In terms of female artists...Dido has a perfectly fitting Werchter gap in her schedule. Would love to have her in The Barn during Kendrick if FNM are not Barn headliners.

Normally Kendrick will start when the last Barn act has finished.

Nando’s is South African I think....second biggest export after billtong! Guess it never took off in countries where they already have decent local cuisine 😝

It is indeed South African, based on a Mozambique chili pepper. I assumed as some argue peri-peri/piri-piri chicken has a Portuguese influence that they at least might have one. That and I've seen Five Guys in Paris & Barcelona (though I'm aware its a US chain), and assumed others I can get in the UK would be out there as well.

… though point taken. 😝

Gap in the tour schedule for Sam Fender, who is big in both UK and Belgium.

Would also like to see Inhaler at RW as well as The Sherlocks. Also have gaps to fill with their presence.

I believe Foals will be at RW and do the main stage around 6pm. I think RW held off getting them last year as they wanted them once with the 2 albums rather than two years in a row.

They do an announcement for Belgian acts every year.

My bad, thought I was in the Mad Cool Forum... of course there will be Belgian bands in Belgium.

is there a correlation between primavera and werchter that not many bands play at both? because id have thought that spain is quite close and thus a decent option to be playing at both festivals

Nope, wrong forum. Sorry..

I guess the only way she could play is if she's klub c headliner on Thursday?

Edit: Would mean she plays four days in a row, I highly doubt she'll be there.

Edit: and apparently Jazabel has also said so I think we can rule that one out completely

If she won't be @ Werchter, I can definitely see her taking a sub or headliner Marquee spot @ PKP. She will be touring than as well.

They co-headlined in 2004 and 2009. I'm pretty sure they won't in 2020, but where do you expect them to play? Main stage before or between SOAD and Volbeat? Or in the barn before Thom Yorke?

 Haha, good job Placebo. Great addition though, happy!

Volbeat > Placebo > SOAD is my bet, yeah.

[ArM]

I would not be suprised to see them end of the afternoon (before Volbeat and SOAD) but then again there is SUM 41 which could also fill that gap. 

The barn before Yorke could probably work also

They'd be before Volbeat for sure. Volbeat is bigger now for sure and they're a better fit even

[Oleksii]

comparing to the previous year

Weezer -> BMTH -> The Cure -> Tool

I'd say this year will be

Sum41 -> Placebo -> Volbeat -> SOAD

But yeah, we'll see

[pigital]

Even though the sunday has great & solid names, I am a bit bummed out that they make Sunday the harder day. Feels a bit off to closing a mainstream festival with a harder day. I would've preferred someone that touched a larger type of audience. 

 

But I'll take it none the less! 

[ParanoidTourist]

Sunday is now my biggest reason for going:)

Will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow

[lightsnowpatrol]

Spoilt enough on this forum as it is but would @Jazebel or @Ken19 like to give any hints for names tomorrow like old times, always loved the letter they began with game 

[tmolvik]

Hallelujah!
