What do we think of Paul McCartney? He headlined Glastonbury in 2022 and has resumed his Got back-tour. Would probably be the last chance to see one from the Beatles. 

He was awesome last time around, so that would be great!

I agree! Plus, everyone would sing along to the songs:)

no RATM in 2024.

Do you think the plan has change (Pinkpop post on Facebook tease RATM, but maybe it's really only for collective memory) ?

[Andrej]

Would be great if RATM come over here, they are probably the most unpredictable name at the moment, together with SOAD. I spoke with people that work with RATM a month ago, and there are never any plans, and then at one moment Zach decides he wants to tour, and tour comes along in 1 week. So who knows, back then they told me no RATM in 2024, but that might have changed.

Pinkpop also teased Rammstein and Pearl Jam. Doubt they have headline with all three of them. 😉

Got the same info yesterday from a guy who works for booking agency which had arranged RATM concert in 2022 and he said there is no news about RATM

Short update on Live is Live as there’s no separate thread.

Standard day tickets are 90 EUR, seating is 120 and frontstage is 130 EUR (!!!).

Combi are 225. Combi seat 315. Combi frontstage 345.

What the hell.

[Thrill]

So Blink 182 is out of equation. Pity as I was hoping to catch them at Werchter.

Just seen it there! Dammit anyway!

[Floyd_Ams]

Apart from a couple of names, I'd take the entire list of names from Hellfest's first announcement to RW.

Ps: Yes yes I'd happily see QOTSA two years in a row. There are awesome! 😉

Werchter aren’t adverse to booking headliner bands from one year to the next, never mind bands of Royal Blood’s size. 
 

Foos/QOTSA/Royal Blood would be a very solid day though, even though I worry they’d skim it and do Foos/Royal Blood

[P.bintein]

Do you know why band prefer to tour in UK and US than in Europe.

Blink 182, Green Day, Fall out Boy will tour during spring and summer in US. Foo fighters have already announce UK and US tour but nothing in Europe (apart Helfest). 

Even a band like Royal Blood will don't play an arena tour for their new album and will do only a few festivals in Europe.

Maybe the market in US is more interesting than in UE.

This is the Werchter that literally just had two years of Red Hot Chili Peppers headlining right?

Feels like most bands were using UK crews for European tours and Brexit has been a total pain in the arse for organising it. Or maybe they like just announcing UK stuff first and leave Europe until down the line.

I don't think any two bands are going to be alike with this stuff.

Yeah sorry, I was trying to make the point that Werchter will book headliners two years off the bounce if it makes them money (Florence and the Machine 2015/16, RHCP last year/22, KOL seemingly every year between 2008-2014)

Apologies if it didn’t come across as such haha

How come?

[Ohad]

Did Rex Orange County grow more popular in Belgium since his Klub C billing in 2020? He's back touring

Blink will still come over for Reading/Leeds and a few others in Europe.

 

Its still mentally earlier for announcements for European festivals as well, not even November. We know Green Day are coming over as well. I'd imagine Fall Out Boy will be over. We have the biggest festivals announcing next week as well.Have some patience!

Aren't FOB touring EU right now?

[49Lawson]

If they’re floating around in August I reckon they’re nailed on for Lokerse rather than doing somewhere like Werchter. Hope I’m wrong, would have loved to have seen them here
