I fell in love for Rock Werchter 15 years ago just because they book diverse. The run of Slayer - Jay-Z - The Verve - Neil Young - Moby on the main stage was magical. And what was the last truly big rock headliner that could headline Rock Werchter? Arctic Monkeys, who are around since 2005? 😅 The big new headliners are not to be found in what you call "rock". Good music is good music. I loved the 2020 set of headliners for instance. Going from The Strokes to SOAD to Kendrick Lamar to Faith No More to 21 Pilots to Pearl Jam. But maybe I am too naive to think that most people enjoy a lot of kinds of music.

Ok, you may be on to something, but wasnt it confirmed Tool will not be touring next year? I can actually see AF playing 2 dates in Spain too...

I woud love Jay Z to make a return to RW. His 2008 show is not only one of the best hiphop shows I have seen, but als one of the best shows I have ever seen at Rock Werchter.

QOTSA into AM is something you will see a couple of times this summer though (Opener, Rock Werchter). Can see them doing this combo at Glasto as well.

Why Tool? I thing the mirror/reflections are key.

I love to have a lot of variety between the headliners. (And between the editions of RW too, wich is why the current headliners arent doing it for me so far...)

The new hint screams Arcade Fire, right? The WE logo, Reflektor, Black Mirror.

I can see Rosalia playing after RHCP, a bit like Stromae playing after The Strokes / The War on Drugs.

For Primavera? 😅 Why not book David Guetta while we’re at it.

Yawn

Guess we will know more next week.

I actually think its Queens before the Monkeys. Just like at Rock Werchter.

Sweet.

Can’t see an Opener headliner play the Barn actually. She’ll be subbing, I guess. Maybe before the Stromae - X combo or whoever is playing on Friday.

Bjork would be crazy. In a good way.

To be fair, that poster is even bigger than any 3 days of this years lineup. Kendrick, Blur and Depeche Mode are also a very expensive trio. That fake poster would hands down be the biggest lineup of the year if that one turned out to be true.

It is never going to be THIS stacked ofc.

Pulp into bjork into Kendrick. 😍 I cant believe this lineup though. It is way too stacked.

What. Those are polar opposites.

If they have Depeche Mode, Kendrick Lamar and Blur on 1 lineup, then it’ll be hard to top that for me, lineup wise.

We already got Muse from 2019 and QOTSA and AM from 2018. Plus Stromae with the exact same show on the same stage 2 years in a row. Let the remaining headliners be a but more unique please. (I say this as a fan of The Cure, mind.)

Only the first day yeah, but I loved the fest as a first time goer. Never saw so many good shows in such a short tineframe.

That playlist has enough headliners for 3 editions of Primavera Sound. It is only 3 days this year, not 6.

I actually enjoyed The 1975 much more than I enjoyed The Black Keys when I saw them.

It all has to happen within the next 2 weeks. Tight.
