Rock Werchter 2014

[Dietediet]

Did anyone mention Deep Vally yet? They're doing European festivals in that period and they'd bring up the number of rock acts on the line up.

Paolo Nutini playing a Dutch show during the Werchter weekend, looking more and more likely.

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

the new song of Paolo is great, expecting to see him on RW!

[heti]

Iron Maiden won't happen. They don't do gigs 3 days in a row and they've already said they wrap up Maiden England tour in Knebworth. So...no

[Dietediet]

“Goosebumps! Just a few winners were lucky enough to attend last night’s very well-received Elbow concert at Studio Brussel’s Club 69… Luckily, the band will be playing one (just one!) more Belgian show this year… at the Palais 12 – Brussels Expo on June 14th!”

Looks like the Elbow singer was just mistaken after all. Another potential sub gone.

[foolee]

I doubt they'd give the game away though and say oh yeah they're playing two Belgium shows but the other one is not announced and its rock werchter so don't tell anybody if that makes sense.

[Gossard]

Come on RW, give me Deftones, Ed Kowalzcyk, Lenny Kravitz and Bad Religion today ...and if there is any possibility, Tool

[Dannie Brincat]

Guess we can rule out Kasabian...Belarus July 3rd, Russia July 5th + Roskilde Festival..4 gigs in 4 days seems impossible to me, especially with such distances.

DAMN !!!

I have a bad feeling we're gonna get Phoenix as a sub today.

Why Phoenix? They played last year but I'd have them, decent band!

I love Phoenix, but last year they played 3rd down and no one in the crowd seemed to care about it, I kinda felt sorry for them. With that crowd they belongs to the Barn and they can rock it easily.

They don't play in Belgium as far as I know and they're playing Saturday at Open'er Festival.

[e2p2]

Phoenix is one headliner at Dour Festival ...

5 hours to go!

New names for RW this afternoon? Or for Dour?

[Last Nights Hero]

I saw Heaven's Basement for the second time last night and they are honestly one of the best live rock acts I've ever seen. Would really love them to play RW. Don't know if they're known in Belgium but I can dream. Also holding out for Royal Blood, Pretty Reckless, Bad Religion and Chrvches but even just 1 would be nice. Hoping they announce some new names today.

We'd better get an announcement, not really fussed on who, one of a few decent little bands between Royal Blood, Circa Waves or Skaters would be nice.

Frank Turner would be my main hope that's realistic.

Wouldn't mind Lenny Kravitz before Arctic's as well. But not too fussed on that.

Think we'll get Paolo Nutini and maybe Lily Allen.

[Last Nights Hero]

Also any chance of Against Me!? I know their last European show is mid-June but their US dates don't start until Mid-July so maybe they'd stick around?

[Dietediet]

Frank Turner has already been announced for Pukkelpop, so chances for him are fairly small.

[foolee]

@dietediet Didn't realize this so probably doubt he'll turn up.

[Dietediet]

A list of names I personally think are realistic guesses for the next announcement (all names that'd suit RW and that haven't got Belgian dates between May and August yet, not including subs):

Paolo Nutini, Chvrches, Deftones, Blaudzun, Selah Sue, Lykke Li, School Is Cool, Royal Blood, The Pretty Reckless, Wild Beasts, The War On Drugs, Chromeo, Portugal The Man, The Kooks, Lily Allen, Flogging Molly, Bombay Bicycle Club, Belle & Sebastian, ...

[foolee]

Bombay Bicycle Club were announced for Main Square about an hour ago so I think it's quite likely that they will be in our next package of names! Playing Main Square on Friday 4th July.
