Never gonna happen I'm that confident I bought reading tickets already hah ..

[Mar2190]

I'm easily pleased tbh, every announcement so far has had at least 1 act I'm excited for so figure today will be the same.

Eddie Vedder

Dinosaur Jr.

Wilco

Teenage Fanclub

Peaches

Chic with Nile Rogers

Run DMC

Jamiroquai

Nick Cave...don't count on it. He's touring in America until the 29th of June, and has already announced an european indoor tour from end september until mid november.

Sum 41, The Hives, Jamiroquai, Kasabian, Warhola, Pendulum would make my day. 

No Pendulum, they just got announced for Dour.

Eddie Vedder is the dream, but I just can't see him doing anything other than headline.

Exactly, he's a perfect headliner for the Barn. not to be underestimated: capacity of 14000!

It's just a dj set though, I guess it doesn't matter too much. But they don't fit too much for Werchter and have just a few of live dates so they were highly unlikely even before. 

[fillou]

It would be fantastic if Eddie Vedder would be announced. But where would he play? He's definitely too big to headline the Barn and the main stage headliners are announced. Would he agree to play as a sub?

 

I think it's very likely The Amazons are announced later today or one of the next weeks.

14k is not enough for Vedder. He'd draw a mainstage headliner crowd.

After seing him in 2012 I'd think he's be perfect to headline the Barn. The only problem for me with that is it can't be on the Saturday or Sunday as a clashwith SOAD or FF would kill me.....

[McCallion]

A lot of good additions for Reading and Leeds today . Marmozets, Cabbage would make my festival

[neacaisa]

Well, I thought the headliners of the Barn tend to be a bit earlier than the main stage last acts, usually before or at the same time as the subs . (e.g Beck last year)

What makes you think The Amazons will be playing? 

 

I'd be happy with that.

[e2p2]

Granddaddy and Jagwar Ma ruled out due to Dour announcement. 

[blazingdog]

Would love any of Frank Turner, Biffy, The National, Passenger, Maximo Park, the Killers or Belle & Sebastian to be announced today...hmm looks like I've firmly planted myself in the early 2000s indie camp

Not convinced any of that will actually happen but fingers crossed.

The airplay they get at Studio Brussel, being the radiostation that plays RW-music all the time. And they play at Best Kept Secret, so they're definitely touring in that period. For what I've heard of them, they're a perfect band for a festival like Werchter.

Yeah I've said previously I'd really like them to play. Think they are going to make a very good debut album, and their EP's are good
