My wishes :

- Sigur Ros, Editors, Porcupine Tree, Puscifer, and maybe Dave Matthews Band.

 

Sigur Ros, Porcupine Tree and Puscifer would be awesome for the Barn! Together with Archive, The Smile and Madrugada. Those names would get me more excited than most potential headliners.

OR you're underestimating the ego of those bands. (Plus, come on, Werchter is no Glastonbury..)

selling stadiums isn't a guarantee of quality you know.. NIN and The Killers clearly haven't the same public

No you're right Werchter's main stage lineup blows Glastonburys out the water.

DMB as a barn head would be fantastic, they're so so good live, better than any studio stuff. Also keen for the return of PT, hoping they're added to Download 23

The barn is much better than the main stage.
Fingers crossed, those 3 bands have new album this year.

The new PT album was released a couple of weeks ago and their tour ends in November (plus Steven Wilson is finishing up work on his new solo album). The odds are not in our favour...

Sigur Ros are working on a new album but their world tour also ends in November. Hopefully they'll tour again in '23 with the new material. As for Puscifer, Keenan has hinted new things coming but it might just be more remixes. They are on tour in US now.

Known? Before anything is confirmed, I don't think we should take anything for granted...

Are we all onboard the Pulp hype train for 2023? I have absolutely no idea if they’re doing European dates, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they only did a handful of UK shows but after Werchter missed them on the last reunion I would love for them to turn up on the bill next year

[misterplow]

I’m on the Pulp hype train for sure!  

[The Black]

A yes from me for Pulp. Chances are slim though I think, as they'll want a prominent spot.

[Aech]

I'd be well happy with a Pulp sub

RATM cancelled entire EU 2022 tour, hope  they are still supposed to do the contract signed in 2020 and show up in Werchter next year. Them & QOTSA one day would be epic.

Seeing as the second part of the US tour is still confirmed as going ahead in 2023, I'm certain they'll be in Europe in the summer of 2023.

That's probably the reason for the cancellation and not the rescheduling g as well. Makes no sense to have festival shows and venue shows booked (Sportpaleis and Werchter for instance).

Rage(QOTSA)/Arctics(Pulp)/Kendrick(Tame Impala)/Green Day(SOAD)?

Would this go down well? I feel there would need to be another big rock band but not sure who's touring.

Another big rock band on top of that massive list?

I'd be there in a heartbeat and it certainly doesn't need any more huge names

Muse - YES please, Royal Blood - NO. Enough is enough

Muse played very recently. I'm guessing Sportpaleis for them (their day sold really bad last time).

ARCTIC MONKEYS / Arcade Fire / Bastille

KENDRICK LAMAR / Lana Del Rey / Foals

THE STROKES / Pulp / King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

No Belgium date, possibly the marquee headliner next year? Or more likely for Boutique?

I think they will skip Belgium altogether in 2023, after having played Brussels 4 (!) times earlier this month...

Sure like the look of this, but those are extremely "genre-focused days" (Thursday is Heavy, Friday hip-hop...), this will be good for day ticket holders, but might annoy some combi ticket buyers.

 

Also, the programs in the Barn is mostly "similar" to the one on the Main (except Saturday), better to have two different things to offer diversity!
