Real possibility of Foals this year now they will release part 2 of the new CD in October. Also new music from Sam Smith will get him a slot in the Barn. Long shot- Sam Fender.

 

You can forget about Sam Smith in The Barn, if he comes - and I think there is a very big chance (it will either be RW or PKP) - it will be as co-headliner. He sold out Belgian's biggest venue (20k) quite fast and already headlined some festivals like Lollapalooza. 

Sam Fender gets a lot of airplay in Belgium, so he's definitely a possibility.

Isn't he a headliner at this point tho? Though I doubt he'd do a festival run, the last time he was at Werchter was 2014 and he wasn't even near as huge as he is rn.

Cuffe and Taylor, gig promoters, were reacting to this year's programme at Scarborough and have left us this gem.

"Peter says it's been an innovative season at the theatre, with Biffy Clyro performing a gig that was in effect a warm up for their European tour."

This thursday Editors will announce their new album. The sportpaleis show will be announced thursday or next week normally.

Until now, no indication they will play werchter. RW is looking for better options. That can change off course.

Maybe Pukkelpop for them?

Same story, they are also not really waiting for them. 

But sometimes there is no other option. Lokerse Feesten seems perfect for them.

Editors nailed on with there summer plans.

The cards are looking good for some acts who are very high on their wishlist for years, and have never made it... until now? It’s still very early, a lot can go wrong, but the vibe is good ;-).

Is this it, finally? I hope so.

The Strokes then?

[visdave34]

Bon Iver also springs to mind, they somehow also missed out on a couple occasions...

[Nomen]

A reunion of Supergrass is coming up, and they'll probably play Glastonbury. Will we see them at Werchter as well?

I don't think so. A lot will depend on how their AB show will sell. But i think they are more suitable for Lokerse Feesten, Rock Zottegem... They were never that popular in Belgium.

Last year the first week of October, and it's usually 3 weeks before the start of the ticket sales.

They started announcing a few acts (p!nk/the cure/mumfords and sons) in October for RW19 but the lineup wasn't fully complete until March. They tend to stagger the announcements throughout the year. 

[Ken19]

They only start announcing when they can announce each week.

Some bands I'd really like to see at Werchter, but I didn't hear of any plans for touring Europe next summer for most of them. So either you have a lot of inside info, or this is even less than just rumours.

Then I'm a happy man   Lots of Graspop names as well, but hopefully some of them find their way to Werchter, or to some clubs in The Netherlands.

Struggling to believe this. Spiritualized and Primal Scream already did summer festivals this year; can't see why they'd do it again tbh. Although it is the former's 30th anniversary next year, so perhaps they'll be doing shows for that? Who knows...

Well, they can sit at home drinking or earn money playing gigs

[Karlos12345]

Foo Fighters again?

I assume Tool and The Black Keys are around in spring? Or off the table for 2020?

EDIT: Those „maybes“ are all great. And Faith No More is a nice little info.

This time of the year a lot of bands are announcing their availability for next summer. But that doesn’t necessary mean that they will tour.

Wow Faint no more, is that confirmed? 

Would be great?
