Rock Werchter 2014

[Gossard]

Do you set up camp first at Werchter on the Wednesday then travel into Leuven?

And when's the Tool announcement??

[phil5383]

No, we always stay in a hotel in Leuven.

The Tool announcement will be at 4pm on Friday!

[Gossard]

I see Edward Kowalczyk is playing Novarock, you guys think he could possibly come to RW? His website isin't updated....

[Com Truise]

Same question has been asked on Facebook (as far as I remember), and the response from RW was something like: "We will consider it, especially if the national team of Belgium will play"

[Gossard]

That's good, was hoping they'd show the footie

I won't be watching any of it if they show some matches. I've paid £270 to go to see a load of amazing bands in Belgium, not to watch poor international football, even if it is the world cup.

[twiggyfool]

So what do people generally do on the Wednesday? Or is it mostly just sitting around?

[Saeglopur]

They didn't in '10 nor in '12

[Dietediet]

It might be different this year, as the Belgian team is qualified (unlike '10 and '12) and there's a realistic chance at making it past the first round. There's a huge craze about the national team around here (well not surprisingly, it's a more than decent team and it's the first time in 12 years that we're at a tournament), really can imagine there being screens showing the Belgian game if there is one.

Lets hope Belgium do well then

Supposedly TW Classic is announcing Rolling Stones today. That + succesful Pukkelpop announcement earlier this week probably means no names this week.

Edit: Self-confirmation RS for TW Classic.

Can't find any self-confirmation for the Rolling Stones, where did you get the info?

[Dietediet]

The official Rolling Stones app, they added TW Classic and Pinkpop in their tour dates.

[phil5383]

Prepare for the Dutch/Germans taking the piss how shit the English team are, will only be worse this year as the Belgians have a good team.

Me and my friends are spanish and in 2012 we tried to see the final anywhere 'cos they said they wouldn't be playing the match inside the festival... the result was spending and hour and a half in leuven trying to find a single screen with the match without succes, and losing Snow Patrol's concert...

... afterwards we entered the festival and find someone that told us that inside the festival he found a little screen with the final... we were pissed, but then Spain won and everything just turn into a party!

[Dietediet]

Full TW Classic day: Rolling Stones - Simple Minds - Triggerfinger - Arno - Seasick Steve - Admiral Freebee

Not sure about Lenny Kravitz. The source was right about RS playing TW Classic and the exact date, but wrong about the support act. Also Lenny Kravitz was confirmed by a Dutch trustworthy magazine for Pinkpop, but he's not in the official line up announcement. This is all getting confusing, let's just hope he's a sub for RW.

[Saeglopur]

John Mayer at Pinkpop, a possible name for Werchter? Would love to see him here!

[TheBoz]

There are some top names announced for pinkpop there!

[Daniel Comino Royuela]
