Check out their latest album. Especially Chlorine, Neon Gravestones, Jumpsuit, Bandito. They are definitely a decent band. 

To me their latest is their shittiest. Like their first 2 albums though.

Daniel, you are welcome to join the RW family.

In tents is perfect. Both rental and bringing your own.

Good facilities on site. Connections to the main cities is free in Belgium (bus and train) before,during and after the festival. Best of all Belgian beer and frites.

The Hive Resort is pretty great. You get your tent set up before you arrive and the tents are bigger than what I expected + they include air beds. In the area you get a nice breakfast place/bar, showers, clean toilets, lockers, sockets etc. I would definitely recommend it especially if you are trying to avoid carrying a tent to the festival. 

Thanks @Scarnic and @brightside23

I'm going to The Hive Resort.
Are there buses from Brussels airports?

You out there have no foresight when leaving names and tickets?

Take the train until Leuven and then there are shuttle buses to the festival site. Very easy and convenient.

The train is also free ticket the festival ticket. You have to get the train ticket online though there's a process, easy to do, then print it out and show it on the train.

Don't count on it.1 november is a holiday in Belgium just as 11 november and for some people also 15 november. That's why I think they won't announce anything before then as they don't announce on holidays (and wishlist deadline is only the 17th).

All right. Hoping for something grand! The strokes! The national or metal bands like AC/DC or iron maiden!

Some rumours of My Chemical Romance following their reunion. What sized slot would they get at Werchter?

They had a 2pm Main Stage slot last time they played Belgium (2011), same year they headlined L+R. I'd say afternoon Main Stage if the reunion catches some buzz.

Real difference in popularity to back home in the UK then, would be a nice addition further down the bill for sure.

[Matt42]

Yeah I heard they are playing. Not in a headlining slot. Probably won’t be announced until Coachella announces their festival return first.

I can imagine them being part of a (latter) 'friday names package'.

[BlackFoxx]

Rage Against the Machine apparently back and all (turning into one hell of a week!), also rumoured for Coachella. Any chance they come over here afterwards too, and if so, where?

Kusy said few weeks ago that Prophets of Rage will play on hellfest, exit, graspop...

 

question is: is this a real of a fake account? For now, I assume the latter

[BlackFoxx]

Supposedly followed by Juliette Lewis who is in a relationship with Brad Wilk, the drummer. Maybe a wait and see how legit it is but could be huge news if its true.

[Kusy]

yep, heard from the best possible source about PoR at euro-metalfest. 

 

[BlackFoxx]

Complete fantasy dreamland at this point but would love something like...

Tame Impala / The Strokes / Foals / My Chemical Romance

Rage Against the Machine / System of a Down / Royal Blood / Idles

Pearl Jam / The National / Pixies / Biffy Clyro

Bon Iver / Coldplay / Lana Del Rey / Vampire Weekend

This would also be great obviously, but I would prefer SOAD and Coldplay over Foos and Volbeat.

It could still be both  RATM those 5 shows and that's it. They had weird tours during the reunion too

@Ken19 so who's gonna tour in summer? RATM or POR? 

I only have info about POR. The RATM news is new for me. But maybe the 3 can stay in Europe and Zack can join them after the GraSpop weekend.

I don’t think that, If they tour in Europe, it will be before the Hellfest weekend. Otherwise Download and Rar would have them.

As I said before, I know a little, not the big parts.

Tickets would need to be 300 euro to cover this. And I'd pay it!

So, basically...if RATM in  EU even happens, it happens late June-early July? 

RATM, Coldplay, The Strokes and PJ would be my dream line-up. Too good to be true. But one can have hope
