Yeah home bankers I'd say. 

And the opposite of that, looks like The Last Dinner Party and The Black Keys are very very unlikely to play (announced for Garrock today)

[Nizeto]

Do you think we could get justice, they are in France the same week so it look likely possible

Very surprised TLDP are not playing.

I guess in theory they still did if they played Thursday, but makes little sense tbf

Why Garorock rules out bands for Werchter? Last year they shared Sum 41 or Yungblud.

Because they’re also playing in France on other days of the weekend too.  I suppose it’s close enough to switch but makes it more unlikely unless 3 days in a row or 3 out of 4 days playing.

The FAQ’s say no spirits on the campsites . Is that really policed?! 

 

Think it's a blanket ban to stop people bringing glass. They give your rucksack a thorough look through as you enter the Hive to make sure none gets in. If you decant spirits into empty, similar coloured pop bottles, you'll be fine.

What are the rules on boxed wine? i’m assuming it’ll be fine

[Nicklord]

They really just don't want glass. You can put whatever you want in plastic bottles and nobody checks those

Yep. We picked a couple up at an Auchan hypermarche outside Calais on the way - no problem at all in the original boxes 👍🏻

Kings of Leon likely for Lytham festival in the UK. Playing Weds or Thurs same week as this. Could they play here after, maybe a sub for Sam Fender? 

[BlackFoxx]

The Black Keys ruled out

Wednesday 2nd is the announcement for KoL in Lytham. So it is doable.

In 2022 I was attending festival where KOL were headliner and Fender sub. Things change that much last 2 years to be the opposite case?

Please no 🙏

 

I don't mind Fender, but KOL are super boring. Anyway, I hope we dodged that bullet. Can't see RW booking same headliner as Lytham

Is Camila Cabello a possibility?
She is at Les Deferlantes festival from June 26-29 in South France.

They've already booked Simple Minds who are also co-headlining a day at Lytham.

And I still wouldn’t be massively surprised if they’re subbing Werchter either! 

[ParanoidTourist]

Kings of Leon announced for Nos Alive 12th of July. Perhaps they co-headline with Fender? 

[BlackFoxx]

What kind of slot, if any, would Pulp get here? Just announced for Bilbao BBK so could be more EU festivals to come?

[BennyL]

Are we expecting more names this side of Xmas?

Think the current best guess might be new names this Friday?

Can't see them on the bill, maybe headline a smaller belgian fest.

They are great live but unfortunately, Werchter never really books them.
