Rock Werchter 2014

[Gossard]

Has the Foo Fighters rumor cooled down or do you guys think they are still a possibility? What about the Rage Against the Machine rumor?

Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard said in an interview a few weeks back that PJ would tour Europe in June. But they are not at Download Festival or Rock am Ring. Rock Werchter must be likely then don't you think?...even if RW isin't until early July.

1. Rumours are going stronger that Pearl Jam is sealed for Werchter. Apparently they don't enjoy playing at hard rock/metal fests, so that could explain the RaR/Download absence.

2. Foo Fighters could remain an option, but it depends. Cause once again, if they do European fests this Summer, I would've written them down for RaR etc as well. But who knows? We still need a 4th headliner next to AM, Pearl Jam and Metallica (those 3 are more or less certain now).

3. I personally think RATM is out of the deal. Hurricane have announced 2/3 of their headliners, and I figured they'd announce RATM first. And yet again the whole 'no Download etc' thing. Plus it was 50% certain a couple of months ago, they can't be negotiating that long, can they?

When's the last time foos played? I know they got announced for pukkelpop 2 years running(obvious reasons) on the last album tour.

I think thetime's prediction will be pretty accurate. Some combo of of Metallica/pearl jam/ Arctics/ qotsa. Wouldn't grumble at arcade fire, they were fantastic this week!

Foos would be great, they know how to put on a show!

[guitarbhoy1888]

well that was sudden

[Last Nights Hero]

Should we expect more announcements before tickets go on sale on Saturday?

We can dismiss the RATM rumours now, Hurricane/Southside just announced Macklemore & Ryan Lewis as their final headliner (yep...).

And no Elbow either, doing a Belgian arena show in June.

Big announcement although a bit predictable(for us anyway).

Enjoyed RW last year and Metallica is an awesome start for me. Deffo thinking about going back for a second year.

What's this festival like? Done V for 10 years and got bored with the chav and pop so last year done pinkpop which I thought was fantastic.

Sounds good. Although Metallica been confirmed for pinkpop too. Have to see who else playing. But thanks for the pitch.

Any chance of Iron Maiden? playing Knebworth with Metallica same weekend, I hope so.

Would be too much metal in the same weekend. Also, Sonisphere is their last date of the tour, so Metallica playing Werchter on Thursday and Iron Maiden playing Knebworth on Friday or Saturday would make a harsh thing to fit Werchter in there somewhere.

[Dietediet]

Who do you think will be the dance headliner on the Thursday? Prodigy? Chase and status?

[thetime]

None, Belgian radio confirmed Metallica will close the main stage, so they're breaking with the 'Thursday dance headliner' tradition

I'll think they'll compensate by putting dance headliners after Arctic Monkeys and Pearl Jam, and then The Prodigy, Deadmau5, Skrillex, Chase and Status or Major Lazer are the main competitors.

[Gossard]

My choice would me Chase&Status and The Prodigy but my guess is Major Lazer and The Prodigy

[guitarbhoy1888]

the prodigy is one of the few bands i want to see but haven't so i'd be ecstatic with them

so do we reckon we'll get more announcements before saturday then ?
