in the presence of some of worlds greats. Seems to indicate that MCR are gonna be one of the bigger names if they come

Well it looks like it's random, Snarky Puppy definitely isn't the biggest name there

It's several headline shows from June to August and the acts on the poster are in chronological order, that's why the MCR-gig will probably be between 01.07 (Melissa Etheridge) and 09.07 (Sting), if the poster is legit.

MCR's comeback gig is tonight, so I'm expecting world tour news tomorrow.

Maybe, although the insider in the german forum said that the plan was to release the poster early Jan (I guess after Coachella).

NME are reporting NIN have said they will be touring next year.....

Yeah if it is the case they've been tapped up to do Coachella, that might well be the gateway to any further US/European shows. Though I wonder if they'd do it all at once or just wait until after the Coachella tickets go on sale.

Too late! 😞

2021 already looks promising though, with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Black Keys, Nine Inch Nails and The War On Drugs as contenders. 😉

Don't forget RATM !

I swear in previous years that some big shows or festival headline shows have been announced in the final full week before Christmas. But obviously not this time around.

Oh well. Keeps the rumour mill ticking over into 2020.

[The_Preach]

Coachella's headliners for 2020 are Travis Scott, Rage Against The Machine and Frank Ocean!

[heti]

Only one out of three is for me. Still good statistics when it comes to Chella standards  (IMO of course)

[Verminkt]

Frank Ocean probably won't come to Werchter but I wish he would. He is an amazing artist. Blonde was the best album of the 2010's in my opinion.

[Blaxey]

I saw this morning that the group “Daughter” is going to be at two european festivals in August. Is it a possibility? 

[Matt42]

I’m pretty confident MCR are playing this and Mad Cool. Where do you think MCR could be squeezed in?

Theres a part of me which thinks that MCR are one of Mad Cool’s remaining coheadliners so I don’t know how large of a slot that means Rock Werchter will get?

[Nicklord]

Bellow headliner(s), like Greta Van Fleet, Bastille, BMTH or Macklemore this year is my guess

[RarerThanDandyB]

Faith No More and Kendrick better not clash.

I think they’ll both play the main stage. FNM - TOP - Kendrick

Triple headliners!

[RarerThanDandyB]

Also do we reckon Thom Yorke will clash with System or will Thom play early hours? 

[Jochen]

In my opinion, Thom will play Barn (late evening) for sure. Not certain if he will clash with SOAD, as I expect a second headliner on main stage that day.

I guess Frank Ocean will cancel Coachella anyway

I think Thom will probably close the Barn (as he'll probably demand 75-90min). SOAD will play second-to-last on the main, so there might be some overlap. 

A lot of 'ifs' though, haha.

(I'll be at Thom btw, no way in hell I'm going to miss that show.)

[ParanoidTourist]

I really want to see both System and Thom so hoping they won't clash too much.

So no MCR for Coachella, has it got repercussion for europeans festivals?

I said in mad cool but I heard they were doing Coachella the day before their reunion. Consequence of sound confirmed them for Coachella yesterday.

Something has happened. There’s a part of me which wonders whether their absence of dates and the missing mad cool headliner is connected. I wonder if they had a plan to play all these festivals and something changed after their reunion show?

They were deffo in line for Coachella. It wasn’t just me saying they were doing it. There were plentiful sources and their reunion show was promoted by Goldenvoice (Coachella promoters). I wonder if something has changed, maybe there was something with the reunion show they didn’t like. They’ve been silent since.
