He's playing Belgian solo dates in August. No chance he'll be at Rock Werchter.

Yeah that's probably the bigger barrier. No way he's doing both Werchter and those shows.

Olivia Rodrigo the Friday Glasto headliner if you believe good sources here and on Discord

She that doesn't shock me. If the festival was at least two female headliners then one is going to be on Friday. They did the same with wanting Dua Lipa and Madonna.

Yeah one might think. But there have always been credible rumors by October if PJ was planning a European tour the year ahead.

The rumors are always starting around now indeed. Give it some more weeks. Announcement normally in december. This year was different because of the new album...

[Ohad]

FINNEAS announced a tour accompanying Billie's (plays the nights in between). If we're getting Billie Eilish, sounds like another possible act for the bill (like Tame Impala / Pond usually does?)

Romanian music festival Electric Castle announcing their first "big headliner" tonight at 19:00 local time. Whatever it is, might be one of the werchter headliners as well as the festival will be 2 weeks after the werchter weekend. Possible The Cure tour announcement?

It's Justin Timberlake.

JT and they don’t share headliners.  They share a few acts normally so would be more interested once they’re announcing that.

 

Also, Kylie ruled out this morning

The Kylie gig is a handy stop gap between Live is Live and Werchter weekends.

Yes it's been suggested of Kylie coming back. I think she'll have a fairly high spot like 3rd down.

People that play Sportpaleis won’t be playing RW.  So Kylie is ruled out

So is Oscar and the wolf ruled out too?

Let’s hope so, although that is 4 months earlier not days. 

[P.bintein]

For the last tickets for their gig at Defense Arena, there was near that 50 000. They are really really Big. 

They can sold out multiple Stadium show next years. 

It's the reason why I think they can play their own show and not playing in festival.

Guys, you can't seriously compare artists playing at SportPaleis 4 months before RW and one playing there 2 days before...

Exactly.

Well the new Olivia Rodrigo dates make her guaranteed for Glasto and likely for Werchter too

[sisco]

I’m currently predicting:

 

Green Day
FredAgain / The Cure
Olivia Rodrigo / Oscar + The Wolf
Linkin Park

I shall be back when I’ve got zero correct 😂

We shall ask you for the lottery numbers if you get the full house.

 

And maybe also if you get them all wrong so we know which ones not to pick.

I don't think Olivia will be at Werchter but I agree that having Wednesday off is a convenient gap with Belgium close. I'd add Jack and Blink to that and I'd be happy with that. I'd replace both of Fred and OATW too.

Such is festival season but it would need a very strong undercard to convince me if that was what we got served up. I'm hoping that there's a few bigger bands hiding in the wings with yet-to-be-announced dates to really shake things up.

 

I know 10 years ago places didn't really start announcing until Nov/Dec at the earliest but in recent years with the September/October announcements it has made the rumour mill a bit tepid this year. Most of us are just trying to guess what we'll be getting instead of having anything concrete to sink our teeth into.

Well I thought it was massively stacked and really unlikely 😂.  You’re asking much much more than me

Oh no sorry, I definitely think it's objectively strong, I just meant subjectively I don't think it would do much for me personally haha! I've already seen most of the names listed there and the ones I haven't I don't have much interest in. Would personally prefer Billie over ORod but we'll see what we end up with soon enough I imagine...

 

It would definitely sell well though, just I would have to see what else was coming before I committed haha.

[northernangel]

I hope liv is here as I can see now for the first time there being an other stage headliner getting in the way at Glastonbury. Realistically I think only The Prodigy would question it and I have Brixton anyway.
