PJ Harvey and Tenacious D for Roskilde (30/6-2/7)

Bastille for Bravalla (30/6-2/7)

Guy Garvey playin English shows on 24-25/6

Bloc Party, Yeasayer, Caribou, Deftones and Iggy Pop for Northside (17-19/6)

I dont get it.  We'll  probably get at least 5  from this list.  Pick any 5 of them and they're much better and more crowd pleasures  then the five we got last friday.. 

On other note,  if PJ were supposed  to be announced last friday but postponed their tour announcement  to January like people from 10Club forums suggested - would RW wait for them or try to make other plans?

Wait for them, I guess. They definitely won't pull out on Pearl Jam, it's a certified sold out day despite the often repeats. If these stories are true I imagine RW to announce some strong Thursday names (sub/dance closer/Barn headliner) this and next week. At least that gets the ticket sales going while they're waiting for PJ.

The reason I asked my question is that if they're waiting anyway,  why didnt they announced a sub/closer/Barn headliner last Friday? Maybe they're thinking about changing this day lineup according to another headliner,  especially if that PJ tour isnt 100% certainty ?

I am 70% sure the last headliner is Coldplay, sorry PJ fans!

What makes you think this? Will be happy either way to be honest but think it would be strange to have Coldplay do Germany-Belgium-Germany 3 days in a row.

Foals have just been announced for NOS Alive on 8th July so could be contenders but think they might do Pukkelpop just because they're going to be headlining R&L

Had to be done, we don't want things to seem what they aren't do we lol.

AC/DC are going to annonce european dates. Bruce Springsteen has announced a US tour. Maybe gigs in Europe after... 2 headliners are missing. I can see Pearl Jam on thursday and concerning sunday... Many choices (ACDC, Bruce, Kings of Leon (admit you forgot them lol), Guns'n'Roses... Coldplay seems unlikely, Foo Fighters too but the shootings in Paris have changed their calendar... U2 doesn't seem probable too...The Libertines are touring but I don't know how big they are in Belgium. Don't forget Paul McCartney, , the Rolling Stones and many more (Eminem?)) . + subheadliners like Foals or/and the National

Florence is the main headliner on Sunday, not really doubting that. For Thursday I guess we'll have to wait and see. If they have withdrawn their European tour, perhaps Werchter can work together with the other festivals that had PJ lined up, in order to attract a new headliner.

Glen Hansard, the national and Mac demarco playing in Holland the week before werchter

I strongly hope that Glen Hansard come, with Pearl Jam, for a "Drive All Night", and I'd love the National too.

So you think Sunday will be a regular structure of a sub-> Flo ->main-stage closer like FF-> KoL-> Stromae in 2014?

Yes. Something like The National or Ellie Goulding -> Florence -> Netsky or Major Lazer + typical RW undercard could easily sell out by March.

The National - Florence + the Machine - Netsky  ....though I agree with Dietediet it would probably sell out quite quickly, it would go down as the worst day in my opinion in my 8 times at RW :) 

I really started to wonder where you are @Gossard... Im glad you're back B)

Thank you my friend. I had decided not to go next year but my 17yr old daughter(I know, I'm an old man ;) ) wants to go and I thought I'd go with her for her first time.....plus, all this talk of Pearl Jam has gotten me all worked up :P

Yeah i'd expect an announcement today.

 

Happy Friday Werchter announcement!

 

Also I would be interested in how everyone is doing Werchter this year cost etc.

 

I am personally planning on flying to Amsterdam for £30 stopping 3 night and then travelling over on the train to Werchter (2 hours) before flying home for £19 from Brussels Charleroi! Exciting times

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
