Nothing this morning but a couple of people asked about announcements on their latest Tweet, their response was "Working on it!". 

I think it's quite obvious now that they will announce The Strokes this afternoon // evening. The only question left is when they will play. Will they close down the festival on Sunday or will they play on Friday? The first option seems the most likely one to me.

No idea where you've got that idea from, "working on it" sounds like an announcement is still a while away to me, not this afternoon.

Or that the strokes are obvious.

They have added friday to the line up, so maybe an announcement is imminent.

Nos Alive will announce their name today at 5pm.  (Hours from Portugal)

Can't they just get over with it and stop with the useless hype, what does that even mean

Pretty obvious it's a clock pointing at 6pm, same hour as the Best Kept Secret and NOS Alive announcements. Posted at 12:51.

We're getting The Strokes tonight. And I'm getting my tickets this week.

[unodosseb]

If it is The Strokes, I’ll be buying my ticket at 6pm

[BenG92]

Oh thank god, this wait's been killing me.

How come everyone's saying The Strokes? Any solid info or just a firm prediction?

[Verminkt]

The Strokes. Dream come true. Bkught my BKS ticket straight away and will add a Werchter ticket asap. This line-up is going to be so epic.

If you are (or anyone else) planning to buy a combi ticket, hit me up with a PM. Because I've signed up for RW ambassador I can give you €8 off your ticket or €5 off a day ticket. It will also help me because I am collecting the points to buy a backstage tour to see how things work there for my current study in event management!

Furthermore, I really like that The Strokes are coming (at least pretty sure about it). I am wondering which day they will be playing but I guess it will be the Friday.

There will be 3 or 4 of us getting combi tickets, any discount appreciated 😁

Of course we're all waiting for the Strokes, but Ellie Goulding has just been ruled out (Boutique). I think they need a female headliner or big name, or they might get backlash (I think so not sure). So who's still in for this spot ? London Grammar, Lana ? Any other ideas ?

On Festileaks Gwen Stefani is often mentioned as a Barn headliner, similar to Kylie Minogue last year.

The XX? If they tour off course ...

Certainly looking at other majors in Europe, it would be a shame if they didn't have a female headliner (they don't even have a female name for the moment!)

I don't think they need one (2017 certainly didn't) but Lana would be a good shout, her last album was easily her best and one of the best albums period in 2019.

Lana is also playing the same day as the Strokes for Prima - so it figures she'd be on the bill

My only doubt with her is that she's back in the US after Primavera though (Bonnaroo), otherwise I think it'd had been a certainty.
