Rock Werchter 2016

[tricho]

So we'll get PJ for thursday?!

So correct me if i'm wrong. I dont need a Special ticket für Caravan Camping. Everybody in the Caravan needs a Camping XXL Ticket if we want to arrive on Wednesday. Right? Does anybody have experience with caravancamping at werchter?

Biffy Clyro and Bring me the Horizon were announced for Provinssirock which is held on the same weekend as RW....

Pixies for Dour, so ruled out for Werchter.

That's got to be as good as confirmed now surely?

Bit gutted about that but kind of expected it since they played Werchter the last time they were in Europe.

Could see the barn headliners being Tame Impala or Foals, Rudimental, Massive Attack & New Order

Werchter Boutique at Thursday 21th of July with... Rihanna.

[foolee]

Reading & Leeds announcing a headliner at 8am Friday, could be the same headliner that we're sharing with them which would suggest a headliner announcing a few festivals all at once this summer and the reason why Werchter had to wait until 5th December to put the tickets on sale.

[Cammers]

I think RW might share quite a few bands with R&L this year however each band's standing order is totally different due to popularity.

Out of the R&L headliner rumours, I can only see Biffy being shared with RW. Could be Biffy & Closing act for Thurs?

[Noeliam]

Look at the 2014 poster; Biffy was as big as Foals but smaller than Bastille/Interpol/Pixies! They have a new album out so I'd say that they could play before one headliner + closing act?

edit: according to clashfinder, they played the main stage 4th down (before Triggerfinger).

I don't think we'll get Biffy this week. For Belgians they're merely an undercard act, not someone creating huge excitement.

Apparently there will still be an early bird sale for ticket owners of 2015, probably this Thursday. I'm guessing we'll get a name for the first day (like the dance closer) to be able to sell day tickets too, then PJ announcing their tour on Friday.

Ticket prices etc on website now

[micvet]

2,5€ / coupon online in advance
2,75€ / coupon at the venue with card
3,00€ / coupon at the venua with cash

1 coupon = normal drink (beer, softdrink)

[Red Day]

That's a fair hike from this year.  Tokens were 2.5 euros or 2.4 in advance.

Food is pretty crap at RW.  Probably the worst thing about itto be fair.  Otherwise it was excellent.

I think you are.

[Luke Routledge]

Anybody camped in the hive before? Worth spending the extra money?

[Red Day]

Yes. Camped this year and it was excellent 

[Noeliam]

Is it normally sold out by thursday mid-afternoon? I'd say yes...

Is it possible for someone to pitch my tent so I could camp there? I'd say no...

Tickets purchased via presale this morning.  Here's hoping for PJ and the National being announced soon

Might be wrong but as a hunch, PJ aren't there and it's GNR along with R&L announcements. PJ aren't going to be at R&L, wouldn't be enough care now.

More chance PJ than GnR i'd guess

Guns 'n' Roses are supposedly doing a concert on the Graspop fields a few days before Rock Werchter. At least Live Nation asked permission to do a concert there 10 days after GMM, and it's the only hard rock act that can fill the field, besides AC/DC and Metallica.

Ah, I don't know of this? You got a link man? If so then obvs not for GNR at Werchter.
