Why would you be mad? She’s headlining the biggest festival in the world so she certainly deserves it.  

Do we think she’ll have another big act under her to support the ticket sales

Festi leaks

So no names today! Strange...Considering that ticket sales start on Friday - which would normally mean several announcements prior to that day - it would make sense if they'd started today (in fact it's weird that they stayed silent for almost 2 weeks).

So maybe tomorrow then? Together with BKS and possibly a couple others...

Tickets go on sale on Friday so we still have a few days... I won't count on tomorrow. But more closer to tickets start so Wednesday or even Thursday.

Still nothing ! Pre sale tickets out tomorrow , how can thy be so quiet ??

This was my plan for 2024 but big green coach aren't doing european festival travel from the uk anymore. £129 round trip flight from brum isn't so bad. Is the shuttle from brussels to werchter easy peasy?

You first need to take a train to Leuven, then the shuttle to the festival. It's very well organized, you won't wait long time to have a shuttle. So I'd say easy peasy 🙂

There are also paid shuttles from airports to the festival @Padjeq, they go a few times a day and are easy to get

Pearl Jam always announce the start of December. If anything the delay makes them more likely. 

[Floyd_Ams]

That whole pre-sales thingy was a joke last year (advertised but never happened) and I think it will be the same this year too. No confirmation message or email after registration and today they removed it from the website and the app although the deadline was supposed to be tomorrow. Don’t know why they bother doing that really.

Anyway…updates on the website and the app indicates new names coming today imo.

Massive Attack, Prodigy and Arcade Fire announced for BBK Live. Would love to have any of them at Werchter.

Massive Attack are in my RW wishlist every year. I find it strange that they haven't been there for 20 years.

I hope this will change in '24.

Same here! I find it odd that they haven´t played Werchter for such a long time. They are a really good live band.

Few more that could pop up

Parov Stelar, Idles and The Hives are welcome. I hope the rest will stay away although we'll probably end up with several of them.
