Rock Werchter 2016

[tricho]

=)... can't wait!

[Tremousse]

Today's announcement should be awesome.

[Noeliam]

Hello

I've changed some plans! I'll be able to go to Werchter only Thursday (possible Radiohead day). Do you think it'll sell out instantly?

[markmoo]

Is it a definite no for guns and roses, also what are the chances of chemical brothers,gogol bordello, sterophonics,the cure

[Red Day]

Iconic artist- brisn wilson ??

[ParanoidTourist]

Icon: could mean any older artist like Bruce Springsteenm Neil Young et al. Im still hoping for Radiohead however + awesome sub acts. Perhaps New Order in the Barn.

[e2p2]

I don't remember them announcing headliner + other names on the same day, at least not in recent years. But then again, this edition started weird...

[Gucci Piggy]

I'm fairly sure Radiohead can be classed as an iconic artist.

[Hawky93]

Longitude have announced a few names, it would be nice to see a few of them at werchter. Tyler The Creator / The National /Major Lazer

 

 

[Mr. luiguibangbang]

That is funny, I feel complete the opposite

[McCallion]

The Last Shadow Puppets, New Order, Disclosure, Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters, Paul Kalkbrenner and Black Box Revelation.

 

Decent announcement but still no headliner

[McCallion]

What do you guys think this means for Radiohead? Still likely even though they haven't been confirmed this week

[Dietediet]

So the guy saying an icon and some great names would come was right. And trolling at the same time.

Well at least we now know TLSP aren't just doing Primavera and Glasto. The header must be coming in an hour in it's own announcement.

[alan_ts]

Some nice additions but where's Radiohead?!?!?!

[Red Day]

Another piss poor announcement. Regretting buying ticket and trzvel now. Other than new order I'm well hacked off with last two batches

[Thrillhouse]

I'd watch TLSP but that's another pretty poor announcement for me. Shame, as I was just waiting for a few decent names today before booking my ticket, but I guess I'll hold off for now.

For me this is probably the best of the non-headline announcements so far, however it's odd how RW are announcing the acts this year, releasing a lot of lower/barn&KlubC acts first. This time last year we had fewer, bigger names (Foos, Muse, Kravitz, Chems, Damien Rice, Florence, Alt-J, War On Drugs, Rise Against, Pharell). Still have a lot of hope for this years edition, assuming we get a big Thursday headliner (I mean Radiohead, Rammstein and Chilis would make for one of the best headline editions in Europe IMO) but I would like just one anouncement with a few higher profile names (Radiohead, Tenacious D, Biffy, Stereophonics) just to give me hope!

 

We do also now have 2 acts for the Thursday (New Order and Disclosure) which makes me think the organisers now have some idea who will be headlining that day.

[Dietediet]

I'm assuming that Disclosure is closing Main Stage (based on their spots elsewhere). So indeed, the headliner must be more or less set then. 

[McCallion]

I know nothing about Black Box Revelation but according to their twitter they're on the main stage. Don't know if that affect anything! haha

[thewayiam]

I somehow don't think Werchter have Radiohead. As they are touring North America in July I reckon they could be playing over there Werchter weekend. GnR will be out too as they are playing prior to anyone.

Radiohead is playing NOS Alive the 8th of july!

[barak822]

I'm very pissed and disappointed!!

I think i'm gonna go the primavera this year
