If you're staying in Leuven I'd recommend looking for the Colruyt in the city center. Much more choice concerning alcohol and cheaper than the Carrefour at the station, which is more aiming at the commuters passing by. 

Thanks for this. Really useful. Spent an absolute fortune at the festival last time. 

[Red Day]

I found the stalls between the arena and the hive decent enough. Choice of food in arena is dreadful so having grub on way in was s better idea

[Dietediet]

Suede ruled out, playing Les Ardentes.

Finger crossed. I love them

North Sea Jazz, a week after Werchter : Vintage Trouble, Steven Wilson (who also plays in Barcelona, 2nd July)... They would be great names ! Vintage Trouble seems really close to Werchter now (they are already at Bergenfest and NOS)

A reliable Belgian source at Live Nation told me Flume will be playing there as well this year! Quality name if you ask me!

sounds like it would be a great addition! flume is fantastic.

the announcements started shabby but the last couple seem to indicate a turning point. tomorrows announcement will be, to me, a moment of make it or break it.

im hoping for some bloc party, foals and weezer. if those three are added, then the festival is ON

[lightning1000]

Weezer are in the USA when the fest in on 

[Dietediet]

Flogging Molly ruled out because of a different Belgian festival.

Bands likely to be in tomorrow's announcement:

- Foals (their Belgian concert was earlier this week)

- Walk Off The Earth (announcing a Belgian Summer date tomorrow and already playing Main Square)

- Nothing But Thieves (adding European festival dates tomorrow)

What is the likelihood of All Time Low do you know? As they're in Europe in June and played Pukkelpop last year

Foals would be excellent for me. Their last album was one of my albums of 2015.

 

Nothing But Thieves I would enjoy and just checked out Walk Off The Earth and they sound really good.

 

Hope you're spot on!

[McCallion]

Tomorrow I'm hoping for Royal Republic. New album out, maybe some more festival gigs?

[Mar2190]

Biffys announced another show around the end of June, Belsonic on 25th. Just announce them today and I don't care who gets announced between now and the fest.

[carlosd]

Tenacious D is in denmark on the 30th and Sweeden July 1st. Any chances of them visiting us on the second or third? I am dying to see them live.

Biffy are playing Thursday in Sweden and Sat in Finland. Boo. 

[Dietediet]

This guy on a different forum who now made several correct predictions on Belgian festivals (including Werchter) said something cryptic. He said that one of the main reasons to go to Best Kept Secret festival will also be a reason to go Werchter as of this evening. 

Looking at that lineup and their tour dates, it would imply Beck or Beach House.

[kris0624]

I'd be wanting Bloc Party or Dinosaur JR from that Best Kept Secret lineup. Not too much else I'd personally get excited for.

[raccamme]

just not christine and queens pleaaasssseeeee!!!

[McCallion]

Beck, Foals, The 1975, James Blake, Lianne La Havas, Flume, Lost Frequencies, The Van Jets, Kensington en Walk Off The Earth

 

Pretty dece once again!

[yaniv297]

Beck is a fantastic addition. Lineup looking good suddenly.

[heti]

Woohooo...FOALS

[McCallion]

Beck is also Barn headliner on Sunday. Solid alternative to Florence. 

[Dietediet]

That Sunday is suddenly looking great: Beck, Last Shadow Puppets, Iggy Pop, Foals, Jamie XX, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, ...
