If NOS nailed both 1 of 2 AF festival shows and 1 of 3 of Radiohead then RW are messing up big time.  Well done to NOS!

It might be strong, but for me it's shit. Only 1 headliner I'd care about which is rammstein. Really regretting getting tickets and flights this year. I thought with last year being so shit they might have a stronger year in 2016. Obviously not

Kinda agree with that. RHCP, Flo and spring do nowt for me. PJ, Radiohead and Arcade Fire would suit me so mich more

[Thrillhouse]

If the rumours of Springsteen are true, do people think that he could be confirmed before Friday or will we have to wait?

Agree as well, although RHCP are ok for me. in my opinion the festival should benefit from a headliner in the vein of Radiohead, Arcade Fire etc. since we already have pop (Florence), metal-ish (Rammstein) and hit-friendly rock (RHCP).

I hope this Pinkpop statement is a bit dated since the organiser only mentions 2 European festival dates for Radiohead and they are already booked for 3.

[Nicklord]

Is that reliable? Those dates for Springsteen? 

[yaniv297]

It's all rumors yet, but most Bruce sites seem to agree about those dates...

Reckon this means that they're moving FATM to Thursday headliner with Disclosure and putting Springsteen on Sunday? Would match the rumoured leaks going around on fan forums.

RW/Live Nation says 30/06 is a mistake from the FATM webmaster.

What is the chance for arcade fire to headline??

None. They said they're doing only 2 festivals this summer. Both already announced: Spain and Portugal

Apparently theyre only doing 2 european festivals, and they've already confirmed as many. For that reason I'd say unlikely, however you can never be 100% with these things

[Tremousse]

Admitting Bruce is the Sunday headliner, who for Thursday ?

Paul McCartney and Queen+AL would be contenders for TW Classic. Please no Rihanna. GnR too expensive. No Radiohead. No Arcade Fire. Please no Adele. 

It raises my hopes for Pearl Jam to add dates (over the possibly cancelled ones). Maybe the Kings Of Leon once again ? The mystery is entire.

Why not Radiohead? I know that Pinkpop organizer said something about them but he's always a little bit cryptic.

So for me they're always the most likely contender for Thursday.

You're not wrong sir, I don't totally trust Jan Smeets.. If the Boss comes on Thursday, the headliners would be already strong with him, RHCP, Rammstein, Editors and Florence... If Radiohead comes it would be an awesome line-up. If PJ comes (+ Bruce) it would become the best line-up of a festival in 2016 (and even more) in my opinion.

Nah. Plenty of Belgian mid-sized festivals aiming at retro acts.

New announcement: Rock Werchter will screen the movie Gutterdammerung, accompanied by a live band including Henry Rollins.
