I got my refund from Ticketmaster via PayPal. It took almost a week since I applied and the refund is 10€ short of the full price, but I guess it's a small price to pay considering the situation.

Was going to ask if anybody has got anything now we are a week on. Can I ask what 'evidence' you had to give? As the whole living abroad thing wasn't clear I just attached my tickets as I thought from the order number they could tell that I'm in the UK from the billing address etc.

I've not heard anything from them at all. Not even a confirmation that they received my request.

I stated that I live abroad with no intentions or means to visit Belgium anytime soon. I also wrote that I am a student and will have to take exams during this week of July on both 21/22. I did provide a confirmation of studies from my university but not sure if it's a must. 

Never got any written answer, only the PayPal mail about the refund.

I suddenly remembered that I did receive an email immediately after filling my application, confirming they received my request. Check your inbox again, otherwise you should fill it once more.

Smashing Pumpkins are coming out with an album, would be nice to have them finally at Rock Werchter, they've not played RW since 1997

I think they were set to play in 2019 but decided to stick to their dates in early June?

They should support Guns N' Roses during their US tour this summer shouldn't they?

Before Corona hit us, I thought they could be an option for the festivals in August, but I can Imagine they have no plans to return to europe any time soon

More info about the Kendrick thing. Difficult story. Unexpected. Not sure if he will be back in 2022, as i said before, man with a lot of plans. So he is available again for 2021. But many festivals did their job and were programming without him. And acts are not really in the mood to move/switch because of their ego, a deal that is already made, logistics... 

For example: 21 Pilots is not going to play 3rd down. 

Open'er is not RW. Open'er always have issues to complete all their headliners. They always have a spot available. For them it perfectly came together. For RW, Herman will have to do some magic. Because the top of the line up was ready, without him. And he is not the only promotor with this issue...

Open'er announced him last week. Last year when the Kendrick announcements were coming in, every day something was announced. You see, this was very unexpected.

Gorillaz to Pukkelpop and Kendrick to Werchter and everyboy is happy... hehe

Now, talking seriously, was it necessary to annouce new acts one year in advance? Maybe they could have sorted this problem if Gorillaz were not annouced yet.

No, the deal was signed a long time ago. And Gorillaz were one of the acts who wanted to announce asap. As i said before, the intention of RW was to announce in september for the first time. 

Also don't forget that for Albarn and entourage, they will always prefer RW. The artist always have the choice, not the festival.

    • I also dont think Deftones will tour next year.   But I think RIP will have both Foos and Blink and if SOAD fo festivals that will be your 3.
    • Bearing in mind the Maiden point could just be nothing. They should also get Sabaton on second bit if i was them with their stage show I wouldn't take it. It would have to be headline due to how Download program and they won't 
    • Nothing wrong about the lineup, which has been great over the last few years. But it just doesn't balance out my experience anymore.   Also, there seems to be a shift in the festival to cater towards US clients? This year felt like a 'cool' version of Coachella for some reason but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.   Maybe I'm just getting old.    Many locals get in for free either via friends of the organisation or just plainly using the QR codes multiple times. I had a chat with many of them over the weekend. They told me it is a 'thing' among locals. You just don't pay Primavera Sound
    • I'm not a Bond fan or anything, just a fella who will happily sit and watch a Bond film - so from that perspective I will say that Brosnan is my favourite, I really love all the ones he has done and can quite happily watch them over and over.   favourite individual film tho is On Her Majesty's Secret Service.   absolutely hate the Dalton ones - I used to think it was just the way he chose to play the character, for some reason he thought Bond should be a thoroughly unlikable person. but actually, Dalton plays this exact same character in every single thing I have ever seem him in... so I think he is either just a properly sh*t actor, or maybe he himself is just a thoroughly unlikable person.   dont really have any interest in any future ones tho... didnt really like the Craig ones.
