I did too, but every RW regular got the chance to see them co-headlining in 4 out of 6 past editions. In the off-RW years they've played in PKP.

Also see above, probably more likely for TW Classic. But they are not really headlining Pinkpop, Bruno Mars is headlining that Sunday.

Boss89 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Not really... Even Black Eyed Peas headlined TW Classic once... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2p2 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Jack White tour announced with shows in UK, NL and France only (ends on 4/7 in FR). Nailed on for the Friday I guess. Edited January 16, 2018 by e2p2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietediet Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 David Byrne self-confirmed on his website. That and the Jack White tour dates. Hard to believe that there wouldn't be an announcement this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I didnt go last year, the overall opinion here on Alt-j and James Blake as subs in daylight were pretty negative. I cant compare the appeal of those vs. London Grammar in Belgium because I have no information but I think that being on that stage in daylight with their kind of music with many Arctic Monkeys or Jack White fans wont benefit them. They seem to me perfect for the Barn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAlex Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 At least we're back up and running again! Last year once the announcements started again in January they were every week without fail until the full poster was out so hopefully the same again! I can't help but think they could've been announced weeks ago though... but maybe this means we'll be getting another one Friday, possibly a name they couldn't announce today... Jack Whites meant to be announced for Mad Cool tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Whites meant to be announced for Mad Cool tomorrow I was thinking the same. Very bizarre that we couldn't have had a Friday name before Christmas.

visdave34 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) They were scheduled to be announced on December 8, that date was still above the news item on the RW website this morning (for a short while).

neacaisa Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 yeah, i think they can easily sub, or at least 3rd down. i don't think they will put them in the tents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what went wrong... Not sure of that would be of an influence, but in early december front woman Hannah Reid was ill (a rather persistent tonsilitis). So maybe they didn't want to announce new dates while they had to cancel some gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed how poor Alt-J were last year, had to restart 3 songs because they got it wrong if memory serves, and this was all to a crowd of Foo Fighter fans! The worst scheduling ever!

I cant remember Alt J that seems like a good thing, think I was just excited to see the Foo's as I hadnt seen them before, RW this year is my secondary festival, I am more looking forward to Graspop anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnytee1 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 The largest problem that Werchter have this year is that many people are looking for that "ONE" European festival to go to. I know its not always the case and many people travel to lots of festivals but Mad Cool has sold out, at the same time Werchter have announced 5 bands. I wanted to go to Werchter, I love the festival, i love the people and i love the set up but i can only afford to do one festival and all of my mates decided to go to Mad Cool, i had a choice, go with them or go on my own to Werchter. I had no option but to choose my friends. I know Werchter is a great festival but to only have announced 5 bands whilst other festivals have sold out might not exactly be commercial suicide, it's not the brightest move I've seen. It will still be a great festival and i wish everyone the best who goes, stay cool and have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
