Rock Werchter 2014

[Dietediet]

How do you know The National are at Pukkelpop? Would love them to be at Werchter.

[Babyquack]

Wouldn't get hopes up for Prodigy, especially considering they're still not releasing any new material and are returning with the same old set.

[Chrisw16]

They're headlining Lowlands, which takes place in the Netherlands in the same weekend as Pukkelpop, and they always share a huge load of bands (even work together on occasion to get bands with better deals). And they'd be a repeat at Werchter, which doesn't play in RW's advantage either.

what do you think about the position of stromae? he is big in belgium, isn't he? is he too big for not playing at the main stage? but kings of leon headlining there... or could he maybe play after kings of leon on the main stage? or before kings of leon?

Stromae is headlining the barn, was confirmed when it was announced.

[branvan]

ok thank you! and bastille co-head in the barn?

Not sure about Bastille, to be honest I think a lot of the bands announced, if not all the bands announced for Sunday could all play barn or main.

For example sunday barn could be Stromae/Franz Ferdinand/MGMT/Passenger but it could easily be Stromae/Interpol/Bastille/Babyshambles etc.

Looking forward to the stage splits being released!

I think Interpol will be either 3rd down on main or sub headline in the barn.

[branvan]

maybe like this?

MAIN STAGE

Kings Of Leon

?? (Kasabian?)

Interpol

Franz Ferdinand

or like this?

Kings Of Leon

Interpol

Franz Ferdinand

....

it's interesting because there are three bands on sunday who have been there last year (passenger, bastille, kol). in my opinion passenger is a possible headliner of the 3rd stage. angus&julia stone and as well birdy fitting in to that schedule. bastille is live very danceable, so i think he will play before stromae on the other stage.

Don't think Interpol will be high up Main Stage, in 2007 they were 4th down on Main Stage and they were much more popular at that time.

I'm guessing Interpol will sub Barn, Franz Ferdinand will be one or two spots down from sub on Main Stage, and Bastille on the same stage one spot down FF.

Just check out the days again and it's obvious that Friday is too weak comparing to other days. They have focused too much on Sunday.

[Gossard]

In the announcement on Friday it said that there would be more next week, so, what bands do you guys think we'll get this week? We are still missing 2-3 "big" names on Sunday and 4-5 on Friday. Me personally I'm hoping for more rock&roll, the lineup is way to pop-ish for my taste.

Bad Religion?

The Prodigy?

The Offspring?

Rodrygo y Gabriela?

Iron Maiden?

Steel Panther?

Linkin Park?

Mackelmore?

Fall Out Boy

Nine Inch Nails?

Queens of the Stone Age?

More English pop-crap?

[ParanoidTourist]

Shame about Nine Inch Nails. They played Before Metallica in 2009 and they were awesome in my opinion,

[foolee]

In agreement that Interpol will not be that high up on the main stage and can also see Bastille on the main as there popularity has soared in resent months, I assume this is the same in Belgium as they seem to get played a lot on the main Belgian radio station.

I can see that we'll get more names this week and I think we'll get another 6 more and potentially the stage splits, depends how they're doing it this year.

Not sure who to expect this week but in the coming announcements the bands I expect to see are White Lies, Limp Bizkit, Wapaint, Frank Turner, Florence & The Machine, Ed Sheeran, Rudimental, Disclosure, Kavinsky and Kasabian.

Fingers crossed and hopeful for Weezer, Jack White, Nine Inch Nails. None of these will happen but just my wishes!

[weird science]

What about Tool? Any possibilities?

[Stretchryan]

That show in 2009 was amazing. Really hope deftones are announced but Friday is very weak day personally.

[Grrrrrinyer]

The Prodigy, Iron Maiden, Steel Panther and Queens of the stone age would amazing! I'd also love it if Wolfmother show up.

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

We are scientist White Lies Beady Eye Mogwai

Klaxons

Albert Hammond Jr.

Hoping for that ones...

[foolee]

To everyone saying Friday is a weak day, I think it looks weak because not many main stage acts have been announced. I'd say apart from Arctic Monkeys and probably Major Lazor playing after them the rest will be in Klub C/Barn, unless someone like The Stypes are early main, so many big acts still left to be announced for this day and also a Sub for sunday too.

@Grrrrrinyer Can see the Prodigy showing up as they are around that weekend. Either be Sunday before KOL or after Pearl Jam so not sure how likely. Can also see Wolfmother turning up but don't think the rest are likely at all.

@Daniel could see all those names being there.

[weird science]

If that happened I would actually not care what all the other days looked like!
