All of them saying the top 6 are: Drake - Billie Eilish - Blink 182 SZA - Lil Nas X - Tame Impala Expecting a better undercard... Better undercard? This is pretty stacked.

Andrej Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I believe everything related Blink 182 will be out today, all at once, they are waiting for Lolla SA line ups to come out. Blink are playing there, all shows. So with that out I think they will announce the full reunion tour for 2023. My guess is all Blink dates are coming out today.

Blink EU-UK tour running from Sept-Oct 2023 seems to be the talk starting Sept 2nd in Glasgow, ending in Manchester on October 15th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll find out soon Confirmed for London O2 on October 11th, with space for a second night on the 12th. Seeing as they're confirmed for Canadian shows on the weekend of Werchter and their own Antwerp gig in September as part of their headline shows, we can rule them out of this one.

49Lawson Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I know he’s big in Belgium, but hardly a strong start… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCF Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) I'm not his biggest fan but that's the perfect first name for Werchter. It was meant to happen one day, and at least you don't start your announcements with Muse. He's quite big everywhere in Europe and his live show is very good. And I'm sure we'll have a strong co-head. Edited October 12, 2022 by VCF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polnico Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Pretty happy about this, but I understand that this might end up being the smallest of all headliners. Hoping for a nice co-head that day, Kendrick / Tame Impala would both work well with Stromae to form a nice "poppier day" (Tame Impala's gotta play in the dark though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neacaisa Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I think there might also be a strong third act or Barn head, as it was discussed in the previous years the Thursday is the hardest day to sell out so they usually have strong names that day.

Dietediet Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Let's not forget that his joint Boutique show with Gorillaz managed to sell 60k tickets. So yeah, combine him with a decent cohead and you'll have a sold out day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenG92 Posted October 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Not surprising but pretty cool, great musician and his live shows look ace. If AM & Muse is true though it's gonna have to be some really cool other names to get us in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietediet Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Ticket sale starts on 29th of October. Usually there is at least one act known for each day when sale starts, so more headliners are incoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarnic Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I hadn't really heard of Stromae when I saw him last time at Werchter but stood there in a ' mouth open' moment. The show, music and crowd were amazing. Being a local guy, who doesn't play often, the crowd love him and it created a real buzz the likes you don't see very often. I think he's a great first act and gets the festival off to a good start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the biggest thing for me, but then again as a potential ticket buyer coming from the UK I do understand that this announcement isn’t really for me and seems to have gone down quite well with the European crowd. As it’s been mentioned before there’s bound to be a strong co-head given that it’s Werchter (perhaps they go all out for a pop day and have T-Swift on before?) but as you mentioned Ben, the names we have aren’t a great starting point to convince me to shell out the hundreds of £££s it takes to get to Werchter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it decent, are there glamping options or hotels etc.. close?. How quickly does it sell out? was thinking of this as our Glasto back up but with Glasto tickets on sale Later this year no idea if I’d miss out on a ticket We stayed in the Hive MySpace this year. Think it was £200 for a 2 man tent with airbeds in a field full of them. Great option if coming from England. Decent size tent, all of them laid out side by side and back to back so you won't get anyone tripping over guy ropes or rubbing themselves past the tent making that SHWP SHWP SHWP noise when you're trying to sleep. It's 15 minutes walk from the entrance of the park itself, so popping back between sets is easy. And you walk down a big paved road, so if it rains the mud isn't really an issue. I'd do that again if I went back. Toilets have attendants that keep them clean and well stocked. There's free showers if you're in this area, but get up early. We made friends with our neighbours who had coincidentally been on our coach there. There's also a great bar right there, and a dance arena playing terrible songs. And you get to have pink beer with your breakfast 10/10 would go back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archi Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Not what I expected but it's still a massive name. Not only in Belgium. If you have a look on his worldwide tour, he's selling the biggest arenas in Europe or in the United States. Don't forget he was the closing act at RW 2014 after Kings Of Leon. Then the Werchter Boutique co-headline with Gorillaz this year. What about a Belgian touch on this first day with Oscar And The Wolf as sub?

Nicklord Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Stromae is one of the best live acts there is. I highly recommend our UK friends to watch this: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've seen Muse & AM so many times now and AM has gotten so stale that I no longer care to see my favourite indie band live, walked away after 20 mins at Leeds fest. Just signed up for Glasto tickets for the first time ever as I'm not impressed thus far.

Ferda Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I am glad to see a lot of enthusiasm about Stromae, not my cup of tea but I would be happy to watch him. My issue is with overall headliner combo rumoured - if AM and Muse are confirmed it leaves just one slot for open for something interesting. This I reckon will be a key factor for me if I am in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
