Rock Werchter 2015

[Saeglopur]

Band Of Horses are in Germany one week before. Could imagine Kooks would play. AM, QOTSA, TBK and Keane unlikely ..

I'm not too bothered about Friday being shit, it give me a day to go bally and not give a shit about not remembering fook ol. Last year at rock en seine is was too pissed to remember the headliners, so can't remember qotsa Artic Monkeys prodigy, and what's worse was lana del rey turned out to be one of my favourite gigs.... Shit did I just say that out loud?

[e2p2]

i can see Faithless after Muse. too optimistic?

If Pharrell is a party act, I can't see RW finish each night with a dance/party act. If Pharrell is headlining we have different stuff to worry about.

[Leslie S]

Childish Gambino and Kendrick are both at Bonnaroo in Manchester 11 days before, any chance theyd be coming to rock werchter? Flume also.

[The elbe]

Also I hope "the foals" get added, an amazing band live!

[The elbe]

I love a band called "spector"... I know that there is no chance of them being on but this needs promoted # spector

oh, I confused it with Band Of Skulls, sorry!

[ksalem]

what would be the chances to have Thievery Corporation on the Lineup? They are playing 2 Shows in the US. The last one is the weekend before Werchter.

That'd be great !

[Red Day]

No, you get unlimited travel back and forth from the festival/camping area to Leuven. From there, a fast train to Brussels you have to buy seperately. Return ticket cost less than 7 Euros if I remember correctly and the ride is like 20 minutes.

Cheers for info

We can forget about Gaslight Anthem and that overrated dude Calvin Harris. They touring Scandinavia.

Eagles of Death Metal are available 25-27 and Modest Mouse 25,26 and 28th.

Bjork & Mika have been added to the line-up for festival in Ostrava in July. I think this is the first announcement for both of them.

The Gaslight Anthem :'( we need rock bands like them.. Pinkpop has Slash & the Conspirators, Graspop has Airbourne, Primavera has the Afghan Whigs. We've got Foo Fighters. Need the Afghan Whigs, need Springsteen even if it's improbable, need Gogol Bordello, need Gary Clark Jr, need Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls...

[Saeglopur]

Foo's, Muse, Rise Against, Royal Blood, Lenny ---> 5 "rock-acts" out of 33 (?). Btw. last year we had only 10+ rock-acts, too!

Some might argue if Lenny is a rock or pop act. But we have some quality rock acts around, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, Eagles of Death Metal....RW should sign them all

I think I might die of happiness if Springsteen confirmed!

[Jakabov]

Pretty slow going with the announcements so far, really looking forward to a big bunch of acts soon. As far as my counting abilities go, i count 33 confirmed acts so far. With a total of 81 acts last year so still a lot of names missing in the puzzle. I need some more electronic and hiphop. :-)

33 of 79! And the last 15-20 names will be some "unknown" belgian musicians. I expect a bunch of "KlubC" - acts this friday. So there are only 20+ acts remaining.

[Dietediet]

And the last 15-20 names will be some "unknown" belgian musicians.

In the past editions there have only been 5-10 Belgian acts per year. We've already got 2 now, so I don't think that Belgian acts are our biggest worry.

[McCallion]

What do you guys think the scope is like for Counting Crows? Also, are Die Antwoord likely?

Not sure if this means anything but on this site is says Roisin Murphy is listed on the barn. So could be headlining the barn?

I think they are highly probable I hope they will come to, it would be quite surprising if they are not on the lineup !

Crows playing in Holland 27 and in Switzerland on 30/6. I reckon 28/6 is quite possible unless they already announced something else in Belgium. This week they announcing more european dates like Dublin, Switzerland, Barcelona.

EDIT - CC just tweeted: "Great night in Hamburg last night. Great day in Brussels today. Can’t wait to come back to both places to play gigs."

from their tweets going back a few days, it makes clear they're currently in Europe rounding themselves up some summer shows - so it's hardly surprising they're getting some.
