Although it will probably make a lot of people happy, this lineup will have me skipping RW next year. It would be a bit...bland? I respect everyone who thinks otherwise of course. 

(Maybe this year's insane Primavera lineup spoiled me a bit I guess.) 

I half agree. It would me skipping too. I looked back some of the pre 2010 and just after Werchter lineups and definitely think I missed 'my time's. Primavera mind doesn't cross me as insane. All jokes aside though there is a few I'd see but it's never been for me.

Update by Firenze Rocks on Chili Peppers 2022

Good news! Fingers crossed they'll be back at Werchter too!

„Working hard“ and „confirmation is close“ sounds a bit conflicting. Done deal or not?

I never saw a "we almost booked a band" announcement. 

[Kusy]

Harsh times. People are wanting their fav band or they'll gonna return tickets thus the festivals are doing everything to change their minds.

Yeah. So probably waiting for the joint announcement date.

Maybe it‘s to please the fans. Literaly every top 10 comment on the Muse announcements was asking for the Peppers.

I'm wondering me why they say "working hard". RHCP want more money to play?

Could be a lot of things: band routing, money, supports acts, covid rules etc

[lighthouse]

Pearl Jam, Metallica, RHCP, TOP... Ugh. 

I'm glad they prolonged the option to transfer your tickets to 2023. Or they have a big surprise up their sleeves.

We want chilly willy!

This post over and over man, it gets boring...
It's Rock Werchter not Primavera Sound 2.0.

[Kusy]

The truth is that there is no reason for Peppers to want solo shows instead of the signed festivals ones. And they get more money from fests :))

They will probably play some headline ones as well. 

[Archi]

I guess it's more about schedule. And I can understand people that want to see more Red Hot Chili Peppers (with Frusciante back) than Muse whom are touring more often in Europe.

The news that RW is prolonging ticket transfer to 2023 is pretty new.

And so is the way the 2022 lineup is starting to look like. Only 1-2 weeks ago it was still a lot more open. I’ve got tickets for this fest so it’s only logical that I hope for headliners that excite me. And just like the build up to this year its going the wrong way for me. Please allow me to express me instead of attacking me personally. This is a forum.

You're saying the same thing over and over again. You made your point, like 10 times... And if "the right to express yourself" is so important to you, you shouldn't have a problem with me doing the exact same thing myself right now.

The constant complaining about rock/guitar acts is just annoying. It's okay if you prefer The Strokes and Nick Cave over Metallica and RHCP but this is Rock Werchter not Primavera Sound. A line up with Metallica and Pearl Jam is not a bad or a 'a bit bland' one, it's just not your taste. Wich is fine, but like I said. You made your point.

Are we expecting a lot of crossover with the Mad Cool acts?

Would have thought it had more to do with Belgium playing its first EC-game today, but it could be...

I love the marketing of Mad Cool. They know how to excite fans even more.

[unodosseb]

Metallica absolutely confirmed for mad cool now so almost guaranteed here too

[Ken19]

Like I said in the other topic, later more on that. There was absolutely no permission from Metallica to tease them for Mad Cool... Metallica is not the kind of band that is taking this easy. 

But yes, they were booked for 2021. Werchter was the first and the tour was build around RW. Normally they would have been confirmed a couple of weeks ago, still no idea why this was delayed. So next week seems obvious.

Thank you again for the inside information. Really appreciate it! But what the hell is Mad Cool doing... I think they should've learned from the last time...
