Rock Werchter 2020

Why is it taking so long to announce from RW? It must be because I go the first time.
Last year by this time I already had many names released.

It depends, for the 2018 lineup, they started announcement in the 2nd part of november too, and had like 2-3 names released by this date.

Haven't they done 8am recent years?

They recently got the habit to male announcement on Fridays at 4pm.

Yeah but the earlier headliner announcements have been at 8am. This could change of course (hopefully)

[santowhir]

Without sounding old and repetitive these headliners are so meh, someone really needs to come in and shake things up.

I know, and I also liked 4PM better, but I don't think that was the fact for recent years. I also disliked last year's way of doing it with big batches, rather than 6-7 names every Friday. I hope they revert to the latter for this year (when they first start announcing).

I'm starting to wonder if they're really going to start announcing today at 4pm. They usually change their profile pic and cover on social medias a few days before. They still haven't changed anything yet.

Ken didn't confirm that something is coming today. He said it should come a few days ago but didn't say it was a sure thing 

[Jazebel]

The fact that he is back means that the wait is almost over. Next monday TW Classic, first. All the spotlights on TW Classic first.

Paul McCartney?

[Jazebel]

I know a bunch of confirmed artists, but hardly anything I should be sharing here, I'm afraid. Just that RW will be taking a little longer. Next week's focus is going to be elsewhere. ?

Whose focus? Rock Werchter's or ours?

So the spotlights will be on McCartney for TW Classic and first announcement for Dour, among others?

If the names are indeed as bland as Foos and PJ, they might as well wait until januari...

You don’t have to mention names of course, but are there some surprises on the horizon that will make the lineup less standard? The idea of FF, PJ and RHCP bores the hell out of me...

Dour has no influence on the first announcement. 

Next week is the spotlight on TW Classic. Monday announcement, friday start of the presale. No risk taking in the fact that some people don't buy their ticket for TWC because RW announces his headliners.

Yes, we know that bores you, isn't the first time you said this, or the third time... or the fifth...

On the otherhand I'm curious about the 'less standard' names too. A name not mentioned before would be great.

This and likely Graspop, with the Hellfest announcement incomming. 

[brightside23]

Are we actually looking at any announcements before January at this point? 

I remember they normally stop announcements around mid-December because of the holidays. And if the focus will be elsewhere for the next week or more that would leave about 2 weeks to announce headliners and the ticket sale. Seems pretty tight, given the silence so far.

PJ always drops the whole tour in one go early December. And I doubt RW would keep the ticket sale until January.

My guess is a bunch of big names in short notice during the first half of December.

'less standard'  - My Chemical Romance. For RW to stand out in europe
