HI all 

Checked out rammstein and it seems like some sort of post apocalyptic cult band ... definitely not for me 

Do we think the next announcement's will be today ? 

Are macklemore and coldplay definitely ruled out? 

When do you think we wil get a run of announcers ?

Cheers

Roskilde, RaR/RiP, Open'er and Pinkpop all announcing RHCP at the exact same moment, yet no news from Rock Werchter. Bizarre. 

Or maybe RW haven't booked them?

I'd rather have Foo Fighters - Rammstein - Pearl Jam - Editors, keeping my fingers crossed!

Bullet For My Valentine plays at Graspop , so they are ruled out for Werchter.

In my opinion, Rammstein will coheadline with Editors the same day, and Red Hot Chili Peppers will play another day. It will let two other headliner places to take, I hope that Pearl Jam will take one, or Radiohead (if they finish their studio work in time), or Foo Fighters if they decide to do a minitrip

Do you not think that with Editors having already co-headlined twice RW will want to give them a go and headline (a strong day with a dance act after) themselves?

Editors were solo headliners in 2012, in 2013 they coheadlined because they were repeat bookings and Depeche Mode couldn't do the trick theirselves. If they do coheadline again, I expect it to be with a smaller sized headliner (i.e. The National), rather than a major act like Rammstein or Pearl Jam. After all, those days would sell out either way, then they might as well make use of Editors selling power.

are we expecting announcements today?

 

RHCP would be more than a decent addition, don't see how Editors' are a headline band, but hey Kasabian didn't seem massively appreciated over there!

Same here. In Madrid, Editors will play in a 1.200 people venue (La Riviera) and they haven't sold it out despite the 30€ tickets are on sale since summer. I can't understand why are they so big in Belgium. Such an average band...

It's basically a combination of luck and a good marketing team:

- Around 2010 they grew to sub status, like in several European countries

- A video shot during their 2010 performance goes viral because of some guy singing as if it's his dying breath

- Editors release a Belgium-exclusive single from that performance, hits number 1 for several weeks

- Add in a free charity show on the Antwerp main square to boost popularity

- 2012: Werchter is desperate for a headliner, decides to take the risk with Editors, they pull off a good show and secure future headline spots. Add in a "The Belgians saved us from splitting up" quote to bring up even more love.

Basically, they've stopped caring about other countries and are putting everything into prolonging their Belgian/Dutch headline status (surprise shows, radio and tv performances every few months, major signing sessions, ...).

Didnt they got a 75 minutes slot,  just like the XX who played before them? 

Anyway,  like Dietediet says., either they play as sole headliner or in a co-headline structure,  unless RW plans a mega-Thursday as in 2014/2015 (Placebo-> Metalica-> who-ever-that-was in 2014, FaTM-> Foo-> Chem.  Bros in 2015). 

I guess that if RW wont announce RHCP today then they're  probably the headliner RW doesnt share with Pinkpop as they are usually share two.

I think they're good, just not amazing,, crazy that they cant sell a 1200 venue out....

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
