Could it be that we'll get the last 22 names tommorow?

I doubt we'll get all the remaining names tomorrow, usually the lineup is complete in April. But we'll definitely get another package of 8-10 names.

[e2p2]

So from tomorrow on the focus change from the little names to the super-little names? Based on previous announcement I really thought Ryan Adams and Jose Gonzalez can still fit in.

[branvan]

I'm still hoping for Future Islands but I guess they will headline the Club tent @ pukkelpop.. :-(

they would have been announced by now, wouldn't they?

The announcements aren't happening in order of size. We might as well get James Blake, Disclosure and Stereophonics in the same announcement as Kovacs.

I know, Im just expressing a little bit disappointment with how things are going.

I know every batch they announced since they started this 6+ acts per Fridays last year had at least 2-3 known acts even for those who live outside of Benelux.

Anyway, Im not looking for the Black Keys size of a band. As you could see in my post Im being modest (Aw! I forgot to write there Modest Mouse! Can I have them too? ☺).

[dannie88]

This week I checked Underworld's tour dates and they had a Brussels gig listed on the first weekend of July. Now this is gone.

Could this be an indication?

[e2p2]

Disclosure for Open'er. I dont understand the hype but I know many of you will be happy to have them closing a night.

Rock werchter newbie here - how much of a pain is it to get to the festival on the thursday? e.g is there loads of traffic, packed buses, queues and will the camping fields be full early on? What I'm saying is is it worth going on the wednesday instead? Problem is that 5 days is a long time in a tent with your gf, so I'm thinking of going to brussels for the day on the friday. How easy is it to get to and from brussels? And would it be ok to spend a night in brussels on the friday (without and decent bands on) and just come back to the tent for the saturday? Any advice welcome!!

[Dietediet]

It's going to be an interesting day tomorrow anyway:

- Cactusfestival announcing its remaining 2 headliners tomorrow morning + smaller names

- Les Ardentes bringing a rock announcement tomorrow morning (and they still lack 2 headliners)

So we'll be able to rule out some names before we get our own RW announcement.

Dont know about the camping but I was expecting long queues for the festival entrance around Thursday noon but got in (+ replaced the e-ticket with a wristband) in less than a minute last year. Very easy to go to and from Brussels during the day, twenty minutes ride from Leuven in a fast train and about 7 Euros for return trip. The problem is that there are no trains after the shows so if you're planning to go to Brussels af night after the headliner you have a problem.

[Dietediet]

Grace Jones, The Kooks, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Sohn, Two Gallants, James Vincent McMorrow, Goose and Balthazar for Cactusfestival, so ruled out for RW.

[Gossard]

Only two bands that I'm hoping for are Eagles of Death Metal and Mastodon.....

[Gossard]

Rock Werchter answered me on twitter just now. I asked for Eagles of Death Metal and Mastodon in todays announcement and they said: "We'll see what we can do" ....make what you want with it

Tweet favourite by me!

[dannie88]

Tame Impala a possibility?

[Tremousse]

I had told several weeks ago that the Gaslight Anthem couldn't play at Werchter because of their dates. It's a mistake from me, sorry, I've just noticed they can play on Friday 26th June ! Hope they are going to be announced, we need them.

I'm afraid you were right the first time. Finland on 25th, Sweden on 27th, Denmark on 28th, jamming Belgium in between would make a murdering tour schedule.

I think we'll get Disclosure today, after announcing several festivals we share acts with yesterday and today.

[zbo]

pukkelpop will announce first acts match 25th

[Saeglopur]

Disclosure

Eagles Of Death Metal

Mastodon

St. Paul & The Broken Bones

Kovacs

... so we don't need to wait until 4pm.

If I'm not mistaken the last time someone self-confirmed, they added someone else instead. So they announced 5 new names. Correct me if I'm wrong.

OK yes that was the reason for I had told it, I remember now, thanks !
