Rock Werchter 2017

[McCallion]

Right then, announcement Friday, who do we want to see? I'd love to see some early main stage rock names. Thinking of bands like Enter Shikari, Slaves, Cabbage, Blossoms. Still praying for Biffy, Kasabian and The Killers but I know that would be greedy!

Either way, I'm always miles of but here's hoping!

brother that's the best bit that's been written on here in ages.

if they all got announced I would be celebrating in style tonight

I'd love Enter Shikari to be there. Use to go see them in a very small local venue before they signed their first record deal. Top local band for me.

I always think RW has really strong mainstage early acts. I remember Marmozets blowing me away as the first band on stage in 2015. Vintage Trouble, The Van Jets and Kensington all 2016 main stage bands that I hadn't come across before that I now listen to an awful lot!

[Gossard]

Bands that I'm hoping for.....I know I'm greedy but if you shoot at the sun, you might hit a star  

The Killers
Wolfmother
Queens of the Stone Age
Kasabian
Ed Sheeran
The Prodigy
Biffy Clyro

I would die happy. Although i bet i would also have some awful clashes!

Yeah I was so bothered by this also.... I can imagine Wolfmother heading barn, correct me if i'm wrong. I think I would only possible take that on the Friday as I like Radiohead but I am not crazy about them yet and there is so much material to plough through. 

[Antbot89]

I have seen Wolfmother at a few festivals and they have always been a mid day main stage band. Seeing as they havent really progressed or regressed i would expect them to hold a similar position

[McCallion]

Still holding out for Frank Turner as well

True. Having taken Belgium as a foster home since 3 years now, I am always amazed how such a tiny country can produce so many good quality bands and musicians. They do, tbf, support their young talents a lot on the radio, local festivals, contests, etc. so no surprise they have a flourishing music scene.

My wishlist for the rest : Sum41, The Hives, Jamiroquai, Cage the Elephant, Kasabian, Prodigy, Ghinzu, Tout va bien, Cosmo Sheldrake, Higly suspect, Circa Waves, The XX, Milky Chance,...

[Gossard]

Talking about Belgian acts, where are K's Choise? In my 8 times at RW, I've never seen them.....

Kasabian, De Staat, Fatboy Slim, Warpaint, Glass Animals

My half guess, half wishlist 

[McCallion]

I hope they go all in for the Saturday and make it an abhorrent early 2000's pop punk nostalgia brawl! I'm thinking Sum 41, Jimmy Eat World, Paramore. Pretend I'm 14 again! Hahaha

Fat boy Slim would be a great shout. Think we need a more established / classic dance act on the bill

[Muppetmark]

of the bands that have played belgium in the last week who might appear id like Biffy, two door cinema club, clean cut kid or modern baseball to be announced.
