Rock Werchter 2014

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

Optimus Alive have just confirmed MGMT. I'm 100% sure they will be in Werchter too as LIT has confimed them in other festivals as BBK Live in Spain or Main Square in France... just like the Black Keys. They are in.

Can't see Biffy Clyro happening again. When they do repeats, it's usually acts that became even bigger and scored more hits in the time span between the fest and the next announcements. The only acts that would classify here would be Bastille, Disclosure and Rudimental (and Major Lazer, but that's already done).

You guys think the forth headliner could be Queen w/Adam Lambert? At least it would be something unique on RW anniversary.

Do you not think to fill a lower spot they would have them as a repeat? I hope they do but I see your logic.

[Gossard]

And I think the organisers are well aware of what booking Queen w/ Adam Lambert did to Sonisphere...

I forgot about that. What exactly happened there?

But I just saw this news and decided to share it with you guys....

[Gossard]

If there's something that will never happen, it's this.

i dont believe the biggest problem was sonisphere announcing them. it was certainly a factor but i think the whole set of headliners was just an absolute washout.

also think the abundance of 'big' music festivals in uk played a part in it dying off too

[Gucci Piggy]

Really hope Biffy are back. As said, they were brilliant in the tent, but being on the main stage wouldn't be a problem, seeing as they pull of main stage headline slots elsewhere. It's not like they're a band that'll be lost on a big stage.

I dunno, I've seen Biffy on the main stage at T and at Leeds and they were a let down both times. Much better indoors.

[Ber71538]

I saw Biffy two days ago in Brussel, I went there with a friend... and an open mind, as I don't like their albums that much.

But that show was really awesome, I've rarely seen so much energy on stage!

I'd really like to see them sub on main stage.

please no Thirty seconds to Mars though - bloody awful live. Shame about qotsa if that's true, But i believe in Werchter there should be some decent bands.

What's the likely hood of Deus re-appering as a headliner? (hope not)

Alice in Chains, Mastodon and Ghost will be at Main Square Festival according to a france radio station. Must all be likely for RW, at least Alice in Chains and Mastodon

Does this mean live performances are back on the cards, potentially why the sunday act isn't accounced yet, festivals potentially fighting it out for them next year?

[guitarbhoy1888]

that would be unbelievable !

dont want to get my hopes up this early in the game though

[Dietediet]

All depends on what exactly they're gonna do. If they're gonna perform by playing rhythm section in a live band with Nile Rodgers and Pharrell Williams (aka Get Lucky video), that wouldn't do the slightest bit to their touring chances.
