The Barn is the biggest tent (20+ capacity) with some seating places. The Klub C is a little bit smaller but still big tent. Both big stages. Then you have the Slope which a way smaller stage outdoor. For both indoor stages, you have a system at the doors where they don't let you enter when the tent is full. And you have to wait that some people left before you can enter.
A WHOLE 20+ people!? 😲

They cancelled last-minute in 2022 but they were sub of Metallica. They soldout Forest National in Brussels on their recent arena tour a few weeks ago (8k people). But in 2022, they were booked above Lewis Capaldi who soldout SportPaleis (24k capacity). Si I guess if they're coming back, they gonna sub for Kravitz. I hope we gonna have an announcement at 4pm today!
And thank f**k because Turnstile f**king knocked it out of the Festival Park.

Oh, man. Being over the week before for Q&AL in Antwerp, then all the matches in the 2018 WC, was such a f**king great time.
That night in Brussels after the Japan match.

Ah, sure look. We'll all go and have a nice wonder around for a few days.

God, that Sum 41 gig was so much fun. What a great time for such an early time.

Down the Rabbit Hole on Friday 5.
Beauregard on Saturday 6
Looks more and more unlikely unless they're subbing Pearl Jam on Thursday. Still don't see them playing the Barn. But in any case they would need to play 3 days in a row.
They're playing Live is Live in my opinion.
Seen that. Dammit to that anyway

Just gimme LCD Soundsystem. Plz.

Jungle Juice? That's a new one on this elderly man.
I don't exactly remember what it was called. It was orange, in a jug and was delightful!

Less Beer, More jugs of jungle juice from Bacardi 👽

Me and my pillow are still trying to process this, but are still unable too. I've said a long time that festivals this size will slowly die, expecting smaller and more genre based festivals taking over within the next 10 year period, but now it seems it might be happening quicker than I anticipated. Not just because of Dua Lipa/Måneskin, but a previous poster had a good point in stating that the lack of headliners means promoter needs to spread them out more, making most festivals weaker and it harder to find a stellar line up. That will again slowly kill the bigger and most expensive ones as people lose their trust in them coming up with great line-ups.
RW has probably done a smart thing, putting them in on Friday/Saturday which will probably sell out anyway, but I will be really eager to see the amount of people turning up for these concerts. I don't mind fresher acts to take over, if they manage to pack the field and sell out, good on them, but I'm amazed if these will. It would have been interesting to see a Thursday based on Måneskin headlining. I've always said that I don't care much about the headliners and I still don't, as it means I can head home earlier, but they are still the ones inflating the ticket cost. So if the undercards becomes the main event, there will be many opportunities to see them at other festivals at a much lower price.
Anyway, I'm in my grumpy mid 40's, so even though I see myself with many years of festival life still left in me, maybe I'm not in RW's target audience anymore. In that case it will be interesting to see the revenue flow on those festivals when the crowd becomes much younger. That has at least killed a few festivals in my home country as they don't spend as much on-site. I guess the next headliner and the first undercards will show. If there's one thing we know it is that the wind has a tendency to change it's direction quickly 😉
Well, that's a bit of a grim outlook. Happy Friday, at least!(?)

I don't know who I need to strangle if RW confirms Dua Lipa when they could have booked Green Day.

Blink will still come over for Reading/Leeds and a few others in Europe.
Its still mentally earlier for announcements for European festivals as well, not even November. We know Green Day are coming over as well. I'd imagine Fall Out Boy will be over. We have the biggest festivals announcing next week as well.Have some patience!
Aren't FOB touring EU right now?

So Blink 182 is out of equation. Pity as I was hoping to catch them at Werchter.
Just seen it there! Dammit anyway!

After they cancelled the Dublin show and haven't bothered to address it since. I was SO pissed, but I would definitely take them at Werchter. Weezer, Sum 41 and Blink. Fantastic. I don't care where on the card. Just hook it to my veins.

I can't ever see anything at Werchter beating that run of Linkin Park, SOAD Blink. They were essentially 3rd down unless you count the top two as co-headliners? They all had different set lengths though. It's the year I wish i did Werchter but it's just to close after Glastonbury recovery and committing to a European Festival too. I'm kinda coming off my camping days haha
Don't forget Jimmy Eat World as well! Such a good run!
Bumped into 2 lads from Iran in the pit and some way, somehow they had a bottle of Paddy on them. I'll never forget it.

I wouldn't have touched 2022 personally, Thursday and Friday were pretty terrible for me. I do know of people saying it was turning rock pop than rock though.
I can see RAR being in the mix for me too as nothing clashes with it this year as apposed to moves due to the the world cup last year.
Great stuff
I've gone 1 or 2 years only liking less than a handful of bands just because I know I'd have fun regardless basically. Its a great time. 🤷♂️
