  1. Tin foil hat time: I think Pearl Jam get announced today, because the intel has them as 'playing two festivals'. Many people have believed this is Mad Cool and Nos Alive, but Nos doesn't always have the bigger bands from Mad Cool and vice versa. Nos just announced The Breeders this morning, and I think it's unlikely they'd announce them the same day a couple of hours earlier than a major headliner. Plus, I can't see Pearl Jam playing Europe and skipping Werchter.

    We'll see soon enough I suppose...

    According to this, Turnstile and Limpbizkit (both rumoured for RW) will be at Graspop next summer:

    This is a solid rock/metal line up to be fair to them. Wonder if this means we're getting Evanescence next year? Noticed that they're about and was expecting them to be a logo band here.

    The best case scenario for me in terms of co-headliner is if we got Queens of the stone age, Massive Attack or Arcade Fire. One of the co-headliners might be wasted on Sam Smith though. 

    Forgot about him, I’m praying that if he was going to be here he would be in the Barn opposite Foos or something

    I'm interested specifically in Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Tame Impala, Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails

    It’s been mentioned but I think only Massive Attack has a realistic chance out of those for one reason or another. 

    Pearl Jam tour comes out Monday apparently so we’ll see if they’re here then, but as it’s been suggested it feels like Werchter might be looking at the likes of Arcade Fire, KOL, QOTSA again to make fairly solid days of two or three bigger bands at the top of the main stage rather than a mega headliner each day

    I agree! For me, it would be extremely weird if Khruangbin and Sum 41 are subbing the main headliner since Khruangbin played in the afternoon in Klub C in 2019 and Sum 41 played around lunch in 2022. 

    Yeah very strange indeed. I feel like perhaps they're headlining Klub C or the Barn and they've been put here to reflect that?

    Odd indeed. We might still get a sub but that would push Avril to 4th down which seems… very low. 

    Unless she’s headlining the Barn.

    But that would not make sense as she’s a perfect 7-8pm act for that Saturday in my opinion.

    Totally, agree, Avril as 3rd down is a great booking. Perhaps a weak sub but considering how infrequently she tours/plays but it could be viable. 7-8pm when the beer is just starting to hit and we're all shouting the lyrics to 'Sk8r boi' though...

    Fun fact: Parkway Drive also confirmed themselves today for the Thursday but they are not in the official announcement. The Friday looks really good but I hope Sum 41 are not the sub. Love them, I know it's farewell tour but it would still be cheap for a festival like RW. On the poster, all headliners are alone. Did they change their design or are we really missing a co-headline everday?! 

    That's strange about PD but I would expect them there now. Think we've lost Limp Bizkit to the Saturday of Graspop sadly but was hoping they would turn up here. Totally agree about Sum 41, think it would be a very weak sub, especially to what is probably the weakest headliner there. 

    Yes I was also curious if there was more to be added to the top line, wonder if @Ken19 is able to shed any light/drop any hints?

  7. Out of that I would watch every band they've added to the Thursday, Bad Omens and The Beaches (!!! who have just recently got into these last few weeks but Blame My Ex is one of my favourite albums this year, buzzing about that), The Kooks and Arlo Parks on Saturday and Jungle and The Breeders on the Sunday. 

    For as weak as the top is this year, undercard is shaping up amazingly for me.

    Apparently GVF has self confirmed for 4th July

    That's a great addition for me; saw them in Manchester a couple of weeks back and they look every inch a big band now. Difficult one to place though, playing lower slots at Pinkpop this year but headlining Tons of Rock. Interesting to see if they're the headliner or if they're on before Kravitz and someone else. 

    Also wonder if this means an announcement is due?

    IMO it was one of the best editions undercard-wise.
    Something for everyone: indie-rock, punk-rock, alternative metal, hip hop, EDM...

    That's aged quite well looking at it but I'm sure I remember it getting absolutely torn apart on here when it was getting announced

    Any chance of Greta Van Fleet? Pretty sure there was on the line-up of the Covid cancellation year?

    Headlining Tons of Rock in Oslo on the Saturday so I think that rules them out as they hardly ever play back to back due to the strain on Josh's voice.

  11. RHCP just announced a tour of North America finishing July 30th. Wonder if they then come to Europe for the festivals around here in August/September?

    Don’t think a run of Sziget, Pukkelpop, Lowlands, Electric Picnic, Cala Mijas and Kalorama is beyond the realms of possibility

    Not the best schedule. Remember London Grammar being shockingly empty during Belgium/Brazil in 2018.

    My word, the party in Klub C during Franz Ferdinand 5 minutes after the full time whistle went is among the best atmospheres I've ever been in for a show ever.
