Werchter never announces on weekends. Probably it will continue next week, not necessarily on Monday, but I doubt they will keep the Friday completely blank till next year. 

They prefer to announce something, but they don’t care if not. It happened before 

[Gossard]

If Gojira comes (would fit nicely on that Sunday with SOAD) I'm coming to RW again. They were by far the best band at Graspop this year!!!  Fuck Foo Fighters, The Strokes, Red Hot Chili Peppers or what ever their names are, give us GOJIRA!!!  

[polnico]

Any chances of Bombay Bicycle Club for this ? Gotta say I enjoyed their last 2 singles and I am excited for the album. They would fit perfectly for 4-5pm slot in the Barn of the Klub C.

Best selling act in the history of RW. On the most difficult day to sell out. Expect a nice line up that day. 

More tomorrow. 

Due to $, have to choose between PJ in Budapest or PJ at Werchter (a nice day lineup sounds great). Can we expect a cohead like Jack White in 2018 and thus a 2h set or a headline slot with a 3h set like in 2014? Will the Pixies clash again with PJ? Thank you!

Very big chance. In the past they played 2 times already, and toothless, all the same agent.

Thursday is the most difficult day to sell out. Expect a nice line up that day. But I can not promise a cohead. 
I expect pixies on the main stage this time, 2h set for pearl jam.

2h PJ set is probably correct, but 3,5h would be much more appreciated ?

You heard anything about Gojira @Ken19??

@Ken19 @Kusy Do you know what the crack is with The Strokes, was that poster HAIM posted real but they are waiting to announce them or? Looks like they can do Mad Cool, Werchter etc. so are the festivals waiting for permission or have the band pulled out?

I thought somebody suggested in another thread they may not announce anything before their big NYE show in NYC.

They do seem to be a very hard lot to get advance hints on.

Don’t see any reason as to why Foals wouldn’t play Werchter, that week looks wide open for them!

No Belgium date on the tour either.

[lightsnowpatrol]

I'm still hoping for some of the following:- Strokes, KIngs of Leon, Rhcp, Tame Impala, Vampire Weekend, Liam Gallagher, Foals, Frank Carter. Hope I get some of them

[polnico]

With SOAD confirmed and Gojira looking more than likely, do we think we're basically done with metal bands ? I am hoping for Architects to fill the Parkway Drive spot of last year, bust haven't seen anything about them touring next summer yet. Any other ideas for Hard Rock/Metal bands ?

so i'm guessing that the chances of RHCP playing are extremely low by now?

I guess they’d have to play Friday 3rd July, their first date in Europe is a month before and their closest listed date is Jun 20th in Lyon.
 

So it just depends on whether they’d stick around for that long!

A couple weeks ago they would play RW. But I don’t know how the situation is right now.

That seems more like a they were a possibility but now can't which would make sense 

[Hullabaloo92]

In previous years  when we had multiple announcements in one week, they were on tuesday and friday, can we expect the same for next week before holiday season?

e.g. Foo Fighters for Friday and Kings of Leon for Sunday?

[lightsnowpatrol]

I would like to think we will get one or a few more this week because after that it will be 5/6 weeks

Fine by me. I can watch SOAD then go to the barn to finish the festival in the company of Thom York.
