Ready to go out but I assume core festival first. 

So we’ll have a lineup for CORE, a ticketsale for CORE, a lineup and announcement for Boutique 2, a ticketsale for Boutique 2, a lineup and announcement for TWC2, a ticketsale for TWC2, more names for Boutique 1 and if all that is done, we’ll have the Pukkelpop lineup followed by that additional Pukkelpop weekend thing?

Tight schedule. 😅 Can’t imagine Pukkelpop coming much later than the beginning of March too.

Poor Pukkelpop. Lowlands has already announced their lineup and has sold out in the meantime...

According to the insiders, there will be 2 extra days.

Saturday June 18th another Werchter Boutique, that Sunday there will be Boutique with Gorillaz and Stromae.

Sunday June 26th another Werchter Classic, that Saturday there will be Classic with Nick Cave and Placebo.

 

But all insiders say that plans can change every day. Artists postponing tours, cancelling.

For instance everybody thought Bruce Springsteen would perform, but that plan didn't happen.

So we just to have wait who will perform.

Still strange times.

Well I guess the main source for those claims by „insiders“ is this very thread.

Not only this thread.

Also on the Festileaksforum there are a few insiders, so there are more insiders.

But I will wait what the organization from Werchter will publish.

I'm a bit pessimistic with Queens of the Stone Age, Faith no More, the Streets, Aerosmith,

Avenged sevenfold, Lionel Richie, Of Mice and men already cancelling their tour.

Well the cancelation of QOTSA, FNM and Avenged are non-covid related.

Several British papers now reports that sir Paul will headline Glastonbury on 25th of June.

Don't know if that makes him more or less likely for this, since TWC2 is expected to be just one day later.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • 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.
