AndrewSmith Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Loving all the new music today but Arcade Fire have released an incredible track there! I went to the Royal Blood album launch on Wednesday and they were on top form! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemons Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Every so often I'll suddenly remember another act that's playing and I'm hyped all over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-roe79 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I was hoping for Slowdive, The Jesus and Mary Chain and/or Ride throughout all of the lineup announcements so this is great news. I saw Slowdive open up their North American tour a few months ago and they were fantastic. I also had no interest in Kaleo so this is great news.

Red Day Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 That Arcade Fire tune is really good. Really looking forward to RW this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really appreciate it if you could keep me informed. Thanks! We gonna have a hot and sunny week again. April, May and June have never been so dry since 1976 so I think you can let your boots at home Have a nice flight and enjoy Europe, RW and Belgium!

Gossard Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Just saw the Foo Fighters last night here in Iceland. They Played a short set, only hour and a half, but they were very energetic. The set contained a mix of the classics and three live debuts, all of witch were great. Lah Di Da especially, It sounded so much like a classic Foo Fighters song that I actually thought at first that I'd heard that song before.... http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/foo-fighters/2017/laugardalur-park-reykjavik-iceland-23e4a87b.html At one point during the show Dave introduced a new drummer, the 2nd generation of Grohl. His daughter Harper Grohl came out and sat behind the drums, her live debut I believe It was a sweet moment Anyway, I can't wait to see them again in two weeks and play a lot longer set. We're in for a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already leave Today so I gave them the latest weather forecast. There is always a chance that it will rain during RW but a real mud edition like last year will (normaly) not happen. So they can let their wellies at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhud14 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 thank you both. hoping for no rain, but i think we'll be ok with a little rain and no wellies. (not like RW last year or typical glasto) thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Owl Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 So, KoL had a show here in Bucharest last night. I myself did not attend as I'll see them in 1.5 weeks anyway, but everyone whom I know and was there said it was good. I saw some videos and also listened to some audio material from a friend and I liked it. I figure that a festival show is not the same as a stand alone one, but that got me more excited about seeing them. Now, in regards to rain... I ain't worried about Sandy (my tent) cause he's been through a couple of storms so I trust he can handle it. My worry is that we're not taking any wellies with us and I don't like to go around with wet and cold feet... in case we'll need them is there anywhere in Leuven we can get any?

Did they play Slow Night, So Long ? Glad to hear it was good, last I saw them I loved it, and my festival team love them too! I can't help you for the wellies :/ I hope Sandy will have a good time !! The Hive is a beautiful neighbourhood (as Eddie Vedder said in 2014) and I'm sure he will enjoy the other campsites too ! I'm happy to see I'm not the only festival buddy to bring non-human friends... Here is Philippe The Unicorn (that my friends offered me for my 23rd birthday), the superstar of our camp !

Yes, I found the setlist on setlist.fm and they did play it. Haha, nice to meet Philippe The Unicorn! He's amazing. We'll have our little mascot also: Pax, the travelling fox. He's the character of a book I read recently and comes from a bookstore in Berlin. He already went to two concerts until now and will be present at Werchter also.

Mossed Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hello all. I'm new to the festival game and wondering if there will be scalpers outside of the festival selling day tickets? I've been trying on Ticket Swap for a couple months now, but for whatever reason, my ability to be the first one to buy said tickets is non existent. I get it, that Saturday lineup is stacked. If I'm unable to get tickets, it'll be a disappointment, but I'm sure there will be other events/things to do in Europe for a first time visitor.

duhud14 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Does anyone know if it's better to pick up camping supplies (no tent necessary, staying at hive resort) in Brussels before the train or after the train in Leuven? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heti Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 So ...Apero serves craft beer. Now I have to reconsider my whole timetable strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetechi Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Reading this information http://www.rockwerchter.be/frontend/files/userfiles/files/RW17-infocontroles-EN.pdf SO surprised at some of the items not allowed in? Water bottles? Folding chairs? I mean, I get that security has to be tight but think it's a shame they're cracking down quite so much.

Yes eversince that attack at the airport they don't take any chances. In case of hot weather water will probably be free (or cheaper).

I very much hope so - the only festival I've ever been to where you can't take water in and then have to pay £3.50 a bottle is Reading, an experience I hope to forget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThijsDB Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Just take some bottle caps with you in your pockets so you can keep a bottle and fill it up with the free water! Actually, last year they left the cap on, free water forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
