Rock Werchter 2018

[august1]

Definitely doesn't fit the undercard for the day. I'm expecting more youthful acts rather than heritage for Friday 

[JayBeeis]

Anyone else looking at the Mad Cool announcements going on? I'm doing it to look at what we should expect to be getting in our next announcements

Would absolutely love for Ben Howard to show up, would be incredible in the barn

There's a good chance for him to show up especially since he cancelled last time in 2015 due to illness. He was supposed to play on the main stage though.

Seen him both inside and outside and given the tone of his more recent stuff I think he'd be much much better in the Barn.

I agree, he was excellent in the Barn in 2013.

From the new names added to Mad Cool today, I'd love to see Underworld, Slaves Jet, Deaf Havana, Post Malone and Goat Girl added

Correct, they're at Tomorrowland. My bad

Never posted here, but a regular viewer since the first time I went to RW, six years ago, I keep thinking about something: 

Is it just nonsense hoping for Manic Street Preachers this year? 

They just annonced a festival in July (in UK, but still...)

Well, they do play festivals but I'm not so sure about them playing Werchter. Don't think they have ever played at the festival. I would love them to though:)

They were in the line up back in 1999 but they canceled their show very last minute. (Maybe that's why they never stood there again?) As a teenager it was one of the bands on my list that year. Since then I saw them twice, last time in Brussels in 2016, and they were absolutely great. So i'm still hope they ever play RW again (just like Smashing Pumpkins, Live and Moby). I'm getting nostalgic

I'm with you on Smashing Pumpkins, Live and Moby...throw in Alice in Chains too and the nostalgia is complete

Well, Live are playing Bosspop in Holland a week after RW. Manics are great live, saw them last year at Mad Cool.

Editors, The National, Kraftwerk and dEUS for TW Classic. Damn.

I would love to see them as well. I'd have a very nostalgic sing along with the older songs;)

That's a good lineup. I wonder if they will sell the ~65k tickets though, I'll be very impressed if they do.

That irony, when you see these band play "classic" and Nick Cave, David Byrne, Pearl Jam and Nine Inch Nails are on the normal werchter.

Classic in the way the festival works, one day, one stage.
