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

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.

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.

We weren't supposed to know :P 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).....

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
