Rock Werchter 2017

On a different note; How different is the hive compared to the normal campsite? When i buy tickets next week im very curious on whether the hive is worth going for.

You can find an answer to that question on almost every page on this forum

I think it's the same font size as the rest of the acts placed under the headliners... but I may be wrong... 

Sorry about what I said here, I tought you were talking about alt-j, not bazart. I guess you're right... maybe barn sub or afternoon main

Any chance of Kaleo do we think? 

[TheHiddenPassenger]

Very happy with White Lies, their new album was one of my favourites of 2016 after a couple of dull albums so I'm glad to see they're back to their best and now at RW.

Any chance of Twin Atlantic? 

[SilverLining]

Anyone that hasn't heard of Bonobo i suggest you give the latest album a listen, its a peach.

Definitely ! I was at their show last night in Paris and met the guitarist, but we didn't speak about Rock Werchter. The show was amazing, both folk and rock songs, but I prefered the rock songs, the crowd went wild on it. I'd say Kaleo are the proof that rock'n'roll is better than folk

[tyranicide]

As Bonobo is Saturday I'm guessing he'll be on the barn when system of a down are playing?

If that happens I will cry inside  Is that very likely?

In the early evening in the Klub C probably. Barn is most of the time having alternative/indie bands and even if there's a dance act, it's most of the time one closing it and Bonobo's popularity isn't that big that he'd close the Barn. I'm seeing Moderat as very likely to close the Barn on Saturday or Thursday (with Oscar & The Wolf and Alt-J on the other days, I guess..)

[tyranicide]

That's a relief, think I greatly overestimated his popularity just based on how often I've seen him mentioned across the forums

Sounds good, I feel bad now for not giving him a chance until now.

And you made me craving peaches...

Cough cough name drop!!!

I'm not asking any stupid questions here about the hive /festival which can be found on the website but I am right in saying that once you're in a hive campsite you can only access your own campsite and the central area a bit right ??? If yes how many people roughly can each hive campsite hold? ?

Once you choose a camp site, you can't change anymore and can only access that campsite. If you chose The Hive campsite (probably because you still can't buy regular camping), you can access the whole Hive Camping since there is only one haha. The Hive is really massive, I think it can hold at least 20k people and maybe even more. People who stay in The Hive Resort can also access the main Hive Camping

[Red Day]

Tipi's look like they have sold out

Cheers pal .. 

[BiscuitBandit]

Anyone know when the general camping tickets will be released, price, and the difference to the hive ones?

Also how much food/drink do the coupons get you and roughly how many do you need per day?

[e2p2]

1 coupon is 1 regular drink (coke,  water,  beer etc.). 3 coupons for Bacardi cocktail if I remember correctly. 2-5 coupons for food.  If you wish,  you can  collect empty cups you can return it to the recycling stand for a drink-only coupon (1 coupon for 20 cups). How many do you need depands on yoir habits

Black Keys meets Bon Iver. Never listened to them until this week after they were recommended to me. 

Sold on them straight away.

Could Chainsmokers be the missing dance/party act or are they not big enough in Belgium?

Hopefully they play at TML

[SilverLining]

I kind of hope the Chainsmokers do get announced if they are looking likely, the reason being that I would definitely not be going to see them and it would free up what could be a potentially devastating clash for me if they keep announcing names of this calibre and the Chainsmokers play a late slot.

Cant see it though as if RW is for an 'older' crowd they are for wee kids
