Rock Werchter 2025

[scatteredscreens]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the cure given they're about to finally announce their new album 

[P.bintein]

Pré sale for Imagine Dragons at Stade de France and other city in France sold out. Really Big demand.

If they are really announced for Southside/Hurricane in the next few days, we could have them. They didn't play in Belgium on their last tour, I'd be sadly surprised if they miss Belgium twice in a row.

Does RW normally share with Southside/Hurricane?

 

Actually, does anyone know what festivals RW normally has a big crossover with.  For instance, I was sad the other day and identified over the past 13 years (I think that’s how far I went back) RW and Glasto have shared at least 1 headliner 73% of the time

There's usually a lot of crossover with glasto, and in more recent years Mad cool as it's two live nation events on consecutive weekends. I could definitely see Green Day happening if they're playing Germany two weeks earlier.

Ok looking at the Hurricane/Southside lineups RW share at least a headliner with them every year (for the past 5 festivals at least)

Feel like I heard a rumour of Green Day playing Hurricane/Southside in Germany from a Green Day fan account the other day.

They are, have a look on the Rock Am page here

[sisco]

Have to say, absolutely convinced Green Day are headlining now. Saw them last year but as they were so good more than happy with the repeat 

[Ken19]

Problem with Green Day in the recent past is that they wanted to decide who can play the main stage before them. And not only 1 band, but all of the bands. 
This was a no go for Werchter the last times they were offered. No idea how the situation is this time.

There are rumours of Fred Again and Olivia Rodrigo headlining Glasto in 2025. Do you expect them to be on the RW line-up as well?

Well at IOW festival this year they had Mcfly, Beverley Knight and Zara Larsson on their bill (also Simple Minds and NBT).  I reckon they might be over it 😂

[sisco]

Out of interest @Ken19 do you know of any acts booked this year?

I fully expect at least one of them will be, basically when I looked through the lineups they share a headliner 73% of the time (very precise and boring of me I know)

I think that we should avoid this kind of questions to Ken if we don’t want him to disappear again… 😉

Was more a how far down the line they are with the booking process rather than who. 
 

I have info on a couple of bands and I’d not share myself either until the time is right because you’ll not get the info again 

[BenG92]

Green Day confirmed for Hurricane/Southside in Germany in June. 

 

What are we saying?

They always share a headliner, so got to be a very very good chance now

 

[sisco]

I’d be happy with Green Day, Biffy Clyro, Amyl and the Sniffers and Wet Leg from that announcement

I'd be happy with Green Day, Biffy Clyro, Amyl from that. Biffy gotta be getting a slot back at Glastonbury though either subbing or Other headliner. I think it'll be a sub as they are too mainstream. Something like C&S, Biffy Clyro and some rapper

I think they’ll headline the other opposite either a Olivia or Fred.  Subbed last time so that’ll work better I think.  Anyway… back to RW

 

Always amazes me how low acts are on overseas festivals.  Looking at the official website for Hurricane/Southside Wet Leg and Amyl are basically the bottom line so far!  Could easily both be Klub C headliners I guess

I would hunch currently at Charli XCX, The Prodigy and Nick Cave being Other headliners at a guess. But yes

 

Don't really know RW much for placing but I'm open to next year as I think they'll go big for 50.

Those 3 also have to be in with a very good chance of being at RW too.  
 

Honestly can’t wait for the announcements to start, we’re going whatever comes but always good to start listening to the acts.
