@nmarquesantos: tipi's on the right are sold out, tents (463€/4persons) are on the left side of the picture. Humidity....won't be bothered with that if you've had the right amount of beers! 

I think these are the pre-pitched tents.

I hope they put The Chainsmokers as Klub C headliner but I fear they will close the mainstage. Their 2000 capacity club show sold out in like 5 minutes so they are incredibly popular. This is awful...

Usually I like the electronic acts Werchter books because most of them have some live aspect (Disclosure, Netsky, Bonobo, Jamie XX) but this is just horrible...

@nmarquesantos: 2 persons tents on the front of this picture, army-tents at the back (10 persons I think). The 4 persons tents were visible on the first picture (the one with tipi's on, that alan-_ts posted earlier).

I gave them a listen and it's certainly not something I'd go and see.  Lowest form of pop

My bad

[nmarquesantos]

Thanks for the help guys

At least I've got one more option now.. I'll see if my friends are up for camping.

I've looked and it seems we can catch a night bus to Tervuren and from there catch a taxi/uber to brussels..

As for the car/ride share, what's the best website to check for the festival?

having talked about this earlier: when do the combi tickets usually sell out? already in February or later?...

[Red Day]

Get RW alerts on twitter and they'll tell ypu when it's close to selling out

Wherever Chainsmokers are playing, I'll be somewhere else.

+1 ....Maybe we'll see each other at one of the beer stalls  

[SilverLining]

Is there an electronic act headlining in some capacity (at least one of the stages) every day? 

Also does the main stage run later than the other stages?

I really hope so if Chainsmokers are looking to be closing the main after AF.

Best thing to is look at the timings on a clashfinder from previous years of werchter.

Still hoping for the killers. 

Any hopes for 'the last shadow puppets'?  They have a new album and they are touring Europe. Would love to see Alex Turner.

You sure? Think they might be done for a while now. Turner is back recording with AM I think.

Such a shame we all go to festivals yet people's opinions are so narrow minded unless it's rock it's shit by a lot of people's standards ... need to appreciate the fact there are gems in every genre ..

There are, but it's not this one... ;-)

Just an opinion of course, such as everyone else's...

My guess is they'll be closing KlubC by the way.

Does it really bother you that we don't like this band? REALLY?   Pearl Jam is my favourite band, if you don't like them I really couldn't care less
