    No, normally not more expensive (not a lot)

    If we keep the credit as they call it, will we get the tickets at the same price as this year or do we still pay extra on top of the credit we have?

    Any words about a possible 5th day so far?

    Thanks for the info you are sharing with us btw!

    So does this forum get renamed to 2021 or will a new one be made? 
     

    Not letting the festival take place this year was and is the only sensible option. Hope as much as possible from this year’s lineup gets recovered to next year... first time since 2014 I won’t be at Werchter 😒

    Pearl Jam having to cancel Hide Park amongst other festivals across Europe. Friday they will give more info on their European tour, coincidentally also the same day the Belgian gouvernement will probably cancel all festivals this summer... more info on Friday then?

    My hopes are just copy-paste to next year and we get to keep our tickets for then.

    There’s no need for us to think about possible cancellations for summer festivals and shows. The authorities are closely looking at the situation and don’t even know themselves how things will evolve. IF the festival is going to be cancelled we’ll know end of may or in June, no way they’ll cancel it before then. In China it’s getting better, it was there for 3 months but the authorities were slow to react. In Europe we’ve reacted way quicker so let’s hope in 2-3 months time things will be better.

    For now, all we can do, is wash your hands over and over and over again and stay at home! Don’t give people hands or hugs, don’t invite people over to your house and keep distance at work if possible. That’s how we can stop the virus and how we can make sure we can Rock at Werchter in July! Stay safe

    If Belgium survives until the Euro quarter finals, they're most likely playing that night (assuming they win group stage). So my guess would be a Belgian act headlining the Slope, so they could easily switch around/cancel in case a football game needs airing.

    If the Belgium game needs airing, won’t it be at the north west walls again? Much bigger space for all the people to stand

    I was thinking the same earlier. We'll see how it develops in the coming weeks, but if it keeps growing at this pace, I feel like this year's festival might be in jeopardy (and festivals all around the world...)

    You guys reckon the coronavirus might have an effect on the festival? Apprehensive about booking anything yet as I'm coming from overseas. 

    I don’t think they should cancel the festival because of this, if you have an OK health, the virus won’t do much to you, just like a cold, a simple flu kills tens of thousands of people every year so the corona virus isn’t that deadly at all.

    On the other hand we’ll see what the government and werchter say and how it develops...

    We will have about 15/17 more names for RW.

    There are a lot of potential artists on DTRH. But not all of them are for RW. Hot Chip for example, will play elsewhere.

    Will they make up for the lack of Belgian bands with these final names? 
    I’m loving the line-up so far but some Belgian bands would be nice to have

    I have to disagree on the discussion above concerning that the headliners are past their prime. I don't think youth equals better concerts. Pearl Jam and SOAD are, imo, one of the best live bands out there, old or not.. Of course I might be biased on the older bands since I'm fulfilling the criteria of the "dad-rock generation"😄

    I also think that the line up is the best I've seen in terms of variety this year compared with other festivals

    I’m 20 years old, and I LOVE Pearl Jam so much, I’m seeing them 3 times this July, I do get your point as not many others of my age love PJ 😉

    how are chances looking for bands like: Squid, The Murder Capital, Shame, The Blinders, blackbear, Trevor Daniel, IDLES, Royal Blood, Sir Sly

    and belgian bands like: Black Box Revelation, Equal Idiots, Portland, Crooked Steps, SONS, Het Zesde Metaal

    i know these are a lot of names and not all of them will be there but just asking if i should keep my hopes up for just even one of these bands, there must still be a “belgian bands announcement” to come?

    very happy with the line up already :)

    Normally Post Malone wasn’t touring in the weekend of RW... he is doing now BST 2nd July...

    1+1=?

    so the slim hopes of RATM that were back turned into this, solid (possible) booking for werchter but not my style

    good to see you back though @Ken19 :) we appreciate your info!

    still feel a lack of rock bands. I mean no popish acts like Liam, Keane, etc.

    Is there supposed to be some more?

    i feel bands like fontaines dc, royal blood, murder capital etc are still yet to be announced... at least to me these are rock bands, which rock bands would you wanna see?

    I think Marty76 had the topics mixed up and probably thought he was posting in Mad Cool topic. Correct, @Marty76?

    aah okay that would make sense! i was just checking to see if there was something i’m missing as i dont know much of the correlation between other festivals and Werchter 

    edit: it would be amazing seeing Fontaines D.C. and squid (and The Murder Capital) this summer at Werchter as my best friend and i are massive fans! :)

    Fontaines and Squid unlikely, since both do Primavera. Het zesde metaal very unlikely as no one will understand a word of what they're singing. Don't think there has ever been Belgian bands - singing in their native language - at big international festivals.

    is there a correlation between primavera and werchter that not many bands play at both? because id have thought that spain is quite close and thus a decent option to be playing at both festivals

    what are the chances on bands like:

    the murder capital

    fontaines d.c.

    idles

    royal blood

    squid

    the blinders

    equal idiots

    black box revelation

    het zesde metaal

    i know these are all rock bands but would be great to know the odds of seeing some of these...

    thanks for your guys help!

    For one time...

    Nice quality names still to come for RW. A lot of them. A lot of great female acts too. This batch of names was logic. People who are liking the more commercial names are happy now, the feedback on social media were very clear about that. Most of the people need this type of easy commercial artists. I don't have to say how many criticism they get because it was too alternative (FNM, Pixies, Wilco, Strokes, Thom Yorke... are not those easy mass acts). I'm not happy with every artist, but they fit the RW philosophy perfect. Some names mentioned, people are thinking that they won't come anymore to RW (because they have a loaded schedule or ...) , will still play and will be announced very soon.

    Not easy to make the perfect line up, same story every year. And yes, everybody can say that.

    Till next time...

    PS: stop about MCR, please 😂

     

    very well said, this is true, all commercial ticket selling bands being announced now means a lot of less commercial bands still to come, thanks for the info and happy to see you back!

    So, gun to your head, how many more headliners/subs do you think are still to come?

    depends on what you count as headliners

    barn closer is also technically barn “headliner”, if you count these, then we got some good big names still to come, expecting an announcement on “festival closer” as well where it says that specifically in the announcement
