matrainertje Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) Class booking. Dua Lipa excites me more than Foo Fighters, to be honest. But a really strong 1-2 punch for the festival. Edited November 13, 2023 by matrainertje Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkIreland Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Well balls to that anyway. At least least I can take Saturday evening off and go into Leuven. (Providing theres not a good alternative act to stick around for) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49Lawson Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Just seen Greta Van Fleet have been announced as headlining a festival in Norway the week before. Looking at that festival, they could definitely be a top line band at Graspop, but given that they played Werchter in 2019 and had to cancel in 2022 I wouldn’t be surprised to see them here again. I know they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but they work for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidTourist Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 In terms of pop acts, I would be way happier with Billie Eilish or Olivia Rodrigo (rather than Dua Lipa). However, Werchter usually have a nice Barn act at the same time as a pop act on main stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd_Ams Posted November 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Not sure what this means for RW but I'm not gonna risk it. I'm buying tickets to see them as soon as they are out. Same as I have done for Depeche Mode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right but I really hope you are not! 🙂 Unless they are not around or not touring at that time I cannot think of a single good reason why RW would pass on such an opportunity again.

VCF Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Dua Lipa! Fantastic booking. A strong undercard and that’s my day ticket sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_one Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Does werchter has a history of announcing the last headliner on the day the tickets go on sale or when the tickets go on sale the headliners are all announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossard Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 I went on spotify and I did not recognize even one Dua Lipa song....this probably means that I'm very old😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine not recognizing "Don't Start Now" or "Levitating", they've been all over popular advertising and social media. If you installed TikTok anything for about two years you knew these songs instantly. 😆 As I recommended earlier in the thread, her episode of "Song Exploder" on Netflix is excellent. The Killers also have one, that's very funny because they clearly film the band members in different time/location, only the singer and drummer from The Killers remain with the band. Also, Dua had the main song from the Barbie movie, which... You know, a lot of people saw. She was in the movie, too. She's huge currently and a very good addition to the lineup, I think she played before Nine Inch Nails at Mad Cool and didn't feel out of place at all around all those rock bands.

49Lawson Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 Not unexpected but not blown away by them. If the intel for Pearl Jam also playing that night is correct that could be an excellent double bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got faith they won’t be headlining that day alone though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 Didn't expect them to headline Werchter... On their last arena tour, they played twice in Brussels selling very quickly 16k tickets and it was almost Mission Impossible to get tickets on TicketSwap. They could have sold bigger arenas in Belgium. But to imagine them headling RW... I guess we gonna have a real co-headline that day like Imagine Dragons + Twenty One Pilots in 2022. 08.11 Foo Fighters for Sunday 13.11 Dua Lipa for Saturday 15.11 Maneskin for Friday ??.11 ?? for Thursday Hopefully we gonna have the Thursday headliner (or Friday co-headliner) soon enough.
