If Soundgarden are booking european dates for June/July they will play Hellfest for sure. They are not in the poster leaked, so if that poster become real I would say for sure that Soundgarden won't be in Europe in June/July.

Sparticus Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Any thoughts for who the last two sub headliners will be? Under Radiohead - Bon Iver or Frank Ocean, both would fit well and possibly too big to play in the barn. Under Foos - Pixies (touring, cheaper option as Foos will sell tickets on their own) or Ed Sheeran (rumoured for Glastonbury, big pop act to balance out all the rock acts so far).

Dietediet Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 First Les Ardentes announcement on Friday. So that's again things to rule out. Have a gut feeling it will be Frank Ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is on Bastille as one of the subs, although RW might stuck them to headline the Barn againt Foo's or Radiohead. I think Bon Iver (if playing) suits the Barn much more than sub the main stage. I dont know Frank Ocean popularity in Belgium but he didnt seem to impress the Barn audience in 2013 as far as I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davywalsh7 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Seriously considering going back next year but struggling accomodation wise (stayed in ibis leuven last time) too old for camping so looking for nearby hotels. Found a few cheap airport hotels 15km away. Anyone know if it's much hassle to travel to/from here to the festival each day? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem getting back to Leuven on the shuttles. But beyond that might be hard. There are no trains and I don't remember there being taxis, although I can't be sure about that. Accomodation in in the city has booked up fast this year. We were struggling a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoL, it was only a matter of time, but I'm not complaining.. I'll get to see what you're all talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDNL Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Not particularly interested in KOL or LP but even still, that's a strong lineup of headliners. Think KOL headlined the Sunday on their own the last time I was at RW, so placing them alongside AF is an instant improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe KOL will have beards next year... Someone should suggest them.

siweltrebor Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 their lineup is getting better and better, it's huge right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffRichardsPissSack Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 pound for pound one of the strongest set of headliners i have seen. 6 stadium size bands for around £200? Not necessarily a fan of all of them but considering thats the same kind of price End of the road charge....x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undefined Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Hi guys A few of us are definitely doing RW this year instead of Glasto, and as it'll be our first time at RW I'd really appreciate some tips. We've all been going to various UK & European festivals for years, so it'd be interesting to hear how RW compares in some of the areas I mention below from anyone who's been. We are intending to take a tent and just book a Hive Myspace pitch. Whats the Hive area like generally, in terms of atmosphere, proximity to the stages, after hours entertainment, toilet/shower facilities (latter least important), access to food & alcohol etc. I guess we won't be taking much in terms of our own food and booze, so what're the bars like - do they generally sell the spirits you'd expect, beer etc, or is it predominantly beer (a couple of my mates don't drink beer). [EDIT] So if we wanted a beer for breakfast, is that easily obtainable if we don't take our own booze? Should we be taking our own booze?! We're hoping to just take the Eurostar and then the festival bus, I assume it's generally a fairly simple trip, even with bags/tents/possibly camping chairs? I'm guessing wellies should be taken? Any insight would be much appreciated! Cheers Edited November 30, 2016 by undefined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e2p2 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I think Friday sounds like a good time to announce some high profile acts from Primavera. Bon Iver or the xx (can they be counted as a dance act so they can close Thursday?) along with some other names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the lineup I'd quite like Against Me, Aphex Twin, Descendents, Skepta and Run the Jewels (Guess those aren't big names though).

They don't share many bands, but there are always some and you already have AF on both. Last year TLSP, Tame Impala, PJ Harvey and more played in both festivals. More so, Bon Iver, the xx, Frank Ocean and others who played RW before are legitimate candidates for playing this year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idioteque87 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Before Radiohead I'd like The XX and then Bon Iver. That would be my chill out day. Before Foo's is it too much to ask for Pixies and QOTSA? Edited November 30, 2016 by idioteque87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
