Forecast getting better and better, now down to raining just 4 hours on Thursday!

Let's do as Nick Cave says and keep on pushing the sky away... 

Yes! And besides many good concerts are in tents during the raining time.

Please could someone tell me what 'setlist' is in Flemish and French? Google wasn't very helpful

You would normally use "setlist" in both languages :). Unless you want to describe what a setlist is, in which case for example in Dutch/Flemish you could say something like "lijst van liederen" or "lijst met liedjes".

One question, is it allowed to bring a pocket knife into The Hive?

It’s not allowed to bring sharp objects and weapons. so might be confiscated.

Turnstile just cancelled Main Square on the 30th. Hope this is a one off cancellation, already missed them at Primavera because of this, and couldn't get tickets for Hasselt.

Oh god please no, same re: Primavera so was hoping to catch them here. 

At the very least it would free up the whole IDLES slot and they'll definitely play the UK again next year, but still, please no.

Don't wanna get any hopes up, but this might be due to the fact they are playing Roskilde late (11pm) the day before Main Square where they were supposed to play quite early (6:30pm). That seems like it might have been a bit of a stretch to try to do these two in a row, and they are obviously gonna choose Roskilde given its size I guess ?

In Dutch and Flemish we also use the word setlist. It's one of those words that hasn't got a translation in our language.

Main Square in the north of France on the 30th,  but they are playing in Denmark on the 29th, that looks tight. But the switch from 29th in Denmark to 1st in Belgium is more than doable.

It might be related to the recent tour bus crisis leading to many cancellations recently. E.g. Sum 41 wanted to cancel Rock for People for exactly same reason. Keeping fingers crossed this is the case, Turnstile are high on my list. 

[henrysquire]

Almost there now everyone! Boarding the National Express just after midnight with the Eurostar booked for tomorrow. Get into Belgium just gone 1400 local time!

[maesydderwen]

Leaving now. Have a great festival everyone. On Friday if you see me in a 1991 Monsters of Rock Tshirt come and say hi. 

[Judithmt]

Just a few more hours at work and then onto the b&b. No Dutch angry farmer encounters I hope. Need to be in time for Midnight Oil in Brussels tonight. And tomorrow finally RW.

[activean]

Have a good one guys

Metallica cancels Frauenfeld due to COVID. 🤕

[Aech]

That is extremely upsetting

[Otto77]

We will see what will happen with Metallica.

When they cancel, surely Greta van Fleet won't be the big headliner?

[sacred shape]

Can't see how they'd be okay for Friday if they're not okay for today. Who's around and could replace them? Muse are free that day

[Nicklord]

They could possibly be okay if this started after Hellfest and they were waiting for today to see if they could play. But if they got sick this morning then they're gone for sure

Would they get a replacement or just bump an act up as it's short notice?

[Floyd_Ams]

Ouch! And unfortunately there isn't a sub that can be promoted to save the day. If for example QOTSA were there, as originally planned, the situation would have been much better (they are not as big as Metallica of course but still...)

I'll remain optimistic and we'll see what happens...

I don't know what magic tricks the organisers can do but to move a big band like Muse in such a short notice doesn't seem possible. The logistics are too complex.

Hope I am wrong but a big act seems like too short notice. I just hope that they'll at least reimburse day ticket holders, but I am afraid a bump + a belgian act is what we'll get.

 

If they indeed cancel, I hope that in all of this bad luck; they can at last fix Turnstile v IDLES.

Anyone hazarding a guess as to dates for 2023? With TW Classic a week earlier than this year does that mean Werchter could be   21 a 25/6?
