Rock Werchter 2017

[Dietediet]

I figure we can rule out The Lumineers. Supporting U2 in New Jersey on 28 June, playing Bravalla (Finland) on the 29th and Roskilde on the 1st of July. Then going to Switzerland on 3 July. That's already a murderous touring schedule without RW in the mix.

Wow they are heroes ! I hope they'll come !

The Killers announced for Tinderbox in Denmark the weekend before RW. I'd like to have them, they were quite good in 2009....

Liam Gallagher for Les Ardentes, so no RW...

I would be happy if they join the lineup too.

When another festival in Belgium announce an international act before RW does,  it means that this act won't play in RW.

Friday

Radiohead, Kasabian, The National, Phoenix, Royal Blood, Flogging Molly, Anderson Paak & the Free Radicals

I would buy tickets quicker than I can say "This is way too good to be true"... How can a single festival afford to have such fantastic bands, when places like Reading and Leeds cost about the same but only have a small percentage of great acts like these?

[tyranicide]

A Day To Remember have been added to Hellfest so could potentially play Werchter 

[Apocalyptica]

I already bought tickets. I'm coming all the way from India. Is anyone from Belgium here?

Tell me what to do there and where to stay and what to see and stuff like that. Help out please.  

[Apocalyptica]

Anyone Intrested to make a whatsapp group. Discuss there about rock werchter 2017? Anyone in? 

[Apocalyptica]

So a whatsapp group can join music lovers. 

We can discuss music 

Share playlists 

Spotify and apple music 

Discuss festivals

Oh dont get on your moral high horse and take it out of context ... why don't you start a whatsapp group about it if you bruise that easily !!!

Rock werchter won best major festival at european festival awards. Good change after all the eastern european festivals winning in the last years(I have nothing against opener and and exit, but untold winning last year's award on its debut was too much). The procedure was changed and the jury counted as 3/4 of the ranking points and the votes counted for 1/4 (last year it was the other way around)

I have no interest in this whatsapp group, I don't even know what it is. But please don't use the word gay as it's something bad, it's insulting. If not liking it when people downgrade certain group of our society and asking them to stop it is being on a "moral high horse" then so be it.......

I really wouldn't take much notice of awards a festivals

Any idea when general camping goes on sale?

Waiting until I can actually afford a ticket but hoping to buy both together... (if it doesn't sell out before then)

When do we reckon we'll see some more acts announced? If i'm correct the first load of announcements came out weekly on Thursdays, anybody think we could hear anything today?

it's you claiming the wrong context. The use of the word in that way is a homophobic slur.

Do it again, you're out of here.

Apologies I didn't realise everyone was so easily offended, it won't happen again.
