ROCK WERCHTER 2013

[Corn1bread0]

Brussels Charleroi airport isn't Brussels. It's 60km from Brussels.

You can take the bus from Charleroi airport to Charleroi South station. It will take +/- 20min.

From Charleroi South station you can take a train to Brussels and from Brussels you can take a train to Leuven.

If you arrive at 21:25 in Charleroi you have to hurry. Trains do not run very late. Only the busses from Leuven to the festival will run late (but I don't know if they already run late on Wednesday(night)?).

I think, last train from Charleroi to Brussels will depart at 22:37. Train from Brussels to Leuven will depart at 00:10. Arrival Leuven 00:30.

Good luck!

Daft Punk rumoured for Coachella once again. We can dream.

Announcement friday midday

[Duff Man]

I reckon we'll get Mumford from that Glasto announcement. Which would be poo because Mumford are poo.

[bigstoo]

I'd quite like to see Hurts. I'm with the .1% expecting Arctic Monkeys, and maybe Chase n Status, Example

[thetime]

I dont agree about them being Poo! Would love them

[Gossard]

I thought they were very good last year, there a band I wouldnt got to one of there gigs but would watch them at a fest.

Twitter last night, 'we are trying to announce ASAP really!'

Suggests somebody is preventing an announcement, possibly due to another festival having an exclusive first announcement on them?

Are there many other big festivals left to announce larger acts? I'm blaming Glastonbury..they're a pain in the arse. 90 days to go and they've not unveiled anything.

[thetime]

Couldn't it be something to do with the 'ASAP' because they've used it on more than one occasion, makes me think A$AP Rocky, he's touring and conveniently in Warsaw on the Saturday so could be either side of that really, looks also to be sticking around in Europe as he's at Wireless the following weekend. It would make sense as he would help bulk out that genre with artists such as Azaelia Banks and Kendrick Lamar?

[mchlshrwd]

Now I could see the point in making hints on someone big but not on someone of little interest.

[Gossard]

Alice in Chains must be a good shout also, playing Downloadfestival June 15th. They have a new album out in May. I enjoyed them in 2010 so hopefully they'll come

[thetime]

but I'm on board with hoping for Daft Punk etc.

[Dietediet]

The big chief of Rock Werchter confirmed that Arctic Monkeys and Daft Punk wouldn't be playing, exactly for the sake of people lowering their expectations... If Coachella, UMF, Glasto, Rock Am Ring, etc aren't able to get Daft Punk, why would RW do it then?

Also: Tenacious D and SOAD aren't in Europe during the Werchter weekend.

Expect the following as the bigger names left: Nick Cave, Kraftwerk, The Killers/Mumford & Sons, and Vampire Weekend (yes, last time they already played main stage at 6pm, and most likely they'll go up a spot like Phoenix did).

I'll be happy with Nick Cave. Don't expect anything else to avoid dissapointment.

I'm clinging to an idea I had in my head

What if qotsa are holding back the announcement until they announce their world tour ?

Ie maybe they're announcing tomorrow ...

Sorry I'm new to this forum and this might be a stupid question, but who is the big chief?

[festyfort]

Herman Schueremans

[Gossard]

Ok and where did he say Arctic Monkeys weren't playing?

[Nafalgar]

Good job Herman, arctic healine would be annoying.

[Nafalgar]

Does Bon Jovi not do any festivals? He's in Europe around the RW dates
