Are Depeche Mode completely out of the running ?  There's a few days off in the tour that could fit a RW appearance in ?

I think they are out. Some bands do an european indoor tour 1 or 2 months before the festivals (I've seen Rodrigo y Gabriela or The National in may and june and they were at RW a few weeks later) but, that's something pretty rare for a headliner.

RHCP will be at Benicassim mid July so, even if I don't think they won't be at Werchter, they are not out of the picture yet.

[Red Day]

RHCP ? Surely there's no chance. They were nothing special this year and there's nothing to merit a return next.

So,  considering RW doesnt announce a surprising act that didnt surface yet,  tomorrow probably will be one of Green Day / SOAD / Linkin Park? Did I miss anyone?

I think so too ! Even maybe two of them. (add Prophets of Rage to this shortlist)

@eratiti007 Rock Werchter always have at least two BIG headliners. Green Day are maybe not enough big to enter in this category. Radiohead are. A set of headliners organised like : Green Day / SOAD, Kings of Leon / Linkin Park, Radiohead, ... ,  let a place for another big headliner on the missing day in my opinion. The National / Pearl Jam (or U2 or etc) still fits in my opinion. Daft Punk would enter in this category as well, with Arcade Fire just before for exemple . It's still too early to draw any conclusions, rumours about Pearl Jam, Daft Punk etc are too blurry...  And Graspop has not announced anything yet, they could take Linkin Park.

EDIT : it could be a fake, true annoncement at 7pm

[Tremousse]

Sorry if it's a fake, revelation at 7pm

[Tremousse]

OK it's a fake, I suppress for the safety of everyone.

[Gossard]

Tremousse, you drunk?

Major Lazer is headlining the saturday at Main Square. This is one of our dance act for sure. Or Barn headliner.

[Red Day]

SOAD also added to Main Square

Netsky? Justice? They're a) to big for in the barn b ) other bands would fit better as barn headliner for sure, choice enough

That would do it for me. still expecting kings of Leon to show up somewhere though. we need at least one act to get annoyed about

What time are RW announcements made?

[Red Day]

4pm in Belgium. 3pm if you're in UK

[h1210]

Thanks, fingers crossed Graspop doesn't take away too many of the 'rock' bands this year. We're trying to decide between RW and Roskilde.

[eratiti007]

I'm pretty sure RW will get SOAD but I'm afraid that Prophets of Rage go to Grasspop. I hope they'll go to RW too.

[eratiti007]

So, System of a Down it is, on the Saturday. I didn't think they would play 3 days in a row but, the most important thing is they are at RW, no matter what the day is !
