Pretty sure they're out for Werchter.

Of course they are. That's a quite costly band they haven't booked a bunch of times before... 😕

I don't know where to post this but it has Green Day, Olivia Rodrigo and Werchter's house band RHCP so it's somewhat relevant 😄 But this whole LA Benefit show was amazing. Pretty much everyone brought their A game

Need to give this a watch, love the  band Dawes

It's really sad we have to get tragedic events to get historical shows. I still remember the insane line-up Ariana Granda got after the terrorist attack at her show in Manchester. There's this show now in L.A. now some sick featurings. I wish we would have more of that more often (but not too much to keep this legendary/historical/rare).

 

About RW, nothing this week. Hope we gonna have PKP stuff next week and wait a bit for RW anyway (honestly 1% chance I come in 2025).

Best line up of the year!

We even got a fake announcement 😭

No Oscar & The Wolf at Werchter then.  Wondering whether that just means RAYE is the sub

Too bad, but when posting conclusions/statements, it's always nice if the poster can refer to source, so everyone doesn't have to search for the reasoning themselves.

Apologies I should have been clearer. 

 

Today Chappell Roan, Oscar & The Wolf and Chase n Status have been announced for Pukklepop which means they’ll not be playing Rock Werchter (so I’ve been told they don’t share the major acts)

Ok thanks. Time wise they're a bit separated as well, so I've really never looked at them to be very overlapping anyway, but I wouldn't have mind OaTW compared to other names circulating. I think you're right though. With how sales are going, they probably just scale down the whole Saturday, using Raye as a sub and counting on it to sell out anyway. 

[northernangel]

Surprising as I was under the impression OATW were playing months ago

Yeah I think so mate, can’t actually seeing much what people would class as big being added.  Think you could look a the lineups of Nos, MC, Opener etc.. and have a good stab at 15/20 acts that’ll be playing.  Strange they’re not playing as the source was the drummer of OATW too, guess things can change unless there’s some exception and they do both (I doubt it).

They're Belgian. Don't know if that changes anything in terms of exclusiveness?

Alice in Chains playing in black Sabbath's farewell gig July 5th in the uk. Would love to see them over play Werchter one of the other days .

That’d be awesome! They don’t have any other dates in Europe though (yet) and Jerry Cantrell is touring solo until the end of June at least (I actually have tickets for one of his gigs 🙂). It looks more like a one off but we can always hope! 

[branvan]

What a long wait! A few new bands would be nice...

[mikebat]

The Roots at Gent Jazz festival, maybe Werchter too ? It could be amazing !

Me and a couple of friends were chatting the other day; obviously I think some things are happening behind the scenes and this used to be very normal but I feel like the June/July festivals are the barest they've ever been at this stage in the year for the most part. Easily since the pandemic. 

 

Some people on Festileaks think we could be getting something today as apparently Pukkelpop won't continue announcing until next week. Believe it when I see it haha

[sisco]

In between interviewing today I come with hope.  The backseat lovers have announced themselves on their website so it’s looking good for announcement

They would be a big plus point for me too. Franz Ferdinand, Weezer, The Backseat Lovers, all looking promising for today!

[BennyL]

Oh we’re getting names?

My hopes have been raised..

[Kempleton]

I’ll believe it when I see it.

 

Friday afternoon seems like a bit of a weird time to announce anything.

 

Hopefully something is coming over the next week or so.

[Karlos12345]

Friday 4 pm used to be their standard announcement time.

[branvan]

May they are waiting till the Snow Patrol concert in Belgium is over on Sunday, to announce them after?...
