Rock Werchter 2020

[Death By Sexy]

Really can't see TOP as a headliner. Not even as a sub.

Yeah absolutely no chance they're not headlining, they wouldn't be playing otherwise.

We'll have the same for 21P and the other co-headliner I guess.

December 2nd: AGAIN with the Pearl Jam? Give us a new headliner!
December 3rd: WAAH WAAH WAAH that's not a real headliner.

 

Called it. ? Thanks for proving my point, everyone.

So I've noticed, much like the people who think some of the biggest artists in the world right now like Post Malone are sub/third down at Werchter. I don't like TOP either but they can headline any festival. I hope they play under Foos, same as Sziget last year.

[Jazebel]

Co-heads.

[heti]

I don't like them but they're selling tickets so it's obvious they'll co-head. With FF, KL & SOAD nearly certain I'm still hoping for one BIG surprise

[Padjeq]

Pearl Jam and Twenty One Pilots I like enough of and haven't seen before. Looking forward to my first Rock Werchter.

to be honest, post malone was playing early in the barn in 2018 and he was already huge.

werchter pulls surprises like this sometimes, but i don't think this is the case for TOP

Not 8AM like previous years, not 11AM like yesterday, so headliner 2 at 4PM today? 

thanks thanks  

I expect a lot more strong names this week.
I need more reasons to buy the ticket, is that for me it is not cheap to go there, in total at least is € 600 with flight, ticket, overnight, food ...

Didn't they plan to be more interesting than Mad Cool, lineup wise, by the end of the week?

 

[RaphPH]

If Strokes are playing Mad Cool etc I would have assumed shoe-in for this...

He did at all festivals that summer though, fifth down mainstage at Reading and he had the largest crowd of the weekend, only crowd I've ever seen bigger than his there was Eminems. It's just he committed to those shows before he blew up, same with Lizzo and Lewis Capaldi (atleast in the UK) this year. 

Edit: Same with Billie Ellish this year as well.

[Phantom_Zone]

hmm...I'm going to be a miserable bar steward and say meeehhhh so far

Pearl Jam were ok last year but nothing special...This will be my 5th year in a row so if its just a recycle year maybe I take it off

Tame impala, editors, foals, death cab for cutie, Robert plant, Haim, Hinds, rage against the machine, damien rice.

The National announced first dates in June in Europe. So it could be possible, but I  doubt it.

21P is an expected co-headliner. I just hope they won't close down, so that there will be an alternative in the Barn. 21P - Kendrick seems like a nice combination to attract the younger audience on Saturday.

RATM is not very likely , I heard countless times tat 2021 is much more probable since 2020 is full on election season and they'd want to be in the US then

Be more optimistic.
