Rock Werchter 2014

We've been saying that for 20 years....

But all jokes aside, I still think Foos or Muse will close the festival with Prodigy to play after Pearl Jam.

Co-headliner/subheadliner also makes a difference in your placement on posters (and font size and such), which some artists find important during negotiations.

As for that Nick Cave deal: The tv ad mentioned Nick Cave as a subheadliner. So I'm assuming he officially was meant to be the real sub, but they didn't want to have the huge genre clash (not to mention that the front rows would be packed with Rammstein fans) and thus put Volbeat in between to smoothen the change.

Thanx guys!

I guess there is some time left until we'll all know who's headlining sunday..

Does the Coachella announcement do anything for the RW rumours? Make anyone more or less likely to play?

Not really as its in April, I suppose the optimistic people will see Muse as a sign.

[Dietediet]

I'm hoping for Outkast personally, can't stand Muse. I was thinking more of acts further down the line-up though, the likes of Lorde and Chvrches, really hoping they make an appearance.

I could see/expect some of the following if not all from the Coachella announcement:

Beck, Foster The People, John Newman, The 1975, Ellie Goulding, Alunageorge, Lorde, Bastille, Bombay Bicycle Club, Empire of the Sun, MGMT, Haim, Naked & Famous, White Lies, Cage The Elephant, Grouplove.

No real surprises in that bunch but pretty average low down acts I would imagine.

Also see Dropkick Murphys, Slayer, Kasabian, Foals, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Alice In Chains, The Pretty Reckless, Rudimental, Royal Blood, Stromae, Interpol, Warpaint and Imagines Dragons turning up.

Interpol, Warpaint .

You mention Stromae foolee. How big is Stromae out of Belgium? Is he really famous in the english speaking countries?

The Coachella announcement has rise my expectations of Muse at RW, althought it was pretty easy to find that they were gonna make it...

Still hoping for the Foo's!!!

[thetime]

These would definitely make me very happy, especially Beck and AIC, where abouts would they play?

[Last Nights Hero]

Beck before Placebo or Black Keys would be nice.

Anyone got any thoughts on who the Arctic Monkeys sub/co-headliner could be?

[AlexMacca]

I asked the Rock Werchter page if we'll be finding out the final headliner this month and they replied with: "We actually don't know yet...stay tuned!" so it seems they actually haven't even booked the final headliner yet...Pretty useless info from me! But ah well..

Maybe Elbow or 30 Seconds to Mars. I can see those being the last two subs.
