Open'er 2018

[mln]

If I checked it correctly, alma and sigrid don't have any albums released. I hope they will play at 4:00 P.M., just after the gates are being opened. I understand that they have to announce smaller acts, but cmon, we are wating 3 weeks, it's April, and we're getting only 4 names, one Polish and two with no albums. That's ridiculous.

lol. Yeah super shit. But the fact they seem to be filling the stages with more international acts this time round isn't a bad thing, 9 Alter Stage acts so far compared to 6 last year (?)

That's the only postive thing. We have 4 international acts on tent stage on Friday, I hope it will be the same on the other days.

I hope Young Thug is the last representative of shit rap acts

Why? I thought everyone loved rappers saying 'put your motherfucking hands up' over and over while badly rapping over MP3's of their album played by some someone who yells 'hey' or 'yeah' sporadically... ?

I sense lots of irony in your post, but unfortunately it's true

On the other hand, believe it or not we are now only 3 international acts away from matching last years total (31), which is terrifying. However, I still see 4 mainstage slots and 4 tent slots open.

Yep, you're right, but it looks like we will get more international acts than last year.

On Wendsday and Thursday we've got only 1 act on Tent Stage per day (Fleet Foxes and David Byrne).

There's only Bruno Mars on Main Stage on Sat.

Still plenty to come.

Yep, I hope so. See you in 3 weeks.

Sigrid is great pop

Haven't heard of these acts but my hope for Wolf Alice and Interpol lingers on;)

New Kali Uchis album (out today) sounds great.

Still so bummed we waited 3 weeks for what we got yesterday

Oh shit, sorry for the typo. It's because yesterday's announcements are hard to bear

Yes it was surprisingly good:)

I'm also bummed about yesterday's announcement. Really hoping well get something more from the Werchter line up (not just Sigrid)

Very true! Let's have a beer or two on the dire Saturday

Although I seriously consider travelling to Werchter after Opener in order to catch their last day.

Quote

The rapper is reportedly around seven months pregnant (you read that right, she's likely in her third trimester), according to TMZ, and due in the first week of July.

Cardi B is pregnant, and the daddy is the guy in Migos. Baby is due first week of July. Possibility for a Migos cancellation (and room for Anderson instead  ) ?

Wow, that would be 2 in 1 because I was afraid that Cardi B may be playing this year's Open'er. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Cardi B definitely out, so we'll have to see about Migos. I doubt he would risk missing the birth? Wonder whether the other 2 Migos would perform without him or not...

Would rather they cancel now than there be massive 4 hour gap on the main-stage announced the day before due to 'unforeseen circumstances'

So do you reckon Saturday 7th of July will only consist of pop acts or will something worthwhile show up?

Reason why I ask is that I seriously contemplating going to the last day of Rock Werchter after being at Openers first 3 Days.

I think you should book RW as hopefully it'll mean Open'er announce a bunch of good shit

Haha, I know, that's what I fear will happen

On the other hand, my two favourites (Interpol and Wolf Alice) are playing elsewhere on the 7th so my risktaking is not too great.

I seriously doubt that they will announce anything worthwile in general, not only on Saturday. Let's say there are 4-5 free spots on Saturday, maybe 2 bigger names. I bet one of them will be a pop or hip-hop act.
Last year there were no rock acts on Saturday (unless you consider Benjamin Booker as such).
To sum up, I'd definietely go to RW

Thanks, you pretty much convinced me

Still looking forward to Openers first Days though particularly the Massice attack/Depeche Mode-day.
