How quick will day tickets for radiohead sell out? Instantly or a few weeks, never paid much attention  to day tickets for werchter.

I'm thinking of doing radiohead day at werchter or main square. Even though main square would be easier I don't know much about that fest. 

I'll do it simply : Main Square looks like shit compared to Werchter. It's cheaper but far from being as good as Werchter. Even a "so-so" edition of Werchter is better than any edition Main Square have ever had. The tickets day for Radiohead won't sell out instantly, expect few weeks

I said earlier that maybe SOAD could headline with a strong dans-act like Daft Punk....

Not a chance.

I think you may be underestimating how big DP are. They wouldn't need to co-headline with anyone, and if they were to share with anyone it certainly wouldn't be a band like SOAD.

Edit - that wasn't me who downrated your comment by the way.

   have to agree with dave, they would be an outright headliner for me.

[Dietediet]

But I thought the Daft Punk rumours had died again? Eavis confirmed they're not playing Glasto, the 'Alive 2017' countdown turned out to be a hoax and several people in the music industry already said DP have no touring plans for 2017.

After Download France, Nova Rock and Southside, Linkin Park just aded a new date : June 27th at Volt Festival in Hungary.

I believe less and less that Pearl Jam will be there so, Linkin Park might be the 4th headliner with Radiohead, SOAD and Green Day.

Linkin Park, really?

Pearl Jam faith shouldn't be lost so soon, at all actually. I'm getting my hopes up with every day that goes by.

The thing is that there is no sign at all for a PJ tour. I'd love to have them again but, I don't really believe they'll be there. They should have tour in 2016 but didn't and, if I understood this well, they don't want to go to France of Belgium because of the previous attacks (which is completely stupid btw).

LP didn't sell out in 2011 but they came only twice in Belgium during their all career and still are quite popular so, I think it wouldn't be a bad choice.

I still think Linkin Park will play Graspop. With SOAD out of the picture and GnR heavily rumoured for Werchter Boutique, Aerosmith and Avenged Sevenfold are the only real headliner options left for Graspop. And considering their days all but sold out on the previous times those 2 headlined GMM, it's obvious the festival could still use a major act.

Oh right, I forgot about the missing Graspop headliner.

Who could be the last RW headliner ? RHCP are in Poland at the end of July. May be a repeat ?

Have they ever simply repeated a headliner two years in a row. Be surprised if that was the case

I have a vague memory that they did that once with Editors. But I could be wrong..

Last few times PJ were touring Europe, dates were announced in december. If it is not them, your missing headliner probably will be Kings Of Leon

I don't want to even think about this nightmare.

Flo wasn't a headliner in 15 . It was repeat headliners I was getting at

[Dietediet]

Kings of Leon (2013 and 2014), Editors (2012 and 2013), Muse (2006 and 2007), ... 

So yes, they're not afraid to do repeat headliners. But usually they have a 'grounded reason' for rebooking a headliner, i.e. a new album release in between two editions (Editors/KoL) or the previous show being such a smash hit that the crowd are beggin for a return in their wishlists (Muse). RHCP can't say either of those so...

Also KoL are a certainty in my book, but as a coheadliner at best, which they were in their 2 previous appearances as well. And I think coheadliner structures are the thing we should think at for the remaining headliner options: combinations of bands like SOAD, KoL, Arcade Fire, The National, QOTSA, The XX, ...

[eratiti007]

The National and QOTSA are high on my wishlist as well.

I think Nine Inch Nails was supposed to tour last year. Any news ?

[Dietediet]

NIN would be my dream Barn headliner (if he's willing to take that spot). Trent Reznor promised a new album for 2016 at the start of the year and recently said recordings are in an advanced stage. So I'd say bring it on.

I agree, I thought they were great in 2009. But please let them clash with the XX or National, something that I have no interest in

NIN headlining Barn might be the only reason to wish KOL headlining Main Stage. 

[Red Day]

Are Depeche Mode completely out of the running ?  There's a few days off in the tour that could fit a RW appearance in ?
