Rock Werchter 2020

[BenG92]

T-minus 15 minutes (probably)! Give me London Grammar, Charli XCX, Lana Del Rey or FKA Twigs.

I have a nasty suspicion we might just get all Belgian names today (which I am just completely unfamiliar with) - with any luck it'll be some medium to big names mentioned earlier in the Thread eg. IDLES

Based on their last 2 years of announcements we still have a chunk of international names to come first, and some medium-big ones at that! Hopefully we're about to find out!

Nothing to change my mind 

[neacaisa]

Another Friday. Another load of new names for Rock Werchter. This week’s confirmations are very exciting. And very adventurous too. An overview: Rex Orange County, Miles Kane, Fontaines D.C. and Banks will come to the Festivalpark on Thursday 2 July. The new names for Friday 3 July are Loyle Carner, Jake Bugg, Parcels and girl in red. Agnes Obel, Alec Benjamin, Phoebe Bridgers and Cavetown have been added to the line-up for Saturday 4 July. LP, Richard Hawley, GoGo Penguin and Jehnny Beth join the bill for Sunday 5 July. The count has now reached 55 acts. More names to follow next week. Stay tuned.

 

nothing exciting for me personally

No Gojira? mmmkaay

[ParanoidTourist]

Bunch of good names I Think😊. My favourites are Fontaines D.C., Miles Kane and Richard Hawley

[RUMINE]

[frontsidecab]

Rex, Fontaines, Parcels, Bridgers and Loyle Carner for me!

[RUMINE]

REX, MILES KANE, FONTAINES, LOYLE CARNER, JAKE BUGG 

Great announcement for me, Miles for a second year in a row is a bit odd though. I need to listen to LP and Jenny Beth as well I think

[MrTobs]

Rex Orange County, Fontaines D.C., girl in red, Phoebe Bridgers and Cavetown are great additions

[polnico]

So main is now (probably) full for Thursday and Sunday. Clearly 2-3 more names for Friday, and not sure about Saturday. Starting to really wonder if we'll have Gojira and Idles still hopeful though. So happy about Loyle and Fontaines however. There's gonna be so many clashes though.

Looking at the line up now in my opinion it looks so bland overall, lots of repeat bookings and not many inspired choices except strokes , and Kendrick Lamar  

[RUMINE]

I'm still holding out for any/all of Foals, IDLES, Vampire Weekend and Tame Impala to come

Best announcement so far I think, very happy with Rex, Fontaines, Miles Kane and Jake Bugg.

i think livenation is still not sure if graspop gets the repeat booking of gojira to spice up their friday or if werchter gets the unexpected choice of gojira to spice up their friday.

[AAlex]

Line ups looking half tempting now but I would agree on repeat bookings, I only went in 2017/2018 and there's already 6 on my list I've already seen at Rock Werchter, including two headliners. Friday and Saturday have enough there for me already but that's mainly down to that not being the two recent headliners, was hoping to see some more added for Sunday but given they now have 7 main stage and 5 barn acts booked there can't be much more to come.

I can see how it might look bland to people who go to Werchter a lot, but for my first international festival this thing is insane compared to what the UK gets! Pearl Jam / Kendrick / Strokes / SOAD alone in one festival is mental! 

[W92]

@Ken19 @Jezabel any hopes that there will be a couple of big  names coming like foals, vampire weekend, idles, editors or tame impala?

Definitely agree man, I've been to NOS alive 15, 16 and 18, werchter 17 and 19. Watching bands like blur, rolling stones , Coldplay aswell separately maybe seen majority I wanna. I was just hoping for like rhcp , tame impala , foals, vampire weekend etc the latter 3 possibly being missing again not being at werchter for a whole is shocking tbh

Doesn't look like one of those will be there.

Editors and Tame Impala were obvious but no foals and IDLES especially is a big shock.

You know if Tame Impala will be in Europe this summer at all?
