It wont be sold out before February/March so you'll have enough time to think about it. Many here tend to buy tickets quick (Im one of them..) and some of them regret it afterwards (Im NOT one of those..). With the exception of one edition in the recent past, tickets go on sale after each day has at least one act confirmed usually a headliner or a different high slot.

McCallion Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I'm pretty sure the first announcement will be next week, but I'm still getting hyped for 4pm just in case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they were booked for Werchter we may be seeing a last minute replacement (Editors? :P). How good a source is that Zegut ?. Thinking there may be some truth in this as Download postponed their announcement when everyone thought Metallica were a definite for DL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He posts some things with a question mark after them meaning it's a rumour I think, and the things posted without a question mark (including this Metallica thing) are definite. @dentalplan is the one who usually brings us his info so he probably knows better than me.

Edit: And yeah with the Download thing it adds up. Yeah he’s usually looped in with French rock festivals and big rock bands doing French gigs, cos he’s a renowned rock radio DJ there. European festival sites put a lot of trust in his words. Definitely been wrong in the past but Metallica canning their tour seems an odd thing to state if it wasn’t true. He’s been rumouring GNR for shows next summer (incl. Download) - I could completely see RW booking them given Live Nation have tour contracts with them so maybe bob them in in place of Metallica? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy if GnR playing either DL or RW but after seeing Metallica on Thursday was excited for another helping next summer. They were utterly amazing in Glasgow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that’s good to know if they do get booked anywhere I’ll be present. First time I saw them (also RW, 2007 or 2008) they were brilliant, but the last time (with those voted setlists) was extremely uninspired. Either way, I’d still prefer GnR, missed out this year and have never seen them. Edited October 28, 2017 by visdave34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a greatest hits set which might sound great but normally turns out to be disappointing. Setlist on this tour has thrown in a few surprises from early stuff. New songs from Hardwired are also fabulous live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought Metallica at RW14 werent good at all, the sound and the commercial parts (sms votes during the show etc) were awful. I prefer it would be someone else.

h1210 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Gorillaz and 30 Seconds To Mars announced for RaR, just posted in another thread. I would have thought both were strong possibilites for Werchter this year, possibly Good Charlotte and Rise Against from that first announcement as well.

Gossard Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Rock am Ring just announced a few names. These names most be quite likely for RW18: Gorillaz A Perfect Circle Kaleo Marilyn Manson (Graspop?) 30 Seconds to Mars Rise Against Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAlex Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) I'd be very surprised if Gorillaz arent there now with this adding to dates in Poland and Spain for Open'er and Bilbao BBK. They'll surely be in Belgium at some point and being around in June/July should make RW more likely than Pukkelpop. Wouldnt mind 30STM or Good Charlotte either, can't say I'm the biggest fan of either but I'd happily watch both if they were on. Seems like most are announcing now, so hopefully we'll get our first one this week! Also weren't kaleo the band that had to drop out and he replaced by Slowdive? If they're about I can see them wanting to make up for that. Edited October 30, 2017 by alexlloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
