Rock Werchter 2017

[McCallion]

I'm assuming The Tallest Man On Earth isn't up to much in 2017 either. He was my find of 2015's fest!

[foolee]

Pendulum (live), Alter Bridge, Good Charlotte, Mastodon, Knife Party, Gojira, La Pegatina, shame all announced for Nova Rock.

[Luke Routledge]

Pendulum Alter Bridge and Good Charlotte would go down well with me! 

[Red Day]

Do Nova Rock share acts with RW. Alter Bridge would be great addition

The already share 3 of the headliners I think (Linkin Park, SOAD and Blink). Pendulum, Good Charlotte and Alter Bridge would make me a very happy (and very nostalgic) person!

Not a fan of GC but other two would make me happy

[kris0624]

Biffy Clyro, Good Charlotte, The Killers, Pendulum, Fatboy Slim, The Hives, Jimmy Eat World, MØ, Tegen and Sara, SWMRS and A Day To Remember is my wishlist atm.

 

Sigur Ros too but I think they're ruled out? Or am I imagining.

[neacaisa]

sigur ros announced a north american tour

[kris0624]

That's the one. I knew they'd announced something which kept them out.

[Luke Routledge]

Would think this is the last announcement of the year so hoping for a few bands. 

[visdave34]

Sigur Ros' North American tour runs till mid-June, so not completely ruled out yet. Wishful thinking on my part though...

Don't think there'll be an announcement today, I expect Graspop Metal Meeting to get full attention. So prabably we'll have to wait till 2017 for new announcements.

Isin't Graspop announceing today so no RW announcement?

[Red Day]

Didn't they announce yesterday 

[Gossard]

And today  

[Gossard]

No Prophets of Rage and no Bad Religion. Now I'm down on my knees praying to Lemmy (the true rock'n'roll god ) that they'll be at Rock Werchter  

[nickybu]

Can we rule out an announcement today?

It's fair to say that two of the euro fests that come under my worst options to look at for the year...generally not just this year are GMM and Hell Fest. Nova Rock is bang on this year, I'd still like a Green Day alternative.

The Prodigy? Again? They can have a better closer on Thursday than that come on.. 

Childish Gambino is gonna be v busy w shooting that Star Wars movie so I don't think he's gonna do a lot of fests but who knows. TOP doesn't have any dates in Europe yet so idk if they will continue to tour.. 

Die Antwoord would be a bit of a fast return eh + they're at Dour (so ruled out)

Lana Del Rey would more likely play at PKP bc she has dates around that time already

Is Royal Republic busy w new stuff? 

better closer than prodigy? Like who? I keep seeing people mention Major Lazer, who wouldn't be fit to lace Liam's 10 year old shoe! Best live band on planet earth!

Either way I doubt they are returning again so soon. Took them 6 years last time.

Hellfest, except headliners, is fucking amazing

Defo except headliners! They got Rancid, but it's not a festival for me.
