Rock Werchter 2015

[Gossard]

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?

I hope so...

[Dietediet]

Dour announced Flume, Eagulls, Cashmere Cat, Jon Hopkins (along with some other names that I didn't really consider options). Still 4-5 headliners to go, so they remain competition for RW.

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!

Where are you coming from? I came from the UK, got the ferry at Hull and it was a super smooth journey from there on out. I wish I'd have driven and brought more stuff as we were pretty short on tolerable alcohol and mixers.

I'm driving from Coventry, we're going down to Dover, ferry to Dunkirk then onto Werchter. We considered flying but we did that when we went to Bilbao BBK Live 2013 and trying to get everything in a rucksack was a nightmare. At least this year we can pack the car full of stuff

[McCallion]

I'd be going from Liverpool. Tbh, flying seems pretty tempting. £45 return from Manc

If you are flying to Brussels Charleroi the journey to Leuven is quite smooth but takes about 2.5 hrs if I can remember well. We did this journey when we flew to Charleroi from Malta in 2011. There is a free bus from Charleroi airport to Charleroi train station, then a free train from Charleroi station to Leuven, then another free bus from leuven to Werchter. These free tickets needs to be combined with you festival ticket. In 2011 we arrived at 8.00pm at Charleroi airport and were afraid that we're gonna miss the bus from Leuven to Werchter as we heard that it's till 10.00pm. Therefore we got a taxi from Charleroi airport to Werchter which cost only €18.00 per person and we were there in about an hour.

Should we be awaiting an announcement with some names today?

[alexLyman]

@Newbie .- I hope so...

[august1]

I go from Liverpool and find the Eurostar to be the best. £66 return(book asap), plus £25 for Lime Street/Euston return( book 12 weeks before travelling) . Door to door its probably 2 hours longer than flying, but no need to worry about bags/weight, and you can take your own food/beers for the journey which saves a few quid as well.

[Jakabov]

Anyone else driving from Denmark? :-)

[micvet]

PRODIGY!!!!

[micvet]

Prodigy will perform on Saturday!

[pship7]

BOOM! GET IN!

[Jakabov]

Oh shiaaaatt! The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy within 4 days, i need to recruit one of my friends to drive home to Denmark on monday. :-)

[McCallion]

Oh hell yes! Thats tipped it for me, definitely going. Do you guys think tickets are likely to sell out soon? Hoping to buy next week

[Mr_Clavio]

So The Prodigy is the Dance Act for Saturday.

You think we are still missing a headliner on Saturday along Lenny Kravitz? Coldplay maybe?

[Saeglopur]

No!

Hopefully we will get a bigger name for Friday between Ben Howard and Pharrell Williams - and that's it. QOTSA would be great, but Editors seem to be more likely

Well, neither Lenny nor Prodigy are announced as a headliner....

[Createur]

The Prodigy will be headlining https://twitter.com/RockWerchteron Saturday 27th June 2015. More information at /XXMADPSoIj

Retweeted by Rock Werchter. On the official RW site they are placed like The Chemical Brothers, right behind the headliner.

Ahh, ok. I only saw their site and it doesn't say they are headliner there. Thanks for clearing that up

[KarmicChris]

So... 3 out of 4 headliners?

[jackjd]

Do you have to sign up and buy your tickets through the Belgian ticketmaster?

[Dietediet]

The Prodigy is merely a headliner in the same way Stromae was one: the act that closes the day. Only I'm afraid that Lenny Kravitz will be the real headliner there.

4 out of 4: Pharrell was announced as headliner!
