I can't agree, I've been to the two shows and I think that they were both highlights of the festival, but in two different kind of music. Both made the crowd sing and jump on their hits (Gloria for the one + Say my name for the other one), both really well played. Two great shows but never won hands down by one of them.

By the way Pearl Jam are definitely ruled out and won't add an European leg because they headline the Ride festival (Colorado, 9th July).

EDIT : and they are subbed by Cage The Elephant and The Temperance Movement.

Their manager ruled them out months ago.

Chances of sharing acts with Pinkpop? They have Lionel Richie on the Macca day along with All Time Low and Vintage Trouble

 

Edit: Nevermind, Richie has UK gigs that weekend.

Btw Lionel Richie is the coheadliner not shared by Pinkpop with RW  Problem solved.

All Time Low, Vintage Trouble, Bastille, Major Lazer, Skunk Anansie are indeed possibilities !

We had enough Bastille and Major Lazer lately,  haven't we? 

Pinpop's lineup is boring as usual.

We already have electronic acts so Major Lazer is more likely for Pukkelpop, but Bastille had a great success in 2014, so it would not be surprising

EDIT : Major Lazer is even not an option because there won't be any electronic act after Rammstein.

Of course we have a chance  But Pukkelpop could get them instead of Werchter.

I've got a question; We have to celebrate 3 birthdays in my festival team. Usually I buy beer in the festival but I'd like to bring a carton of wine on the campsite this year. Is it allowed ?

The Boss will do TW Classic.

Tbf, TW Classics announcement is amazing. Bruce Springsteen, Lana Del Rey, Lionel Richie, Simply Red, The Van Jets and CC Smugglers. 

[micvet]

Since Jan Smeets always looking down on Rock Werchter, RW now kicks his ass and release all names of a great TW Classic on the Pinkpop press conference day

[McCallion]

Reckon I could just hide in the bushes after RW for 6 days and sneak in?

I couldn't think of a worse way to spend a day but each to their own.  Sure Bruce will keep a lot of people happy

Nah it's not for me but LDR is going to be subbing Werchter soon enough.

You suggesting she'll be announced soon ?.  That would suit the poor line up perfectly

Not sure how you could call this lineup poor after seeing what Pinkpop is doing with the same headliners and for 200 euros for 2,5 days...

And ofcourse LDR won't play RW this year, neither won't she ever sub the festival.

I didn't actually mean this year tbh. I quite like Lana, last album was shit though, which probably explains a new one already.

[McCallion]

From the TW lineup, I think Bruce, LDR, Van Jets, CC Smugglers are all amazing bookings, and Lionel Richie would be good novelty value. Most disapointing thing about it is that it rules Lana Del Rey out for RW

TW Classic often shares some bands with RW

I'm not going to pinkpop so I don't compare. I've bought tickets, flights and tipi and remain really disappointed with RW . You could compare RW at over 200 euros with NOS at half the price and say for double the money it's pretty poor

Not doubting it  Tempted to stay over for 6 days in Leuven to see the lot of em!

Lana Del Rey is a Benelux exclusive for TW Classic. 

Also, Puscifer and Yeasayer doing Belgian club shows mid-June. Makes them very unlikely.
