Rock Werchter 2014

I know it's unlikely, but with The Rolling Stones supposedly doing their farewell world tour next year (they've already announced a few Asia/Pacific dates), does anyone think that they might be on to be the Sunday headliner, it could be there Belgium date?

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

so the 4º headliner would get out of this list...

Linkin Park

Foo Fighters

Muse

David Bowie

Rolling stones

... any of this would make my day!

...let it be Foo Fighters + QOTSA...

this would be a breathtaking end for the 40 anniversary!

[Sparticus]

Can see Rolling Stones playing at classic or boutique. Would take foos/qotsa! Guessing whoever's headlining the Sunday has announced nothing for next year so Werchter can't announce till then.

So far the lineup's looking brilliant!!

[guitarbhoy1888]

foo's and qotsa finishing with a short them crooked vultures set

that'd do me

[Gossard]

My choice would be Foo Fighters and QOTSA but my guess is Muse and QOTSA.

[smytho15]

looking at going as i ave no Glastonbury ticket 1question is it a green field site

First post!

What do people think the rest of the undercard will be like?

A long shot but I've admittedly got my fingers crossed for beck...

[Gucci Piggy]

I think the Sunday will be one or two of Linkin Park, The Prodigy, Kings of Leon and QOTSA. Muse and QOTSA would be the best possible case scenario for me, probably.

But yeah, as said, there must surely be a reason for them not announcing the Sunday headliner yet? Either they haven't announced anything yet (which would open up a lot of possibilities), the headliner isn't yet tied up, or they have their own dates still on sale (would this fit in with anybody?). Taking all that into account, it probably rules out everyone I listed above.

I can't see Kanye headlining there was a little uproar when Black Eyed Peas 'headlined' the other year and that was billed as the closing party.

They played after Maiden if memory served me right, so I would count them out unless they advertise him as the 'closing party act' like with Black Eyed Peas.

It does look like a foo fighters or muse as there would be no reason not to announce A linkin park or a KOL.

Perhaps they are trying to get Muse tied down as we speak.

I'm trying to keep away from entertaining these thoughts. I don't want to be let down.

[Dietediet]

I think it's going to be someone big. Wireless is the same weekend, and expanding to two sites, they must have something big lined up to think they're going to shift double the tickets.

Not a huge Foo Fighters fan & I'd only really want Muse if they played Absolution in full. Rather they do The Cure back

Are Pixies definitely in The Barn? Would be much better if they were subbing Pearl Jam

My thoughts about the final headline spot.

Linkin Park won't fit the Sunday headliner scheme as they're not big and "old" enough. Dave & Co. would do the trick (rock n' Grohl !!), Muse might fit in as well, but what do you think about a old-school headliners? For example Aerosmith (I know - so far the final date is June 25th), or - to coincide with the festival's birthday - U2 ?? It's an odd guess since the latter don't do festivals for decades (apart from Glasto)...but they would fit in perfectly.

Still - Foo Fighters are most probable from my point of view. Only hoping that both Kings of Leon and Editors stay as far away from Werchter as possible...

The Black Keys are most likely subbing Pearl Jam.
