Jessie Ware and Tems added to the line-up!
-
No I was not at the front of the gig and attended Way Out West in Sweden. But I definitely agree with your point regarding MTV vs Spotify.
-
I´d say people listen more to Spotify than the radio these days. I saw Blur in a festival last summer and the audience could sing along to at least half of the songs. Doubt Sziget will book them though.
-
No, Blur have at least 6-7 hits outside the UK that I can think of. I think it's more likely instead that Coachella had a dull crowd.
-
+ AIR!
-
Thanks for the info! I think the ban on bags will also include festivals but as far as I know there is no official ban on bringing drinks to the stage. I was at a football game in Stockholm a few weeks ago and there you could bring beer into the arena (but no bags) so hopefully we can still drink beer in front of the stage at WOW.
-
More names (more electronic stuff this time around) - Chase & Status dj-set - Overmono - Bibi Seck - Yung Singh - Eris Drew & Octo Octa - Karen Nyame KG
-
I agree! I also miss Alvvays, Bloc Party, Blondshell Two Door Cinema club and (dare I say), Coldplay.
-
Another batch of names: - Andre 3000 - Thee Sacred souls - Elmiene - Muva of earth
-
Friday is sold out (finally).
-
More names added: - Ellen Krauss - Nation of Language - Blondshell - Glass Beams - Serpentwithfeet
-
It doesn´t seem like Friday tickets are selling out fast after all. Werchter announced last call for Friday tickets 2 weeks ago but they are still selling them.
-
New acts announced + day splits: M.I.A., Refused, Saint Levant and the Heavy.
-
Finally seems like they will announce more acts tomorrow judging by their facebook post.
-
Hopefully you can do it another year instead. I agree about the line up vs RW (which surprised me too being a long-time Werchter fan). But judging from neighboring festivals WoW might get the likes of Fountaines DC, Idles, the Kills, Yard Act etc.
-
I agree! The Thursday alone makes it worth attending. Also they haven't announced that many so far so I think there's good chances for more nice bands.
-
New names: Wednesday, Markus Krunegård, Augustine, Amaarae and Barry Can´t Swim.
-
Good news! Will they announce the concert times at the same time?
-
They have announced the day splits now. Thursday looks best for my taste: QOTSA, PJ Harvey, Big Thief and The Smile. Also, it looks like one more big band could fit on Saturday since the National is the only "big" artist that plays that day.
-
I don´t have any info but Stockholm cancelled their Lollapalooza this year. Not sure how the various Lolla´s are dependent on each other though.
-
I agree with everything you said. Of course it´s Werchter and there will be many good things to see but I still feel very let down that they missed so many good acts this year: The Smile, Arcade Fire, Massive attack, Prodigy, the National, Lana del Rey, Pulp etc. My daughter really wants to see Måneskin and Dua Lipa so I will go to Werchter regardless for 2 days this year and then go to Way Out West as a bonus;)
-
Some nice names for me with Johnny Marr, Frank Carter and Pretenders. Thursday looks really good now. Edit: the new poster looks like this:
-
For me it's the opposite. I think this is the best WOW-line up in at least a decade. I'm especially keen on seeing Queens of the stone age, The Smile, PJ Harvey, Pulp, the National, Slow Dive and Big Thief.
-
Slowdive, L’Impératrice, Alvvays and Tkay Maidza added to the lineup!
-
Probably the case, but normally Werchter don´t bump a band 4 spots up just because they are doing a farewell tour. At least I haven´t experienced any similar situation since I started going to the festival in 2008. Anyway, hopefully there are nice bands in the Barn instead.
