So frustrating when you hear the first chords and you are still outside waiting to get your bags checked. 

2018 - Rival Sons, starting super early (around 13:00 I think), a bit of a queue outside and I just wanted to scream...LET ME IN!!! 😂

By the time we were inside they were wrapping it up.

Hope you're not one of those idiots who's doesn't want to get vaccinated. I actually hope that those kind of people are not allowed on festivals.

This definitely wins dumbest comment I've ever seen on here   Edit: If RHCP fans are too old to go to a festival (21 too old now apparently) Bon Iver fans are far too busy watching paint dry

Big batch incoming Friday Indeed. Captain obvious over here. A lot of smaller ones too. Don’t think anyone will be fired 🤭.

I used to risk everything and board a plane in Poland at 7 am the day festival started. Collect a luggage, get to Leuven, bus to Werchter, pitch a tent, get in line and enter the festival grounds. Did that couple of times and usually managed too see 1st band on main stage. 2016 was an exception but it was an exceptional year (due to the fucked up weather conditions)

Think I was full of luck so not gonna risk this time. Flying to Brussels the day before 🙂

Looking at the time quickly, my doubts are:

TWOD or Black Pumas ?
Greta Van Fleet or ALT-J ?
Lewis Capaldi or Sam Fender?

TWOD were brilliant in 2015 so I expect them to do the same tis time.

For me it's Greta - haven't seen them and I fell asleep on ALt-J in 2017 (to be fair, I was at the barriers waiting to enter GC to see Foo Fighters)

Haven't seen anyone of these guys but Fender seems more rockier so it's an easy choice for me

Both time I’ve seen alt-J they were brilliant, but some of my friends were on their other shows and were really disappointed, so I can assume it’s hit or miss. Greta for me, like their music, never seen live and don’t understand all the hate towards them here. Guaranteed front rows on Metallica is another advantage.

My experience with Alt-J is a mixed bag. I really enjoyed them in their early days after album #1 (Reading R1 stage gig was a real treat for me) but Igot quite bored last 2 shows I've seen. I will opt for Greta this year, just to see how they cope with the slot.

Last time they played (literally the most recent RW edition), it was not so good.

It’s known that they had a shit slot for Alt J and they were crazily nervous. They had to restart 2-3 songs that set out of nervousness. Their Barn show on the other hand was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen and expect them to redeem themselves there this summer.

Surely in the mix for Glastonbury and Boutique 2 then!

He's not specifically my thing but his Superbowl appearance was interesting. A strong undercard and I could be tempted.

Though another insider on Festileaks thinks Boutique 2 will mainly have women acts at the top of the bill...

I could see Kendrick Lamar - Florence & The Machine actually. 

Give me Lorde before that combo and I'm in! I don't think she could ask for a better spot anyway.

London Grammar might end up somewhere too, given they won't play Pukkelpop.

      So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.

      I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
