seems like a weird thing to do if they're were going to announce something tomorrow in my opinion. Could it be that there wont be any announcement tomorrow?

Very likely. I'd take the bet

The new The XX-album is being presented today at radiotation Stubru. Stubru usually announces the new names for RW on fridays @ 16h. They also mention, on their site, that big news is being announced for the Stubru-listeners today @ 16h about The XX.  Seems obvious that The XX will be added to the line-up today

Flemish radio station Studio Brussel tells the XX will make a "huge" announcement at 16.00 this friday afternoon. That's exactly the time RW announces new acts. So it's either the XX on the RW bill, or the XX playing an intimite gig for the Stubru-listeners at Club 69.

[SilverLining]

I hope the XX are the people that are announced although I have tickets for one of the Brixton dates.

just about finished my first play through of I See You and can't wait to hear the new material live.

Sold out 7 nights at brixton, can't remember a band playing brixton on a tour so much.

Better than playing a couple of nights in a London arena, although they seem to be playing an arena in Wales. Would be interesting how there sound went in a arena though.

That was me. With the amount of touring they are doing this year I wouldn't bet against them doing both. Subbing probably Radiohead or AF at RW and headlining Pukkelpop. Pukkelpop have taken a subbing band at RW as one of their smaller headliners in the past.

Makes sense that it's a RW announcement today now that the Belgian gigs have sold out.

99% certain it's a Club 69 concert. Stubru has never been allowed to tease the content of upcoming RW announcements before. And their tweet is in exactly the same fashion as previous Club 69 announcements.

It would also imply we won't get Werchter names today, as Stubru purposely chose to do the announcement at 4pm...

I hope so ... although I feel the millers are a bit past it they are still a great live act ... Branson has so much energy and the xx just don't seem to have the energy ... fingers crossed it's killers

Are these Club 69 concerts a night thing or a daytime concert?  Looks like Friday 3rd March is the most obvious date.

Could it be the Pukkelpop announcement Chokris daughter was hinting at?  You'd have thought there was more of a build up from the PP organisers if it was though and as good as they are it's hardly a massive first announcement.

So does everyone think we won't be getting any more names today?

I'm hopeful ... its been ages ... gotta get someone today surely 

[neacaisa]

Considering all the info, most probably not.

[nickybu]

Usual announcements are at 4pm right?
