August is gonna get RHCP

Hope not!

More likely Green Day I'd say. Said for a while that I can see them sticking around and headlining R&L, Sziget and Pukkelpop.

American bands tend not to stay the whole summer! I'd rather Green Day than RHCP so hopefully you are right!

No headline sized bands announced anything for august yet so we're really in the unknown for Pukkelpop/Sziget.

Hopefully Werchter has Kings of Leon but not Arcade Fire too.

R&L I think is the key in this one. They've had an American headliner for the last 6 years at least. Metallica played a couple of years ago and a lot of the options have already been taken by other UK festivals. Wont be the Chili Peppers as they were there last year. 

I can see it being GD or a return for Eminem wouldn't surprise me either.

I'd love to see AF at Sziget so if they do Werchter they surely won't stay in Europe for 2 months; if they can do Pukkelpop that'd be nice.

But really, I think AF will do Werchter.

The american band could be The Killers!

Yep, could be them as well...and hopefully the Strokes can't be ruled out either

Many bands haven't announced anything yet! 

Maybe it's gonna be KoL / The XX or maybe even The Killers will play in june-july!

[SilverLining]

Yeah i was expecting the XX to be touring august time next year so was placing them at PP. This line up is insane so far being that im from Scotland and our main fest TITP has been utter shite the last couple of years

Green day are not doing r&l

[Gozpot]

Green Day aren't doing R&L.

They only played in 2013 and add doing both a UK tour and BST, not happening.

[raccamme]

we start to have a pretty good idea of what is gonna be the headliners of the main stage  but what about  the barn and klub C...  i see bon iver , naked and famous , george ezra , 2 many Dj's, un retour de nathaniel rateliff , the lumineers, m83

No announcement today? Maybe Foos posted the wrong picture yesterday? It was supposed to be Denmark and Belgium on Thursday for an weekly Friday announcment?

Don't think so.. probably they're just waiting until Friday for the suspense and all.  

[ThijsDB]

At 4pm Werchter appeared again on the tourpage from FF so there was definitely an announcement planned. Different media also confirmed around that time but no official announcement yet. Probably some miscommunication happened but I really expect an announcement today!

I'm certain that there was bound to be an announcement at the beginning of the week. First of all because both Thursday and Sunday still needed a name (and they never drop 2 headliners in the same announcement), but also because they need to announce the presale info for 2016 ticket holders, which usually starts on the Wednesday before the regular sale.

Weird things are happening... I also checked the page a few times today and nothing came up.. but maybe i just missed it..

[Gossard]

I tried from my mobile and got this. Dunno if it works on PC also as I clicked the passport and nothing happened. Mist be a bug or something.

Anyway no RW so far.

[Red Day]

It was on that page (Sunday RW)  earlier when I looked but got removed

[ParanoidTourist]

Yes, I also see its gone now from the page. Guess they must have removed it at some point after 4 pm.

I checked about 340 (uk time) and it was gone.  Think we can safely say they're Sunday night headliners. And that makes me very happy !

The line-up is already fantastic. Yesterday, 13th November, was a very special day...And I choosed to go to a concert. THE CAT EMPIRE. I had discovered them at Rock Werchter 2015, where they gave an incredible gig. Last night was even more incredible, unforgettable. They have become something... It was a transcontinental party with goosebumps, jumpings, voices lost... I hope they will be back in the Barn soon. Their new album is awesome on stage.
