I would rule out Limp Bizkit, simply because their 2009 performance was terrible, and the organizers know that. They had the chance to book them in 2010 and 2011, and they didn't (even though they played the sister festival in 2011).

Also, I wouldn't put money on (a high spot for) Kaiser Chiefs, two weeks ago they were begging the organizers to call them in an interview....

Limp Bizkit terrible in 2009? I'm no LB fan and this Nu Metal scene is not my thing but me and all my mates were very impressed with LB in 2009. They got the crowd going and were very humble. I hope they'll play this year as there is not one band I like on Friday or Sunday...

I'd say they are all possible, yes none may play but I'd say they're all more likely than not. As others have said they are all playing dates/festivals around the time of Rock Werchter.

Obviously I know nothing about Limp Bizkits performance at RW 09 but I have seen them be brilliant on 2 different occasions and always got the crowd going. So it depends on how many options they have for slots and if they are over this certain performance.

I saw the article that Kaiser Chiefs were practically begging to play and I think if Werchter were clever they'd be a good band to book low main, in a sort of Two Door or Hives spot of last year. Not taking a high spot but a good live band playing low down the bill, look a strong and good booking that I think KC would accept.

I know Steel Panther is not your typical RW band but they are probably the most fun band I've ever seen. They have not yet been confirmed for Graspop(witch is probably a more likely destination for them if they do a Belgian festival) but I'd love to see them at RW.

    • Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either.

    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
