Azealia Banks & Ed Sheeran self-confirmed.

Anyone know when tickets normally sell out? I'm desperate to go to this, but chances are I won't be able to afford a ticket until the end of march...

My guess is Bloc Party and The Killers both doing a co-headline-slot. I would be happy with that.

We hoping for another set of announcements very soon? What with the two new self-confirmed acts...?

Thanks for the replies. One of the reasons I was thinking of going was because the price is about the same as a V or Reading (give or take), but by all accounts it's much more chilled.

Not too impressed with this!

The line-up of Rock Werchter 2012 is taking shape. And as the festival will be offering a third stage this year, there will be more names than ever on the line-up. More names = more music = more Rock Werchter = party on!

New on the line-up are: JACK WHITE, CHASE & STATUS, NOEL GALLAGHER’S HIGH FLYING BIRDS, THE VACCINES, PAUL KALKBRENNER, STEVE AOKI, ED SHEERAN, NETSKY, KITTY DAISY & LEWIS, BEN HOWARD, M83, KREAYSHAWN and AZEALIA BANKS. The festival performances of Jack White and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are exclusive for the Benelux! More names are to be announced soon.

Foo fighters could be possibilty, or placebo.

[karelaanzee]

Placebo would be great, but played below Oasis and Prodigy in 2009...

Not a Foo Fighters-fan at all, but it would be a great addition to this already insane line-up indeed.

[ampersand]

well the front page band pics haven't changed so saturday headliner still to come you'd think.

blur, rihanna or foo fighters please.

pretty chuffed with todays announcement. really wanted to see noel gallagher this year, and discovered a couple good new acts thanks to spotify. steve aoki is pretty great, and kitty daisy & lewis are a must see for me.

You buy your ticket ampersand?

[lloyd2991]

100% going to the festival now, will be first foreign festival so very excited!

I also sent a tweet to Russell Lissack of Bloc Party asking him if they are playing and he replied "dont think so but watch this space", which sounds like they may!

[Boothy380]

Sounds to me like he's just assuring you there's more festival dates to come.

[lloyd2991]

Yeah sounds like it..I'm happy with the announcements so far anyway, any more is a bonus!

From being inisitally disapointed with the first lineup announcemnt I think its a great lineup, with the saturday headliner still be to announced.

Only weak day on main stage is the friday but then you still got gossip, jack white and pearl jam...Although bat for lashes is one of my favorite bands who are playign the third stage on that day. Going to go on the tues for couple of days in leuven as I love that little town.

Ticket purchased.
