Rock Werchter 2023

Little Simz should 100% be a barn... head? I don't know in Belgium. She should be in there though.

Wu Tang, as much as I love them, it's usually russian roulette on how many you actually get / how good any one of them is at a given time. Their solo shows they almost always show up late and wasted.

The first 10mins of Simz's show at Pkp were great, but the tent was rather empty. Maybe if filled up afterwards though. Barn head seems like a bit much imo, maybe one spot below or Klub C head ?

 

She also would be a very nice Core Festival name, if it takes place in 2023.

Just saying...

I know there’s normally a bit of crossover, but Robbie Williams has been announced for Pinkpop and not here so hopefully we’ve dodged that one. 

I know I’m in the minority but I would welcome Editors back with open arms

I’ve resigned myself to all the Pulp shows being UK based. I do think the reason we didn’t get anything this morning is because they’re possibly going to announce 5/6 medium-sub sized bands at 3pm before the ticket sales. Hoping for a mix of Editors, Placebo, Franz Ferdinand in amongst it. (This is of course just a hunch I have, it’s definitely more likely that we just aren’t getting anything but announcement fever seems to be in full flow today)

Some definite scope for some European dates actually for Pulp, and Jarvis said “so far” on the tour announcements. Stick them in the Barn opposite Stromae and suddenly it’s a very appealing prospect to travel for…

Sam Fender doing the rounds again, him and Pulp would certainly make my weekend. He owes us a show after all.

Absolutely not... I need them both in that case 😉

Against Muse please.

I wish Ken were here to tell us if he’s playing in a tent or if he’s closing the main stage

The Dutch press release says he's closing the Barn.

Ah! 🙂

[Ohad]

After headlining PKP and LL, do you think oscar and the wolf is a possibility for RW23?

[polnico]

Fred as a Barn headliner playing at the same time as Muse sounds perfect to me.

Getting his own announcement and a headline barn slot seems crazy to me 

[Nicklord]

Last year they announced Maneskin only one day and they were like 5th down on main stage

I’d prefer him against AM tbh. I’m ok with seeing Muse if there is nothing better going on but AM not so much…

Headline Barn slot doesn't seem so far fetched, plus it's the Barn "closing spot". Last year, Moderat also were Barn headliners, and Alt-J played before. So we could clearly still get another big Barn name on the saturday (The Smile?)

His show in Brussels next month is soldout (Ancienne Belgique - 2000p) and his slot at Pukkelpop this Summer was around 5pm in the Dance Hall. Seems a bit small for a Barn headliner! Moderat are playing 3 soldout shows in the same venue this week and Alt-J are playing in bigger venues in Belgium.

His show in Ancienne Belgique sold out in 2 minutes and 5000 people are looking for a ticket on Ticketswap. And the Dance Hall at Pukkelpop was way too small for the number of people that wanted to see him.

Fred Again.. also sold out the 5.5K capacity AFAS Live in The Netherlands, dude has become massive.
