Oh and if StuBru is correct we can write off AM too:

"It's your only chance to see them live in our country in the near future"

Today, during the StuBru Popcast, it was said that AM waits till the summer to come back to Belgium. So that makes RW the most plausible

Is this realistic of how stacked RW is or is it a bit extreme ?? That saturday headliner clash is brutal

[Floyd_Ams]

I don't know if this is gonna be a special event or a tour, if it will be in time for RW or whether they'll choose to place them in Graspop instead, but it looks like SOAD will be active next year. Watch this at 35:10 : 

 

 

[Archi]

This could mean a lot of things. But it could be also some special events... just for the US, like they did this year (SOAD + KoRn + Faith No More).

If I have to go through another AM close I'm gonna drink myself into an early grave.

 

However the rest I'd be totally on board for***

Gn'R - they play too long to fit in RW scheme (the last time they gave an artist 3 hours was 2014 - Pearl Jam - and they wasted 30 precious minutes of that time)

George Ezra is a Main Stage artist, that's for sure

My Chemical Romance will NEVER sub/headline Werchter - @Ken19 (where are You, btw?) stated this precicely more than once on this board)

Ghost serve perfect pop&metal balance - they're VERY big and NO WAY they'll play 4th down. Graspop is the place for them

Arctic Monkeys - destined to show up. New songs are just like the last ones - utterly boring, arena sized material for fans only 

QOTSA, Pulp & Halsey - YES please

Again? They have done Pukkelpop 2 months ago.

I can totally see AM doing Sportpaleis in may though...

[49Lawson]

Arctics announced European tour dates with not a Belgian date in sight. Nailed on even more than they were already

[lighthouse]

Muse and AM. 

Doesn't fill me with excitement...

They've just changed the entire layout of their website, so I guess the announcement is imminent?

Good spot, loving the new logo and theming. Just hope there’s a couple of nice surprises coming too

[Archi]

Yesterday was the deadline to send our wishlists. A first announcement today at 4pm? Or on Friday?

Rock Werchter changing their website

1+1+1= ? 

BTW @Ken19you still there? 😉 

[sisco]

So….  Can someone tell me the basics about RW.  Camping? Is it decent, are there glamping options or hotels etc.. close?.  How quickly does it sell out? 
 

was thinking of this as our Glasto back up but with Glasto tickets on sale Later this year no idea if I’d miss out on a ticket

I really hope RW's answer to that will be "4" and surprise us all 😂

Tickets don't sell out that fast, you can try for Glasto then buy these as a backup, that's probably what we're doing! The glamping stuff seems to be what goes faster.

There are camping / glamping options or you can stay in Leuven nearby, shuttle busses constantly back and forth, incredibly easy to get to from the UK.

The Hive resort and Rock Village are the best glamping options within a short walking distance from the entrance. The latter is not organised by RW it's ±15 mins walking (hence a bit more quiet after 3am if you are a light sleeper) and doesn't sell out immediately. The Hive resort is right next to the festivalpark, within ±5 mins walking distance and sells out very fast.

[BenG92]

My advice from my maiden voyage this year would be to bring earplugs for The Hive Resort if you don't wanna listen to the worst dance remixes humanly possible until 3am.

Camping next to the cheesy music in the Williams Green area at Glasto…. I feel your pain

We played a game called "how long until In The End remix" and it's never more than 30 minutes

I didn't know they played PP this summer. I thought AM were very dull both in 2018 and 2014....but you guys are probably right, unfortunately everything seems to be aligning up for AM playing RW23...I'm just gonna have to pray for a good alternative in the barn.

[BenG92]

Blink 182 reunion UK/EU tour supposedly announced tomorrow, very coincidental timing for RW to change their website.

Their set was boring as hell. First time seeing time... finally... very disappointed. If they close the day and there's not a good alternative in the Barn, I'll just go home earlier!
