    During their last tour, I don't remember Guns N Roses playing 2 days in a row anyway. Added to the fact a co-headline Stromae/Guns N Roses would be weird and not the best choice anyway. Should be Graspop as they still miss 2 headliners.

     About as weird as "Iron Maiden --> The Black Eyed Peas in" 2011 😉

    KoL have been announced as „European festival exclusive“.

    Hope that means not other fests were interested in the band. No idea how a sane booker would pay extra royalties to have them exclusively.

    There must be some mistake, KoL is a Rock Werchter darling😆 ....but glad if they won't play, seen them too many times at RW in the last 10 years or so....

    You mean as one of the missing headliners? I'd be very surprised. RW's headliners are traditionally rock oriented with a couple of exceptions every year. It's part of the festival's identity. We already have Stromae headlining Thursday, Oscar before Muse and Rosalia probably 3rd down on Sunday (ok the latter is not a headliner but still a big name). Therefore I'd expect the missing headliners to be either both rock oriented or one rock and one alternative or electronic act (in the likes of Gorillaz, The Prodigy, etc. - not these obviously) that in any case will appeal to RW's core customer base.

    I'd give more chances to names like Liam Gallagher, The Strokes, etc...

    No, not as headliner. Like Rosalia she wouldn't even be subbing on the main stage. I was just wondering if we could have her in the Barn one day or in the afternoon at the Main Stage.

    Yeah, pretty sure every poster here meant third down as subbing, as we’ve known for a while AM / QOTSA would be our co-heads.

    Of course everybody meant third down when they said subbing 😆

    AM are announced as headliners, not co-headliners, just as headliners.

    It doesn't say anything about co-headlining in the QOTSA announcement.

  5. If we go by this picture it looks like she is playing below QOTSA who are likely subbing. That means she's playing third down at best and if so she'll be playing around 7pm. I said she'd play in the barn or in the afternoon at the Main Stage, not subbing...I guess I was pretty close.

    They announced her in the evening of her show. 

    Can't see her playing the Barn. We have Chris, he will headline the Barn. Rosalia sub on main. Would make most sense. 

    That would make no sense at all. We already have one "nobody" subbing, adding another makes no sense what so ever. It's Rock Werchter for crying out loud, they usually have a massive lineup...this year, not so much so far!

    Blur have played before actually so they are not first timers. Unfortunately, they are also playing Roskilde on that day so the only chance is if they are co-headlining with Stromae on Thursday. 

    Ahh your right, I somehow thought RHCP played on Saturday....I still think that's the only spot we can hope for, Blur --> Muse

    Given the placing of The Black Keys on the website and the knowledge that Editors are playing the Barn, I'm expecting another big name in between TBK and RHCP indeed.

    If Ken is right about the Friday headliner being a first timer, I think this is the only spot Blur could take...

     

  9. Bands that I'm hoping for and are touring ...

    Depeche Mode (not likely, I know!)
    Volbeat (playing Gothenburg in June)
    Tenaciouos D (playing their own show in Belgium and tickets still available, so very unlikely)
    Placebo 
    Steel Panther (new album and played GMM this year)
    The Hives
    Blur
    Liam Gallagher
    Puscifer
    The Prodigy (any good without Keith?)
    Wolfmother
    Evanescence
    NOFX
    Jinjer (GMM bound?)
    Witch ever hard rock/metal band that's out there and available and doesn't suck 😆🤘

    I remember. They sub for Rammstein. I don't see them sub for Stromae. And if an act like Billie Eilish is confirmed on Friday, I don't see Werchter adds Volbeat there. That's my full opinion 😉 

    Nobody expected Black Eyed Peas playing after Iron Maiden in 2011 either 😉
