neontiger8 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) + Local Natives at Heineken Stage on July 7th Decent but nothing really special. Could Franz Ferdinand be announced as Foo Fighters subheadliner?

NomadicMan Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'd like something a bit rockier to be announced. The number of indie bands on the bill is huge now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the moment, we've got only Foo Fighters, Royal Blood and maybe some Cage The Elephant as loud rock'n'roll. (I don't put The Kills and Savages in this category, I mean they don't make the crowd go wild) Indie : The XX, Alt-J, Phoenix, Blossoms, Glass Animals, Rhye, Warpaint, Wild Beasts, Local Native, Peaches, Spoon (and last Kodaline stuff too) Folk and not loud rock : Ryan Adams, Kodaline, The Kills, Fleet Foxes, Savages Loud rock : Royal Blood, Foo Fighters, Cage The Elephant Electro : Parov Stelar, Depeche Mode Other : The Weeknd, Imagine Dragons (Some bands could appear in several categories of course, anyway) Great line-up but clearly not balanced !

neontiger8 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I can't agree on all the categories. However I do agree that some heavier bands would be welcome. Anyway, the balancing of acts doesn't really bother me. I'm especially missing the main stage-acts on the 7th and 8th. I'm really curious what they will come up with and if there's a surprising act in store for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever been to a Savages gig? It gets pretty insane...to call them 'not so loud rock' is quite ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadicMan Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Never been to a gig but looking forward to them. Hadn't heard much before they got announced so invested in the album and I love it...still I want fewer shoe gazers announced from here on in!!

Max1970 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Does anybody know at what time Depeche Mode will start? I couldn't find it anywhere officialy but I red they could start at midnight...is it possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcuse Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Meh, I honestly like the variety that there's going on this year.. Feel like the indie genre was even more present last year if you look at the line up.. Im expecting/hoping for some strong rock and electro announcements soon..

They could have changed their mind, but there might be a late act coming after them. A bit like M83 after Arcade Fire last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lookingforward to it but I don't feel the lineup is as strong as last year at the moment. Don't get me wrong, loads of good stuff on there but nothing has got me massively excited yet. Down to personal taste of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcuse Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hm, depends on if Depeche Mode is going to play a full set from 2/3h long or not. Pixies got 1h45, Radiohead 2h and Arcade Fire got 1h45. Im thinking The XX are gonna get 1,5hish with The Weeknd also having 1,5h ish, Foo's full set of 2,5-3h and DM 2h.. A dance act behind DM sounds nice but idk if that's gonna happen.. You still have the tent for dance acts aswell so idek Could Soulwax make a return? They're doing festivals again with a new record, Kodaline is a repeater so idk if they could aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets pretty insane...to call them 'not so loud rock' is quite ridiculous. I was too lazy to create a post punk category (or whatever we can call it, they have a particular sound). But yes it's loud, but I should have hadd "n'roll" to be more correct. Very different of Foo Fighters for exemple. I saw them last year at Rock Werchter yes, but they didn't make the crowd go wild. They played after a wonderful rock'n'roll band called The Struts (not on the same stage), maybe it has a role in it. (Courtney Barnett was also after The Struts, same for her) . RW was also my 4th festival in a row, and the two first fests of last years were Download and Hellfest... So I've seen many rock bands which move more the crowd in the 3 previous weekends... As JusticeforDave says, we need some big riffs ! (Airbourne would be perfect ! And their calendar allows it !) Anyway, I'll probably go to give em a second chance at NOS Don't pay attention to categories, I just did it to show how many indie bands are on the line-up compared to other kinds of music, but it's obviously arguable and details need to be added and I didn't want to put a name in several categories or it would be totally confusing, and we don't care ahah ! I hope for Depeche Mode to start late in the evening so that we could have another great act in the evening. I wish Glen Hansard could come after his tour with Eddie Vedder, he's insane.

Maybe festivals where they are less known are quieter. Hope you'll enjoy them this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
