Springsteen would definitely get me back out to Belgium...

Post from Leeds/Reading topic

I'm curious what that'll bring in Belgium, as they apparently aren't even big enough to carry a RW day on their own anymore. And it's not like Fall Out Boy/Weezer will seal the deal neither.

They are playing sportpaleis. Announcement tomorrow 

[Hullabaloo92]

For those of you who are expecting that Billie Eilish could play in The Barn if she was booked:

I saw her on saturday at Lollapalooza and the whole infield was SO crowded, I can't see her anything but playing a top spot on the main stage ....the hype is so real

@Ken19 do you actually know if some headliners cancelled Lolla Berlin the last two years? I got a feeling that Kraftwerk 3D and Kings of Leon weren't their first choice....

So this probably means that Bon Iver is ruled out from some festivals

I'd say, it makes him likelier than not tbh.

Both Florence + the machine and Bastille were also doing Sportpaleis in March last year and still played RW. Don't think they are ruled out, depending on how the show will sell.. 

[EV123]

I think this makes Bon Iver - unfortunately - less likely now and more likely for Pukkelpop. 

Another beautiful name announced today for a show this winter is FKA Twigs. She should take a high spot in the Barn!

So here's the Green Day tour. Likely at Rock Im Park, Werchter possible but looks like they might be on a plane home by then.

Can anyone guess which festivals they will be at based on this?

No festivals

[Steve.]

You sure. You don’t think they’ll plug this gap with a festival or two?

[BlackFoxx]

Definitely a gap the weekend of Rock Im Park/Rock Am Ring, but not sure if the Berlin date would rule them out or if there is sufficient demand they could do all three. Could also do Nova Rock the next weekend that would fit that schedule too between Italy and France.

It’s legit

Thought Aerosmith were done. Good news if it's true.

its being promoted as a German exclusive (assuming Google is translating properly) so I dont know what they will do over that weekend:

"Am 03. Juni 2020 spielen Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt und Tré Cool in der Berliner Wuhlheide ihre einzige exklusive Deutschlandshow."

I guess Rock am Ring, Rock im Park and Greenfield are nailed.

@RonanM Berlin is stated as their only german open air headline show, so festival shows are not included and they are free during the Rock am Ring weekend.

Don’t rule Bonny out

Bon Iver with Tame Impala closing the day, yes please!

Tame Impala is big enough to play co for a band like pearl jam. Not big enough to play in a co-headline combo.

[arcuse]

Yeah, but Tame Impala needs their visuals/lasers and Jack White didn't as much. They always are gonna have to close a day because that sunset slot from 9 pm and on isn't gonna work for them at all unless a band like Pearl Jam is okay with them not closing the stage like The Cure was okay with Tool closing it this year.

Mad Cool 2018: Tame Impala played before Pearl Jam.

[Ken19]

Tame impala before pearl jam was just an example.

Werchter is trying to put a band on the right spot, if the agent is ok with it. So it can happen that a smaller act plays after a bigger act. But not Every agent is ok with that.

At Mad Cool practically every (bigger) band can play in the dark, as it starts and ends much later than Belgian festivals.

I was in that concert and first 20 or 25 minutes they didnt play in the dark.
