I agree with everything you said. Of course it´s Werchter and there will be many good things to see but I still feel very let down that they missed so many good acts this year: The Smile, Arcade Fire, Massive attack, Prodigy, the National, Lana del Rey, Pulp etc. My daughter really wants to see Måneskin and Dua Lipa so I will go to Werchter regardless for 2 days this year and then go to Way Out West as a bonus;) 

 

That’s it exactly mate; for me the headliners and smaller names are fine, it’s just those “medium to big” names that are missing that is the difference this year I think. 

Enjoy WoW though, that looks a great line up!

When can we expect the final line up ? 

Looking at previous years Slope line-ups, we can still expect some great additions. 

[Reece1617]

Any ideas who might fill out some of those Slope slots? 

I've seen Blondshell as a highly likely which is great because that debut is excellent. I would also like to see Teenage Wrist, The Chats, Tigercub, Soccer Mommy, Basement.

Dream modus: Young Fathers closing one night at the Slope. That would be epic.

I saw linups start at 13:00 and end up at 1:00 ...what pepole do in between beside sleep.. its like half day with no concerts and then marathon between stages.  Why???

What to do in between? Well, you can sleep, party at the camping or at your place (it takes time to leave the ground), eat well to recover for the next day... RW is just a massive place focused on music. You just go there to watch the biggest bands worldwide (not always the case, right) with anything fancy around like a big wheel, games or stuff like that.

I know they’re hyped a lot already but what a performance by The Last Dinner Party tonight in Brussels.

They’re so confident in their sound and that’s only their first record. Probably the last time they’re playing a tiny venue here.

Expecting a good turnout in the Barn to start the Saturday.

Sounds good! The only thing that can save my liver for totally collapsing on Saturday and Sunday, so let's hope it's not stacked on Thursday (and Friday).

Full line up

The Clockworks are an amazing band.

[sacred shape]

Damn Skindred on the Slope. They've always had a massive crowd whereever I've seen them, but not a big fan myself though.

Hot Mulligan, High Vis and Bob Vylan are good gets though

Just listened to them, this is amazing. Went on their social media pages, found they play in a bar in Prague in 2 weeks. Got tickets immediately

Enough Is Never Enough is one of the best songs Ive listened in the last years

When you consider the size of the Slope stage that is a cracking bunch of names to round out the line up 

[e2p2]

It's not just a great Slope lineup, the tents are strong too, as usual. But the top-8 (main stage headliners and subheadliners) are shocking by Rock Werchter standards.

[BenG92]

Interesting year for headliners that. Everything from stinky to questionable to "good but uninteresting". Easy year to skip and save money. Curious whether I could make something out of it so...

Thur: Gaslight >Hives > Parkway > Slowdive > PH Harvey > eat during GVF > Jane's Addiction > The Streets

Fri: Visit Belgium all day > Bad Omens > Archive > Tom Morello > Snow Patrol maybe > early night

Sat: Noname > Jessie Ware > NBT / Janelle > Avril > The Blaze > Marc Rebillet > another early night

Sun: Brutus > Scowl > Idles > Loyle Carner > Michael Kiwanuka > Foos

Yeah, bit of a rough year for what RW usually has. 

[gingerevans84]

Tremendous undercard this year. Thursday really is among the best days of any European festival announced so far.

Great names in the two tents that day. The main stage is a big meh though. Not feeling that Greta/Lenny ending myself.

When do we expect the timetable?

Usually around Easter. I would guess end of March/early April.

It doesn´t seem like Friday tickets are selling out fast after all. Werchter announced last call for Friday tickets 2 weeks ago but they are still selling them.
