If only I knew RW gonna book Florence again in 2016.. 

Think I made the correct choice that night

Dont get me wrong,  Florence was great and it fitted my other plans in the schedule.  Booking her again in 2016 made the choice silly because its like I chose Skunk Anansie over Patti Smith essentially.

My mate thought SA were fantastic last year.  I couldn't be bothered hanging around after Beck and had early night.

SA were fantastic indeed and the crowd was at its best too,  despite the fact its the last act on the last day.

If Brian Wilson gets booked I bet he clashes with Radiohead and then I have a momentous clash to deal with.

It's actually the opposite in Belgium. Kasabian failed to sell out the arena The xx recently sold out twice in no time.

In Belgium Kasabian is actually something under a sub. They just got that spot because Muse was selling all those day tickets on its own.

I think you are right.
Kasabian is not that big in Belgium. They were lucky to sub Muse.
They were good but I can't say people were that exited.

In 2012 they played 4th down (fifth down if you count the dance act) between 18:15 - 19:15 ....that's more like their spot in my opinion

But who are we expecting tomorrow? Kaleo? The Killers? Prophets of Rage? ...others?

I really don't know who to expect, it would make sense for a big dance act but that's not really my sort of genre so I'm hoping for some decent bands.

Ideally I'd like to see The Killers but I don't know how realistic that is now, royal blood have  announced their first European dates this week, would love to see them there.

this is my first year at RW so I'm sure I want a lot of acts who were there the last two years that would bore the regulars

Prophets of Rage would be my pick. Beyond that, Killers, Biffy, Frank Turner, Nathaniel Rateliffe (higher slot).

I was hoping for QOTSA, but that seems unlikely now.

Noel Gallagher is touring Europe with U2 just before June (I think), wonder if there's any chance for him?

Also any chance of Gorrilaz do we think? Could maybe go as dance act at a push? 

[Slugy]

No Gorillaz unfortunately 

[tyranicide]

If Biffy are playing I expect they won't be announced for a couple of weeks until there EU tour finishes

[Chris Lfc]

In 2015 i was looking forward to Noel Gallagher but he was terrible, kasabian or the killers would make me very happy but the killers more so. Would also love to see Royal Blood/Catfish and the bottlemen.

Mark Lanegan and Biffy would be cool.

 

Think we'll get announcements today?

Probably yes. If they do it the same way as last year, you can expect an announcement each friday until the lineup is complete!

The European leg of U2 (with Noel Gallagher indeed) begins at the beginning of July. The week after Werchter I think.

[Skankhunt42]

Come on 2 hours til our next bunch!!!

[Gossard]

My wish list.....

The Killers
Prophets of Rage
Mark Lanegan
Biffy Clyro
Weezer (no European dates yet, but touring N-America in the spring, then month and a half gap, and then NA again middle of july)

[lightsnowpatrol]

My wish list for this announcement is The Killers, Royal Blood and Foster the People

Would be over the moon with that!

After missing out on BTS the Killers would be great! Jimmy Eat World, Frank Turner and Royal Blood have all announced something this week. Would be happy to sneak them in

I'd take those ones. Not fussed about killers but be great for the amount of folks on here who love them. 

[AAlex]

We finally bought our tickets this morning so I'm quite excited for this one!

hoping for Killers or Kasabian but would be very happy to see royal blood there, announced for BBK so looks like i won't be getting them at Beni 

[carlosd]

I hope we dont get Royal Blood. I really, really like their music, but they were dull as f$%k two years ago....twice. I would love getting the killers, foster the people and biffy.

[Chris Lfc]

Did a terrible 7pm till 7am night shift last night and now again tonight, please RW gods give me the killers and make me a happy man.
