Rock Werchter 2017

[ThijsDB]

I don't think we'll get any announcements until mid January. Their facebook banner got changed into a general one (usually it's a picture of a band until the next announcement), they tweeted a poster of the current line-up, last week we didn't get an announcement, their charity action in Belgium just ended, last year they also took a break mid December,... all these things make it look this is it until 2017.

Yo for people who have bought tickets do you get charged extra as they're in euros? If yes should I use credit or debit?

[Red Day]

Depends on where you're at.  If you're in UK then most cards will charge you a covertion fee, somethimes around £12.  If you're paying from a card that is set in euros then you'll probably just pay what the overall cost of ticket and booking fee is

Alice in Chains touring in s-america in the spring. I'd love to see them at RW. I've seen them a few times over the last few years and even if it's not the same band without Layne, they're still pretty decent....

I agree. I saw them at Werchter a couple of years ago and they were awesome.

Same with me, 2010 was brilliant !

Do you reckon they'll continue with announcements on the second friday of January (being the 13th) just like last year?

Also, what's up with this clashfinder?

It's a prediction

Wolfmother are also playing in Holland two weeks after Rock Werchter. I'd love to see them again, amazing band http://www.zwartecross.nl/programma/nl/80/66/muziekprogramma.html

Never seen them, but I can imagine they would be a lot of fun!

I love Wolfmother but I also live Mike Patton (Faith No More), and each time I hear Wolfmother, I think to this :') 

 

[Gossard]

I love Mike Patton and Faith no More (best band at both Graspop and Rock Werchter in 2015 imo) but I have to disagree with him on this one....  

[Tremousse]

So Coachella's line up has just been released... I notice that rumours about The War On Drugs were fake ! But good news are that Future Islands are back !! We need them at Rock Werchter ! From the line-up I'd also take Father John Misty, Capital Cities, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, The Lemon Twigs, The Head and the Heart, Bon Iver, Bastille, Devendra Banhart, Car Seat Headrest and of course, most of all,  Kaleo !

[Tremousse]

By the way, it's pretty cool to see that Rock Werchter with its first 10 names is much better than Coachella's full line up

You a Kaleo fan? That's awesome, they are nice guys and great musicians

I love their album, I see them in Paris in 3 weeks ! If you like Kaleo, you should give a listen to Dorothy, a kind of female Kaleo (without folk tracks) (I'm going to send you a PM)!

[Gossard]

Kaleo is just an Icelandic band and I've met them a few times. Seen them play many times, in very small and quite big venues   They were playing at a party at my work 3 or 4 years ago

What are the chances of Bonobo, Nicolas Jaar, Moderat showing up?

All of them are possible, no percentage. Wait and see !

I know one girl in my group that would love that....why do you think Weeknd will be announced next?

[Luke Routledge]

If it is the Weeknd where do you think he will play? Assuming it would be before Radiohead or Foos. Still holding out for the Killers!

He's headlining every other festival he's been announced for so far, including Nos Alive, Benicassim and Open'er.
