Rock Werchter 2017


Red Day

Recommended Posts

I don't think we'll get any announcements until mid January. Their facebook banner got changed into a general one (usually it's a picture of a band until the next announcement), they tweeted a poster of the current line-up, last week we didn't get an announcement, their charity action in Belgium just ended, last year they also took a break mid December,... all these things make it look this is it until 2017.

Depends on where you're at.  If you're in UK then most cards will charge you a covertion fee, somethimes around £12.  If you're paying from a card that is set in euros then you'll probably just pay what the overall cost of ticket and booking fee is

Alice in Chains touring in s-america in the spring. I'd love to see them at RW. I've seen them a few times over the last few years and even if it's not the same band without Layne, they're still pretty decent....

I agree. I saw them at Werchter a couple of years ago and they were awesome.

So Coachella's line up has just been released... I notice that rumours about The War On Drugs were fake ! :( But good news are that Future Islands are back !! We need them at Rock Werchter ! From the line-up I'd also take Father John Misty, Capital Cities, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, The Lemon Twigs, The Head and the Heart, Bon Iver, Bastille, Devendra Banhart, Car Seat Headrest and of course, most of all,  Kaleo !

I love their album, I see them in Paris in 3 weeks ! If you like Kaleo, you should give a listen to Dorothy, a kind of female Kaleo (without folk tracks) (I'm going to send you a PM)!

If it is the Weeknd where do you think he will play? Assuming it would be before Radiohead or Foos. Still holding out for the Killers! 

He's headlining every other festival he's been announced for so far, including Nos Alive, Benicassim and Open'er.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
