They have a very long and big USA tour that started this month and will end in April. I don't think they will do a European festival tours after that but with Glastonbury coming back this year, everything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heti Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 I'd rather guess the early start of the ticket sales is a lesson learned after Mad Cool drove some of the RW crowd and sold out way in advance. So now the Belgians are trying to get back on track when it comes to selling out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Day Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 11 hours ago, birchtree29 said: I think that they brought the sale date earlier this year since they wanted to have their general sale closer to Glastonbury's. Rock Werchter is on the same weekend with Glastonbury. Glastonbury just had its general sale this weekend and it got sold out in 37 minutes. They will probably share a headliner as well. Good point that. They could have done a short advertising campaign this week to point out it's same weekend and suggest themselves as a viable alternative. My first visit to RW was after failing to get Glastonbury tickets. Ended up going 3 years in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAlex Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 17 hours ago, thetime said: There’s usually 3 out of the 4 headliners at least before tickets go on sale if I remember correctly. So I expect at least another headliner this week and next week before tickets go on sale end of October. Ahh fair enough, I couldn’t find the 2018 site to clarify but we waited until a few headliners were out anyway last year so maybe didn’t notice. Sad to not be making it three in a row after I was lucky in the Glastonbury sale, will definitely be returning at some point though. Hope you guys get a good line up!

It was also the reason I started going, my daughter's birthday pretty much always fell on glastonbury weekend (although not next year). So That is how I started doing werchter, not been back to glastonbury since 2008 and can't see me returning there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Reading that year instead. Doubt I’ll ever get lucky in the sale again. People seem to have it on a bucket list these days. I’m doing NOS again next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know, you were one of the guys here that made me intrigued by Glastonbury 3 years ago. It's my priority since then. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been varied depending on what you're after. We had tipis in 16 and 17. I'd book what you want as quickly as possible. Hive resort is brilliant although hive camping is the best general camping I've been in at a festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBeeis Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've secured Glasto Tix so I won't be making RW for the third year in a row. It actually makes me quite sad I hope you guys get a good load of announcements, I'm already jealous that I may miss out on The Cure. I've had lots of fun in the previous RW threads, so I might come in to say hi every now and then (and get jealous of announcements) Good luck lads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
