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

Blink-182 with Tom DeLonge wouldn't be too bad as a late afternoon act....

Haha,imagine Blink playing RW in 2023 after their horrible show in 2017. 😅

In any case, Blink is not a headliner, so RW will never start with announcing them. Think this is more interesting for the South American Lollapalooza's which will announce their line-up on Tuesday.

They're a co-head with Tom back maybe? Just seeing if this guy has the Sep/Oct Europe dates as I'm guessing a stadium show in Belgium would write them off for Werchter.

They played 4th down in 2012, with Tom. So there's no way they'd (co)headline now.

They played third down without him in 2017 below SOAD/Linkin Park co-head (what an insane day). Maybe that 6 year absence and constant "what if" is enough.

I'd be quite happy if they played AND we got headliners on top of them, though!

5/9/23 - 3Arena, Dublin, Ireland

( europe in between )

14/10/23 - Utilita Arena Birmingham, Birmingham, England

15/10/23 - Manchester Arena, Manchester, England

 

But nothing for EU yet, asked him.

They are in Canada/US at that time, and they will play in Belgium later, of course if rumours are true

Ah cool, fair enough! They play our nearest city on my partner's Birthday so probably catch them then

It looks like announcement is coming really really soon because they’ve deleted everything from instagram

Nothing in London is a bit surprising.

Yes. All of them saying the top 6 are:

Drake - Billie Eilish - Blink 182

SZA - Lil Nas X - Tame Impala

 

Expecting a better undercard...

Cheers - that is quite a stacked (expensive) six headliners!

[BenG92]

Think Drake is toss but regardless that's an insane lineup if true, the sort of thing Leeds and Reading should be shooting for if they can.

Would love to have a pop-punk vibe Main Stage with acts like Blink, MGK, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Olivia Rodrigo...

Is anybody listening to the Arctic Monkeys show on StuBru tonight? Maybe they'll announce for Werchter...

Not if they play Reading. Which fits their schedule perfectly.

True, but given names we have or think we have I don't think there is a place for them.

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

Quite something tbf given they're playing Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris but not Belgium. Though wouldn't be surprised if, as said above, it comes out after tonight's Brussels theatre show that they could be returning for this.

They havent said anything about a possible Belgian show. 

Maybe they said something in the interview with Michele Cuvelier, but for that we have to wait till Wednesday.
