Rock Werchter 2024

[VCF]

Added them in a rush but we’re still waiting for more info on that self-confirmation.

Can’t find anything on their website.

would parkway drive really be smaller than GVF?

I agree! For me, it would be extremely weird if Khruangbin and Sum 41 are subbing the main headliner since Khruangbin played in the afternoon in Klub C in 2019 and Sum 41 played around lunch in 2022.

Odd indeed. We might still get a sub but that would push Avril to 4th down which seems… very low. 

Unless she’s headlining the Barn.

But that would not make sense as she’s a perfect 7-8pm act for that Saturday in my opinion.

Yeah very strange indeed. I feel like perhaps they're headlining Klub C or the Barn and they've been put here to reflect that?

Totally, agree, Avril as 3rd down is a great booking. Perhaps a weak sub but considering how infrequently she tours/plays but it could be viable. 7-8pm when the beer is just starting to hit and we're all shouting the lyrics to 'Sk8r boi' though...

What do you think about big names we can expect to be announced this or next year? I guest we have at least 3 slots for main / sub-headliners

I'm interested specifically in Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Tame Impala, Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails

It's hard to predict any more large names for 2024, you'd think we should get more but there don't seem to be many others touring.  Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins are out based on tour dates, Tame Impala and NIN don't seem to be touring, while Massive Attack seems possible/likely.  Something medium like Arcade Fire or KOL would be more likely.  Pearl Jam seem like they will only be doing Mad Cool and NOS next year.  I think 2025 will be a huge year for headliners after how poor 2024 options are.

Tame impala and NIN are are very slim to none, all the rest are a possibility although I haven't checked green days tour

[Rico_Pliskin]

I see you said next year, I'd imagine Tame impala to make a return and hopefully nine inch nails

It’s been mentioned but I think only Massive Attack has a realistic chance out of those for one reason or another. 

Pearl Jam tour comes out Monday apparently so we’ll see if they’re here then, but as it’s been suggested it feels like Werchter might be looking at the likes of Arcade Fire, KOL, QOTSA again to make fairly solid days of two or three bigger bands at the top of the main stage rather than a mega headliner each day

[ParanoidTourist]

The best case scenario for me in terms of co-headliner is if we got Queens of the stone age, Massive Attack or Arcade Fire. One of the co-headliners might be wasted on Sam Smith though.

Forgot about him, I’m praying that if he was going to be here he would be in the Barn opposite Foos or something

Fun fact: Parkway Drive also confirmed themselves today for the Thursday 

Where did they do that?

That Sunday looks weak, Friday looks ace for me. I'd take Lenny. Dua Lipa and Avril. I think Glastonbury will have a good 7 of these at least.

Very happy to commit to this. Should only get stronger.

Sunday is already sold out so no doubt why they haven’t added too much to it yet. looking at the lineup I’m ok with missing out on Glasto tickets 

[SweetJesus]

@Ken19 Mr Bungle & Turnstile on Werchter or Graspop?

That Friday looks like it misses 2-3 really big names. As it stands now on of the wordt RW days I've ever seen.

Not a fan of Smith either, but I do have to say it's still a bit weak on big pop names though. Apart from Dua Lipa, there's not much else. I would expect one or two big main stage names within that genre. Would die for Lorde subbing Dua Lipa or Maneskin. 

[Archi]

About Parkway Drive, their booking agency announced them at 4pm yesterday on Instagram (that's how I discover RW announced new names) but the time I look on RW post and go back there, the post was cancelled. It stays just a few minutes. I guess they were supposed to be announced yesterday but something changed. Sadly I don't have screenshot about it.

Only 1 big name missing for that day I think: sub on Main Stage between Maneskin and Sum 41. We can compare this day with the Saturday in 2022.

Imagine Dragons                   Maneskin
Twenty One Pilots                 TBA
Anne-Marie                            Sum 41
Yungblud                                Yungblud   
Maneskin                                Simple Plan
Nothing But Thieves              TBA

According to this, Turnstile and Limpbizkit (both rumoured for RW) will be at Graspop next summer:

(the poster was leaked via Kamelot's socials)

[Archi]

If it's true, it's great to see Turnstile at Graspop. Many bands were possible for both. Electric Callboy, Turnstile, Limp Bizkit, Bad Omens, Sum 41... If the get 4 of 6, it's great (even if it sucks they didn't get Bad Omens).
