All other days have seven and Fridays just got the five, all of which I'd like to see. Hopefully the full poster is out in March because I'm thinking this will be the one I end up doing now... Michael Kiwanuka in The Barn on the final day is a match made in heaven. That whole Barn lineup in sunday is a match made in heaven! We still expect another name next to Strokes on friday, plus a Barn headliner that day. Archive is never going to close that huge Barn, are they.

kingtulip Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 @Ken19 Any chance we get some artists that appeal more to the younger audience? Clairo, Playboy Carti were announced at openér festival, last year we got brockhampton, suicideboys, denzel curry, (yungblud playing this year doe) city morgue and jpegmafia are playing eu festivals too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Friday is already stacked for me so that's good news but I can't think of any realistic Barn headliner I'd miss The Strokes for anyway, hopefully we find out soon enough otherwise my imagination will get the better of me for who's getting added next to Strokes!

You probably wouldn't have to miss a Barn headliner if The Strokes played last (which they would next to a band like Royal Blood) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to wonder whether RB could be the Barn headliner but they just fit too well next to The Strokes. Alt-J barn headline maybe?

Normally the Barn head doesn’t clash with the last main stage act 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakyfox Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I really hope for a big rock name alongside The Strokes, the lineup is overall pretty good but lacks in the big names. I'm really wondering what are the options right now? If we'll get two mid-sized acts, such as Royal Blood + Alt J/Foals/The National it'll be fine I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCF Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I'm still hoping for The National as a sub (or even Barn headliner as they did at PKP in the Marquee). There's still a gap between their last EU date (21 June) and their first US date (15 July), but I assume the Eaux Claires festival is planned somewhere in there? It is planned but no date has been confirmed yet. Edited February 28, 2020 by VCF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we still lacking a Slope head too on friday? It seems that on every other day the slope head is in a bigger font than other slope acts. However, this poster once again reminds of the strength of the Slope compared to other years. Strange to see girl in red and Phoebe Bridgers as one of the smallest names of the festival!

brightside23 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 While She Sleeps headlining the Slope on Friday would basically fix that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Belgium survives until the Euro quarter finals, they're most likely playing that night (assuming they win group stage). So my guess would be a Belgian act headlining the Slope, so they could easily switch around/cancel in case a football game needs airing.

Ken19 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 King Gizzard is not in Europe during RW. Black Midi also not available during their weekend. It will happen one of the next years for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Belgium game needs airing, won’t it be at the north west walls again? Much bigger space for all the people to stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaxey Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) I know I can be annoying because I repeat too much myself but, will be a dream having catfish and the bottlemen.

Gossard Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 @Ken19 With the AB show sold out right away, you think we still have a chance of getting Gojira at RW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hullabaloo92 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 @Ken19 could Woodkid still be an option to close the Barn on Friday? He is in Luxemburg and Vienna during Werchter period and plays Melt! Festival in Germany a few days afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polnico Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Any chance for Dave ? Just was he was announced for the 4th on Roskilde. He'd be absolutely perfect in a tent the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken19 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Not that many spots left, many options still available. And you know, within these 15/17 acts there will be some names we would never expect (Marc Rebillet for example the last time). So max 10 obvious names I guess... And if you list them up, you'll see that we will lose some to Pukkelpop or another festival. Edited February 29, 2020 by Ken19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
