Rock Werchter 2018

[Nicklord]

Gorillaz and Pearl Jam are new for me. From big bands I didn't see yet I'd love Arctic Monkeys (I actually saw them in 2009 but I was sooooo drunk I don't remember anything, the only time it happened to me at a festival)

Did they show World Cup games in 2014? Any chance of that happening?

They will probably broadcast the Belgian games on a big screen if they're still in the tournament

[Tremousse]

If Beligum qualifies they'll probably broadcast it on the screen behind the Barn (the slope prevent from putting a screen in its area like they used to do in 2016), and I can't really see a screen in North West Walls area. If Belgium doesn't qualify, matches will be broadcasted in The Hive.

In 2014 they canceled SBTRKT's set in the KluB C the same day and broadcasted the game there instead.

They also showed all the games on a big screen at the hive....

Where is Stromae? Any news on his comeback? Would love to watch him again

No news, not even a little rumour so don't expect him this summer. I would love him to play RW though after all the praise after his concert in 2014. Also, I'm from Belgium and have never seen him before so I feel kind of ashamed

Stromae's show at RW14 was the proof that the Dutch speak fluently French and don't want to tell it ahah

Florence ATM plays OWF in Poland June 2nd and Melt Festival mid-July...so I think she's pretty much nailed on 

[Gossard]

Florence was a sub in 2015, a headliner in 2016.....I like Florence but please Rock Werchter, don't make an other Editors out of her

If she's in, then The xx are out. The Melt festival organizers have claimed that's the only festival with both on the poster.

[Dietediet]

Florence doesn't have enough backing her up to get 3 major slots in 4 editions. And I recall hearing something about only doing a few European fests in 2018.

Nailed on for 2019, I'd say.

Probably mentioned earlier in the thread but what are the chances for Depeche Mode to appear?

They already have dates confirmed on Thursday, Saturday and Monday. I can't seen them play 3 nights in a row so unfortunately I'd say slim, close to non....

I see. No, probably not playing 3 nights in a row. Well, hopefully another nice band comes along instead. 

[McCallion]

I love Florence & The Machine, but 3 times in 4 years would be a little excessive!

Orelsan as headliner ? What a shame :') 

[Red Day]

To be honest I’ve never heard of Orelsan.

Don't listen to his music. Spare yourself, I just did and I regret it

[e2p2]

I hope that Portugal The Man and Wolf Alice will get a 1-hour set in the Barn/KluB C.

Thanks for saving me an ear bleeding 

[Gossard]

I'd love to get Gojira from that lineup...they played Graspop this summer so maybe they'll do RW next summer
