I kind of hope the Chainsmokers do get announced if they are looking likely, the reason being that I would definitely not be going to see them and it would free up what could be a potentially devastating clash for me if they keep announcing names of this calibre and the Chainsmokers play a late slot.

Cant see it though as if RW is for an 'older' crowd they are for wee kids

So much generalisation on this group by people who don't give music a chance ... how can you say they're for kids? Because they weren't formed in the 90's/early 2000's and don play rock music??

Hi I want to spread the love and positive vibration on this forum ! So let's enjoy Arcade Fire before they arrive at Rock Werchter  ! Put your headphones ! (and yes The Chainsmokers are really possible, even not as dance act, maybe Klub C in the night, why not during Foo Fighters for exemple, many slots possible)

Just gave a few Chainsmokers songs a listen. I have to say, it's boring as hell...I hope they stay away or play in the Klub C if they come....

[branvan]

Broken Back in the Klub C would be nice...

Thanks for the Arcade Fire vid. Great live Band!!

[Apocalyptica]

Still hoping for the killers

Arcade fire isn't fun, they're just brilliant (imo)!

Amazing band and one of the best live bands on the circuit, certainly headliner wise.

Plenty of rhythm and fun at an arcade fire gig. Radiohead and arcade fire is what sold werchter for me this year.

What's the chances of Jamiroquai?

No Belgian date playing festivals around then, he would be ace and different live!

I'm getting old. I honestly haven't a clue who chainsmokers are. 

[Red Day]

Well , thanks to youtube I've briefly listened to them. There's good reason I never listen to Radio 1. 

[thetime]

Wouldn't chainsmoker have to be on the main stage? There's no way they can even go in the barn or klub c.

LP, Blink and SOAD is what sold it for everyone else ;). In all seriousness I'm considering giving it a go next year as it sounds like one of the easiest one's to get to in Europe and chilled enough that I may be able to sleep when I want to. I'd have only bothered for Saturday so far this year if I'm honest.

Do you think the lineup has an affect whether compared to when Glastonbury is on or off?

Not at all, 2012 was a great year. You might get the odd act not coming over, but there's so many big festivals June/July now in Europe. A fallow Glastonbury year isn't going to have a big impact.

I was there at Reading 2010 watching that song... and that youtube video brought all the memories back!!!! How can this god awful sound be any kind of music... just because you get your family involved to bang a few more drums, play some more instruments and drone some terrible vocals does not make it good. 

I'm pretty sure most people will be going for the stella Saturday lineup and the consistently brilliant acts booked by rock werchter in general. Cannot wait for the announcements this week. Lets get a few more bangers in Slaves, Prophets of Rage or an interesting dance act.

Well said @TheWerchterJuggernaut these people must go to festivals to either sleep or cry liking bands like arcade fire .. so dull I want a bit of energy not mum playing the guitar while dad is bashing the drum and sis is strumming the harp (no pun intended) bring on this weeks announcements and hopefully less music discrimination against bands people have nevery given a chance to before thy judge because their music is played on R1 ...

Nothing reliable but I'd love to see something like Biffy Clyro, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Slaves, Royal Republic and Cabbage

Catfish and the bottlemen were fantastic in the barn at RW15 and I reckon it time for the slaves to visit..... I am wondering what budget RW are likely to have as I really want anther established act like Biffy Clyro, The Killers or.....dare I say it Jamiroquai.

I've seen frank in so many different sorts of venues and he gets better every time! A class act

The killers and catfish would make one hell of an announcement.

[visdave34]

A Tribe Called Quest announced for Roskilde. Would be awesome to have them at Werchter too.
