Rock Werchter 2020

[Muppetmark]

Crowded house ruled out - Werchter classic. (though they put RW on their site)

[Ken19]

Normally no announcement today. Wednesday, Friday?

[Altercreed]

Considering the Foo's only have 3 european shows at this point ( Nova rock 12/06, I-days 14/06 and Rock in Lisboa 21/06 ), they musy have some others booked... why bother comin' in Europe for only 3 shows ? So RW seems likely ^^ plus, they weren't in Belgium last year I think..

[Ken19]

The last couple of years the tours from Foo Fighters are not that logic anymore.

Hopefully means no foos tbh they usual announce all their shows around the same time why would they delay some

Well if it's just festivals it's usually up to the festival to announce. But yeah, last year they only did a handful of shows as well, but I definitely expect them on RW. They seems to be moving some stuff around, perhaps also between RW and Graspop, so at this point its kinda hard to say when the next announcement will be.

Yeah I guess so, in that case you would imagine foos before ticket sales but who knows 

[Daniel Ferreira]

FNM in Graspop is a sign that will not RW right?

There's a one month gap from mid-tune to mid-july in Tame Impala's US tour. Praying right now, but not sure at all it makes them likely, especially since they're in EU before the tour. Maybe a big arena show in  early may then ?

Last US date before the gap is in Orlando so being on the East coast would make it easier to go to Europe for those festivals and come back 

[Ken19]

Hopefully it is european festivaltime then.

Man, I'd love to have tame impala play during the dark, would be awesome. I'd take them rhcp and kings of Leon for the last head slots

Any chance at all of Faith No More doing RW as well? Or GnR if available?

I mean, I'm assuming the focus for the remaining headliners is/was the Strokes, RHCP and Tame Impala, but just checking if Ken has any cool stories to share. ?

Off course no FNM

[Judithmt]

Hoping for SONS and their entire 'in our van' Spotify list.

Ideally, Tame would perform after Kendrick Lamar. Fits really well together I think although musically being completely different, its attracts the same typemof public. Dream combination for me at least. Seems to small to top the bill on friday but would still be well deserved. Strokes on friday with Tame Impala would be great too.

 

I do think however RHCP/Foo's/KoL will definetly be the friday headliner. If I could pick it would be KoL, its been quiet a while now.

That would be amazing but I think Kendrick Lamar will demand to close the mainstage. It's on a saturday so I think if that day has Kendrick, Twenty One Pilots and a decent sized sub, ticket sales will be fine.

My prediction/wishlist:
Thursday: Royal Blood - Pearl Jam
Friday: Tame Impala - The Strokes
Saturday: Alt-J/Anderson .Paak - Twenty One Pilots - Kendrick Lamar
Sunday: SOAD - Foo Fighters

That Friday is all I need. It’ll have me buying tickets in a heartbeat.

My lawd, that friday would be heavenly.

Probably no Tame Impale for RW 2020, Although there is a gap between June 12th and July 17th... But it seems they do a concert tour instead of a festival tour.

Given they are coming to Europe in May (London - All Points East) I'm guessing Tame Impala can be all but ruled out for now.

Band logic, you can in this case read between the lines: festivals. Otherwise they would tour one period without a gap. Examples enough.

I was so underwhelmed by the announcements so far but this sorta speculation, and the evidence that supports it so far has suddenly made me a lot more excited. Even swapping foos with, RHCP as Ken said they were in talks, would make this look so good. Plus Idles and an equally exciting undercard, this could actually be an amazing year.

Yeah, this North American tour and the RW sized hole in them and they're doing All Points East shows they're in Europe which means that despite them 'focusing' on arenas as Ken said previously, Werchter could be an exception! Them plus the strokes Cohead and an undercard with Glass Animals (also playing APE) the Friday has the potential to be unreal. I feel like Strokes/Tame have a nice overlap in fans (me included) so they could curate a decent day around similar bands and some nice alternatives in Barn.

"Hopefully it is european festivaltime then."

Tame Impala are doing UK festival in late May...
Maybe there is european arena tour right before it?
