Is the travel which is included in the ticket price for the whole festival or just one journey there and one back.thanks

1 ride to Leuven and 1 from Leuven (to/from anywhere in Belgium) are included with the tickets. Free shuttle buses running all day between Leuven and werchter. Edited February 22, 2015 by e2p2

I know you can't use camping stoves /disposable bbq at the hive are there enough cooking facilities there,or if I wanna make a cuppa in the morning don't really want to trek just to boil kettle

[McCallion]

Do you guys reckon Die Antwoord will be mainstage or elsewhere? Would hate a clash with Muse

[eratiti007]

George Ezra, Seasick Steve (regular at Werchter), Kaiser Chiefs (more than regular at RW) and Jessie J are at the Bristol Summer Series - 24th to 27th June. I would put some money on Seasick Steve and the chiefs. Steve's always great.

[Dietediet]

Kaiser Chiefs basically begged RW to book them last year and they got snubbed. Hope we'll never see that one trick pony there again. Same goes for Seasick Steve, The Hives, ... imo.

[Cammers]

Jamie T, Twin Atlantic, Rebel Sound, Foster The People, Seasick Steve, Madeon, Gaslight Anthem, Frank Turner, Jack U, Enter Shikari.

Just a few names with potential to make Friday an actual worthwhile trip to the arena. At the moment, I'd only turn up for Of Monsters & Men and Ben Howard and they are tame

Apparently Coldplay is not headlining Glasto after all. So definitely one out of M&S - Editors - Blur then.

Out of those three, only Blur would appeal to me....

Do we have any idea when the next/last headliner is likely to be announced?

As soon as they are able to/allowed to is my guess, since the lack of a real Friday headliner surely must be harming ticket sales. If it's Blur the delay makes sense, probably have to sell out BST first. If it's not Blur, then they must be struggling to find one I guess.

One positive aspect: if they went for the easy solution, they would've announced Editors a while ago. The long wait makes me believe that they're at least trying to avoid another Editors repeat.

Are you convinced that there will be another name beside Pharrell? I could imagine that RW doesn't care about the friday if saturday/sunday/combi-tickets are sold out.

Well Pharrell definitely isn't headlineworthy. On the current poster (you can see it on Facebook and the website) he's in a smaller font than Muse/FF/Lenny Kravitz, and at most other festivals (Pinkpop, IOW, ...) he's merely subbing.

I don't think it would be a disaster if doesn't sell out completely, for instance missing out on 500 tickets or something. But with the current names that Friday is a disaster (Ben Howard is a weak sub, and the rest of the day isn't wow either). Add to that a total of 12.500 day tickets which sell at 95 euros each, on a weekday in the middle of the exam period. You might just get a scenario like '5.000 out of 12.500 tickets sold' if they don't start upgrading that day heavily, and that would be a small disaster.

If Coldplay aren't doing Glasto , I wonder to what act Roskilde is waiting for.

Anyway in a perfect world we would get something big before Lenny and Muse but...we're not in one so lets hope something will show up at least for Friday.

[branvan]

I'm a little bit surprised that Lenny Kravitz is in this high position.... He's playing concerts nowadays in front of let's say 13'000 spectators. He can't be in the same line up position as Muse or Foo Fighters?....

Seen Royal Blood last night, can confirm they are quite epic live. Looking forward to their RW performance even more now.

well, foos headlining glastonbury on friday, which is the weakest day at the moment..think this gives us a lil hope for another big big name

[Cammers]

Anyone think someone 'big' could be added today?

...or maybe another small bunch of names?

Can't understand why they would beef other days up and leave Friday as road kill for this long.

They will add at least one headliner (for Friday) and maybe a coheadliner for Saturday. If we analyze the main kind of music each day, we can expect highly probably Mumford and Sons on friday, and maybe Blur on saturday (could also be Editors even if Pukkelpop is more appropriate, or Jack White, or the Libertines, or two bands among these ones). We have to wait til Friday ! (An announcement on Wednesday is possible too)

[Cammers]

Actually meant 'this week' not 'today'.. my bad!

Hope we don't get M&S & Libs.. it wouldn't be a disaster but every festival under the sun seem to have one or both of them. Would love RW to throw a curve ball for Friday night!

[alexLyman]

Also hoping for a big announcement soon. Was at Rock Werchter 2013 and the lineup was amazing: Rammstein, Volbeat, Depeche Mode, Biffy Clyro, 30 Seconds to Mars, Greenday..... This year is not looking so good so far...

the only hope for that is sharing a name with glasto..in that case it could be anyone, but we would have to wait until glasto announcement in spring..

2012,2013 and 2014 were golden editions, between 30 and 40 are not announced yet, so we can still expect a great lineup.

[micvet]

Damon Albarn (Blur) will play on Dour as a guest of Tony Allen and band. They will do worldwide 2 show together (at the moment).
