2 more fests should be added. If it is true, I reckon it would be a Werchter and some German festival

Not sure how believable this is. 2 Dutch arena shows + a major Dutch festival?

It's bullshit imo.

Bråvalla has announced: 

Rammstein, Five Finger Death Punch, Wiz Khalifa, 1975, Lost Frequencies

Are any one those names more likely now for Werchter? (I know we got Rammstein already)

It would be awesome seeing FFDP playing before Rammstein!

[lightning1000]

I wouldn't be surprised to see all of those there 

[McCallion]

Tenacious D recently confirmed for Rock Am Ring. Any hope for Werchter? Opening for Rammstein maybe? Would be a dream come true!

Beirut (along with Sigur Ros) @ Opener. Last time they were Barn headliners, What position are they expected to play?

Sigur Ros are Dour exclusives

About Beirut...don't have a clue ;p

I know, I referred to Beirut. I forgot that both were Barn headliners the last time they played..

I loved Beirut stuff prepared in studio... Until I saw them in Paris two months ago. The worst show I have ever been to (concerning famous bands). Not any step on stage, not any new musical part. Everyone found it boring. 45€ for 1 hour and twenty minutes of nothing. I'm hoping for other Barn Headliners (LCD Soundsystem, Pixies, The Last Shadow Puppets...)

Secondly, Pearl Jam do not seem to be far away from Leuven

David guetta for Tinderbox. I hope some other festival will book him,  maybe Tomorrowland?

As long as Tomorrowland exists, you won't have to worry about David Guetta closing our Main Stage  or any EDM act, for that matter.

I think Beirut will be high in Barn, subbing or something like that. Have the feeling they bumped up the standard of Barn headliners to arena acts in the mean time.

Speaking of which: PJ Harvey as Barn headliner would be a nice follow up after the succes of acts like Patti Smith this year.

Agree! Unless some Cactus festival (or another one)  grab her first.

Bravalla Festival (same RW weekend) has announced:  VOLBEAT, TENACIOUS D, ACTION BRONSON and EDITORS

[Tremousse]

Here is my prediction (without Guy Garvey and PJ Harvey) :

This looks a bit too good to be true... clashes on here will be awful. Gorillaz, PJ, Tame Impala, New Order, Sufjan, Costello, Blink and Foals and that's only the first day? I don't think any festival could pull that off...

[Noeliam]

2012 was also impressive with the clashes!

sigur ros are playing dour unfortunately, and i would kill to watch bon iver then m83

[tricho]

So will we get something today.

The D? Editors? Adele?

 ... just bought tickets for Gelsenkirchen but okay... i'll take it... will miss the gig in Hamburg because of Werchter.

[Tremousse]

Probably Editors ! Or The National ! Or both

[Rouckos]

I am the only one who prefer Radiohead for the thursday instead of Pearl Jam ? The new album is coming... 
Nobody believe of Foo Fighters ? They cancel 4 dates after Paris, so it's possible to see an announcement with new dates... 

But maybe we will have the answer today at 16:00

[Dietediet]

Rumour has it that Pearl Jam will be cancelling their European Summer dates after the Paris attacks...

really? where's that rumoured?

[Createur]

Keep on rocking in the free world... my ass.

[pryce]

if that's true I imagine they were unsure of touring in the first place ....shame if it is true...they might as well never tour over here again then
