Archi Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 The second TW Classic is on 26 June, the same weekend as the first one (with Nick Cave and Placebo). So I guess the second Werchter Boutique will happen on Saturday 18 June (the day before Stromae and Gorillaz). I thought about Muse but they play in Italy on 17th and then in UK. Foo Fighters are not available either as they are in Portugal that weekend. I can't imagine Maroon 5 headline such a huge event in Belgium... Are they still so big? Don't think so.

Daniel Ferreira Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 I haven't compared the schedules yet, but having schedules at the beginning of February is very positive, it's a sign that this is going to happen... it's been 2 years of hangovers! Festival can't please everyone, but we can all make the best of it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterplow Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) So who’s the replacement for QOTSA then? Just realize that the Friday is quite poor looking without them. At least we’ve got 1.5h of Moderat that day. That will be epic. Edited February 10, 2022 by misterplow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how the Dutch press release speaks about an "encore" and the tents will be used, I'd say the weekend after RW is more likely. And since all 3 stages will be used, I'm not expecting a huge headliner, as they seem to focus on the total package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greta Van Fleet were bumped up. Pretty shocking really. Even more shocking that Pinkpop just replaced them with Volbeat and Mad Cool will surely bring someone else in in their place.

Looking at was is said in the Festileaks forum, Volbeat isn't really a "replacement" per se. They were almost certainly already booked for that day, and since they were unnanounced, easy to bump them up and call them the replacement for QOTSA, while also signing a smaller act that is the actual replacement of QOTSA. So in the end, using the same scheme as Werchter, but with "the unnanounced band" trick additionally. This is of course all rumours, but it sounds really plausible to me.

So Pinkpop had a day with Imagine Dragons, Volbeat AND Queens Of The Stone Age? That would've be quite impressive, size- wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think so? FNM played an afternoon slot at Pinkpop in 2015. QOTSA are way bigger than that. Pinkpop has TOP playing their second stage too...

Sure, but that's Werchter - looking at Pinkpop I'm not convinced that Volbeat were originally planned. Metallica/PJ/ID headliners, 21P/Royal Blood/QOTSA subs and then bands like Nightwish and Nothing But Thieves below. Neither QOTSA nor Volbeat belong next to those.

In this case, I am more comparing QOTSA to TOP: very different bands, and surely I much prefer QOTSA, but TOP is a big band nowadays, and I have no doubt that they're at least the size of QOTSA. The FNM - Volbeat comparison is a bit different: one band is arguably bigger (Volbeat) but is also better fitted to "metal" festivals. The second one is I would say "historically" a bit bigger, so I guess everything evens out. But once again, question of taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just relating what was said in Festileaks forum. I think the theory is really plausible, so that's why I mentionned it here.

Archi Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 The Weeknd would make sense and as it can sold-out 2 times SportPaleis (20k) and said he wanted to do bigger shows (stadium) to offer a better show to the fans, he could do it at Werchter. And Maroon 5 as sub? They put Gorillaz and Stromae on the same day so that could be possible too. About the debate QOTSA / TOP, their success are quite similar right now I think. It can sound weird because QOTSA are way older but both can fit as headliner on every festivals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
