Bit soon isn't it? Considering Pearl Jam is also a 2018 name and Gorillaz, also 2018, are coming back as well. 

Hoping for something more unique for once. 

Gorillaz isn’t confirmed is it? I’d love The Strokes most on the line up but I don’t see them playing on the Metallica day, possibly Sunday

Wouldn’t mind QOTSA or Gorillaz coming back next year, it’ll be 4 year by that point since I’ve seen either of them. They would also be a big selling point for a couple of people in my group who are thinking of coming back to Werchter next year who haven’t been for a good few years.

I’m biggest thing I’m hoping now that they’ve got The Strokes before RHCP. That would be the cherry on top of a fairly stacked cake and looking at other line ups around the time/past Werchter line ups I think it’s something they could feasibly pull off

Hello,

I'm new here (hello everybody) and I wanted to know about :
- the maybe fifth day in Werchter (because many festivals announce extra days!)
- is the project of a 2nd Werchter Classic still under consideration or even more than that 😉 (Bruce Springsteen or ?)

Questions for @Ken19 ;-)

Thanks

The Weeknd will be doing his own tour (stadiums).

Peter Gabriel would be great for the Barn.

Deftones and Black Label Society are playing Graspop (exclusively). Deadmau5 might be more of a Pukkelpop or Tomorrowland thing. While I miss having the dance act headliners after the rock headliners at Rock Werchter, there's probably not enough people that agree with that sentiment. 

RHCP are on stadium tour, and at RW..
The weeknd (or Dua Lipa ) could be perfect name for the "pop act" no ?

I hope more names soon, I'm from Tahiti and all my friends in France buy tickets for other fest... I don't want to go at RW aloooone !

It really was so hot the last 2 years. One of the lad I went with got heatstroke and all. But fucking hell what was it...2016? when they had to get the tractors to go all night to get more mulch to make little mulch paths in the Hive camping. That was a wet nightmare 🤣

A lot of Foo Fighters on Studio Brussels today, because of the launch of the book of Dave Grohl.
Perfect headliner for Saturday 🙂

Can't have Metallica, Foo Fighters, RHCP and Pearl Jam at the same festival it's simply too good for real life.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • 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...
