Rock Werchter 2017

happy for Soulwax. The others are absolutely not my thing.

[neacaisa]

I know soulwax are huge in belgium, but it's already a serious downfall in terms of size of names...

[Skankhunt42]

so disappointed 3 lots of announcements on the trot with little strength in them with regards acclaim... can anyone tell me if any of these ones are good or where to start with checking them out?

There can only be so many big names

[carlosd]

not super excited tbh. soulwax and frank carter are nice ads. mura masa is not really my thing. the rest I dont really know, will have to listen to them.

[Apocalyptica]

I don't know any of these bands. Have to check out all on YouTube now. 

[SoLoCo]

Very happy with Soulwax. Thats it really. 

[neacaisa]

So... soulwax subbing or closing main and the other important spots are still open... I guess.

[AAlex]

Personally I don't think gorillaz will be playing this year, but...

First Benjamin Clementine gets added who's the guest on their latest track, then soulwax who I only know from their DARE remix which features on their singles collection have followed... both on the Sunday.

A boy can dream

Really happy with Mark Lanegan and Soulwax should be fun.....you guys think they'll play after Foos as a dance-act  or in one of the tents?

No way Soulwax will be subbing main. And with FF I don't expect an other main closer. 

My bet would be Klub C closer.

Soulwax Sunday. They'll clash with the Foo's in my opinion.

They said that the Foo's will finish the day. So They will close the Barn/Club C I think. Alt-J for the Barn and Soulwax for the Club C. For me, terrible clash this day between the three.

[neacaisa]

if you guys are right... then we still have that main stage sub spot... would be great. let's wait for the next couple of weeks.

[Muppetmark]

I have 5 acts i want to see each day already. I'm happy with that

No way Soulwax is closing main. That's a Foo's job to do this year  Soulwax closed the dancehall last year at pukkelpop. They"ll probably close Klub C on sunday at werchter

Hopefully Mark lanegan coming means he can drag his old QOTSA mates with him! 

[neacaisa]

well, it's the first time i hear about Rae Sremmurd... so unhappy they are the only hip-hop act announced so far, they are utter trash...

Alt-j will close the Barn I think and Bastille, Kasabian or QOTSA will sub The Foo's on the main.

That's pretty much what I do for a festival, nothing worse than to many clashes.

Having glastonbury the week before will hopefully sort out any clashes i have.  

[kris0624]

Nothing much really there for me this week. Oh well, still plenty to see each day already.

Haven't seen this layout of poster before, you would think with the amount of acts in the larger text above the co headliners on Thursday we still have some 'bigger' names to come, especially Saturday/Sunday!

I hope you are right. So we are expecting 2 more big acts?
