Rock Werchter 2020

[brightside23]

Coldplay, Tame Impala, SOAD, Dua Lipa, The Strokes and maybe even Pearl Jam seem to be the strongest possibilities based on Ken's hints so far. ?

I think I missed Ken‘s take on Pearl Jam. Would be really strong if true.

[Kusy]

I would go for Springsteen as a headliner during summer fests.

I think that's from Pearl Jam forums from insiders about them touring Europe in 2020 and they never skip RW

I'm not sure if it's a stunt or not but I'm reading on Ringrocker that the fest sent out newsletters by accident teasing Kings of Leon and Twenty One Pilots. As two of the remaining headliners, one would imagine.

Is it time for KoL again

I'm wondering if @Ken19  knows more about Eminem? He canceled his festival Kamikaze tour last year so I'm hoping he'll come back this year...

I don't know if they are going to do that again. 2017 was not really a good memory. Everybody was leaving when KOL was playing.

To be honest I remember a lot of people leaving during Radiohead that year too, even to the point that it was a bit distracting. I think It perhaps tends to happen with the more static bands that don't really interact with the audience. Or if you are not familiar with the band and come with the wrong expectations for their music.

Or if you can't see the band cause they aren't on screens and have tons of smoke

So Twenty One Pilots shoud be a valid option for Rock Werchter, too I guess.

With all these Foo Fighters rumours for 2020 coming up, they should end up being here again, shouldn't they?

Please let it happen and give him a 4hr slot

Let us hope we don't get too much names from the Hu/So line-up! I don't think we have to expect twenty one pilots as a sole headliner a it would be their third show in Belgium with the same album, but in front of a bigger headliner (PJ, FF ...) it is possible, I think! 

Miya Folick could be a very beautiful Slope act though.

I totalt agree. Although Wolf Alice would be nice:)

Wolf Alice, While She Sleeps and Twenty One Pilots for me ?

I know it's unrealistic but I'd love to see John Mayer on the bill

It didn't really work in their favor that they placed Arcade Fire before them cause they would've been a better closer with their more upbeat/disco/indierock tunes and with the amount action on stage imo.

Yeah it is because of arcade fire that they played first, normally they had to close the day. They wanted to leave before midnight. Why, i don’t know.

Kendrick Lamar - Tame Impala

The Strokes - Bon Iver - Lorde

Arcade Fire - Lana del Ray

Pearl Jam

A man can dream?

I would say that he's rather ruled out? He has a very extensive tour schedule which has already a Belgian date at the end of April. Moreover his tour only ends June the 17th. I guess he's very likely for 2021 then.

He's out and probably a lock for 2021 with a closing spot from 12.30 till 2.
