Rock Werchter 2019

[Nicklord]

Looking at the site, pretty much everything is for Klub C or The Slope. Only Balthazar, Parkway Drive and De Staat are on the main stage

Yeah was just going to come to say this, the silver lining is confirmation the slope is back! Hope to see some more smaller bands closer to my tastes added though.

27 acts I've never heard of. My age is showing....

[neacaisa]

klub c had a pretty solid line up in the past years. also, even the slope had some established acts last year, including wolf alice for example.

Parkway drive is a very nice surprise for me, also out last night is a cool addition. Hope they Book parkway drive somewhere very late in one of the tents.

They perform on the main stage. Probably in the afternoon.

Nah I'm 19 and I've heard of about four of them. Hugely disappointing, especially after such a long wait and a 20 name announcement.

[Aech]

Surely Balthazar won't be in the top three main on Sunday?

[Jazebel]

Most likely (and very deservedly) they will. Probably not Muse's sub though.

[Nicklord]

Thursday 4 acts

Friday 9

Saturday 5

Sunday 5 

Acts hat I would watch. Way less than last few years but still more than other European fests. Sucky year I guess

Why not? They sell far more tickets than Kasabian in Belgium and Kasabian have been in the top 2 in 2015.

They sell out forest national, they play an exclusive belgian festival show on werchter, I think so too

[ThijsDB]

Don't worry guys, these are all smaller/filler acts (I still think there are some great additions), still lots of big/mainstage spots to fill.

[Chaarlie]

Filled in the poster I made before with stages and days from the site, tell me where I'm wrong

our last night is playing on friday instead of thursday

[santowhir]

Yes it does feel like an age thing, time to pass the baton.

Last year was a bit of a freak as most of the bands were from 2008.

Firstly has Neil binned the line-up page for this?, secondly I count 8 acts on the line-up I'd make an effort to see.

That's seven more then me....

[Nicklord]

Listened to the stuff I don't know like Lewis Capaldi, RY X, Tamino... and it's all the same. Veeeeeeery slow melancholy music with those The National like drums and boring guitars. 

 

I didn't find All Them Witches tho, they're great psychedelic/stonerish rock. Don't know how I missed them before

Yes, if I had a ticket I'd be very disappointed with that announcement today.

[Senan-]

Aside from Thom Yorke and Interpol, who are the most likely remaining acts?

Majorly holding out hope for Vampire Weekend or Tame Impala (or both).
