If bands like tool, system of a down, metallica and rammstein are very well received why wouldn't slipknot? I wouldn't mind slipknot headlining That's well said I'd say it's just bit more "aggressive" than the bands you mention, but for sure I wouldn't mind them on RW. I'm sure they can pull it off.

Death By Sexy Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Slipknot has skipped Belgium in the last 2 or 3 arena tours in Europe. I think they won't visit Belgium at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken19 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Two times in a row for Slipknot. Time will tell ... it already happened before. my guess for Graspop: Slipknot, Volbeat and Tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... when such band is touring in that period, and you know that Graspop has problems to find decent headliners... exception was system of a down, but Graspop turned that down (not because they didn’t want to have them, but because they already had their 3 headliners: Ozzy, Kiss, avenged sevenfold). But when soad was booked for Werchter, Kiss and avenged canceled their performances. Herman S pushed Rammstein to do an extra festivaltour, Graspop saved :-)... what a succes Soad on RW... everybody in the organisation was so positive about it.

EV123 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think that if Pearl Jam have a new album that they could be a contender to play at another Werchter event or maybe Boudewijnstadium. It's already a long time ago that they played a show in Belgium apart from Rock Werchter! Foo Fighters with a new album could also play another Werchter event I think (Classic).

My prediction is that they will tour Australia/NZ/USA Exciting news! Tip to save money definitely makes it sound like they might be playing further afield so you might be right with your tour predictions there. Fingers crossed for something in Europe regardless!

BlackFoxx Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Where would Pixies and Modest Mouse be likely to play on the lineup? Pixies already have announced new music and Modest Mouse have released a couple of new songs and seem active with their US tour with the Black Keys. Wishlist lineup would probably look something like this... The Strokes/Foals/Vampire Weekend Bon Iver/Tame Impala/Modest Mouse Pearl Jam/The National/Pixies The Black Keys/Royal Blood/The Raconteurs Not that diverse so quite unrealistic and unsure of how some band's placements might translate over to Belgian festivals, but next year looks like it could have a really promising lineup!

To answer your question about Pixies and Modest Mouse. I don't think that Modest Mouse is big enough to sub and I think that Pixies is more likely to headline the Barn or another festival in Belgium. Dream line-up. Only misses a female act for me like Lorde or Lana! Placings are also not that realistic I'm afraid. TBK is not big enough to close down the Main Stage, while Tame Impala should close down the Main Stage with their light show (I just hope that the small crowd at PKP doesn't affect their headline show)! Very curious about Bon Iver's new arena show, which kicks off next Saturday! It's made for the bigger stages, so I hope that RW's Main Stage will be one of them ? If this list (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfyWyQzgxfYnqSzoIZqLlWK9tTmlrfyMtx1vF9CxhP1XisrxA/viewform) from Benicassim shows touring acts for next year I'm quite sure that Sam Smith and/or Imagine Dragons will somehow be on the line-up next year as pop-oriented acts.

BlackFoxx Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Once again a few placements are probably off but what do people make of the following lineup?

For Pearl Jam, I think it's too early for them to come back, but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss89 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Well... they played in 2007 - 2010 - 2012 - 2014 - 2018 ... so only 2 years for Pearl Jam wouldn't be that weird! And they change up their setlist quite a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
