Rock Werchter 2014

[guitarbhoy1888]

franz into muse into prodigy would be amazing for me.

would honestly push me to buy my ticket.

[Dietediet]

There's no way they're gonna have The Prodigy closing after Muse. If they get Muse it'll be rather exclusive, and thus they'd wanna go out with that bang, rather than an outdated dance act.

[Gucci Piggy]

I'm starting to doubt The Prodigy. If they had them on the Sunday as well as a headliner, surely they'd want to get them announced so the Sunday doesn't look so bare? There doesn't seem to be anything stopping them doing this, so I don't reckon they're booked. Hopefully this does mean a stellar act headlining the Sunday to close the festival.

Anyway, if Franz aren't playing The Barn after all (not saying they definitely aren't), then this surely makes the Skrillex on Main Stage and Pixies in The Barn info doubtful?

Outkast will participate in 40 festivals all around the world in spring and summer 2014. Maybe they will be the last headliner (or maybe they will be in Pukkelpop)

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't think it was info so to speak, more what the Belgian members think where acts will fit in.

[Dietediet]

I thought some European festival rumour site said that?

Chance of Jack White playing if his next solo album is out next year? How high would he play?

[Gucci Piggy]

A rumour site said it indeed, but it can also follow from deductions. Looking at the size/spots of other festivals they're playing, it appears likely they'll prefer headlining Barn over Main Stage at 7pm. And in 2012 the organiser said Skrillex would be Main Stage next time he played.

And I reckon Jack White would be spot below sub, like last time.

About the Outkast news, I'm seeing them as Pukkelpop subs or Dour headliners, not really Werchter material.

[thetime]

Where are we at on the muse rumour? Coachella wasn't advertised as a world exclusive as far as I was aware.

Is it still they are just doing one festival in Eastern Europe? If that's the case I can only see it being sziget.

Or have the goalposts moved?

[Com Truise]

Hall and Oates are set to announce a European tour for July, could they show up somewhere down the line up?

[Dietediet]

A Sunday that looked something like this would suit me down to the ground:

Muse

Franz Ferdinand

Jack White

[Sparticus]

Franz Ferdinand wouldn't sub Main Stage, they're lower on the line up than Stromae. They've never been sub in their best days either so. Franz would be a position similar to Jack White at best.

[Gucci Piggy]

Franz to headline the barn, Stormae to headline Klub C? Can't see Franz high on the main stage, have the last albums beer received well in Belgium, they seem to have been on the way down for the last few years.

[Gucci Piggy]

Anything to rule out any of these? Some acts playing lower down than I have them on here, of course.

Thursday:

Main Stage: Skrillex - Metallica - Placebo - Slayer - Alice in Chains

KluB C: Paul Kalkbrenner

The Barn: Portishead - MGMT

Friday:

Main Stage: Major Lazer - Arctic Monkeys - The National - Lily Allen - Interpol - Foals - Jake Bugg

KluB C: Röyksopp and Robyn

The Barn: Manic Street Preachers

Saturday:

Main Stage: Pearl Jam - The Black Keys - The Offspring - Kasabian - Biffy Clyro

KluB C: Rudimental

The Barn: Pixies

Sunday:

Main Stage: Muse - Thirty Seconds to Mars - Kaiser Chiefs - White Lies - Imagine Dragons

KluB C: Disclosure

The Barn: Stromae - Franz Ferdinand

[Sparticus]

Offspring are headlining goezrock a month or two before (there's usually zero overlap)

Can't see 30stm or the national subbing......then again no idea who would sub arctic monkeys, arcade fire/ qotsa would have suited well, but doesn't look likely.

Despite what people think, I think outkast will be at werchter, the weekend pukkelpop falls on, there is a lot more competition for acts due to more festivals being on, and can't see them playing a medium sized fest like dour.

[Gossard]

Would Outcast headline the Main Stage you think? For me personally, that would be extremely disappointing. I know maybe two Outcast songs and both are about 10 years old. Headlining the Barn would be more fitting in my opinion.

So where that's leave Jack Johnson down the line up, Will-2609?

And is there really a chance that OutKast will only make a sub spot after all that hype of their reunion?

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

This are some names I think are pretty likely to enter the line up:

White Lies, MGMT, Interpol, Mogwai, Bastille, Foals, Mäximo Park, Beady Eye, We are Scientist...

any of this do you think are ruled out by instance? and why?

(get Bastille please organicers, Bastille!!!)

dying to know the 4º headliner!!!

[Com Truise]

Didn't someone on the R&L forum mention that Outkast will be doing 40 odd festivals in a headline tour?

[foolee]

Rock Werchter have booked 12 acts so far apparently, I assume this means 12 more acts to the ones they have announced, see their twitter for information.

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

they've added stromae to the official page, for me that means no new names this week with Stromae in there

hopes I'm wrong
