Luke Routledge Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Doesn't sound like a headliner. Remember last year when everyone was saying if they announced the acts in a different order it would seem stronger. Think that's what they are doing?

Gossard Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I'm not really a fan, but I've never seen them so I'm quite happy with this announcement. We think this is a dance-act, not a real headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are headlining, at least co-headlining (as Thursday is traditionally a strong day in Werchter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris0624 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Well chuffed with Gorillaz. Probably the late night slot? Like 1-3am? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We think this is a dance-act, not a real headliner? There's as dance-act as Kings Of Leon last/this year. They're co-headlining with something else. I think we can expect max 2 more names before tickets go on sale (so probably one of the Friday headliners, since PJ is rumoured to headline Saturday) and then another act. I'd put my money on The Killers (for Friday) but since they still have a concert in March, I think it'll be The XX (Sunday) and something else.

McCallion Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I could see them putting Gorillaz on as a late night act, same way we had Kings Of Leon after Arcade Fire last year in a co-headliner structure. Either way good booking, never seen them before, exciting stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the day, I'd never pay to see a Gorillaz stadium show so it's cool that they're on at a fest I'll be going to anyway. Rather see something new than Kings Of Leon for the millionth time, even if it's a little bit shitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visdave34 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Saw Gorillaz in Amsterdam yesterday, great show. Really pleased to see them booked for RW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2p2 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Im not a big fan but Ill be happy to try them as I love Damon Albarn. Gorrilaz might be easy to sell to a Thursday headliner that they are playing after him as a party act. Of course in order to do that RW have to go back and finish on Thursday around 02:00-02:30, unlike last year. We all know that the Thursday is the hardest day to sell, so unless they're bringing an act like Netsky as main stage closer, I'd say a big headliner still about to come. Can't see Gorrilaz plus one of QOTSA/The National/the xx sell Thursday. Edited November 22, 2017 by e2p2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom_Zone Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 Give me RTJ and Biffy this year and I'll be delighted...anything else is icing on the cake! This year seemed crazy busy compared to 2016 but the new bar was perfect for times the Barn was packed out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossard Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I think we're still missing a headliner, at least a co-headliner, on the Thursday. RW have always had a strong headliner and a dance-act after since I started going in 2009....except this year when we had two strong co-headliners...2009: Oasis - The Prodigy2010: Muse - Faithless2011: QOTSA - Linkin Park - The Chemical Brothers2012: The Cure - Justice2013: Green Day - Netsky Live2014: Metallica - Skrillex2015: Foo Fighters* - The Chemical Brothers2016: Paul McCartney - Disclosure2017: Arcade Fire - King of Leon *Foo Fighters canceled and Faith no More played instead, but majority of the tickets (all?) were sold when people thought Foos was headlining.
