Rock Werchter 2014

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

The Strokes will equilibrate toda'ys let down!

Let's pray for them as sunday co-headliners or subs!

[Com Truise]

To make me satisfied I'd like to see Biffy Clyro, The Prodigy, Jack White, The Strokes, White Lies, MGMT, FIDLAR, Jake Bugg, Cage The Elephant & Frank Turner.

Would dislike the possibility of Florence and Kasabian, of which both will happen imo unfortunately...

[thetime]

Strokes will not play..

[Gossard]

I sent RW an e-mail and asked if KoL would close the festival or if we could get another headliner/dance-act on Sunday. I also asked if the signed KoL because negotiations with Foos/Muse or any other band broke down. I got an answer after about 2 min(I'm not joking):

As the person answering this to you, I can’t really give you an answer to your questions (or I can’t - yet)... I assume we’ll all find out soon enough if KoL are the last band on Sunday or not.

I personally don’t know about negotiations with Muse, Foo Fighters or other bands. Though both bands you named haven’t really planned a European tour, at least for now. That might be a very good reason for not having them at RW14, I guess.

Nevertheless, I hope the rest of the line-up can please you and I hope you’ll enjoy the festival in July!

Kind regards,

Rock Werchter

We won't have to wait too long for new names according to the official twitter account. So that traditional batch of 20-30 names + stage splits will still be coming this month.

If RW had to settle for KoL because negotiation broke down with Foos/Muse, wouldn't that mean they have some extra money available now? Maybe QOTSA is a possibility now?

Well now my sulk is over about KOL healining 3/4 headliners I would pay to see is not to bad. I would watch Metallica, Pear Jam and Arctic Monkeys compared to Blur and Depeche Mode last year.

I am Hoping a really strong Barn headliner for the sunday, maybe Portishead/bastille.

Anyway just need to book a hotel in leuven for the tuesday night.

[foolee]

Your Barn stage looks awsome, friday would be beer day.

[thetime]

Hasn't Stromae been confirmed for headlining the Barn sunday?

[Gossard]

It wouldn't be a lot of money since KoL still asks about 1 million for a festival set, compared to the 1.2 million for FF. Possibly using it to get The Prodigy or Netsky as an extra act after KoL. QOTSA supposedly isn't in Europe during Werchter weekend.

[Dietediet]

I thought he had, although im sure someone said on here he will be on around the 7pm/8pm time.

So unsure.

[foolee]

We weren't supposed to know But in 2011 a Pinkpop spokesman accidentally leaked the sum Coldplay got for their performance, and a Belgian newspaper did an article on the estimated budgets for all Pinkpop and Werchter headliners. It was fairly shocking to see how at least half of the budget goes to the headliners (Coldplay and Springsteen 1.3, Metallica and Muse 1.2, Rammstein 1, etc).....

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

I'll really like to read that article too if you have it...

[weird science]

Do you think is there a possibility for Morrissey? He's about to start for a new album and maybe a European tour can be possible.. That'd be amazing.
