BenG92 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Royal Blood singer lost his voice after 5 songs at Hurricane and called it quits apparently. Seems like they managed to play Vienna okay last night though. More I think about it more I might just go see Jimmy Eat World and some Disclosure instead. Saw a bad Jimmy show once upon a time so haven't gone back since but maybe I need to drop that memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to lose interest in the middle (pun!) and only perk up for a couple of songs. First time was at Reading years ago and the other time was more recently supporting Frank Turner in 2019.

Yep last time I saw them they were just totally not interested, think it was a Leeds fest but memory escapes me.

metalfish91 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Hi, had to create new account since last forum crash few weeks ago and I'm back with another questions about festival 😆 It's my first time and I'm travelling by car. Do you guys remember how much time does it take to park a car, enter campsite and enter to the festival site? Why am I asking - if I will be in Werchter at 10 AM is there a chance to see Fontaines D.C. (2 PM)? Also I have camping A1 - should I park in zone A (wherever it is) or would it be better to park in zone B? I can't see where are these zones on the map... In addition I will drive through Germany from east if it matters.

Of course it's dependant on their health though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Saturday is much like mine but can’t really be bothered staying all that time for Grandson so will likely go back to Leuven after Phoebe Bridgers? We are in a hotel in Leuven so no real hardship! Such a strange Saturday Line Up? (IMHO of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS my Clashfinder: https://clashfinder.com/s/rw2022/?user=metalfish& (red=must see, blue=nah) Staying at Camping A1 you can best park at parking A8. It's not possible to reach it from the east. There is the village Werchter and it's closed from that direction. You have to go to the village Haacht, from there you will be guided towards the parking. At camping A1 there is plenty of space, depends where you want to drop your tent. From the back of camping A1 we usually walk about 25 minutes towards the festival area. So you probable will be in time for Fontaines DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalfish91 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Great news! Had some bad experience at few festivals with traffic, long time waiting for festival bracelet etc Thanks Otto77 for that tip with village Haacht and parking A8.

They 've announced it sometime ago but you can also see it here: https://www.rockwerchter.be/en/camping/the-hive-sold-out/the-hive-practical I see now that it mentions The Hive, The Hive My Space and The Hive Resort. If you are staying at "Camping Regular" I'm not sure if it applies. But it wouldn't be smart if it doesn't... Edit: Apparently Camping Regular is not run by the festival organization. Therefore, it might not be the case for those.

(IMHO of course) I saw Grandson at Download a couple of weeks back and I thought he was amazing, a really good show, but only 30mins, so I'm chuffed to see him for an hour. I feel you though, if I was in a hotel in Leuven I'm not sure I'd attend at all on the Saturday. After the withdrawal of Faith No More it just hasn't appealed to me.

What turned me on to them originally is that they sounded like Middle Class Rut who are just a drummer and a vocalist/bassist with a pedal who make a racket. Prefer the other band still but keen to give them a crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto77 Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) You can get your bracelet on Wednesday when you stay at the Hive, Hive resort or Hive Myspace. The other campsites aren't open until Thursday, so we have to get our bracelet at the main entrance. So calculate some time for that.

Yeah, I'm A1 so main entrance is the only place I can get a wristband but this Hive exchange point is great for regular campers as well. A lot people will already have their wristbands on them so naturally the queue for exchange at the gates will be shorter than the last one I saw back in 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed Deftones at Download but would have to say that they aren't a daylight/early evening main stage festival band. Their sound gets easily lost in any swirling wind and the stage always seems too big for them. I'd say Ohms is a reasonable album (all personal opinion obvs) and their venue shows are always good.

Ohms was okay but super forgettable, Gore was so shit that even the band will tell you that. Really liked KNY though. Yeah maybe it's just festival shows but they were great a decade ago every time I saw them. It's gotta be hard to pull all those vocal styles off at almost 50.
