Rock Werchter 2023

[Boss89]

Depending on the production it's not that big of a deal to come over twice. She's young + there's lots of money involved. So basically anything is possible.

 

I think the fact that 3/8 headliner are pop-oriented would usually be a bigger red flag. But I see it happening this year.

Two weeks in August, two weeks in July covering all the biggest festivals in each period.

August for NL, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Germany ...

July for Spain, Portugal, Poland, Denmark, Belgium ...

Would make sense imi. 

Hopefully, you're right about it. Maybe we will know more in 5 minutes!

Got the info from someone working at Rock Werchter that the last headliner would be announced in January... hope she was wrong. Seems a long time to announce an headliner for the festival.

True… will make more sense in januari

It means the final headliner will be announced in January.

I would guess a bigger batch of names is coming today.

I would much prefer this to be honest; gives you a much better indication as to if the festival will be worth doing next year

Does this have any weight to RATM making an announcement?

Robbie williams plays sportpaleis in January, I hope you don't mean that we need to wait till after that Concert to announce ... Robbie williams

[Toshbas]

Maybe the Friday headliner didn't announce their tour yet. Maybe AC/DC?

Robbie Williams played at Rock Werchter in 1999 so they are out. The headliner is a newcomer.

[ParanoidTourist]

Since the Friday headliner is new to the festival: how about the Rolling Stones? Perhaps farfetched but I don´t think they have played before at the festival. 

Anyway hope we get some names soon.

[polnico]

[Aech2ElectricBoogaloo]

Hahahahaha imagine I'll be the only one happy with that

Boy, that's some cop out. 

[Scarnic]

Come on, really!!! Been there done that.

No thanks.

[49Lawson]

As someone who didn’t go to RW this year I am over the moon with that, but imagine I’m massively in the minority

I'm more than happy... but didn't expected it at all! I didn't even see it at the first when they uploaded the poster. I was looking for Lolla Paris... which is not on the list. For a surprise, it's a surprise. Curious to know if they replace Foo Fighters or another band. One thing seems sure too: Billie Eilish won't be in Europe this Summer. Or could she co-headline with the RHCP and be the last headliner missing at Mad Cool too?
