I have asked myself the same thing in the past. The concept of having a party headliner at the end of the day was great. It could be for organisational reasons and specific agreements they've made with the local public administration but most probably it's for budget reasons. Maybe the cost/reward ratio wasn't good for them.
I certainly hope it'd come back one day though.
Correct.
Cost/reward ratio based (security costs are immense, Staff that has to work 4 days with less sleep, consumption is declining sharply vs drunk noisy people that hang around longer, ...).
+ It makes agreements with the local administration easier. -

The Prodigy are playing Ireland 28-30 June and are indeed probably too big for the remaining slots.
The Mars Volta will be there I think. M83 and Franz Ferdinand are also plausible.
We should also expect more Belgian names so maybe one/some of: Hooverphonic, dEUS, Brutus, Balthazar, Triggerfinger.
Also a possibility: Rival Sons (new album out in June), The Voidz, Madrugada.
dEUS and Balthazar will play Live /s Live. Triggerfinger will play their 3 last shows with Monsieur Paul in June (AB and 2 NL shows), so no RW i guess. Brutus is not on. I have no news from Hooverphonic but don't see them playing yet.

Which makes me think they deliberately hide the schedule as much as possible.
They have communicated that 25K tickets were sold for Encore whereas the stage and only holds 20K people. Pretty fishy.
There is still a huge difference between the communicated 25K and the real sales.
Let's call the 25K very optimistic. I mean VERY VERY optimistic. -

On my account I had only a QR code and then, when I tape to print my collector ticket, the file that it downloaded is not a valid ticket. That's why I had second thoughts if we are going to receive new one. Here is the answer of Ticketmaster's support.
If you wanne see the first bands, make sure you are on time at the Ticketmaster BO.
You will have to pass 2 queues: The one at the Ticketmaster BO to reprint the tickets (can take a while, especialy the first day) and the normal entrance queue when you have the new tickets. -
Encore is a disaster.

Anyone remembers when shuttle buses start driving to Leuven on Monday morning? I'm thinking about 7:40 am plane home from Zaventem so I'd have to be on the bus at 6 am...
Past years from 6 am. But even with a shuttle at 6 am it will be a serious deadline to catch a plane at 7:40 am in Zaventem.
Shuttle RW - Leuven
Train Leuven - Zaventem
Check in + airport security (Monday moring = business people + start holidays)

Hi!!! I have a question about how to get to the festival. I am flying to brussels on the 29th (I bought the early access ticket for the hive) and I understood that there is a free train/bus to the festival, I don't know if it was from Brussels or from Leuven. Does anyone have any information about this?
Take the (free) train from Brussles to Leuven, and than the festival free shuttle from Leuven to Werchter.
Attention:
1) You have to download your free trainticket with the NMBS code (your festivalticket is not a trainticket). Every ticket includes a train trip from any Belgian railway station to Leuven and back.
2) In case you travel from or to Brussels airport (you do!) you have to pay an extra Diabolo Fee. This is not included in the free train ticket.-

The brainstorm at the office was funny.
"From now on we gonna work with themes. The kids will like that. Any ideas?"
"ANIMALS!"
"Cool. We book the apes, the impalas and that guy with his wolf."
"But what with Editors?"
"The Racing Rats, Papillon,..."
"OK, make an extra day."-

So what about Wilco and Marc Rebillet from the former lineup?
And do we have any chance, to see The Jesus and Mary Jane? Or Pavement for all the cancelled bands?
Don't think they will book Pavement upcoming year(s)

Massive Attack are in Nimes/France on July 4th. They would make an amazing addition for Saturday and they haven't played RW for ages (last time was 2003 I think?). I've seen them live many times and they are always simply awesome - no exceptions!
Since Gorillaz are out 😔 can one still dream about RATM, TOOL or SOAD? I know, I know...wishful thinking!
@Ken19 Do you maybe know if there is a reason why RW is not looking at Massive Attack for so long? (or isn't RW green enough according to their standards?)
It has something to do with 'green', but not that green 🙂

Was supposed to go in 2020 so would like to see Volbeat and Placebo back on the bill behind Metallica.
I'm gonna assume Pixies are opening for PJ and The Strokes are opening for RHCP unless there's something I've missed.
Would love to see Tame Impala next to 21 Pilots that day if Kendrick isn't coming back.
Placebo is already ruled out

But…. Normally the second TW Classic was planned to be announced by the end of June… no idea why they didn’t do it.
No panic. That decision had been made for a while to wait.

No sarcasm, I'm talking about "big" names for headline.. I saw The who, Depeche mode, Robert Plant, The Cure, New order, Neil Young, Nick Cave etc.. at Werchter, I just ask if the Guns or name like Elton John can complete de line up..
They are solids acts.
For Elton John the answer is no for 2022 and in future.
Guns not gonna happen in 2022. -

Yeah, they received a lot of criticism. I think that they changed their original plan. That is good news.
