Well well well.. Coldplay officially came with some news today. New album coming in October and I personally think they are going to plan / planned a tour around this one. Might be our RW Boutique headliner?

It was a contract for 7 months so i guess its a world tour. I dont got details where they are going to perform exactly.

Any chance of Coldplay at the actual festival? Or McCartney? They both did great gigs in the past with good atmosphere.

Hahaha i hope they do 😛

As much I'd LOVE to see Coldplay close the festival with a proper bang (which RPCH would never be able to deliver) I'm curious about other band

The War on Drugs - will they happen before Pearl Jam like it was spoilered/stated a while ago? Their 2015 performance is still in my mind as one of THE BEST RW experience. Plus the new single brings the nostalgia 😛

I don't think The War On Drugs will be there as they've announce a big show in Antwerp (SportPaleis) for 23 April 2022. A bit short to play at RW about 2 months later!

It seems short. But why not then!

They won’t be the first.

Rolling Stones announced the end of the year on an Amarican tour, will they then go to Asia and do a European tour?  Could it be Domingo's name?

There are rumors that they‘ll play Europe in July 2022 but I doubt they‘ll be at Werchter.

If plans about expanded 5-day edition (with separate tickets for extra day) of RW are still on the table then it’s possible. Or maybe second Werchter Boutique?

[Archi]

We had 2 Werchter Boutique last year. We could have 2 TW Classics this year. One with Nick Cave and one with The Stones then.

[Dietediet]

No "could have". The press release for the Nick Cave TW Classic already confirmed that we're getting 2 TW Classic editions next Summer, one with a more classic headliner. Although there are also rumors floating around regarding Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen, so it'll be one of those 3.

My bad, sorry, mixed Boutique and Classic up.

But…. Normally the second TW Classic was planned to be announced by the end of June… no idea why they didn’t do it.

No panic. That decision had been made for a while to wait.

Wait for what? COVID is unpredictable as ever even on short notice. See Pukkelpop.

I thought promoters are eager to announce huge shows as soon as possible with the current oversupply of shows in the summer of 2022.

The Strokes playing NOS Alive, 3 days after RW.

Very odd that they've announced one show, I'm sure the strokes announced everything at once last time?

Fontaines DC as well. Hope both come to Werchter. 

[Ken19]

Fontaines will be back. Strokes normally not. But I hope that will change.
