Queen doing a Brussels arena show in June. That leaves Elton John and Neil Young for TW Classic contenders, unless they're altering the format and putting Coldplay there with some pop acts. 

What do you mean altering the format?

Usually TW classic books the classic acts, aiming at a slightly older audience than RW. But there are rare occasions where it's different (Black Eyed Peas headlined once).

Neil Young ruled out, Belgian arena show in June.

AC DC is playing in Werchter Site May 16th according Ticketmaster Spain (this date is not in their Facebook announcement, but Ticketmaster will sell the tickets for their Spanish date in Sevilla, and that date isn't also included in their Facebook post). Maybe this is the TW classic act.

Sounds very plausible indeed!

Also: WIz Khalifa self-confirmed for Dour, so no Werchter.

May 16th is a Monday.....you think TW Classic could be on a Monday?

That was my first thought as well, but apparently it's a holiday. Same holiday as in 2012, when Metallica played Werchter Boutique on a Monday, so getting permission shouldn't be an issue.

Best kept secret announce first acts...

do they usually share artists with rock werchter?

 

i'd like to see beck and unknown mortal orchestra @ werchter.

They usually share about 10-20 acts. These two you mentioned are indeed great possibilities and I like to see them too but other Belgian festivals might suit them better.

    • 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
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
