alan_ts Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Yelo, the Parmiggiana said: I think that Bologna will be less expensive (the ticket surely is 40 € against 80 £, it has an international airport as well and the city and accomodations are cheaper), and the band will be less exhausted from 2 days in a row performing. Plus, the venue should be bigger. You lose in terms of organization tho, since italian shows are usually messier than England's. But here, another chance. But Bologna has great restaurants and food markets Edited January 28, 2020 by alan_ts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EV123 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Royal Blood in Europe next year. The question is not if they will play, but rather when they will play. Before PJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is not if they will play, but rather when they will play. Before PJ? yeah, they stated last time that this is their favourite festival, no way they are not playing. i also think vampire weekend must be a certainty, having skipped last year and having dates the week after (benicassim and paris). imo they won't be at pukkelpop (might not return in europe for the second part of the summer, doesn't seem like it makes much sense to do so) i think tyler is not a match generally for the festival (being pretty expensive and having kendrick already as the big rap act of the festival) and the dates don't match that well with him being at opener and roskilde. fka twigs also doesn't seem a match, but if the insiders say she would be there, then maybe it is happening. regarding other female artists, i definitely expect haim, tones and i (don't think there is any way they will miss her, but i thought the same about portugal the man 2 years ago so who knows) or angel olsen (after her concert in antwerp will take place) Edited January 28, 2020 by neacaisa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Ferreira Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) it is the first time that I go to the RW and bought the collector's ticket and like I still haven't received anything at home, only in the email but it is not a ticket, now I don't know if it is close to the Festival and since I live in Portugal I am like this with a little bit of fear.

At the ticket master site it is stated you will receive your ticket 3 working days before the event starts or sooner. But I would check with ticket master to be sure you will receive it in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some friends offered me the collector ticket last year, and I received it like 2-3 weeks before so I would worry too much. But yeah, asking won't do you any wrong I guess.

Fontaines and Squid unlikely, since both do Primavera. Het zesde metaal very unlikely as no one will understand a word of what they're singing. Don't think there has ever been Belgian bands - singing in their native language - at big international festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heti Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) In terms of female artists...Dido has a perfectly fitting Werchter gap in her schedule. Would love to have her in The Barn during Kendrick if FNM are not Barn headliners. Edited January 29, 2020 by heti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Het zesde metaal very unlikely as no one will understand a word of what they're singing. Don't think there has ever been Belgian bands - singing in their native language - at big international festivals. Why should Primavera matter? Fontaines is also playing Best Kept Secret a few weeks before Werchter, Squid is in France the week before. Also, Zwangere Guy, Stikstof, Bazart, Tourist LeMC, Angèle, Roméo Elvis are all examples of acts that played recently and sing in a local language, shouldn't be a problem really. Edit: nevermind if you're just confusing the topics. Edited January 29, 2020 by ThijsDB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, @Marty76? aah okay that would make sense! i was just checking to see if there was something i’m missing as i dont know much of the correlation between other festivals and Werchter edit: it would be amazing seeing Fontaines D.C. and squid (and The Murder Capital) this summer at Werchter as my best friend and i are massive fans!
