Rock Werchter 2022

[Archi]

Zero festivals since 2019. People still get their tickets from 2020-2021 cancelled editions. Pukkelpop sold 70% of combi in 4h. All reasons to expect a faster soldout than the previous editions!

[Karlos12345]

Well. No Sunday acts. Makes me think that there‘s a headliner, that doesn‘t have any dates announced yet.

My money is on the RHCP playing their only festival show in 2022 (expect one-day events like EJEKT in Athens, Firenze Rocks and Funkyard in Tel Aviv).

Makes sense with annoucement strategy and lack of good places for headline stadium shows in Belgium.

But of course, this is also me as a fanboy and wishful thinking.

@Ken19 You got a wink for me in case I‘m onto something here? 😅

EDIT: With Macca at TW Classics there‘s only The Boss left on the list of big rumored acts for 2022 without dates. But he doesn‘t really fit Werchter anymore does he?

Just bought my tickets. First time back since 2017. Can't wait.

Has Macca been confirmed for TW Classic?

Rumored. Name dropped by our favourite insider in this thread.

[Phantom_Zone]

Any news on vaccine requirement status for RW2022?

Ah right, I get the feeling both Macca and Kendrick will announce, but they will drop all dates at once (similar to Metallica) 

[Daniel Ferreira]

Macca must be on the second TW Classic.
Kendrick must not tour 2022
Ken said at the end of May that the Peppers are not a sure thing at the moment and also said that the Tame Impala are not headlining the kind of festival that Werchter is, on the other hand Herman Schueremans has a good connection with this agent of the Tame Impala.

The boss fits everywhere 🙂 If that were to be the case I don't care what else happens that day (unfortunately I doubt it)....

So this isn't going to sell out tomorrow or anything, right? It won't sell out till more bands are added?

Mad Cool's 3 and 4 day tickets got sold out in less than a week even though a lot of people didn't like it. This might go really quick as well.

Let's not hope for too well before we have new names, so that RW has to continue focus on the best possible line-up...

@Ken19 if you meet me at the festival I'll pay you a beer a day... you deserve it 😉👏

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.

Maybe he's one of those people who can't get vaccinated for some reason. And even if he doesn't want to be vaccinated that's totally his choice and if you can't respect his choice (you don't have to agree with it), then you're the idiot!

That's why I used the word 'want'...

Still no sunday names..

Bit weird to start the ticketsale day with 4 names and no sunday headliner. But then again, Pukkelpop...

Wait, so... is there another headliner for TW Classic other than Nick Cave and Placebo, that hasn't been announced?

There will be 2 editions of TW Classic next year. One where Nick Cave will be the main act and one (on another weekend presumably) headlined by another headliner (McCartney has been mentioned for this).

@Ken19 Are tickets for RW22 selling well? 🙂

TW Classic #2 on the Sunday June 26th with Macca headlining would be perfect for us foreigners 🤘😎
