I do not think we will have any announcements today.

Has it happened before that we get an announcement earlier than Friday? Only when an artist self-confirmed right?

Might be mistaken, but didnt Rammstein announce a load of EU fests (not incl Werchter) and then confirm Werchter a few hours later?

Checked the RW facebook page and if I'm correct Rammstein were added on Wednesday...so finger crossed for an announcement today

Yes I think you are right, it was announce on a Wednesday if I'm correct. Well we will have to wait and see if today we get Radiohead!

Don't think they'll do 2 announcements in 1 week. But in the case of Rammstein, it was most of the tour announced in one go. I reckon they'll just hold on for a day and instead give us Radiohead + a handful of Thursday names. 

[Mr. luiguibangbang]

How certain do you think is Radiohead, 80%, 60%? Im still hoping for PJ as a candidate for Thursday.

[Dietediet]

More like 95%. With Radiohead in the picture, I can't see yet another headliner show up this late. Especially with Radiohead taking Pearl Jam's supposed slot at NOS Alive.

Did the M&S day even sell out last year? I'm pretty sure there were tickets left for that day.

I'd be happy with Radiohead though. Although, I'm not a huge fan, does anyone have any recommendations for where to start?

Would love it if Radiohead would headline=) They were really good at Werchter in 2008. My top 3 albums are 1) Ok Computer 2) In Rainbows and 3) Kid A. I believe the band play a fair amount from the latter two albums these days

The rumor about PJ were for the 7.7,  weren't they?  NOS Alive is still missing one headliner. 

Im still hoping..

We could just get both

Radiohead would be announced on a Friday.

They won't be doing a live show anywhere that they aren't recognized majorly and won't get a high spot I doubt. DJ set at most probably.

Funny how the status of some bands differ from one area to another. Editors are a 2000 capacity venue band in Uk but seem to be a lot more popular in Belgium

I think that's the beauty of it all.  If everyone had the same status everywhere then everything would have been the same

Nahh, most likely just Glastonbury but could be tempted to do something else in the UK as well (somewhere with Radiohead or a Leeds day ticket if there's anything appealing on).

[Dietediet]

According to someone on Twitter: at 4pm, one iconic artist + heaps of good names.

That's in line with the earlier 'once the headliner is sealed, they'll drop a package that'll kickstart the sales'.

[Thrillhouse]

Really hope biffy get announced today 

[tricho]

ONE iconic artist? Or one iconic Band?

[Dietediet]

Well literally he said 'icon'. But it's Twitter, so phrasing comes second to saying what you need to say within character limit. And the guy seems to be a big Radiohead fan, based on yesterday's Tweets.
