[Red Day]

That Saturday will be a fabulous day

[jonnyf]

Very happy with Frank Carter awesome live act.

[heti]

Cheers to Mark Lanegan And Frank Carter but I expected a bit more. 1st announcement that made me felt "boooring". Anyway...still waiting 4 more  Ryan Adams, Frank TURNER PLS

[Orens]

Soulwax is an insane live act. They recorded their first album since 2005 on Tuesday, in one take, and announced it Thursday.

Check out their incredible 2016 live setting at Pukkelpop. So many drums and drum machines, I lost count.

Ive heard of soulwax in their guise as 2manydjs and think they used to be about over here....

Can anyone give me a bit of insight into mark lanegan and where to start with him

This is my favourite Mark Lanegan song: 

...but you might remember him with Screaming Trees: 

...but my personal favourite Mark Lanegan moment is here with Layne Staley (Alice In Chains) and Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) in the supergroup Mad Season.....you won't get a much better singing duo then Mark Lanegan and Layne Staley!!

Just listened to Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, very impressive! Frank Turner had a good chance of being added to the Saturday as he's the main support for Blink 182's uk tour. Another possibility is Jimmy eat world, as they're in Germany before and after the festival.

A few more indie acts would be welcomed (Foster the people, circa waves), but right now the only poor day is friday, and even then you have Radiohead playing!

You have pretty much covered it, although it's a free train ride to leuven.

Then you get the free shuttle bus to the festival site.

You do but if you use the station at the airport you need to pay a fee over and above the free rail ticket. Think it's around 4 euros

Never knew that, I always thought it was free travel anywhere in Belgium.

Anywhere but the airport station. You could still use it without paying if no one check your ticket until last year. Last year you couldn't get in or out before paying the Diabolo fee because they put automatic gates.

If the Saturday ends up being Frank Carter - Frank Turner - JEW - Blink - SOAD - LP I will have the actual best day ever.

Funny, but for me that would be the worst day ever in my 'Rock Werchter attending' history. Can't believe people are still hyped up for Linking Park or Blink 182 (minus the frontman) in 2017. The saturday has literally 0 appealing names for me at the moment...

Linkin Park is literally the ugliest music I can imagine. 

Your family must be proud
