Because in the rare event of sharing acts with other Belgian fests (except Pukkelpop, they share every year), RW gets to announce them first. 

Correct.
+ It would not be smart for Zottegem to share several groups (headliners for them) with a huge festival as RW the week before. Especially in the TW Classic weekend.

Makes me. Question Beligium as a nation. ;)

They have Editors as a headliner at RW on a regular basis due to their popularity it seems.  Not a massive band in UK but they are in Belgium.  Happy if Biffy aren't that big in Belgium as it keeps me hoping they'll be announced.

It also makes me question the UK. Ha!

I saw Editors in Birmingham a few months ago, walked in and straight to the front. 

I'm not sure why they aren't that big here in the UK.....

I'll be seeing them twice this year as they are supporting the Manic Street Preachers (yes, that's right).

Thanks for clearing that up. It made no sense on the surface haha

You and me both, unless there's something better on at the Barn or Klub

The Manics are a billion times the band Editors are.

Had pleasure of seeing them at the O2 when they played the 38 singles set.  Awesome 

I was at that gig, hell of a set.

i remember being absolutely knackered after that night. And dripping in sweat waking back to Canary Wharf as the trains had stopped.

I'm not saying they aren't. I'm a bit of a super fan, I have actually lost count the amount of times I've seen them.

As one of my favourite records I went three times To The Holy Bible your last year/2014.

im just making the point that they are a pretty big support act.

Do you expect an announcement every friday or do you think we'll get the last acts later?

the line up is already great imo and I don't need any particular additions but seeing who's touring I'd like to see Cypress Hill, Moderat, Sufjan Stevens and few more (maybe some dance/hip hop act).

Anyway this lineup could be enough for me right now.

We're getting announcements every Friday until the lineup is done. There's about 25 acts still to be announced, so in 2 or 3 weeks the lineup should be completed.

With 57 already announced, 20-25 are still to be announced, like you said. So I still have high hopes for Tenacious D and Bloc Party being announced.

Even if Groezrock seems to make him unlikely, Frank Turner has been announced at Vainstream festival (Germany, 02/07)... Fingers crossed.

 

Frank would just be the best. Announce him and Biffy and I won't ask for anything else.

I'd like these on Friday.

Biffy

Billy Talent 

Father John misty 

Frank Turner 

Killswitch engage 

Preferably added between Thursday and Sunday 

If Biffy, Billy talent and Frank got added that would potentially be the best announcement of the whole fest so far. Nothing is beat The Offspring into ATDI though....unless of course one of these are involved with it as well.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
