Rock Werchter 2019

[Johnny Moped]

I bought a ticket and I am disappointed. 

Thought RW would always deliver... 

 

No Strokes, Pumpkins, National und Biffy? ??

Majorly holding out hope for Vampire Weekend or Tame Impala (or both).

Yeah I'd be very happy with that. Less of the same acts and more unique ones. Still, I'm surprised that "Rock" Werchter passes up Tenacious D, Strokes, TSP, Metallica, Biffy, Royal Blood, etc. At least, for now. Based on the prior years I'm kinda surprised. Should still be a good show anyway...

Still time. Quite a bit to be announced yet.

Agreed, only high slot taken from that announcement is Balthazar and there will always be a Belgian High on the lineup so nothings really changed.

I'll have faith. ?

Really hoping they don't take Tame Impala and Foals...

I reckon they will have tame for sure unfortunately

[Gossard]

I'm seriously thinking about not going this year, It will be for the first time in 10 years I won't go to Rock Werchter. This line up is just really horrendous compared to Rock Werchter standards in my opinion....

Not going to wait for the full line-up at least?

[lightsnowpatrol]

I'm with @Gossard unfornately I've already brought tickets and flights etc but sort of wish I went elsewhere

Do you know the pukkelpop line up then or is that more an educated guess

The Friday for werchter is how the whole festival should be. It's stacked with big names, rock music plus you have a rarity with tool the other days are so bleak with not many options

Not at all but they'll be there..ok 99%- Tame Impala that is. Probably Foals as well ?

Strokes for Werchter then? Makes sense if they're at Glasto.

Me too! As it looks now, I Think Hurricane/Southside looks more appealing with the likes of Cure, Foo Fighters, Interpol, Wolfmother, Tame impala etc.

Exactly the kind of line-up Rock Werchter should have

Are they still a favourite for Glasto? I figured they'd do TRNSMT and All Points East.

Think Neil had some info last I saw, not headlining it... Killers, Stormzy and The Cure with The Strokes under one of those. Tame Impala and Twenty One Pilots for PKP so ruled out. No national or foos yet but I think its coming, on that I'm hoping for Strokes below P!nk and Editors below Muse.

[lightsnowpatrol]

@Jazebel pukkelpop now announcing and everyone's mood at an all time low with rock werchter, have you got any encouragement. Can we expect some more big names or interesting names.

[CallMePapa]

Reckon Foals and Vampire Weekend are definitely certain to be honest 

This man is still hoping for papa roach in the barn though...

No announcement this week because of pkp right?

Correct. Even more so, Pukkelpop will reveal a large amount of names next week. Depends on when they do that, but you can assume this means probably no RW-announcement next week. And hopefully RW "saved" some bigger names to "counter" PKP the week after. 

[Chaarlie]

Sheesh you recon they'll leave us waiting 3 weeks after that? PKP only announced 2 names?
