Rock Werchter 2015

[Tremousse]

I hope the crowd pleaser is triggerfinger

I don't know if Triggerfinger are in good terms with Rock Werchter since they have been playing during the World Cup football game Belgium-Argentina.. But I hope they'll play too, we definitely need them.

I expect Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls for tomorrow.

[foolee]

I think they'll release the last 12-17 acts tomorrow. Think they'll be a couple of average sized names in there as well as some Belgian/Dutch smaller names to fill the stages and a couple of small bands. Biggest hope that may be in with a chance would be FIDLAR.

EDIT: Expecting Frank Turner as said above by Tremousse

Blur won't come. RW is close to sell all its combi tickets without them. Friday will sell out too eventually. When they announced that M&S are the "final" headliner they meant for it. The thing you can hope for Friday is a dance act after M&S OR an act bigger than Ben Howard.

Correct. Don't hope for Blur. Damon Albarn also performing at Dour.

[Thrillhouse]

Really hoping for Frank Turner

[Dietediet]

Also Foals just announced for a festival in Finland along with Pharell Williams. Really hope Foals make an appearance.

Their dates tie up perfectly with a Dour or Pukkelpop appearance though, don't think they'll come on repeat since the album won't be out in time.

in 2013 blur were the closing act after KOL

Obviously we're talking 'dance oriented closing act' here. Deadmau5 and Disclosure are still available, although I'm not sure if they'd risk to give Disclosure a main stage slot on a day that's already considered weak and risky (cause of Pharrell and M&S).

I don't know if Triggerfinger are in good terms with Rock Werchter since they have been playing during the World Cup football game Belgium-Argentina.. But I hope they'll play too, we definitely need them.

I don't see why the world cup would have the band be on bad terms with RW, since no one could predict that time slot would clash with the Belgian game. I don't see them coming on repeat anyway, quite a big slot to give to a Belgian act who didn't do anything new since last year's edition.

[ParanoidTourist]

Any chance for Interpol or Robert Plant to return? They both released new material since last years edition of RW.

[Saeglopur]

Hope to get only smaller names for the sunday. So we could visit Brussels and come back for Muse!

[ourkiduk]

Frank Turner has stated on twitter hes making a press release announcement tomorrow at 5pm European Time, could be linked.

He'd go well on the Friday, great for main stage if anyone has seen how he 'controls' Reading.

[Tijnelia]

'we've agreed to play a couple more festivals this summer after all....more news coming soon!'

This is what Blood Red Shoes said on Facebook/Twitter last monday, and they haven't announced anything yet. So, maybe Werchter?

[ourkiduk]

Probably been asked before:

- Vouchers I know are 1 per half pint, whats the food cost (typical food types?)

- Are the vouchers usable in the Hive campsite or is it euro's there for stuff? what prices to expect in the hive?

Two of us travelling from Northern Ireland, hope to bring a bit of party animality to y'all!

I don't think there will be a closing act on Friday other than Pharrell, but we'll see!

[e2p2]

So Ill just try it like Gossard here did;) :

Modest Mouse (Friday & Saturday in Bravalla and Tinderbox so chances are low).

Jose Gonzalez (Norway during RW and Open'er festival after RW but is still around during all festivals including PKP).

Ryan Adams (Calling festival London on 4.7).

Get in!

I'm OK for Modest Mouse and Ryan Adams but I hope we won't get José Gonzales, because we already have too much folk bands, which are not crazy folk live bands for most of them (Angus and Julia Stone, Gavin James, James Bay..) Even if Damien Rice, Fink, Mumford and Sons, Of Monsters and Men, and Ben Howard are really good live bands. Now we need rock bands (Frank Turner, Triggerfinger, Limp Bizkit) or something more energetic like party acts (Knife Party, Deadmau5)..

[Tremousse]

And StPaul & the Broken Bones is gonna be announced (self confirmed), this band is really good, why not other soul bands

The thing is I didnt state who I want the most to be at RW, but stated those who are around and actually can fit well into the blend that already in the festival. these last 15-17 act to be announce would not change the current division of acts. Sure I want to see the Strokes, FNM, Jack White and other Rockish stuff but it wont happen.

Food was pretty standard festival food (burgers, hot dogs, chips kebabs) and I think it was all basically 2 tokens a go. The best Bratwurst, in my opinion, was outside the festival on the way in from the camp sites (3 euros a pop I think). There's also a shop by the way that sells cold canned beer for an OK price (good for taking back to tent). Wasn't in the Hive last time I went but the bar in our camp site was selling 250ml beers for 2.5 euros (same as inside the festival but in cash).

[weird science]

John Newman, Lonely The Brave, Fidlar, Tout Va Bien, Maxi Jazz, Red Fang, JD McPherson

[weird science]

Still no Peace But happy to see FIDLAR & Lonely The Brave.

[Cammers]

Lonely The Brave!!!

Absolutely incredible upcoming band, so glad they've been added.

[ParanoidTourist]

Haven't heard of any of these bands..but then again: I didn't know who Stromae was last year either;)

[Thrillhouse]

Happy with FIDLAR and red fang looked decent at leeds last year. Lonely the brave are a great addition too.

[nicky_89]

Lonely the Brave and Fidlar are decent additions! Seen Lonely the Brave in King Tuts last week and they were awesome!

Much chance of BRMC? I know they're playing European festivals around the same time but I haven't actually seen if they have availability in their schedule or what the likelihood is? Would make me ridiculously happy if they were added!!

Already doing 2 other Belgian fests, so they're unfortunately ruled out.

[Red Day]

I'm seriously wishing I hadn't bothered buying tickets and paying for flights. Really should have held my nerve for a Glasto resale ticket.

Red Fang and LTB aren't bad but overall line up isn't doing it for me

Do you think maybe that Glasto has got in the way of some acts playing Werchter this year?
