Ticketswap, they'll be gone in under a minute for anything below 300.
Cheers! Are there likely to be any major bands still to be announced? RATM could sway me, for example... 😉

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.

That's my BST ticket in the bin then! Oh well, I guess a 60,000 gig in early July was maybe a little optimistic, even despite the great progress we're making in the UK
I had both nights... ffs.

Not happy with RHCP as new headliner and certainly not as the festival's closing act, but I'll take the good news of the day for me with Volbeat being announced for Graspop and thus ruled out for Werchter!
I'm delighted with it. PJ & RHCP at the same festival is a dream for me. Give 0 shits about Volbeat. Each to their own.

If this is their stance, then Rock Werchter must release their 2021 line-up as soon as fucking possible so that people have that choice. I'm in London and don't go every year. I decide in Jan/Feb once I have a good idea of what I'm paying for. That's basic consumer choice.
September 15th is seemingly an arbituary date; I suspect to give people time to "get over it" and just swallow this bullshit.
Disclaimer: I am fully aware of the implications for the future of such festivals if they bulk-refund all that bought a ticket. That is something for the festival organisers, Ticketmaster and the Belgian government to sort out. It should NOT impact those that bought tickets for something that is no longer happening, of which many are already financially struggling.
SURELY insurance covers this? If not, it's incompetence on a whole new level.

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.
Sorry, but in no way whatsoever were Europe quicker to react. If anything, we were far, far slower than a lot of the Far East.

Surely with the announcement of their summer tour the kings of leon are likely to take the friday night slot. Have to say I wasn't too impressed last time I saw them here.
Agreed, they're pretty tame live but I like their songs enough to stand through them or enjoy as background music. With that said, I've seen them twice already so would prefer someone else I enjoy that I've never/have rarely seen.

If any of these questions have been asked before then I apologise - myself and some friends have decided to go to Werchter this year as we didn't get Glasto tickets. I see that some of you have been before so I figured you may know
- is there a shop/supermarket in the vicinity of the festival for supplies? Don't fancy much carrying beers and food all over the UK/Eurostar/Belgium along with our tents!
- is it worth going on the Wednesday and using the Hive campsite rather than regular camping? I'm attempting to convince my mates to do that as its no difference in price but to no avail.
Lineup looks really good this year would be great to finally be able to see PJ again - last time was at Reading something like 15 years ago!
I've been twice over recent years and both times my mates and I walked into Werchter in the sunshine and picked up supplies (snacks, beers etc) from the local supermarket, which is a good size and saves you having to travel any further. We did this straight after we'd set up our little area so all hands were free for the good stuff.
While I haven't stayed in any of the other camp sites, I wouldn't consider not staying in Hive if it's available. It's a great place and really lifts the experience for me. Showers, while a bit pricey, are a welcome luxury (this year I'll be trying to ration them for more beer money) and the vibe is really good, particularly after the festival site has closed down. We watched England vs Sweden there during the World Cup and it was a good atmosphere. Definitely worth it, particularly when it's exactly the same price.
Definitely rock up on the Wednesday. You get a far better pick on where you set up and you'll thank yourselves later in the week when you're not walking miles to find your tent. Also gives you that extra time to wander into the village, grab supplies, have a few beers in the pubs there (there's some cool, reasonably priced ones in the square). We're getting the 6am Eurostar over on the Wednesday to make sure we're as relaxed as can be before we destroy ourselves!

Surely people understand that RHCP would only come as headliners and would probably cost more if not equal to the headliners already there. So in other words, no chance.
Perhaps, but then with Frusciante coming back they seem to want to play before sitting down and recording an album. They've just stepped in for Metallica at Sonic Temple and with all the talk of a co-headliner on the Friday, it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility. Not saying it was ever likely, but...

Kaleo is not in Europe around the Werchter dates. RHCP would be awesome but I guess most realistic are, as mentioned already, Royal Blood + Two Door Cinema Club + smaller bands. Hope we'll get the answer tomorow
Aye, I guess it was always a stretch. Saying that, John Butler Trio are in Antwerp on the Friday, so there maaaay be a chance of them playing RW on one of the other days? I can hope...

Is from the same level as snow patrol - London Grammar - killers
Any chance at all of the RHCP, John Butler Trio or Kaleo making an appearance? Not necessarily on the Friday...

Is it bad that I don't know a single band on this list?

I found them terribly boring in 2018, but with a new album, they will always be a possibility I suppose. But no dates yet in Europe, so I wouldn't count too much on them being there.
Thanks. Yeah, just checked their tour guide and they're in the States only at the mo, though would be time for Europe between their last two US shows.
Surprised you found them boring, but each to their own

Any chance of Kaleo? Believe they have a new album out soon... they were my best discovery in 2018 by a long shot.
Anyone heard anything here?

that would be a very poor day in my opinion. LG is not big at all here and the stroker are exclusive but not a band that can carry a day by itself.
Chili's would be a good fit for the Friday, but whether they're adding any more dates now is doubtful
