Rock Werchter 2015

[jdog]

Just announced Best Kept Secret so while that doesn't verify the legitimacy of the shows listed here it means they're certainly announcing dates that aren't listed so hopefully they'll be making an appearance at RW.

The poster added Best Kept Secret to that list yesterday, that's why I posted this in here yesterday:

I won't stop talking about the Libertines. Looks like they will be playing Best Kept Secret (19th-21th June).. Nailed on now, right?

So it seems like this poster definitely is talking the truth about these shows. But I think more shows could be added, just like he added Best Kept Secret yesterday.

[Dietediet]

Coldplay ∙ Mumford & Sons ∙ Deadmau5 ∙ The Libertines
Kasabian ∙ Sam Smith ∙ Death Cab for Cutie ∙ Madsen
Modest Mouse ∙ Die Antwoord ∙ The Tallest Man on Earth
The Vaccines ∙ Dotan ∙ Chet Faker ∙ Django Django ∙ Ash
Whomadewho ∙ Kate Tempest

Disclosure ∙ Tale of Us ∙ The Glitch Mob ∙ SOHN

This is what the people on Hurricane/Southside forums extracted from the puzzle. No new names today because a Boutique announcement this week?

[Saeglopur]

This is the product of one single user. Django Django and Kate Tempest are already excluded, Coldplay is way too expensive for Hurricane/Southside as the organisator said one or two years ago. Besides there are not enough "F"'s for Mumford & Sons, DCFC, Chet Faker AND Tale Of Us.

Woops, looks like my German isn't that good then

Who would be the name they held back the announcement for then? The H/S webmaster confirmed last week that one bigger name was holding back a whole announcement, and I'm not sure if The Libertines are big enough for that in Germany... Perhaps Mumford & Sons might be right then, having waited for Leeds/Reading?

Yeah, that could be the most logical reason for the long waiting (never had been such a long time between two waves at H/S). The Libertines could be another option, but in my opinion they aren't big enough to hold back the announcement ... I expect a lot of Werchter-names (Kasabian, Ben Howard, Sam Smith), so not too much new material.

[Saeglopur]

They always announce at 12:00 noon! ;-)

Could the BOSS be our 4th headliner??

Yes, they are going to spend 3 millions euro in booking Coldplay and Springsteen once they have sold 75% of the tickets.

Be prepared for a couple of these bands: The Prodigy, Editors, The National, The Libertines, Placebo, Black Keys... and you won't be dissapointed.

Is 75% of tickets sold a confirmed figure or educated guess? Need to get my tickets soon either way aha.

Well-educated guess. Would expect it to be even more, with 1/3 of the tickets already sold in the first week.

[Gossard]

That's because they announced Muse and Foos. Since then they've only announced crap(ok not only crap, but at least lesser bands).....I think no more then 75% tickets are sold do to week lineup so far....

[TheBoz]

Coldplay TBC for Glastonbury...

[foolee]

I can see Bruce Springsteen for boutique and Coldplay for werchter. I don't think the ticket sales are doing as well as last year either because by this point last year two day tickets were already sold out and combis not far off, I think announcing Coldplay would push the ticket sales that extra bit it needs right now. Although if editors and prodigy were announced it could have the same effect but can't see it.

[KarmicChris]

I kind of hope Coldplay and Mumford and Sons aren't at Werchter, after I gave it he big'un about people suggesting bands that were never gonna appear hahah

[e2p2]

Foolee, dont get your hopes up. Its true we dont know nothing for sure about the % of tickets thats already sold and I do hope they dont posting nothing regard this topic because they don't sell well but Im guessing that the hype of the first bands plus the hysteria of last year sales made enough effect on tickets sales this year.

About the BOSS for RW Boutique - I dont know for sure but if all RW events runs with the same organization, then he was at TW classic in 2013, cant see him coming back so quick for a similar event.

[Jakabov]

I hope the combitickets are available for some time, i have already purchased along with my brother but some of my friends have not gotten around to it yet.

But as i see it, recent years there were more names to the lineup at this time, i think many are waiting for more acts. The lineup is maybe 30-35% full now.

As i remember it the combitickets were sold out mid-february last year.

[Dietediet]

Let's also not forget that some students are hesitant because of the new date. But this month a lot of them are receiving their exam schedule for June, so I think it'll be sold out before the end of the month.

Hurricane/Southside, talking of a disappointment...

[foolee]

In case anyone is interested...

Last years selling out dates:

Thursday 16th Jan 2014 - Saturday Tickets

Thursday 22nd Jan 2014 - Thursday Tickets

Tuesday 18th Feb 2014 - Combi Tickets

Thursday 20th Feb 2014 - Sunday Tickets

Friday 4th April 2014 - Friday Tickets

[Dietediet]

[Gossard]

Graspop and Dour announceing on the same day?

[Dietediet]

Graspop and Dour announceing on the same day?

Looks like it. And both GMM and Dour prefer to drop names on Fridays. Both today to pave the way for a RW announcement tomorrow?

[McCallion]

Hey dudes,

Going to RW this year and never been before. Trying to decide whether to drive or fly. Been looking at flights and my cheapest option is to fly into Charleroi, but I understand we'd have to get some trains (bus to S. Charleroi station then a train to Brussel-Noord, before getting one to Leuven). Just wondering if anyone could advise a) how easy this is and how much it tends to cost. Been looking online but its a bit chaotic.

Would be very much apreciated!
