BenG92 Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 It's been about 36 hours since RHCP walked off stage at Rock Werchter 2022 and I'm already thinking about the possibilities for next year while I deal with the post-festival blues! Assuming we're back on track for a normal reveal schedule post-Covid, we should be expecting the first names around November, maybe a little earlier or later. No better time to get the thread started! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No better time to get the thread started! Can't add reactions anymore to do this, so I'll do it by responding : 🏆 Here are my (very) early picks: Thursday: Tame Impala - Arcade Fire + Nine Inch Nails (Barn) - Bonobo (Klub c) Friday: RATM + SOAD - Charli XCX (Barn) - Little Simz (Klub C) Saturday: Kendrick Lamar + Billie Eilish + Foals - Gojira (Barn) - Four Tet (Klub C) Sunday: Arctic Monkeys + QOTSA - The Smile (Barn) - Caribou (Klub C) 100% need to get my own hopes down, but please give me a few of those and I'll already be happy.

BenG92 Posted July 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Some previously planned acts, cancelled acts, old favourites, new blood. Slightly alternative Saturday again. Thursday: Muse / Arcade Fire / Rosalia Friday: The Strokes / Queens of the Stone Age / Faith No More Saturday: Kendrick Lamar / The Weeknd / Charli XCX Sunday: System of a Down / Bring Me The Horizon / Nine Inch Nails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarnic Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Rage against the machine should have a good chance as they should have played 2021 so are probably contracted for a show at some time in the next couple of years. Subbing them with SOAD for a mosh pit day like no other would be class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge fan of their newer stuff but they have a new album due soon, think they'll be around at festivals next year including RW.

Andrej Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 RATM should be there next year. Not so sure about SOAD. NIN also likely to tour again next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bram Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Never been to RW and (up to now) this is the only music fest this year with glowing review from the audience side. Been thinking to go to RW next year but really curious on how long usually the ticket sold out from the initial sales? And How far the distance from one stage to the other?Is it difficult to get through the front and middle barricade on the main stage, barn and klub cv?

VCF Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Arctic Monkeys / Nine Inch Nails Kendrick Lamar / Arcade Fire (AF could even play in the dark should Kendrick have a shorter set) Rage Against the Machine / QOTSA Taylor Swift / The National (wont change my mind on this) Boutique : Billie Eilish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you plan on being at the front of the stage for every single show, you can of course forget it, but arrive 10-15 (careful with the biggest tent names though) mins early for a Barn/Klub C act and you usually get a good spot (back is crowded but front is kinda ok). There are no "middle" barricades in the Barn and Klub C btw ! For the main stage, this can get more tricky if you want to enter one the 2 front pits, and for big acts, this usually mean arriving at the gates of the pits as the previous act finishes, which means a bit of waiting. However if watching main stage concerts from further is ok for you, no worry. The walk from Barn to main is max 10minutes, a tiny bit less from Klub C. Barn and Klub C are next to each other. The Slope is located 5 min from Klub C and max 10 from Main Stage. Edited July 6, 2022 by polnico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day ticket crowd this year on Saturday were noticeably younger (sober) girls and that's just the twenty one pilots affect, Taylor will have that place swamped and Kendrick is only going to bring in drunk teenage lads that BYOB. Arcade Fire and The National certainly won't be enough to impress the rest of us if they're anything like me. Crowds were so much better at Werchter this year (the Metallica and Covid effect) a lineup like this would see me bored to tears in the Rage crowd I expect like the front of Muse in 2019.

I agree! I was mostly referring to the many "IFs" involved for such a lineup to be formed. Will Radiohead get back together and tour (with The Smile being on tour till the end of '22)? Same for Blur. Will The Strokes accept to be the sub? But one can dream... Edited July 6, 2022 by Floyd_Ams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry yeah for sure Radiohead is mostly a lot of hope, not for me but my two friends who love them. No need for Strokes to sub it'll just be another headline slot like The Killers (even though they finished early) or Twenty One Pilots. My dream is: Foo Fighters // The Strokes // Liam Gallagher Guns n Roses // System of a Down // Royal Blood AC/DC // Slipknot // Bring me the Horizon Tyler The Creator // Florence + The Machine // Lizzo Edited July 6, 2022 by Aech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenG92 Posted July 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Radiohead are basically the end of my bucket list at this point so that alone would probably sell me for '23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
