I wish is not super line up, cause I have the feeling is going to be amazing line up, and I have gotten tickets for Glastonbury and I don't wanna lose the chance to go for first time, although Im afraid the line of Wertcher will be more my style...

Always going to be unlikely with the rumoured Graspop big announcement today. I have a feeling we get a bigger batch of 15-20 names on Friday, followed by Pearl Jam next week

Well for the first time in forever I didn’t get Glasto tickets so off to Wercher I go.  Trying to persuade people to join me so need a lineup to entice them with.

I was expecting 1 or 2 more this/next week then something like the 25/30 they announced last year at the start of December

I'm sure the line-up at Wertcher will be amazing! I have a good feeling with it, but I can't refuse going to Glastonbury on my first try getting tickets.

100% you have to go to Glastonbury. It’s really not all about the music there but there’s so many options.  Best festival in the world

That's why I'm going there, hopefully I will be lucky with the line up also🙏

AC/DC are rumoured for a Europe tour after a German mayor let slip they were playing a huge stadium show in Munich.

Do we think they could show up here? I’m heading to RW for the first time this year after no luck with Glastonbury and AC/DC would be an absolute dream for me.

Sadly not, too big of a name so it only makes sense that they would have their own show. Could be TW Classic though.

I was a bit afraid of the possibility of them not being around for the festival season (e.g. go on a US tour again) but this is very very good news:

Best news of the week. My number one band I'm hoping to see at RW now.

Wonderful news!

All smiles for The Smile!

Queens of the stone age wasn´t included in the Graspop ananouncement today. I hope that makes them more likely for Werchter. Unless Pinkpop grabs them. 

[Hammerfest]

And tomorrow will be the next announcement from Live is Live - getting nervous that they will take another favorite off the board.

Im So confused, they played this year? Surely they won’t play again?

It happens sometimes that Werchter repeat an artist. Red Hot Chilli Peppers played both 2022 and 2023 for example.

You might be right. It's mostly wishful thinking on my part. But I wish more for the Smile.

Indeed, RATM was plan A and they were replaced by RHCP after they cancelled their entire tour.

However, considering the shortage in big rock headliners (partially due to the insane number of festivals these days - but that's another discussion) and the fact that QOTSA was the highlight of the last edition according to most people, I wouldn't be surprised if they bring them back. And I would be very happy with that personally.

I think it’ll be Weezer or Interpol, both touring with Smashing Pumpkins. Worst case scenario (even though I’m not expecting them) would be Pulp 

[mikebat]

I was hoping for Karnivool, but they are at graspop 😞

Do you think we will have more names before next week ?

90% sure they'll be at Pukkelpop
