Is Adele a possibility? She's just announced a few shows in August in Munich and alludes to a big summer with shows closer to home? I think her residency in Las Vegas finishes mid June too 🤔
From what I read seems to be an exclusive one-off but one can hope!

Next you’ll be saying refreshing manually more than every 20 seconds shouldn’t be allowed.
You don't wait for the auto-refresh? You inhuman disgrace!

I think we'll stick to what we did last year. Arrive Tuesday night around 00:00, overnight in the car until morning. Then either wait for the queue to calm down or just give it a crack and go ahead and queue with everyone at PGA or PGD. Will for sure still aim for Bushy, had a nice spot close to water and toilets, not too busy and most of the times we ended up at Silver Hayes or Arcadia as a close.

As Romy's there, I was expecting him to bring her out for this one.
Romy doesn’t even sing in her own sets, I’d be amazed if she’d do it for Fred’s

I don't know what this thread was orginally called, but if it had the word Efests in the title, it would imply to me that it was an official meet - especially as it has the words 'Traditional' included in the first post and is due to be held in the same place, day and time as other meets organised by Neil in the past. Neil is obviously very protective of the brand he's created and built up over many years so I can understand why he's kicked off (I'd be prettty pissed off myself to be honest). Maybe if the thread title had contained the word 'Unoffical' and held somewhere else, it mght have made it clear it wasn't anything organised by Neil.
None of the above give anyone the right to kick off against so many people even if you have created the community. Communities don't revolve around a person, they are about the community itself. Actual good leaders would know that 🙂
In any case, as a first-timer I'm quite shocked by all of this but will go to the "Unofficial, organized by Crazyfool on the tradition of the forum created by neil, meetup of eFestival people & fans".

Hi! First year for me as my mates secretly organized this as a bachelor-party/pre-wedding gift. Looking forward after reading a lot of pages so far, seems like it's going to be quite the experience!

Unpopular opinion: Arctic Monkeys were amazing the last time at Rock Werchter and the crowd was the one that sucked because they only wanted to hear Do I Wanna Know on repeat
I do agree that part of them never being too good in Werchter or Pukkelpop is simply because we’re not fully their type of audience here in Belgium. It’s like Herman Schueremans said, Belgians ease into the concert slowly but when you have them they give you all. Bands that need the energy more to bring energy into a crowd (AM for example) will always have a harder time in Belgium than bands that feed energy and then enjoy together (Coldplay for example). For the first type of band it’s always hit or miss at Belgian festivals, of which Gorillaz was another example this summer. With other crowds I indeed see this happening less, of which Sziget is a nice example.

And they were terribly boring at Pukkelpop too. Lots of people leaving, Alex was definitely not in the mood which happens more often than not. Also didn’t sell their day out on a smaller festival than Werchter. For me they don’t have to be there at all as it won’t be a convincing name for many who saw them at Werchter or Pukkelpop already.

Don't think McCartney is that huge of a ticket seller. Didn't even sell out his day at RW16 actually.
My GF didn't even go to see Paul, just went home. Still makes me cry when I think about it. But for a lot of people he remains the guy that plays the guitar on FourFiveSeconds. 😢

Hi guys!
As much as it pains me, I've decided not to go this year. After two years of COVID, commitments like weddings, stags etc have stacked up into a very busy Summer 2022! I know I'm not entitled to a refund, so what's the best way to sell my Combo + Hive Camping ticket? Any ideas on second hand prices?
Cheers.
Ticketswap, they'll be gone in under a minute for anything below 300.

Last time they played (literally the most recent RW edition), it was not so good.
It’s known that they had a shit slot for Alt J and they were crazily nervous. They had to restart 2-3 songs that set out of nervousness. Their Barn show on the other hand was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen and expect them to redeem themselves there this summer.

Looking at the time quickly, my doubts are:
TWOD or Black Pumas ? Greta Van Fleet or ALT-J ? Lewis Capaldi or Sam Fender? I also don't agree with certain things about the schedule, it should be like this:
Moderat at the end of the Metallica concert
Bicep at the end of the ID concerts
Lost Frequency at the end of the RHCP concertHey! Have exactly the same clashes!
We're going to do Black Pumas (maybe not fully) then final of TWOD, ALT J (they are a blast in the Barn, uncomparable with their mainnstage set), Sam Fender (because he'll be huge later and seeing him in the barn will be amazing). -

For my Festileaks people. Stacked was Werchter in general, including day events. And with Qotsa, FNM, The Streets… and some others who cancelled 😳.
Every festival was losing some important names, that is why a couple of names moved from RW to Cactus or the wait for Dour.
So you'll tell us the surprise already to make up for it? 🤩

I'm still saying Biffy Clyro are a shout to replace Faith No More but Liam Gallagher is more likely.
Biffy Clyro can come open the main if they want. 3rd highest spot on the main would make absolutely zero sense in Belgium and specifically on Rock Werchter.

If specific governments fail to let events proceed, I'll just set my sights abroad to see where I can have some fun. From what I read Exit festival was terrifically organised with I believe one case of coronavirus contamination. Lollapalooza just had a huge festival in Chicago, and Guns N' Roses are doing a stadium tour in the US.
We're going to Untold Festival in Romania. Went on a big European festival discovery tour on Google after Pukkelpop cancelled. A bit like Exit combined with Tomorrowland and Sziget from what we've seen but have never been there before. A mix of dance, techno, drum & bass, pop etc. Not 100% my kind of festival, but seems like quite the party!

You do understand there are only 4 bands on the bill already, right? The reality is that they don't want to pay ridiculous sums to bands they don't think represent the RW festival theme. The name has "ROCK" in it, if they went to Megan Thee Stallion/Kendrick/etc as their main headliners, the festival might sell the same number of tickets and completely lose its historical stature.
There will be PLENTY of youth-facing acts in the 4 day lineup. There will be rappers, dance acts, pop bands... and more old people with guitars. There are literally HUNDREDS of festivals with 3/4 of the headliners being people who were in high school in 2015, that doesn't need to be EVERY festival.
RW will be packed with folks who want to see this lineup.
Geez, totally missing the point. I’ve been going to RW for over 10 years now and go because of the fact it was always so diverse and not “because the name says rock”. Going from stage to stage and ending up at the main with a nice and different closer of the day.
Just said that with the names already announced, the names at Primavera and Mad Cool, Werchter should stay diverse and go for other headliners than GNR and Elton John to also give big names to another audience that they also cater too. Tame Impala, Jamie XX, Flume, Jorja Smith, Disclosure, Tyler The Creator, Lorde, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Kendrick and many more can and are clearly able to take these spots worldwide.
Rock Werchter is a festival that showcases relevant mainstream music from now and the past across generations and genres. And it won’t lose it in the next years because their booking is (mostly) spot on. I just really really don’t understand why we want more of the same old when music is so diverse nowadays. So yes. My place is at RW and I’ll for sure stand for that diverse festival it is and will be in the future.

Jan Jambon doesn’t see any issue with festivals happening in Belgium following the guidelines of full vaccination or testing. End of July 80 percent of Flemish residents will be fully vaccinated so he does not see a problem with festivals like PKP happening. A bit of light in the dark tunnel that is currently the Netherlands and their festivals, which apparently isn’t going to have a big impact on PKP.
PKP spokesperson also said a possible cancellation of Lowlands or DTRH has “no impact on PKP”. I believe he means no impact for it happening, but obv could have impact on artists and line up.

(you can not seriously compare the Guns with Lorde or Tyler the creator ... they were alreayd here in the 80's, and they'll be remembered. Not sure about your Tyler or Tame Impala..)
Almost everyone here is spitting on "old" acts, it's non sense. For example, if I take the Rolling Stones : wayyy older generation than mine, but I can EASILY admit that it would be a bigger act than every name you mentionned ! They made music history, when many of your "new acts" will only make 3 or 4 albums and will be forgotten.
Yes. Nobody says they don’t deserve a spot. What we say is: you already have plenty of old bands, just for the sake of diversity take other bands that appeal to the big audience you’re catering too with RW. Bands like Rolling Stones, GNR, Elton John fit on TW Classic, since they are as you mentioned music history. But they simply do not contribute anymore to the headliners already presented in the 22 line up.
so yes, taking all this into consideration I do not believe the audience that hasn’t been served yet is waiting for Elton John or GNR or even the Stones. Which means that a combo of other acts like the ones I’ve mentioned will be better for the festival line up. (Evidence for that is the great welcome to the Primavera names)
edit: also nobody is comparing anything. We’re putting a line up together and that doesn’t mean that by taking one band you’re saying the other is shit.
-
Elton John? GNR? Is this some kind of sarcasm I’m not understanding?
Starting to feel like the bands are not the only old thing on RW anymore. I really don’t get how you consciously could still ask for more old bands/artists.
Either I’m too young for RW or everyone else is not open for new music on the top off the bill. But damn, GNR and Elton John when Tame Impala, Kendrick (possibly), Dua Lipa, Lorde, Tyler the Creator, Billie Eilish and more are touring just totally blows my mind.
