Rock Werchter 2015

[Dietediet]

BAP didn't headline in 2011. Iron Maiden did.

BEP got 1h40 running time in 2011. That's a headline set, disguised as a closing party to not piss off as many people.

I'm pretty sure Iron Maiden was announced as a co-headliner. And then, in February if I remember correctly, Black Eyed Peas was announced as closing act....

Another weird constellation a couple of years ago was when Pink played followed by Rammstein.

[Ber71538]

But RW is known for their odd decisions, in 2011 Iron Maiden and Black Eyed Peas co-headlined

That's very cruel to remind us of that painful evening

hi guys

can anyone tell what's the walking distance between the campsites and the fest site?

does the hive much closer than the others?

thanx

I forget which ones are the closest but it's certainly not the hive - it's about a 15/20 minute walk depending on how fast/tired you are

[Gossard]

Mudhoney are playing in Belgium on May 1st. Any chance they'd come back for Rock Werchter?

Beyonce?

I think 3 shows in one month are more than enough, don't you?

So how long do you think we need to wait for some announcements? Mid-January?

[Gossard]

Mid/late january I'd guess...

[Saeglopur]

Is it right that we will definitely get a "ticket countdown" before the combi-tickets are sold out? I'm afraid of it ...

The entree of The Hive is not that far (only A1 is closer, mayby also B0 and C2), it takes about 10 minutes. It depends of your spot on The Hive. If you're way in the back of The Hive site it's double as far to walk. The higher the number of campsite/parking, the further the distance.

Last year they posted after selling 85% of the overall tickets and the combi tickets sold out a few days after the announcement, so its not like they notify "guys, we got the last 1000 tickets, hurry up!"

Has anybody gone to this festival alone before? I'm thinking about going but still undecided. Is it a hassle not being located on the festival site if your camping?

[Last Nights Hero]

Hoping Jack White, Ride and Ryan Adams make a trip over to RW after Coachella. Also AC/DC but not going to happen

It isn't any more of a hassle than any other festival I've been to, you aren't technically on the festival site but you aren't far away and the campsites are all for festival goers so it isn't really any different. You get a wrist band for the campsite and a wristband for the festival site, you just show these/scan them as you go between them. We were in the Hive last year and it was just a 10/15 minute walk along a road to get to the festival site. Any festival has a walk between the site and the campsite, with checks etc in place for the arena so it's no different.

Hey guys. This Summer I'll probably be heading out to a couple of festivals. I'm surely going to PinkPop and was also considering heading out to Rock Werchter. The problem is my friend might not be able to make it and I'm not sure if I want to go alone. Has anyone ever gone alone before? How was the experience?

Also, when do Rock Werchter tickets usually get sold out? Do I have still have time?

[Daniel Comino Royuela]

AC/DC at Coachella... Bjork at Governors ball... the bunch of "new" headliners on the horizon is getting interesting...

I doubt Bjorks current popularity goes beyond Barn headliner though. And AC/DC won't play Belgium in 2015.

[guitarbhoy1888]

i dont think you can take an american festival with a HUGE budget as any indication of what we can expect in europe tbh. particularly with bigger acts.

wish we could because acdc would be brilliant. but we know thats not happening

i'm starting to think the remaining headliner/headliners will be totally underwhelming

[ParanoidTourist]

Let's not hope so but there is always a risk. Last year everybody had fantastic theories who would be the last headliner and it turned out to be...Kings of Leon (for the 8th time)

[Dietediet]

What's keeping me positive is the fact that most major fests around that time still have to announce more than 1 headliner: Roskilde, Glastonbury, Primavera, Open'er, Benicassim, Eurockeennes, Hurricane/Southside, TitP, BBK, Nos Alive, ...

That's making me believe that there's headliner worthy acts waiting to announce their first tour dates.

[e2p2]

I agree but I also think that it depands on the ticket sales rate. If this year sales are indeed a record time as they said earlier we should not expect massive headliner/s and subs. I really dont understand it because this year first announcments are not better then the last two years for example.
