The names are surely big but they're hardly... exciting. Not a fan of Pink, Mumford, Bastille, Macklemore  or Muse to be honest. So that leaves The Cure and Tool for me. And maaaaaaybe Florence, but she's played the fest a lot (same problem as with Muse, I get tired of seeing the same act over and over again).

To be honest a festival like Roskilde has a more exciting lineup than Werchter at the moment, by avoiding the likes of Pink and Mumford.

It could all change tomorrow though. ?

You can only book what's on tour and I hardly see any more exciting headliners going around Europe as of now. Looks like they only missed on The Strokes

+ Foo fighters and Ed Sheeran?

[ParanoidTourist]

Hope for Interpol, Thom Yorke, The Good, The Bad & the Queen + Foals today!

Here you go 2 mins early, some good adds IMO:

Elbow, Brockhampton, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Janelle Monáe, Khruangbin, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Angèle, New Order, Mac DeMarco and $uicideboy$

[Phantom_Zone]

New Order and Elbow will do very nicely thanks very much! 

Christine and the Queens would finish it off well for me now

Yes its a lot more pop this year but honestly I think it's a solid lineup overall!

Blink 182 - SOAD - Linkin Park were way worse on paper. But SOAD surprised me in a good way! (Blink and LP were terrible though...)

If that's way worse on paper just by the idea then my god! At least it days rock Werchter...not pop Werchter 

[ParanoidTourist]

Good announcement! The Good, The Bad & The Queen + New Order do nicely for me. 

Thursday still looks boring in my book. 

[Sparticus]

Decent announcement, does the layout of the poster mean Thursday and Sunday still need a co headliner? I was presuming Bastille were a headliner seeing how they've headlined Pukkelpop once or twice already

Maiden - A Trak- black eyed peas

werchter has been accused of ‘pop werchter’ since I’ve been going, it’s just a name and have had pop for many years. 

Its not like pukkelpop only has pop, hey even Glastonbury isn’t even in Glastonbury.

No, Werchter has had a lot of days with only 1 name on the highest line. That said, I still expect 1-2 names of the same size as Bastille, Macklemore, etc.

The fact it's been said Thursday is selling very well, they are in no rush to help that day out. I'd imagine the good, the bad and the queen are at Glastonbury too and basically confirms Janelle as Sunday.

Yeah that probably is worse tbf

This was disappointing....

There is only one band on the lineup I'm really excited about, TOOL. I'll go and see Muse, Weezer, BMTH and The Cure but that's it. This is turning out to be by far the worst lineup I remember at RW ?

[Chaarlie]

Positions on the stages are assumptions but Stages and days are correct. The way pink and bastille are written on the poster they're not a co-head so can't completely rule out another headliner - though I doubt it. Friday is looking very full now, thinking we've got 1 name in the barn but maybe no more for the main if tool and the cure play long sets. Other than that feel free to tell me I'm completely wrong on act positions

New order, muse and then underworld closing would be one hell of a main stage, but now at least two of them are going to clash, right?

theyve just put this poster on their website, surely one to go alongside pink  

Edit, didn’t check the previous page before uploading the poster

they've put the stages and days along side each artist if you go to the lineup tab, Muse NO and Underworld are all on different stages. Would say NO and Underworld wouldn't clash so Underworld vs Muse probably.

Yeah that’s what I mean, can’t understand why theyve got them all on different stages, could’ve been a great closing trio on the main. Hopefully the times are thought out for you, because could end up with New Order finishing when Muse have already started and Underworld clashing with them! 

[thewayiam]

Weezer, Janelle and Kylie would be epic from that line-up.

Macklemore will sub, switch Janelle Monáe and Y&Y, switch Angèle and TGTBATQ, Brockhampton one spot lower, Khruangbin one spot higher. Other than that, I think it looks realistic.

[e2p2]

It looks like Werchter has a great undercard once again and the tents looks awesome already! I'm a bit surprised there is no Slope artists yet. Surely it will keep going?

can't see why they would remove it saw some great sets from Tom Grenan and IDLES there last year would be a shame if they didn't. They only announced it's existence early feb last year so I still expect it.

Agree with most of that, think its likely Macklemore will sub but I'm holding out hope still, Y&Y then Jannelle is the order on their poster. Angèle is a returning sucessful belgian act so I thought they might boost her up a bit but a new TGTBATQ album will put them ahead. Brockhampton have blown up in the last year I can see them taking a decently high slot especially as they're in Klub C .

[Nicklord]

I'm in fear for that Sunday. Hope they're not relying on Muse too much

I even think Beockhampton will be above Gainsbourg, no?

[Gossard]

WTF is Beockhampton and Gainsbourg?

Where is:
Smashing Pumpkins
Tenacious D
Gojira
Parkway Drive
Skunk Anansie
The Chemical Brothers
The Prodigy
Greta van Fleet
Dropkick Murphies
Ghost
Wolfmother
Biffy Clyro
Richard Ashcroft
Prophet of Rage
Graveyard
etc etc????

This is ROCK WERCHTER for crying out loud...!

Beockhampton are a typo...  theres still space for a lot of those acts on the lineup too... I expect exiting new acts like Brockhampton and pop stuff is the stuff that shifts the tickets more and they can add some of those later... please.

Prophets of Rage > Prodigy > Muse
