Is Neil Young touring Europe next year?Perhaps a question Ken can answer. Would he be an option for Werchter?

Of course, but there are a lot of names in that post. I reckon it will not be all of them on RW right? (Which I wouldn't have any problems with, by the way :))

Well...directly after a question about Uncle Neil.......

[Karlos12345]

I was thinking: Neil Young & CH AND Bruce Springsteen wouldn‘t work as Nils Lofgren is part of both bands. And rumors for Bruce are stronger atm I guess.

[pigital]

Could possibly be a possibility for TW Classic maybe? Neil Young & Springsteen on the same day? 

Just in case Coldplay wouldn't do TWC.

I can‘t see Nils Lofgren playing for 6 hours.

[Kusy]

guys, NY & Boss on a single date is 1 ticket sold.

NY & Boss on separate dates are 2 tix sold = more money (even with two productions).

Some rumours are saying Springsteen is touring solo next year. Would make sense.

In that case I do not see him as a festival option, but it could be because of the album Western Stars. I do hope he gathers The E-Street Band though..

[Kusy]

Springsteen is doing another album with E-Street. He will bring them

Opposite to what he was saying in interviews this year though.

AC/DC alone would get me there, fingers crossed.

[MK1]

It is very quiet on the AC/DC front........ Are they still expect to tour next year??

A user on Festileaks says that Mad Cool, Bospop and TW Classic will all cshare a headliner. As Bospop is a festival in the Netherlands with mostly older bands, I don't think that Coldplay fits this profile (capacity is also too small I suppose), which could mean that Coldplay won't play that fourth event at Werchter. This could increase the chance for Coldplay at RW, I fear. 

Off that list with names, I suppose that Glass Animals are nailed on as they still have to make up for their cancellation in 2017.

I think Bospop is too small compared to the other two.

Or maybe there is an act that is a Bospop Headliner, Sub at TW Classic and headlining the second stage at Mad Cool.

Someone else on Festileaks says there's no TW Classic in 2020. This year lots of people are saying they know things from the inside but clearly some of them are just talking shit.

That last one isn't claiming to be in the know though. He just took a look at the agreement about events on the Werchter site and concluded we've already reached the maximum. I cannot believe LN would drop their long running TWC event over 2 pop Boutiques though.

Edit: the news about a cancelled TW Classic is coming from a speculative news paper article.

Correct

[Boss89]

But stil... Have been reading lots of comments that are each others opposite the last 2 months. All from sources that "were right in the past" or "heard from someone" or such

[Scarnic]

Just heard the first track, Arabesque, from Coldplays forthcoming album. Fresh but familiar, got some Gorillaz vibe about it.

It has Stromae in it doing the French part. I think you can guarantee that Stromae will get out the office and drive up to do the live show if they play RW.

IF Stromae's back is good news

IF the rest of the album is that way it is good news

[Red Day]

Not sure if this is old but if not Werchter date isn't RW.
