Thursday certainly needs something, it’s whats holding me off at the min. 

Same here! Pink alone still sounds like a weak headliner to me. When she was playing a couple of years back she was merely subbing as I recall. Hopefully a great co-headliner + a couple of good sub headliner acts are coming our way on that day

She was on before Rammstein in 2010.....!

Bloody hell! Now I remember. Yes, would be nice if they repeated the trick this year too;)

Wouldn’t say she was weak, unsure of her status in Belgium. Walked off during her performance in 2010, did the same at sziget in 2017.

so definitely not my thing.

Not sure of her current status in Belgium either so I rest my case. 

Hopefully something strong comes along as Werchter usually has pretty good acts on the Thursday.

I think that with the right undercards this edition can avoid a subpar comparison to others Werchter's edition.

I honestly would be happy with some of the following:

• Ska P (unlikely, they're in Italy during Werchter)
• Architects
• Smashing Pumpkins
• Die Antwoord
• Danny Brown
• Tenacious D
• The Chemical Brothers
• The National
• Foals
• Dream Theater
• Enter Shikari
• Hot Chip 
• The Wombats
• Slayer
• Opeth
• Rob Zombie
• Mac DeMarco
• Tash Sultana
• Reel Big Fish

(Among the ones already announced in the circuit this year)

Slayer won't be at Rock Werchter, Graspop are their final show in the Benelux area. Opeth and Rob Zombie both more likely to do Graspop....

I think we might get pop Thursday rock Friday pop Saturday rock Sunday on the main stage with the reverse on the Barn

I was hoping Jungle would be there the last two years so a bit jealous of that, if they put them in the Barn you’re in for a treat!

They will be in The Barn, stage splits are already known!

Still hope for Smashing Pumpkins on Thuraday. Could this be real?

My guess is they'll play on Sunday before Muse

So you're not officially in?

Defo in now. Missed out on Glasto again this year, went last year to Werchter and had one of my best festivals ever. To be honest, I have total faith in the undercard so getting tickets on pay day. I'm in.

Ahh didn’t realise they’d announced them with each act this year not really kept tabs on the website, that would be the first to turn green on my clashfinder! 

[tmolvik]

Are The Slope confirmed as a stage this year too? Was an awsome addition to last years festival...

[BlockRockinBeats]

Prophets of Rage dates next year?

 

[Gossard]

I quite liked them in 2017.....I didn't think I would, but I did

One of my highlights that year. That said I'm both a fan Rage and Public Enemy. So I was always going to. Really enjoyed their EP and album. Didn't realise they were carrying on though 

[Chaarlie]

Pumpkins playing the Lotto Arena a month before, does this make them any less likely?

EDIT: 3 weeks

Hmm, I'd say they'll at least want to sell that out before being announced at RW.....

Yeah I was thinking the announcement was coming this week after the NOS Alive one today but looks unlikely now

[thetime]

Being realistic that’s them out.

That's unfortunate wonder who that leaves for the pink sub, pink party headliner and  muse sub. Thirty second to mars, prodigy, Kendrick Lamar, strokes, tenacious d, Bastille, tame impala.

[Ikindalikemusiclikealot]

What are the odds of Massive Attack on the Thursday?

The National, Editors, Oscar and the Wolf, Vampire Weekend, Tame Impala, Tears for Fears, Chems, Prodigy. Still very up in the air, Lotto is only 5-6k capacity so I wouldnt completely rule them out as well.
