Pearl Jam Green Day Billie Eilish Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Would be a fairly strong 4 with some good subs/co-heads. (although I do think FredAgain will be there) I would be well happy with that . Throw in Fontaines dc and we are good to go !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrainertje Posted yesterday at 01:18 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:18 PM Hoping for: Nine Inch Nails, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Billie Eilish, The XX, Tame Impala, The Cure, Bon Iver, Jack White, Faith No More, Olivia Rodrigo could be fun too. Ok, woud not totally hate it if they were there: Fred Again, Green Day, Kings of Leon, Eminem, Pearl Jam, Florence and the Machine Please no: Oscar & the Wolf, Linkin Park, Twenty One Pilots, Mumford and Sons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codhead Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) What am I missing with Nick Cave? I have heard of them but couldn't name a hit. I listened to a couple of tracks on youtube and it's very meh! So what I am missing, why are they seen as headliners?

Was just an intense, happy, painfully sad show. Amazing backing band and he just makes his audiences day with interactions. Throw 'this is Nick cave' on Spotify and you should be pleasantly surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally find this version amazing, and it's one of my go to songs to get people into Nick Cave. Maybe he isn't for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a headliner, I'm hoping he plays primavera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly how I see it too, just not for me at all. But then if I search similar artists to Nick Cave, there is very few I will like so clearly not for me. It wouldn't be an issue to not watch a band headlining not on a main stage though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have you actually seen him live? To be fair, no video really does justice to how thrilling his (their) live shows are. I go to concerts/festivals since 2006 but few come close to what Cave brings to the table, live wise. And about the question if he's headline worthy or not: in Belgium he easily sold out 2 times the Sportpaleis (Europe's biggest arena). Not every Rock Werchter headliner manages to do so... But I have the feeling he's much bigger in Belgium (and Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands) than the UK, for instance. Anyway, I always loved this on stage registration of Stagger Lee from Primavera a few years ago: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to listen to 5 minutes of monotonous stuff as a precursor to it building up slightly then maybe not the best song to introduce people to. I did only managed 4 and a bit miutes of it as it was a little like white noise Each to their own, if people are enjoying his music, then it's all good with me. I just wanted to try and see if I was missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archi Posted 43 minutes ago Author Report Share Posted 43 minutes ago Time is running out to let us know which artists or bands you want to see at #RW25. Don’t miss your chance to share your picks and win the very first combi ticket for the festival! End of the wishlist soon and first names early October? With so many festivals announcing so early this year, I hope some in Belgium will do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
