Not feeling too confident for an announcement today now, anyone heard otherwise for it?

Zero activity on social media. Heard that we are definitely getting names though, still unsure personally. 

30 Seconds to Mars are playing Antwerp on Wednesday. Could be the reason?

Festileaks insider reporting that we'll get smaller packages every day of this week instead of the whole load today. I'm guessing in an hour then...

I've heard the same, which is frustrating after waiting so long.

I'm gonna nail on NERD based solely upon Chokris daughter RT'ing a wish list with them on it. Never listened to them fully so wouldn't be a hit or a miss for me.

They were ace at Pukkelpop '09. Better live than they are on record.

Their Instagram story contains clear hints for 2 artists: The War On Drugs and Dua Lipa. I'll be pissed if that's all we're getting today after such a long wait. Even more because I just want to see some names we hadn't guessed yet.

I too would be pretty disappointed, even more so if it's just those two names which is looking even more likely now :(

And that's the only names.

Fucking hell. Have they reappointed the PR people from 2015 again??

War on drugs and dua lipa just got confirmed. Both for the 16th.

 

Arcade Fire still possible for the 17th? 

More news tomorrow according to their FB feed.

Unless they play the Friday. Slim chance though.

30 Seconds to Mars & Imagine Dragons tomorrow I'm guessing.

 

Indeed, especially because we know ID is 100% going to be there.

Greg was right again. "Don't expect mega headliners like Rock Werchter". I'm happy with TWOD, but a top line of TWOD, Dua Lipa, ID, 30STM and Kendrick is not at all impressive imo.

Studio Brussels described TWOD as a headliner. Dua Lipa didn't get mentioned as headliner.

Surely she’ll just be in the slot XX were in last year, doesn’t make them a headliner IMO due to the short set-time. Won’t be going to see either likely.

Ok, guess we'll have to wait...

I have two questions Dave:

- Why are you predicting Charli XCX? She has a concert booked in the US the 10th of August and one the 31 (but i'll be very happy if she's not ruled out...one of the best pop acts we can get)

- Aren't Vampire Weekend ruled out due to the fact that the End of the Road one will be their "first show in 4 years"?

Predicted Charli XCX due to the gap in touring and she's perfect for Pukkelpop. Been 3 years since she last played there.

VW - I doubt that will be the first gig they'll play. Expect them to be added to a few late summer festivals, Rock En Seine possibly being one of them.

I agree (and hope we are right)...tomorrow Rock en Seine will announce its first names and they will be very showing!

Local newspaper says one name for tomorrow. Come one, that can't be ID... The thursday will already be very hard to sell as it is (especially for a thursday), ID surely can't carry a full day?

One name?? Christ. Looks like we'll get the full line up by Xmas!

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
