Well it depends. It doesn't seem like they have done anything with the capacity, although it's hard to say what they mean by a "brand new Klub-C". Open fronts will help those outside be more engaged in the concert as well as the extra screens, but there were screens outside last year also, so unsure how much that helps. Basically open fronts is an advantage, but if you can't get in, I'm very unsure whether it will help to feel like you're a part of the concert. It is common on other festivals though, so maybe... 

 

I've got very few tent-artists I want to see this year, so hopefully there won't be many issues for me. Morello/Snow Patrol will probably be the only one if I decide to see them rather than Sum 41.

The lineup looks better with the schedule up imo. Hope everyone going has a good time

In their newsletter, RW put this photo to show of the new Barn should look. Nothing about the Klub C. I really thought that The Barn became an open-air stage but seems not. Curious to see it live this Summer (going only on Friday)!

I think Rock Werchter looks fine. 16 acts with 1 clash for me it seems to me and that's with Sunday as apart from Foo Fighters it's pretty awful for me.

I'd have been happy enough to take a ticket for that but I can't do Glastonbury then a week after.

[ParanoidTourist]

Not too many clashes for me either actually. My schedule will probably look like this: 

 

Friday: Tom Odell, dEus/Tom Morello, Måneskin

 

Saturday: The Last Dinner Party, Nothing But Thieves, Avril Lavigne, Dua Lipa

 

Sunday: Brutus, Breeders, Pretenders, Zara Larsson, Foo Fighters

 

I won´t go on Thursday but PJ Harvey, Black Pumas and the Hives would have been a must.

Looking at clashfinder this festival is grim compared to previous years 

[Nicklord]

They moved a number of combi tickets to day tickets. Saturday and Sunday seems to went to the waiting list people while Friday is open for sale again.

I wonder how many and how much quieter it's going to be this year

Hopefully a lot since I felt they stretched the limits for capacity too long last year, so I must admit I'm hoping for a bad ticket sales. Hopefully that can inspire them to up their game for next year as well.

A question For UK werchterites only.

Can you install the ticketmaster.be app from the play store? I'm told it's 'Ticketmaster international' but not available in my area.

Anyone know a way around this or do I have to wait until I have arrived in the EU before downloading it.

i had the problem the other way around, at least for darts premier league you could just show the code without the app.

Try to use a personel computer...over the ticketmaster website...there should it be ok..

The QR codes can be accessed on the ticketmaster.be website, you might not need the app.

Great, a merch shop before we get to the festival and find out everything has sold out by day one...but where the hell is the festival lineup t-shirt. Every festival makes one and it is the most popular! I would buy one if they made them.

The same debate is coming every year... don't know why they're not doing this.

f**kin' bad news.

A bit random - thought I'd book ahead accommodations for 2025. Is it safe to assume the festival will take place at the first weekend of July? (July 3rd to 6th) or is it more likely to be the weekend before that? (June 26th to 29th)

If you see a place with free accommodation book both weekends . That is what I usually do .

Parking tickets now available. Check the map to get the best one for where you are camping.

Found it 😉

Line-up updates:

- Lenny Kravitz will play 2h instead of 1h30 so the timetable got some slight changes with first band at 12:45.

- Tom Morello takes the spot of Bad Omens in the Barn and Archive take their spot in the Klub C while Yard Act as added as opener for the Klub C

- Peuk and The Southern River Band exchange their day

 

So we don't have a band of the level of Bad Omens that take their spot. Until they cancel their show, it was difficult to find a ticket, now there are plenty on TicketSwap.

Thanks for info! Yard act is a nice addition though.
