They decided to bring Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish so it was the last straw not to go and decide to go outside my parents so I chose RW. I wish you would help, is sleeping at the festival in the rental tents a good idea? I recommend The Hive Resort too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we have a deal. Yorke pls. But I do hope for more interesting headliners/main stage acts next year. This year was really lacking.

laurelaa Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Last year Werchter had a Wish and Win mid september to see the people's wishlist. Isn't something like this supposed to happen this year or will it be coming later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightside23 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 A current and perhaps overly optimistic prediction/wishlist: The Offspring - Foals - Dua Lipa - Coldplay Deftones - Twenty One Pilots - The Strokes - Tool Korn - Post Malone - Tame Impala Royal Blood - System of a Down - Pearl Jam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlos12345 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Tool won‘t play two years in a row. But would be interesting to see if those Pearl Jam rumors about Imola are true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And The other (being Tool) are probably not doing European festivals. Don't think Offspring and Korn will ever play RW again to be honest.

Did anything happen last time Offspring and Korn played? Tool is entirely a personal wish as I missed them this year.

Nope, just don't think Korn fit RW anymore. Not the genre they book apart from huge bands such as System Of A Down. And they have a very good connection with Graspop so they'll always go to Graspop isntead of RW. The Offspring has been playing a Belgian festival for more than 6 years in a row (and I expect them to do a 7th this year, probably Graspop)... So everybody has seen them by now, they barely play their new stuff, so they tend to go to smaller festivals (such as Lokerse Feesten, Rock Zottegem or dour) these days.

Ken19 Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) On Festileaks, somebody claims that Live Nation (rock werchter) have put Metallica on Graspop as a gift. False information. Just like the information that Metallica’s extra demands cancelled their deals in the past. One time, 2004, Herman wanted to put Metallica on Graspop. They had them the year before. The band refused. Their is one festival in Belgium for them, their favourite: Rock Werchter. Don’t forget that they can play for a bigger crowd in Werchter, the capacity of the field before the main stage is smaller in Graspop. That is an important ego thing for a band. Normally no Metallica summer 2020. But that was the plan Some time ago. The rehab has nothing to do with it. The voice of James is the problem.

TJGthree Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Thinking of trying RW for the first time. Looks great, would definitely try for one of those Hive resort packages. When do tickets usually go on sale? Is this a Glasto type situation where you need to buy them immediately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EV123 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Very beautiful new names for Roskilde today. Hoping for both Whitney and Thom Yorke (would be a superb barnheadliner). Mura Masa will most likely also appear somewehere on the line-up. Let's just hope it's not too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the first announced names usually. Sometime this month, maybe even this week. It doesn't sell out in months, not sure about The Hive packages tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lighthouse Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 So with Thom Yorke we have a first big shoe-in for Rock Werchter? Him closing a Barn would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visdave34 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 https://www.dailystar.co.uk/music/coldplay-set-sensational-comeback-brand-20532975 I wonder if there will be festival shows when they decide to tour again.

polnico Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Just heard the new Caribou single, really hoping that he gets a nice late spot in the Barn or Klub C, to end the night on a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasto seems like a shoe-in. He told NME: “They haven’t written a Kid A yet ( Radiohead ’s so-called experimental LP) where their entire fanbase goes, ‘What the f ** k is this?’” Oh I like the idea of a more lo-fi coldplay album.
