Rock Werchter 2015

[Dietediet]

Rise Against self-confirmed in their own tour list.

Where did you find that QOTSA festival announcement btw?

QOTSA:

Rise Against -> Foo Fighters:

[Dietediet]

That's awesome! QOTSA is definitely headline material at Werchter. Big crowd favourites in Belgium and they skipped RW during their Like Clockwork tour. Perhaps they'll pop up in the Open'er announcement this evening?

[Saeglopur]

Hoping for them too! Missed it on Hurricane Festival last year, so I'm waiting for the second chance.

Btw: Muse & Pharrell changed positions at the "line-up-list". Hopefully we will get a very strong sub for him at least.

Is Rise Against the sub for the Foo's? Nearly everywhere they take bigger spots, but last time they played Werchter at breakfast time ...

[Createur]

I think Pharrell will be co-headlining with another smallish headliner. Pop-day Mumford & Sons into Pharrell? Apparently Mumford & Sons are currently booking a festival tour in june.

Dont know how big they are but people here said that Florence +the Machine will sub Foo's . She played higher then Rise Against last time and it will be weird if she'll play between those two so I guess they'll play a similar place as last time or one place higher

on friday i can see The Chemical Brothers as late night act after Pharrell Williams. would be fun this package

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

hey mates, do you know where can I find the Belpop Documentary Rock Werchter 40 thet made back in september for the anniversary? I'll like to see it...

... and with english subs? jejej

[foolee]

Do we have any chance of Marilyn Manson? would love to see him but not sure if they'd book him.. I hope they do.

[Dietediet]

AC/DC isn't playing Belgium in 2015, according to Live Nation Netherlands (Mojo). So we're also still clueless about the Boutique headliner.

[Saeglopur]

... and the remaining 1-2 RW-headliner!

[dave0h]

Chemical Brothers and Rise Against confirmed!

[pship7]

Great stuff. Hopefully they can bulk up the poor Pharrell announcement with The Prodigy and I'll already be set for the weekend.

Anything else would be a bonus. Very impressed!

Quick question for any non-campers. I'm booked to stay in Leuven over the weekend. The free travel from Brussels and to/from the festival site is a great bonus but is there anything to do in Leuven whilst the festival is on? Or is everything dead except for the festival up the road?

I spotted that Fleetwood Mac are touring Europe at the same time as RW is on. They have a gig on the 24th June (London) but not another one on there schedule until the 27th (London again). So they are free that weekend according to their website. Possibly playing RW on the 25th/26th??

id love to see them there to be honest!

Leuven is a studentcity and a lot of students have their last exams at that time. So there will be some parties and you can always check the bars on the old market!

^{Curious, does a band playing Groezrock usually rule them out of RW?}

Every Groezrock international band can't announce a belgian gig before the festival (1st & 2nd May). Every year pukkelpop announce 2 or 3 Groezrock bands the day that the festival ends (this year NOFX, Touche Amore and PUP). i think that RW has it's line up closed in may so Groezrock close Werchter and Dour doors

Slash & Myles Kennedy
Eagles of Death Metal
Clutch
