The good thing is that he doesn't seem he's the headliner so we still need the headliner for the saturday.

New rock announcements for the new Danish festival Tinderbox:

28th of June: Eagles of Death Metal, The Gaslight Anthem and All Time Low

All of them seem quite likely?

EoDM and Gaslight Anthem - hopefully YES. All Time Low - please keep them as far away as possible.

[JohnMo85]

Paolo Nutini confirmed for OASG fest in Switzerland on 28th June. Another possibility for RW??

[heti]

Kasabian are headlining Open'er in Poland (July 4th). RW, bring 'em in !!!

Would be very decent!

[Gossard]

Kasabian would play in the middle of the day like the last two times they played RW.I wouldn't mind them, but having seen them 4 times and they have never impressed me, I wouldn't mind if they stayed away either

[Gossard]

Marilyn Manson, Faith no More and Slash & Myles Kennedy announced for Graspop....at least we can now rule them out for RW....

[Gossard]

Of course it's still early, but in my opinion GMM has the best lineup so far out of all the European festivals...

[Dietediet]

Marilyn Manson, Faith no More and Slash & Myles Kennedy announced for Graspop....at least we can now rule them out for RW....

And now we also know not to trust Festileaks 'inside information'...

In other news: Counting Crows playing a Dutch festival the same weekend as RW, the same fest that also has Lenny Kravitz headlining. Looks really likely now that they'll drop by.

[Last Nights Hero]

Was hoping for all 3 at RW. So much for Festileaks source, although credit to them for being on top of all their other leaks.

If RW booked the Libertines, where would they play? They are supposedly headlining the Pyramid or Other stage at Glastonbury.

God I hope they stay away. Pete Doherty is one of the most overrated musician of all time...

They failed to sell out a Brussels 4500 people venue with tickets at 35 euros, so they can't really ask for interesting spots. Late afternoon Main Stage, evening Barn or topping KluB C, but I'd say headlining Dour or Les Ardentes sounds more right.

Gutted about Marilyn Manson at Rock Werchter but there you go. Kinda expected it in the back of my mine, makes Kasabian increasingly more likely with their dates around and also All Time Low, EODM & The Gaslight Anthem so still some nice rock names.

[KarmicChris]

Any news on how many tickets been sold? I still haven't got mine. Waiting for more acts, although i'm 99.98% sure i'm going anyway..

[foolee]

Put a little prediction together as the Christmas break is here so no new names until mid/late January I would've thought. So here goes nothing:(Not looking into Klub C names too much just think a lot of these will make an appearance).

Thurs

My to do list before Christmas:

✔ Buy Graspop tickets
✔ Buy Rock Werchter tickets

....now I can have happy holidays

A BIG very merry Christmas to all of you guys

[noneedtojudgeme]

who do you think can still headline the friday (co-headline with pharell) and saturday?

My guess is The Prodigy will play after PW and Coldplay will headline Saturday....hoping for System of a Down though...

The Prodigy and Pharrell look odd to me. Both more of a 'fun' act (although I dont find Pharrell as fun) than a headline act.

Coldplay is a matter of taste but at least its an obvious headliner.

[Gossard]

Pharrell is a headliner, RW said so when they announced him. But he's a very weak headliner so a strong dance-act could be the answer....or a strong sub, QOTSA/Jack White?

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

Nobody said 2011 was a good year..

[Dead throne]

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