It is a German festival exclusive He is announced for other festivals as well

What was the problem with Lokerse?

Inform yourself before you start complaining. If you look at the poster, it is clear that we still have a name to go on Thursday next to Stromae

We´re talking about Rock Werchter. They do this every year like that.

With the right undercard the national is big enough

Probably not, Rock Werchter still has to announce a lot of names including headliners. In the past Pukkelpop had to wait for Werchter, but who knows

Rock Werchter has a larger capacity than NOS Alive.

Insiders have confirmed Editors as the barnheadliner

Stromae: seen last year at NOS Alive in Portugal. A well-crafted show, along with catchy, top songs. This is going to be a treat in its own country at RW. The 1975: seen 2019 at Rock Werchter. Absolute low point of the entire festival. Beforehand, I was expecting a cool show with cool pop-rock songs. I found it far too flat and on top of that, that singer was an arrogant prick too (which apparently got worse). Red Hot Chili Peppers: I saw them last year at Rock Werchter. Frusciante really is a god on guitar, unbelievable how pure you could hear his playing. In addition, kiedis was in great form. Only downside was a bit too many pauses between songs, which sometimes slowed down the set. Definitely don't expect a best-of, but do expect a setlist with a mix of hits and great songs. The Interrupters: seen at the local festivals last year. Sing well, play well and a fine party, but didn't really feel like it at the time. Definitely recommended if you fancy a party of ska-punk. The HU: Wonder if this will work at Rock Werchter. I saw them at Graspop in 2019, but the tent was so packed we couldn't get in. A mix of metal and traditional Mongolian music with the typical guttural chants. A very fine show and it will probably be again at Werchter. Muse: seen at RW19. A band with so many hits, but was really terribly boring. The focus was far too much on the over the top show instead of their music. If there is nothing at the same time, I will gladly give them a second chance though, as they have a lot of good songs. Amenra: one of my favourite bands and seen several times too. They are a certainty for a show you can get totally absorbed in. From very soft fragile pieces to completely bursting open and screaming out all the emotion. Highly recommended for everyone especially when you fancy the harder guitar work!

Fred Again... has been confirmed in the announcements as barnhead. Of course it does not necessarily mean overlap between the two, but it is very likely there will be a big name next to Stromae but only because it is a thursday, the hardest day to sell out. Like mentioned by every Belgian person: Stromae sells the most tickets from all anounced names (6x paleis 12 = around 90 000 tickets)

I am also more into rock and that Sunday looks like it will be a nice day anyway. Amenra - Puscifer - Queens Of The Stone Age - Arctic Monkeys (haven't seen them before, which means I don't hate them live yet) is already a nice list of names.

Yes everybody meant this, like mentioned, Qotsa and Arctic Monkeys are co-headliners and Rosalia is sub. That´s how RW works a lot of times 2022: Anne-Marie (sub) - 21Pilots (co-headliner) - Imagine Dragons (co-headliner) Royal Blood (sub) - The Killers (co-headliner) - RHCP (co-headliner)

Yeah, we have two headliners this day, so Rosalia is sub before them. That´s what I meant indeed. Like Anne-Marie, Royal Blood last year for instance

Yes she is, she sold out Vorst Nationaal and there were +6000 people on Ticketswap waiting for a ticket. There have been much smaller subs
