neacaisa Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Liking the undercard is not an argument against Friday being poor... basically it has just 1 huge act, and some medium solid ones... but imo the likes Prophets of Rage, Lorde, Alt-J, Blink 182, Chainsmokers and even Above and Beyond are all way bigger acts than the most important ones of Friday ( except Radiohead). The fact that Royal Blood,Kaleo or Future Islands are great live acts doesn't change this fact. I actually look forward to a lot of acts on Friday, but objectively the day is not great by Werchter standard Edited March 10, 2017 by neacaisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So these 3 names (and The Prodigy) are all possible, and we can still get one or two or even three of them. I very much hope so! Regardless, still loving the lineup. But yeah, hope to be proved wrong this time next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBeeis Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Has anyone noticed that KOL and Arcade Fire have swapped places... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neacaisa Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Imo, for the important slots we are looking just for: Saturday barn headliner Sunday sub or barn headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar & the Wolf and James Blake are plan B and plan C... If we look at the calendars, a possible (the thing is it's really feasible) is Kasabian on Friday as Radiohead sub, The Killers on Sunday as Foo Fighters sub, Biffy Clyro on Saturday (cause there's a clear space next to Blink on the bill), and The Prodigy as dance act on Thursday night (which explains they switched). It would be the perfect scenario in my opinion. The Weeknd could take that Thursday spot too. Let's see what happen for the last names but I'm convinced we're going to have at least two other big names. Keep hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF or KoL against Prophets of Rage will probably be the biggest clash of the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep hoping I lost my hope to be honest, we're talking about a huge last announcement that never happened at Werchter. Realistically, one huge name is all that we can get (and I think we probably will) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOAD Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 When do the stage splits get announced? At the moment Im thinking: Thursday Main: Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Imagine Dragons, Prophets of Rage, Agnes Obel and Savages Barn: Lorde and ??? Klub C: The Chainsmokers and Mura Masa Friday Main: Radiohead, James Blake, Royal Blood, Bazart, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, White Lies and ??? Barn: Oscar and the Wolf & Birdy Klub C: ??? and Dua Lipa Saturday Main: Linkin Park, System of a Down, Blink-182, Seasick Steve, Crystal Fighters, Jimmy Eat World and Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes Barn: Bonobo and Kodaline Klub C: Above & Beyond and Passenger Sunday Main: Foo Fighters, Alt-J, ???, Dropkick Murphys, The Kills, Rag N Bone Man and Nothing But Thieves Barn: Soulwax and ??? Klub C: G-Eazy and Rae Sremmurd Wouldnt be too many decent slots left to fill then. Just mainly filling up Barn and Klub C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just assuming they're not on the bill, due to the lacklustre last announcements in the past couple of years then if they're not, I won't be disappointed. I don't think there's a space next to Blink? Surely it's Seasick Steve - he's announced he's on the Main Stage on Saturday? Surely the only place Biffy would be is Barn headliner Saturday?

Usually, main stage has seven acts per day (except when there's a long one like paul mcCartney) Blues Pills - Seasick Steve - Biffy Clyro - Blink 182 - System of a Down - Linkin Park sounds good, don't you think ?

Tremousse Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Knowing that in 2014 it was : The Temperance Movement - Kodaline - Haim - Biffy Clyro - Triggerfringer - The Black Keys - Pearl Jam (it was a hell of a day, with a huge party after concerts thanks to the qualification of Netherlands at football) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm yeah, true. Could be. The issue is, I'm sure I read on a previous page that Frank Carter said he was opening the main stage. And I can't really see Jimmy Eat World being in the Barn...

So you can exchange Blues Pills and Seasick Steve with Frank Carter and Jew, in both cases there will be tattoos in the Barn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDNL Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 SOAD still the only act I'm particularly interested in seeing on the Saturday. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfire Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Today's announcement wasn't amazing for me but Above and Beyond was an unexpected surprise. Hopefully they don't clash with Linkin Park. I really hope Arcade Fire are still in the "headliner" slot on the Thursday. Seeing them in the light would just be wrong.

I'd still suggest people giving him a go on spotify or whatever as I'm liking his recorded stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
