Good gap in the schedule for a headline set off Rammstein. 

What gap are you even seeing , only one day in-between two different German locations. Unfortunately won't play with a Belgium show aswell

An article I read didn’t state all the dates. I’ve checked now yeah, very unlikely. Sorry about that. 

I actually have no clue now who will do it...

If they're headline material for RW then I don't know this festival anymore. Black Keys were (IMO) utterly boring in 2014 and I always thought Tame Impala could headline The Barn at the most or be some sort of a dance/late night act.

Can we see Metallica as one of those "must have" bands ? They're selling out so many huge venues, I don't see how Werchter wouldn't want them, but I am not sure they will still be doing festivals when I see the success their solo gigs have...

Hoping for Tame Impala, The National, Royal Blood, Slaves, Idles, Fontaines D.C. ,Parcels, Foals, Vampire Weekend, Calexico, Grace Jones, SONS, The Raconteurs, and Lizzo at a better spot. But no idea who's touring in 2020.

Could go for Coldplay if their around next year.

Courtney Barnett and Low should be higher imo. Also I have my doubts about Slipknot and I expect at least one of those big headliners that can carry a day on its own. But other than that you did a great job, I would actually really like this lineup, refreshing set of headliners, good size subs and great undercard.

It's way too good. I can only be dissappinted in comparison ?

[santowhir]

If it was just half of that I'd be all over it.

Coldplay would like to do a festivaltour. But organisers are afraid they are too big for their festival.

[Nicklord]

Didn't think about that much but it's true. Like The Cure and Inmusic this year

Liam Gallagher should be on the main stage

Would that be a problem for werchter? They've had the "metallica" day or the "pink" day before where the public is obviously there for only one band.

Werchter was one of the few organisers with a solution... Coldplay on another event of them

[Axl's Pants]

Liam G, Green Day, Ghost, Metallica, Depeche Mode are on my wish list though I have just seen Ghost & Metallica in Berlin and it was a great gig even if it threw it down

Just to be clear, this was last year when there were talks with Coldplay, this doesn't include a possible appearance in  2020 right?

One day is really good but it's actually a bit boring for me compared to this year.

I like your sunday lineup but I'm afraid that's too much heavy bands for one day. Would love it tho, while she sleeps, polaris, frank carter, architects, enter shikari, prophets of rage all in succession is madness.

This year's lineup was the least exciting one in years. Too much been there done that headliners (you know, the Muses and Mumfords). The headliners in this prediction (Bon Iver, Kendrick Lamar, Slipknot, The Strokes, Tame Impala, Lorde) would at least be be more refreshing and exciting, albeit a bit small-ish.

Doesn't help if you're only bothered by one though majorly. It wasn't great don't get me wrong but then line-up wise this one in question isn't for me, I did at least have a few that I'd make a lot of effort to see this year for the ticket price.

Amazing line-up, which will - unfortunately - never happen. It misses a big headliner like Metallica or PJ (those are most likely, I think) and Lorde is too small in Belgium to headline I'm afraid (she only sold half of Lotto Arena, which is 8k capacity). 

dEUS & Goose will definitely not play in klubc, at least it will be The Barn, but probably Main Stage. Goose is releasing a new album next year, so they are definitely a contender to take one of the higher Belgian spots next year! The Strokes will only play if they can close down, I suppose. I don't think that RHCP will close down a day at RW, I can see them in a co-headline combination with Tame Impala, in which Tame Impala would close down the Main Stage. 

On a side note: Chances for Slipknot are growing a little bit  now they announced a European tour without Belgian date! 

[thetime]

Hasn't werchter always gone for predictable headliners?
