    I know they’re hyped a lot already but what a performance by The Last Dinner Party tonight in Brussels.

    They’re so confident in their sound and that’s only their first record. Probably the last time they’re playing a tiny venue here.

    Expecting a good turnout in the Barn to start the Saturday.

    Still looks very weak overall. A few gems in the undercard but strange placements and weak top positions do not help.

    Even the Saturday that started well feels just decent. Thursday tent names are quality though.

    Still happy with a day around The Last Dinner Party, Janelle Monae, Avril Lavigne, Marc Rebillet and Dua Lipa but, yeah, overall, yet another proof that there are just too many festivals in Belgium nowadays.

    The whole weekend finally starting to kick in, albeit a bit messy.

    Still a lot of acts (many Slope names) to announce but the prospect of The Last Dinner Party > Marc Rebillet > Janelle Monae > The Blaze > Avril Lavigne > Dua Lipa makes me extremely happy.

    Not so sure about Brutus, they're also playing Ronquieres (another Belgian festival) a few weeks later, so I don't see why Werchter couldn't also be added to their tour. Oh and apparently announcement today at 4 (Festileaks info + Stone posting a picture of Werchter with - "3pm" UK Time as insta story today, + other saying "Belgium we have announcement")

    Yeah my bad. As a Belgian band Dour and Ronquieres might not rule them out.

    I’ve just remembered they’re playing Graspop though. Does not that make them less likely to play Werchter?

    Four Tet too. Was thinking this was finally going to be the year for him to make his debut at RW. 

    Yeah. We can also add names such as Brutus, SHAME or Bar Italia now ruled out.

    Justice / Four Tet / Brutus is slowly making it a nice closing day at Dour btw.

    However, Dour still has not announced Janelle Monae (who’s touring and cancelled last year) and their headliner spots are almost filled. 

    Barn head (or Dua sub) ?

    Parkway Drive will play on Thursday. Like I said earlier, their booking agency announced last week at 4pm but deleted it really quickly and the time I understand they weren't not in the official announcement, the post was deleted. 

    Lenny Kravitz
    Parkway Drive
    Greta Van Fleet
    Dropkick Murphys

    Seems it gonna be the 4 biggest bands on Thursday. Which is weak for RW. Or maybe another act will play between GVF and DM but it's not gonna be a strong day anyway.

    That’s a strong Lokerse day.

    On another topic, Janelle Monae playing Mad Cool. Barn head candidate ? Or playing Dour after last year’s cancellation ?

    I'm out of touch with modern music in this country these days, never mind abroad. But surely we aren't looking at a Khruangbin sub set here are we? Very odd placement on the poster

    Odd indeed. We might still get a sub but that would push Avril to 4th down which seems… very low. 

    Unless she’s headlining the Barn.

    But that would not make sense as she’s a perfect 7-8pm act for that Saturday in my opinion.

    THU

    Main - Lenny Kravitz > Greta Van Fleet > Dropkick Murphys > Jane's Addiction
    Barn - PJ Harvey > The Hives
    Klub C - Black Pumas

    FRI

    Main - Maneskin > Sum 41 > Yungblud > Snow Patrol
    Barn - ??? > dEUS
    Klub C - ???

    SAT

    Main - Dua Lipa > Khruangbin > Avril Lavigne > Nothing But Thieves > The Kooks
    Barn - ??? > Roisin Murphy
    Klub C - Jessie Ware > Arlo Parks

    SUN

    Trying to read the poster and the order on the website but that was not easy. Still think we're missing our Friday and Saturday headliners.

    Khruangbin's position is... strange.

    My word, the party in Klub C during Franz Ferdinand 5 minutes after the full time whistle went is among the best atmospheres I've ever been in for a show ever. 

    I was just outside but that was a great one indeed!

    CHVRCHES into Belgium/Brazil into the end of Franz Ferdinand into The Killers was so much fun.

    Could Werchter schedule the headliner at 11.00-11.30 to avoid clashing with the game? Unless there’s extra time of course.

    Now that the draw has been done I wonder how they will manage the Euro 2024 should Belgium reach the quarters final.

    If they top their group and win their Last 16 they play the quarter finals on Saturday at 9 pm.

    If they finish second they play the quarter finals on Friday at 9 pm.

    Not the best schedule. Remember London Grammar being shockingly empty during Belgium/Brazil in 2018.
