I was actually hoping for some smaller/newer metal acts like Architects or Gojira. Is Metallica headlining making them more or less likely?
I do think the festival should look to branch out with the undercard. Get some mix of metal/hip-hop/electro to spice things up and don't just overload with pop/soft-rock/indie which most days usually get on the main stage. If for example there was a decent metal band in the undercard on each day, it would get the SOAD crowd interested anyway and maybe give a chance to Kendrick instead of having to get Metallica to headline to attract those people. Same thing for Kendrick fans if they had other artists over the weekend and not just depending on one name.

Maybe TOP could "co-head" with PJ or RHCP? Or maybe Kendrick could, if available?

Strong bet I think.
Even the Gojira part?
-
Placebo - Royal Blood - RHCP would be excellent final day for me. Fingers crossed.
And maybe get Gojira for real this time
-
Definitely hoping for Tame Impala, but could it also be Foals? Would be excellent to get both.

@P.bintein said that RB and NBT are the biggest new rock bands, not the best ones...
For example, bands that reelased their debut album in the last 5/6 years, Greta Van Fleet subbed Rock Wechter in 2019 and Prophets Of Rage subbed Mad Cool or Pukkelpop in 2019.
I think that NBT can’t take such a high slots in European festivals nowadays.
On the other side, I agree with RB being of the biggest new rock bands at the moment, but I am not sure if they are big enough to sub a festival as Rock Werchter.
Fair enough, to me it read like @FloorFiller is implying that, but maybe he wasn't. Anyway, Greta is a good shout I think, though weren't people complaining about them subbing too? Prophets of Rage were fourth down and mainly on the popularity of 90s songs/bands, so they are a different case.

If this was true, which it isn’t, then fucking hell is rock music in a dire place right now.
Hmm, I'll take the bait - name a few bigger rock bands that released their debut in the last 5-6 years that you consider better?
-
Well, having seen both, Gorillaz is an improvement over Kendrick for me. And generally seems a decent change if we assume Kendrick wasn't coming - would fit well with TOP.
Also very happy with Royal Blood and Nothing But Thieves. Now lets hope SOAD returns or we get a heavy replacement (Slipknot, Tool, RATM, Rammstein). And also RHCP would be ideal, while i'm at it. 😀
-
So @Ken19 were the final 2 big names for RW20 The Weeknd (sub) and Royal Blood (Barn) ?
Edit: Ah nevermind, misread the year.

I was stupid at first and making jokes of corona, but people, you need to calm down about lineups in 2021.
Vaccine will not come before april 2021 so we can't be sure what will happen with festivals in 2021. I hope I'm wrong but I think I'm not.
Agreed. The situation should be taken step by step, but there's no harm in hoping for good lineups. It was pretty clear by the time the virus exploded in Italy late February/early March that this year was off. And the virus might not be fully resolved by next year, but chances are good we'll have our festivals back if they survive this year financially.
-
Sweet. Make some small rearrangements and let's make this happen. 😀
Pearl Jam - FNM - Royal Blood
The Strokes - Tame Impala - Noel Gallagher
System - NIN - Placebo
Kendrick - TOP - Anderson Paak
RATM - The Weeknd - Run the Jewels

But it does mean they are probably still alive, which is a good sign overall 😀

Guys, I don't think you need to attack or downvote anyone who makes a joke about Ken. Yes, we all like him and he provides good info sometimes, but this forum is for everyone else too. Ken is a big boy, I'm sure he can handle mild sarcasm.
And for RW, I would imagine the next month is pretty much wait and see. Things can go in both directions for now and I doubt any big co-headlining artist will be booking festivals in the meantime.

Not to argue or anything, but if the borders are closed it doesn't really matter what the festival organisers say about the situation. You can see what is already happening to events in Italy and other countries.
Fingers crossed for the best though, we all want a great festival.

While She Sleeps headlining the Slope on Friday would basically fix that day.
-
Btw, what are the chances of a festival cancelation right now or if the coronavirus situation gets more serious? I mean fingers crossed all is well, but I'm sure it's becoming a concern.
-
is Archive headlining the Barn on the Friday?

I'd say more than 3/4 perhaps 8/9 maybe haha!
Yeah. Add another 10-15 small names next week + Post Malone and it should be complete.
-
So what are we thinking now - is that officially a 'no' for Gojira (and While She Sleeps)?

if they don't sell out a day out of 4 it's not that bad.
Agree. And the guys said to lower your expectations multiple times. That's why i'm not having much hope for Massive Attack either for example.
My only remaining hope is they actually add Gojira and/or maybe other smaller heavy bands to spice-up the first couple of days.
And if KoL are the only 'big' option left just promote someone else to a co-head (and not Liam... ) . Get Royal Blood. Though I'm assuming they would prefer a female artist, if any.
-
The most interesting question is if we are getting a co-head with The Strokes. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Strokes - Liam - Lewis Capaldi are the final 3 on the Main that day.

Hey folks. Based on reading this, does it not look like that rw have already announced all their headliners?
Most likely, yes. We are probably waiting for a few mid-sized acts though.
-
Any hope of mixing it up with some heavier bands like Gojira or While She Sleeps?

So, gun to your head, how many more headliners/subs do you think are still to come?
Maybe 1 sub for Thursday.
1 co-head and 1 sub for Friday.
1 co-head for Sunday.

Rock Werchter 2022

Put Royal Blood before Pearl Jam, remove Imagine Dragons and put TOP in their place and it looks somewhat realistic.
