There was only due to be 6 acts on main stage on the Thursday until Foo Fighters pulled out bear in mind as Royal Blood and FNM were Foo's replacements. I'm thinking similarly this year as Foo's were meant to play for 2.5/3 hours which I think Macca will have therefore only 6 main stage acts unless they open the gates earlier. I'd say 3/4 more acts each day Thurs - 1 Main, 2 Klub C, Fri - 1 Main, 1 Klub C & 1-2 Barn, Sat - 3 Klub C, Sun - 1 Main, 1 Barn & 1-2 Klub C

Was meant to be - Marmozets, EODM, Rise Against, Florence & The Machine, Foo Fighters and The Chemical Brothers

But it turned out to be - Marmozets, EODM, Royal Blood, Rise Against, F&TM, Faith No More and The Chemical Brothers

There was also a change on Sunday, which is not in the clashfinder, the vaccines played in the main stage and not in the barn, I think it was because Jessie J cancel if I remember well.

Yep that makes them more likely to play at Pukkelpop... Of course there is still a chance for The National  But now we need luck

placebo announcing world tour on monday, do we have a chance? maybe subbing Paul on thursday

[Dietediet]

The Lowlands announcement doesn't mean that much, since they've also got Disclosure, James Blake, Foals, TLSP, ...

I really hope the national get announced. One of my fave bands. If that's the placebo dates above I'm in for the Glasgow gig

Me too (for the National)  It makes a while I pray for having one band among these ones : Frank Turner - The National - Kula Shaker - Frightened Rabbit - Gogol Bordello. One woud be enough ! Now chances are pretty weak, I need a miracle !

Any chance you can book the line up for RW from now on. I'd take any of those you mention 

[blazingdog]

Would love for Frank Turner, The National, Frightened Rabbit or Biffy to be announced today (as some others have said) but sadly can't see it happening :-(

That's a big tour for them now. 6 arenas plus Brighton Centre and Newport Centre. Such awkward dates in the week.

The amazing this is these wouldn't get close to topping Reading now and the tour is no smaller than the co-headers.

Not too fussed on The National (as i've never listened tbf) but the rest would be smashing. 

 

Kendrick too. 

[foolee]

Biffy Clyro and All Time Low is all I really really want and hoping for! I would also take Everything Everything, The Maccabees, Tenacious D and Bloc Party but they'd just be a bonus.

[McCallion]

My dream announcement remains the same after last week. Biffy, Tenacious D, Slaves, Kendrick, Royal Republic, although I can't see much of that happening at this point (I feel most of them would have announced by now.)

[neacaisa]

This week, the final 8 confirmations came in. These are: James Bay, Elle King, The London Souls, Blackberry Smoke, BAZART, Alice on the roof,Barns Courtney and Frightened Rabbit. The London Souls and Barns Courtney complete the line-up of Thursday 30 June. Blackberry Smoke and Fright-ened Rabbit will come to Werchter on Friday 1 July. Bazart has been added to Saturday 2 July. James Bay, Elle King and Alice On The Roof will all be present on Sunday 3 July. For a overview of this year’s line-up, go to http://goo.gl/T38jlu

[McCallion]

Meh

[Mar2190]

FRABBIT! 

 

Blackberry Smoke is ace as well but looks like they'll clash with Frabbit. 

[McCallion]

Right then, so no we have the full lineup. I think I'm probably happier with the lineup than most however I do think we could have really used another 2 or 3 heavy hitters to add to to excitement (Biffy, Tenacious D etc.) 

[Dietediet]

There's no more obvious way to say "ticket sales are going good, we stop making effort" than those last 2 announcements.

Seriously, only 5 acts in KluB C on Saturday?

[Red Day]

That's line up complete as well. Without sounding like a broken record I'm really disappointed with RW this year.  Just find there's no spark in it. Enjoyed my trip to RW last year and will enjoy a week with mates but music wise  it hasn't done it for me

I'm with you, looks great for me. Biffy/Frank would have been good but I'll be seeing them at Leeds/Groez anyway

 

I'm treating it mostly as a holiday as we're doing 2 nights in Brussels then on to Werchter. Plus it's a lot of acts I enjoy but wouldn't necessarily pay to see them at their own gigs which is great. 

[Hyllebergxd]

Damn... The dissapointment is real. My debut year in 2014 was way, way better than this... Well, more time to get pissed in The Hive then...

Edited March 11, 2016 by Hyllebergxd

[McCallion]

I think theres a lot of good acts here, just scattered across the stages. Last year, I pretty much camped at the MainStage, this year there will be a lot more movement for sure.

Ignoring potential clashes, heres my fest.

THURS - London Souls, Kaiser Chiefs, Flume, Gutterdamerung, Paul McCartney, Disclosure (depending whats on in the Hive)
FRI - Blossoms, The Van Jets, BMTH, Richard Hawley, ATDI, Offspring, Rammstein 
SAT - The Struts, Courtney Barnet, Band Of Horses, TDCC, Goose (whoever the fuck they are), RHCP, Editors
SUN - Vintage Trouble, Strypes, James Bay, Iggy Pop, LSP, Macklemore (still can't believe they're not on last), Beck
