Rock Werchter 2014

[Babyquack]

Well done Babyquack....but for me, the only clash is PJ/Pixies....

[foolee]

Thanks for the clash finder good work!

For me I'm fairly happy but a couple of rubbish clashes Franz/foals, kol/mgmt and probably the worst clash I've ever seen at a festival in pixies and pearl jam which is hurrendous. Having seen pearl jam before(although being in my top 5 live bands) i may have to watch pixies and see the last hour and a half of PJ... here comes a few months of debating left to a decision on the day

The Babyshambles/Royal Blood clash sucks for me, but I imagine Babyshambles probably won't end up playing anyway

I'm so happy the last band i see will be interpol in the klub c, that's brilliant

[Com Truise]

I thought that but like you said i imagine babyshambles won't play anyway

I'm selling my ticket if anybody on here needs one, for no other reason than I can't go, message me if you're interested

[TheBigLad]

From Amsterdam you only need to buy a ticket to Essen, which is the first station in Belgium. It will be free from there on.

The train you will be on probably won't actually stop at that station, and you'll shoot through it at high speed without even realising (it's only a tiny town). But that doesn't matter - it still counts as far as the free ticket goes.

Be careful to buy a ticket to Essen in Belgium however, and not to that big industrial city in Germany, also called Essen.

Random question but does anyone know the alcohol rules for camp site? My friend swears blind he can see a maximum of 12 cans but I cannot for the life of me see this on the website.

Royal Blood will put on a much better show anyway

and same here, they were ace on the NME tour, gonna be a great way to end the festival

[thetime]

I can't book my train from Brussels to Leuven until June using the e-ticket can I? Any tips for when doing so or is this fairly straight forward for an English guy.

[e2p2]

Can anyone see potential bottlenecks?

I remember trying to get to Bloc Party in the Barn after the National set at the main stage last year. It was terrible, would like to spot one in advanced.

Obviously Interpol at Klub C 20 minutes after KOL can be a big one.

[Gossard]

How big are Imagine Dragons in Belgium? I will be running towards the Barn after Biffy Clyro to see them...could we have a bottleneck there??

[KrisMalta]

These are what I will be mainly looking to hear come the festival - Overall, I believe that it was very well structured and compared to previous festivals which I went, there seems to be almost something every day for us to hear. As you can see, for me it's all about Saturday Keep the days rolling, Jack!

GOLD - My main attractions

RED - will not miss them unless I'm dead

BLUE - one of the acts which I want to hear

GREEN - will give them a go if I am not too tired

PURPLE - will decide there and then depending on my mood

Thursday :

The Wombats - Daptone Super Soul Revue - Miles Kane - Milow - London Grammar - Robert Plant (30mins) - Placebo - Damon Albarn (30mins) - Metallica

Friday :

The 1975 - The Strypes (25mins) - Rodrigo y Gabriela (30mins) - The Naked & Famous - Foster the People - Crystal Fighters - Eels - Arctic Monkeys - The Subs

Did you get in?

How in advance to you need to leave to get in the tents?

[branvan]

imagine dragons and interpol in the tent will get very crowdy i'm sure... on sunday at 23.45h i see 60'000 people wanting to see interpol?! it would have been better if stromae would start at the same time...

[Stretchryan]

I see the times are up - Pixies and Pearl Jam same time - my worst fear has come true.

[TheBoz]

Pixies and PJ clash at Werchter, probable Pixies and Jack White clash at Glastonbury.

This is just ridiculous

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

some notes after surprise yesterday night with the timetable...

- White Lies- London Grammar.... It'll be White Lies, but shit clash

- Placebo -Damon Albarn... I've seen Damon in Spain a week ago so Placebo, and Damon's end (with Tender and a góspel choir)

- Metallica- Gesaffelstein... Shit, not big fan of Metallica so I'll probably see 1 h of them and them to Gesaffelstein, but I want to see the typical Nothing Else Matters and I suppose they'll play it to the end..

- Paolo Nutini- Crystal Fighters... I'll probably see Paolo, but I've Heard that Crystal are such a party...

- Biffy Clyro at 17:00... come on! You've seen them at night? They put one hell of a show!

- The Black Keys... just 1h 5min... are you serious?! and Pearl Jam 3 h!!! Biggg Boooo to the organisers, with the new álbum they deserve lot more minutes, and we too!!!

- Pixies- Pearl Jam... I'm gonna see Pixies at Primavera so no problema for me...

- Babyshambles - Royal Blood... a real problema, what to decide? I know that probably Pete don't show up but, mmm I don't know, wanna see both but I've Heard that Royal Blood put a good show on...

- Foals- Franz Ferdinand- Lykke Li... ufff, difficult, I'll seee Foals at Primavera too but, wanna see the three of them, maybe I'll rush to see a bit of each, or just skip Franz, don't know

- MGMT- Kings of Leon... Sure I'll see Leons in full but but clash anyway

- At last, Chase and status at Barn and Stromae ending the main stage... are you kidding me?! No Electronic to close the Main? Awfull choise got to say, really too bad

... and this are my general impressions about the timetables... ;P

[Dietediet]

I don't really get all the complaints about Stromae closing Main Stage. It's a Belgian festival, so you can't blame them for giving (arguably) the biggest Belgian artist in decades such a spot. I can see him draw a crowd comparable to Netsky, and likely bigger than C&S, going crazy to his danceable hits.

Surprised about Interpol playing the smallest tent while no other act is playing, hope that doesn't get dangerous...
