Rock Werchter 2023

[Floyd_Ams]

Ghost would fit quite well in RW if they want to give a high spot to a band playing “metal for the masses” that hasn’t been around much. Not many of those available at the moment. They’ll probably be at Graspop too though.

Booking Soen would be awesome but again…Graspop!

The Prodigy will be playing 3 nights in Dublin 28th-30th June so not looking good 😞

Perfect for Lokerse Feesten.

Yup! Which makes Sunday the only possible day for them in RW and I don't see them playing 3rd down before AM and QOTSA. They would make a perfect festival closer though with the difficult task to wake everybody up after AM 😂.

Can't think of a better act for the job though. Two of my most brutal moshpits were Prodigy. Absolute madness.

They're welcome in the Barn though ! (not sure if I'll make it out alive, but worth it)

Hehe...Great memories from that RW night in 2015 with them on the main stage. We had the brilliant (?) idea to go to the front and I remember thinking "I'm loving this but...am I getting too old for this shit?" (and no I wasn't that old).

I think they are too big for the Barn. And if they were to play against AM it would be packed as hell!

Jaysus id love if Yellowcard upped sticks and made an appearance but I'd genuinely have a better chance of seeing a UFO in my bathroom.

They're in the UK for Slam Dunk in August so they're not against coming overseas next year! Rock Werchter though... probably not 😅

My hopes were thin with the Graspop announcement earlier today, but looks like a few more days of waiting are upon us. Really hoping for a nice name or packet by next Friday !

Tomorrow is a bank holiday in Belgium, so I don't expect anything, but I'll be happy if they prove me wrong ofc !

Hmmm...Ok then! I had hopes for tomorrow since there's been radio silence in their social media for way too long.

Peter Gabriel is back...

Unlikely as there is already a Belgium date on his tour, but you never know. 
 

Hopeful we get a batch of names today, after The Lumineers self confirmed on Monday I imagine they want to get something official out about that

It’s a holiday in Belgium.

Sam Smith just been on BBC. He has a new album out in January and will start a year long tour in April. Would be a great returning Barn act.

Foo Fighters were on the table a little while ago. Rock Werchter and Pinkpop. Not sure it will happen, but we will know soon enough.

[Aech2ElectricBoogaloo]

This is the first news of whether Foos will even return as far as I'm aware, great to hear I hope for Foos every year.

this is huge .. ; it means 1) they've decided to continue without Taylor Hawkins and 2) they have a new drummer.. ?

[Andrej]

I mean, it was pretty obvious the whole time they will continue and the band will go on, but this feels very very quick in a way...
