If they announce BS and another raft of mediocre stuff I'll seriously look at selling tickets and going elsewhere. Not sure it'll sell out this year as ticket sales appear slow. Feeling gutted now that we bought tickets, tipi and paid for flights. Saturday is only day i like so far. 

Still a long way to go yet  Thursday only has one act that I could see on main stage and that a dance closer (Disclosure) and Saturday and Sunday still has a lot of spots left. I do agree that some big rock names wouldn't go amiss though!

[Rouckos]

Eurockéennes : Foals, Ty Segall, Action Bronson, M83, Mac Demarco

 

Hope these 5 !!

I thought last week announcement might have been a bit of a turning point but apparently not

[heti]

Utter shit. Ellie Goulding, Y&Y....geez Thursday really starts to look like it's waiting for Rihanna confirmation ;/

0/7. What a pile of shit

[ParanoidTourist]

I've booked tickets to NOS instead this year. First time since 2007 I'm not at Werchter.

This announcement MUST be a joke...

Wish I'd done same. It's like a shit TITP or V. They should just call it werchter. Using rock in their name is decieving 

[heti]

This announcement also gives me the strong feeling that Boss isn't coming on Thursday, cause there's just way TOO many bands that don't fit the idea of a classic rock headliner.

I've been doing my best to stay positive about this lineup but it's really getting progressively worse. I love RW and really want to come back but at the moment there's only Rammstein really doing anything major for me. Think I'm going to have to start considering alternatives, however much that disappoints me.

If we hadn't bought and paid for everything there's no way I'd go. No idea what they're playing at this year and I expected so much better. TITP took a sell out for granted and struggle to shift tickets now. If RW through together a poor quality line up and take their audience for granted, they'll go same way. It's not as if Europe doesn't offer a huge choice of festivals 

[McCallion]

On the lineup page, Ellie Goulding is being listed at the top, along with RHCP, Editors, Rammstein and Florence. All other acts in alphabetical order. PLEASE tell me this doesn't mean Ellie Goulding is main stage co-headliner with someone??

In the email it says 'more news to follow shortly'.

Is it worth reading anything into this...?

Probably just referring to next fridays announcement 

[McCallion]

Part of me hopes Springsteen confirms and Ellie Goulding subs, just to see her performing to an army of middle aged hardcore Bruce fans! Haha.

Have you ever seen a shittier announcement in the history of Rock Werchter ?

Nope. And I've been coming since 2008. Already bought tickets so I'm stuck with RW but now I'm scared.

Although Friday is great for me and Saturday - promising. Thursday is a tragedy/..

[Muppetmark]

Your not joking. Looks like the generic T or V line ups. really disappointing this year.
