As much I'd LOVE to see Coldplay close the festival with a proper bang (which RPCH would never be able to deliver) I'm curious about other band

The War on Drugs - will they happen before Pearl Jam like it was spoilered/stated a while ago? Their 2015 performance is still in my mind as one of THE BEST RW experience. Plus the new single brings the nostalgia 😛

I don't think The War On Drugs will be there as they've announce a big show in Antwerp (SportPaleis) for 23 April 2022. A bit short to play at RW about 2 months later!

Rolling Stones announced the end of the year on an Amarican tour, will they then go to Asia and do a European tour?  Could it be Domingo's name?

There are rumors that they‘ll play Europe in July 2022 but I doubt they‘ll be at Werchter.

If plans about expanded 5-day edition (with separate tickets for extra day) of RW are still on the table then it’s possible. Or maybe second Werchter Boutique?

No "could have". The press release for the Nick Cave TW Classic already confirmed that we're getting 2 TW Classic editions next Summer, one with a more classic headliner. Although there are also rumors floating around regarding Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen, so it'll be one of those 3.

But…. Normally the second TW Classic was planned to be announced by the end of June… no idea why they didn’t do it.

No panic. That decision had been made for a while to wait.

Wait for what? COVID is unpredictable as ever even on short notice. See Pukkelpop.

I thought promoters are eager to announce huge shows as soon as possible with the current oversupply of shows in the summer of 2022.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
