Rock Werchter 2019

[santowhir]

The last 2 times I've been I've left just as the headlines come on (apart from Gorillaz). I don't know what it is but the festival for me nose dives at night and I've rather just rest ahead of the next day.

Didnt stay for the Gorrillaz either sacked it after QOTSA, only lasted 2 songs into the Artic Monkeys on Sunday also

So Hurricane Festival just announced it’s headliners: The Cure, Mumford and Sons, Foo Fighters and Die Toten Hosen. RW is already sharing two headliners with Hurricane. Is the 3rd headliner announcement going to be Foo Fighters next week?

If foo fighters and muse get announced, that’s 4 strong set of headliners for 2019.

Is 2 years between headlining not a little short ?

[Nicklord]

Not for Editors

Yes it seems very unlikely. Third headliner will probably be shared with Mad Cool since both of them had Foo Fighters in 2017

That’s whar I was thinking.

Find it difficult not to see Muse as a headliner

Muse is great tho

Agreed. In 2015 their setlist Muse played Micro Cuts and Uno which they played only 4 times that whole tour. They will pick unique songs for RW again

Not for werchter mate.

Would suit me I would love to see the Foo's again, they were superb in 2017, and my wife would like to see Muse as it is the 1 of the bands we haven't seen live she loves luckily we have Tickets to go and see Metallica (Who are one band)in Berlin next year. Ghost has already been cut off her list after Graspop last year, she gets the Bonus of seeing them twice next year once at their own gig in Stockholm and they are supporting Metallica at the Berlin Gig

I am guessing Royal Blood will be at Werchter this year also

In all fairness I was a bit let down by the Foos at RW last year. It started good, but dragged on for too long. Grohl's overly long and pointless speeches and silly covers didn't help. Was expecting so much more after all the years of hype beforehand. 

Don't expect them at Werchter either. They'll be doing the same tour that brought them at RW. Giving Pukkelpop a much bigger chance of booking Dave & co. 

Same goes with Royal Blood: way too soon. And I think they'll be making a record next year.

I’d agree with that. Monkey wrench went on forever. If they hadn’t jammed throughout a large chunk of the setlist, they could have added at least 5 more songs. Always liked the foos live, but they dragged the set out at RW in 17

Pink announced on Tuesday?

16-06 in the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam confirmed by the Dutch ticketmaster, that’s a lot of tickets to sell.

Got 4/4 last year so pressures on ? have no idea this time to be fair but I’ll go with...

 

The Cure, Metallica, Muse, Mumford

with maybe editors or Florence coheadlining one of the days.

2 out of 2 so far. Well done.

The Cure

Mumford & Sons / Florence & The Machine

2 correct so far. Metallica are a strong possibility as they have left that weekend open on their tour schedule.

That'll probably be because Lars goes to Glastonbury every year now. They're playing Brussels like the week before Rock Werchter; they won't be playing.

[AAlex]

Yeah I'm not expecting Metallica now, think Muse are very likely though. Have to see if Pink does end up being the fourth otherwise it could be anyone. Hoping there's a couple of bands that haven't announced anything yet like Strokes or Black Keys who are going to turn up at places, otherwise the 2-3 fests I plan to do next year could get qute repetitive ?

[Hatooly]

How about Maroon 5?

Any chance? I see they're touring...

You think Pink would headline? She didn't in 2010, she played before Rammstein that year.....

[frontsidecab]

I'd be gutted and surprised if Pink was the fourth headliner, maybe she could go on before Mumford or something?

Honestly I have no idea how big Pink is here let alone Belgium, I just got the impression that’s what others were saying but maybe they meant just ‘announced’ rather than ‘announced as headliner’.
