According to Live Nation sources there won't be a Belgian date. Also there's always a 2 day gap in between those AC/DC dates, highly doubt they'll do 4 days in a row.

In other news: dEUS yesterday said that they'll do 'greatest hits' Summer shows.

So you can have your rubbish pop music at RW?

yeah, right!

Greatest Hits sommer shows? I only know one dEUS song, Suds & Soda....

[Gossard]

For our fourth headliner, what do people think?


Coldplay
Radiohead
System of a Down
I struggle to find any other likely candidates....

Me personally, hoping for SOAD but I think it will be Coldplay....

[Saeglopur]

SOAD don't do festivals this summer if I remember right,

Radiohead is unlikey too, because of the solo-project of Jonny Greenwood.

I would not bet that we will get another "big fish" like Coldplay after Muse and Foo Fighters. Could imagine that there are smaller names. Something like

FF - Chemical Brothers

dEUS - Netsky

30 stm - Pharrell Williams

Faith No More - Muse

I wouldn't like this constellation, but it's better than having KOL/Editors for the 51361th time! And with Damien & TWOB as tent-headliner I could go with it.

That would be one hell of a weak line up. dEUS is even questionable as a sub these days (I'd make them Barn headliner), same thing for 30STM (+ I don't think they'll tour next Summer).

I'm guessing we'll see coheadlining constructions, plenty of acts with new stuff: QOTSA, Jack White, Mumford & Sons, The xx, Snow Patrol, Lenny Kravitz, possibly The Strokes, ..

And what about RHCP? They've confirmed a new album for 2015, surely they'll do some festivals?

Modest Mouse have just announced new album release. Hoping to see them at RW.

[Gossard]

isjaki? As in iceberg?

[isjaki]

Exactly. As in Sigur Rós' song.

[Gossard]

Ahh, so you're not Icelandic then?

[isjaki]

Not excactly. Almost.

Spanish.

[Gossard]

Cat Stevens played in Brussels in November, anyone know how that went? Any chance he'd turn up at RW15??

[Saeglopur]

Exactly. As in Sigur Rós' song.

Maaan!

[Gossard]

Maaan!

Sæglópur? Another Icelandic wannabe??

[Saeglopur]

Sæglópur? Another Icelandic wannabe??

Right

Some not unimportant information: On Thursday Music For Life, a big charity action by Studio Brussel, starts. Usually Werchter does not give any names while MFL is going on, because basically all media attention is taken up by that cause. And Winter vacation starts on Saturday, so no names then either.

This means that if we don't get any names tomorrow or Wednesday, we'll have to wait until the second week of January.

[Gossard]

Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Hope we will get at least one more headliner! I'm not sure if there are enough combi-tickets when we get more names mid january. :/

Hopefully they'll be there. I was bummed when they cancelled in 2013. If they'll come they probably take a low spot as they were scheduled to open the main stage in 2013.

[Saeglopur]

Sting at Les Eurockeennes de Belfort (03.-05.07/FR) - is he RW-material?

[e2p2]

JAMC, Ben Harper and Counting Crows from Bilbao bbk?

I know all of them are old school I but there was no official statement on the 'rejuvenated' thing.

Well they don't have to say that rejuvenated thing out loud, looking at recent line ups prove that they're aiming more and more at young crowds and fail to book a lot of older acts.

Anyway, JAMC doesn't suit the Werchter crowd imo, and Ben Harper sounds more likely for other Belgian fests. Can see Counting Crows play afternoon main stage though.

Lenny Kravitz just confirmed for the Saturday
