IF RHCP are indeed out of the festival circuit picture for next year, we're looking for a new Sunday headliner. If it's not Muse, SOAD, Gn'R, Green Day, Aerosmith, Nick Cave or Macca I'm hoping for Coldplay or Foo Fighters.

It will be clear soon enough.

Maybe Werchter was able to keep RHCP due to lack of alternatives for a headline stadium show in Belgium.

I also don't think that RHCP would be able to fill a stadium (King Baudoin e.g.). So, this could indeed be a possibility (same as Muse in 2019).

Maybe RHCP'll not play in Europe during summer 2022 because they'll be touring in US and they'll play europeans festivals in 2023.

It's really strange what RHCP are doing they cancel all their festival in Europe and US. Chad Smith always says the plan is to touring in 2022 but we don't see anything. There is no communication. RHCP are not anymore one of the biggest band and I don't understand their come back (with Frusciante) strategy.

About Muse. It seems they're not playing in Benelux next year. I know they struggle to sold out their gigs but drop totally Benelux, I'm surprise.

Ticket sale starts 23 June at 10 am. Is that new info? Will they sell day tickets without headliners? Did they do so last year?

Pukkelpop is selling tickets without names for a festival that starts in 2 months. I'm not surprised by anything anymore!

"Just please give us some money" - literally every festival in the last 18 months

If they don't announce new names until there, they'll sell combi-tickets and day-tickets for only the first 2 days with Pearl Jam and Metallica. They've already done it in the past if I'm correct.

The rumor in RHCP community is that they're not playing festivals because Frusciante doesn't wanna do em. Any truth in there or are just people bullshitting? 😄

I just wanna hear Frusciante, Flea and Chad Smith play together. I only saw them once in 2007 just before the breakup and the tension on the stage was huge, it wasn't good at all.

[Aech]

I'm expecting a pretty big announcement on Friday then, exciting times!

They were booked for 2021 when Frusciante was already back.

What community do you mean? Is there still an active one?

Facebook groups where people that have some inside info write, like legit inside info 😄 But I'm not following them closely so I'm not sure which info came from guys like Henrik (dude went to 200 shows and got a song played for him after like 20 years for his bday) and what was just made up.

All the forums are dead sadly

I don't know which community he's talking about exactly but there are still lot of fans of the RHCP! And I'm sure lot of people are interested in the band again because of Frusciante back. Wherever/Whenever they play I Europe, I'll attend the show and I'm sure a lot will do as well.

Anyway, great to see Rock Werchter will announce other names before next Wednesday. I just hope Pukkelpop will do the same!

No SOAD, No Strokes, No Placebo
will it also be without RHCP ?? I'm a bit disappointed.

  Muse, Gn'R, Green Day, Aerosmith, Nick Cave, Macca, Foo Fighters are bands that are in some festivals but are not for RW.

Possible: Gorillaz, Tame Impala, The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Faith no More, Pixies, King of Leon, The Lumineers, Liam G., TOP, Alt-J, Royal Blood, Jamie xx, Editors, The War on Drugs, Parcels ,Beck and Wolf Alice ( she was needed , RW lacks women )

You are absolutely right.

Are they dropping all the headliners before tickets being on sale, or some of the undercard?

They are searching for a solution. But don’t think Werchter will be involved. 

Hell nooooo 😕

I was wondering why The Strokes weren't announced for NOS Alive today....

I also thought Metallica were set to play Roskilde instead of Copenhell?

I'm really sad about the prospect of not having The Strokes headline too. But, if that falls through, I hope there's an alternative date or place for them in either Belgium or The Netherlands.

Everything would be fine if they'd do a proper solo tour instead but I guess this is the last thing that we can expect from The Strokes...
