They aren't doing a massive comeback tour to just play Germany. He's just teasing a few. Think Live Nation's running the tour which Werchter would fall under but doesn't make it a guarantee. 

But there is a possibility that Linkin Park on RAR/RIP are european festival exclusive because of their anniversary

Given how in-demand their tickets were they'd probably have to pay them several headliners worth of cash for that. Think you'll see them elsewhere. My guess is Leeds+Reading here.

Franz Ferdinand seems like a good bet

Which is crazy considering this is only 3 out of the 6 LP members (the rapper, bassist and DJ).

The Rock Werchter site and App has been updated and they’ve removed all the 2024 stuff.  So looking like an announcement is imminent

Linkin Park, Dua Lipa, Eminem top line.

Probably nonsense

I don't know lol, it was just a comment because Reading was there.

APE would be great, they are the type of band they would book.

Yes, that is why I was thinking it's crazy. It's basically half of LP. 

 

But nonetheless, it's not for me. I really don't like their music. Not big on these 00s nu metal bands in general, actually. 

[BenG92]

I've already decided in my heart that The Cure are there and I'll be going, regardless of the Tweet 🤣

[scatteredscreens]

The Cure are teasing a 'big exclusive' announcement tomorrow on BBCR2+6, given the album is announced I assume these are tour dates so I reckon fests are off potentially.

[sisco]

I’m sure everyone is aware who attends RW but being a first time thought I’d research a bit:

 

Pinkpop + Wertcher share at least 1 headliner every year

 

Southside/Hurricane + Werchter share at least 1 headliner every year

 

Glasto + Werchter share a headliner 75% of the time

 

Opener + Werchter share at least 1 headliner each year

 

Mad Cool + Werchter share multiple headliners each year

 

Nos = Werchter share at least 1 headliner each year
 

Nova Rock - Very irregularly 

Roskilde - Irregularly 

Pukklepop X

IOW X

Although I guess it only matters if the others announce first.

Pinkpop and RW usually share a headliner but not every year. @sisco

Sure I went back about 5 festivals.  Maybe I missed something

I’ve now gone back all the way to 2014 and they defo share one every year since then! 10 years is enough for my research 😂

What are they teasing for tomorrow? I can't find it. Is it on their socials?

BBC radio 2 and 6 music hosts teased it. If you check the cure Reddit there's a snippet of it.

They're doing an album launch show in London you can get in a ballot for:

Really manifesting Green Day / The Cure / Billie Eilish / Pearl Jam for this year's RW!

No real rumours that Pearl Jam will be touring though.

Wondering if there’s going to be a random name out of knowhere.  I can’t see past Green Day, more hoping that there’s going to be more of the co-headers this year again like previous years

That would be a top set of headliners.
