Rock Werchter 2015

[foolee]

Just watched the new M&S video, do they want to copy Snow Patrols 'Open Your Eyes' song and video anymore? Reminds me of a terrible version of that, complete rip off.

Also, does anyone have any experience with lockers. Do they sell out quick? Do you pre-order or get them on arrival? We're flying from the UK and ideally don't want to be carrying our passports around all week!

[heti]

Then why bring a passport ? Personal ID is enough wthin the EU for EU citizens.

[branvan]

good predictions foolee: may this is close. i see Patti Smith playing on Main Stage and Christine & the Queens higher in one of the tents (maybe 2nd or 3rd last)... Balthazar i can see playing in the tent before Alt-J and Damian Marley in the afternoon on Main Stage with 30degrees in the sun...

[Mr_Clavio]

I guess the next album by Mumford & Sons is more ROCK oriented!

[McCallion]

Pretty sure you need a passport for traveling outside of GB.

What's the possibility of Milky Chance to play at RW?

They're playing in Brussels a week after...

You'll need passport for Belgium. We don't have national identity cards, hence passport required

Hahaha, I know. Was just being polite

Hey guys, I am deciding where to go. My choices are Rock werchter , Open'er in Poland or Southside in Germany. Recommendations?

Plus, my friends who were coming, they can't anymore, so if anyone is searching for some company? Hahaha

Thanks.

They all have a similar lineup , but imo the real competition is between werchter and southside, its up to you to decide but ive been at werchter 2014 and i can say it was epic.

No Pukkelpop announcement this week?

[Dietediet]

No Pukkelpop announcement this week?

Doesn't seem like it, not exactly holding up to their 'beginning of March' promise.

Either way, RW already confirmed that we would get more names this Friday.

[thewayiam]

On a separate matter. What's better, Rock Werchter or Puckelpop?

Big names - werchter

Atmosphere/varied lineup - pukkelpop

Also werchter has an extra day of acts, that might swing it for people.

I would recommend both though, although I wouldn't say ones better than the other just a bit different.

I've got a question. What great LIVE RECENT bands (or recently revealed) could be added to the lineup this year ? (for example we already have Die Antwoord, Jungle and The War On Drugs but we don't have Gogol Bordello)

Give your ideas !

I hope that at least one of these names will be added -> Frank Turner, Hoffmaestro, Future Islands, Gary Clark Jr...

[Gossard]

Eagles of Death Metal and Mastodon.....

Better atmosphere at Pukkelpop?

Never enjoyed such a chilled atmosphere like RW last year. So Pkp is more like a big party?

[Dietediet]

St. Paul & The Broken Bones self-confirmed on their website.

There's Royal Blood, and hopefully we get Milky Chance.

We've just booked our tickets, and I've got a couple of questions.... Do you know what time the shuttles from the camp sites to Leuven starts operating? We have an early flight to catch on Monday, and we're trying to figure out whether we should book a taxi or catch the shuttle and train to go to Brussels.

My 2nd question... Anyone can recommend a camp site, I was told that the Hive was overrated. What we're looking for mainly is entertainment, shortest distance to the festival and especially clean toilets... Even if we have to pay a little extra for them.
