New Killer's album is great, would be nice to have them at Werchter 2021. I've seen some rumours here on the forum in the past that they are a possibility, any news on this ?

I thought it started well but then drifted off very quick for me. Maybe just not my cup of tea. They've not released anything for me to majorly take note since Day & Age which had a couple on but Sam's Town is the last record they made that I'd actually bother playing.

I've not listened yet, but the Killers would always be a welcome addition. More than likely half their set will be the first two albums and then more than likely the singles from the other albums.

Will Rock werchter announce any new names now that Reading and Leeds announced? Or doesn't that effect Rock Werchters announcent schedules?

 

Totally no effect. The only events that have effect are Pinkpop and BKS. Pinkpop because they are partners and they announce some acts the same time.

BKS because they sometimes share an important act, it is very close to Belgium and they don’t want that people buy a BKS ticket instead of RW.

But we can expect some news in the next week. Including the sunday headliner. And a brand new promo campaign.

Great news. Especially hoping to see The Strokes being announced. (And Faith No More, Wilco, Anderson Paak, Lianne La Havas).  

The Strokes for Friday probably? Wondering who can be a Sunday headliner... RHCP seem to be quite probable.

What about Bille Eilish? A (co-)headlining slot on RW instead of a seperate show?

Thanks for the information @Ken19 

I believe that the Strokes are coming now Sunday must be RHCP.

Thursday 
PJ - Pixies - The Lumineers

Friday 
The Strokes - Alt-J - Liam 

Saturday
Gorillaz - Twenty on Pilots - Jamie XX ( Faith No More ?)

Sunday
RHCP - Placebo - Royal Blood 

Is this it?

I never remembered the Tame Impala again! ... And I also expect The War on Drugs.

Haha And I forgot about TWOD, really hoping for both.

Thursday 
Tame Impala (late night) - Pearl Jam - Pixies

Friday 
The Strokes - The War On Drugs - Liam Gallagher

Saturday
Gorillaz - Twenty on Pilots - Faith No More

Sunday
RHCP - Royal Blood - Placebo

This would be buzzing! Although maybe a little too much..

Bummer? I think Ken’s referring to the fact that the news won’t stop after next week.

I can not promise there will be news next week. But normally there will be in the next weeks.

I forgot to type the s... 

 

sorry guys! Hopefully it will be next week.

The problem for me in the UK buying a ticket at the moment is not mainly based on who is announced. It is based on the quarantine regulations if they are put in place for Belgium during RW.

I can't afford 1 week of RW followed by no work for another 2 weeks quarantine at home. The cost of travelling from overseas is double the cost of living in BE or NL. I would not be covered by insurance if I was to travel so would have to stay home and lose more than £700. I'm sure I'm not the only one like this and there are many that travel from UK, Portugal, Spain etc. So possibly less ticket sales from us.

I don't think any festival will take place if COVID-19 will still be around. Quarantine regulations would also have to apply to artists

I am surprised to know that IDLES in 2021 will be here twice in Portugal in a space of two months, I am surprised if they do not go to RW

The two situations are very different, Portugal is very long from north to south. They're playing a show in Lisbon in early June and then a festival which is more then 400 kms far from Lisbon and in late August. Rock Werchter is only 40 kms far from Bruxelles and only 3 weeks after their show at AB... So I can definitely see them playing another Belgian festival rather than RW.
